And welcome to her arse from what you were saying a couple of weeks back about your stay in the caravan!!
I think AN recognises that the Wolf is seriously short of confidence and is attempting to build him up again. Let;s hope it works
RvW played really well early on under CH, including getting physical with defenders and excellent movement, but he seemed to be ground down by the poor service he was getting. We have players now much better suited to providing that service, so fingers crossed it works out.
It was the way in which you and the other poster reacted/overreacted (some might argue I have done the same in my response!)to his post that made me reply in addition to what seems to be a trend at the moment for everyone to try and bury someone else for there opinions. Yours being the later of the two meant that it was yours that I responded to, it could have just as easily been 1950's comment I replied to. You are right of course it was hyperbole on his part, which makes sniping at him all the more strange, it was probably 1950's "So you know better..." that annoyed slightly more than your agreement with it. But here we are arguing about nothing! Have we signed anyone yet?? Bah!
Speaking of signings, there hasn't been much talk about how well Odjidja-Ofoe played against Rotherham. He's almost like a new signing this year.
Not sure where to put this, but Chamberlin's Sky Sports article about the weekend says that if we avoid defeat Sunday Neil will have set a new club record of 13 away games undefeated. Fingers crossed - it would be nice to have a positive record broken for once!
If Wolves get what they want, I'm not sure we'll be able to afford a solitary hobnob leave alone two packs! Bah!
AN talking up RvW might equally be a case of needs must. Jerome is clearly first choice at the moment unless a new player comes in and displaces him. But in the event of an injury, it's RvW who is most likely to be leading the line. Getting any kind of confidence into RvW is therefore clearly important.
I can't help feeling that the lack of confidence in RvW has to do with the service he receives rather than in himself. AN seems to be working hard on that though. Meanwhile, we seem to have a bid for Kalidou Koulibaly rejected by Napoli. This from Vital Norwich: "Norwich City have had a 12m euro bid for French defender, Kalidou Koulibaly rejected by Serie A side, Napoli according to Sky Italia. The report suggests that Napoli could be holding out for as much as 15m euros for the 6'5' central defender. Koulibaly is also a reported target for Southampton, who have been heavily linked with Celtic's Virgil van Dijk following the hoops' Champions League exit on Tuesday evening."
Call me an old cynic if you like, but having followed City for nigh on 45 years I've a pretty good idea how this transfer window will end. Having been linked to the likes of Van Dijk, Mbokani, Destro, Koulibaly, Afobe etc. etc. in all probability IF we bring anyone in at all now it will be that Palarse old timer Gayle or someone of a similar ilk. Don't get your hopes up guys because you'll be heading for a fall.
Checking on Wolves' fans forums, there's a rumour going round that Afobe is going to hand in a transfer request today and we're about to submit a fourth bid. So I don't think we're quite done and dusted, but I agree we shouldn't get our hopes up. The problem with Koulibaly is that it's a little merry-go-round, with Saints wanting VDV, Celtic wanting Koulibaly, etc. But we don't have anyone that anybody wants...
