peach0000 Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 Semedo is awful and anyone who watches Spanish football will tell you that.

Covid seems to be affecting the spending of some clubs more than others Great transfer work by Wolves. Flog Doherty for £15m and bring in a very average player for £37m. He’s was absolutely appalling in that Bayern game and Spanish journalists can’t believe it. Reads like old Jorge doing his business again for another favour somewhere else Although I think playing RWB will greatly help Semedo Edited 23 September 2020 by Cardiff_Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all good and well looking at clubs and thinking he’d be a great signing but realistically, we can’t go in for some players because our starting 11 is very settled in most parts. Llorente doesn’t sign for us to sit on the bench. Buying good quality squad players given we are competing with some of the biggest clubs in Europe for quality footballers is hard enough. Sociedad fan on twitter said he’s been incredibly poor for a year and injuries have done him . Says a lot that he was Leeds third transfer target for a CB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be one of the signings of the season and no wonder they were quick to get rid of Doherty. Meh. He's not torn up trees at Barcelona, they need the cash, he's part of one of their worst squads in years. He's not a Barcelona type player at all, Ricardo is much more their kinda skill set. I think he'll do well at Wolves, don't get me wrong, he's a better fit there than at Barca. But it's not like they've just signed Fati or De Jong or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 Wolves only signing him on a 3 year deal for that price is bizarre. Personally don't think he is actually thst good, very much like Cancelo. They may have been or are at big clubs but they haven't impressed. Ricardo is twice the player of both of them. I'd be surprised if Semedo scores and assists as many as Doherty who was very underrated in that Wolves set up. Wolves need Telles too, do not rate that old Brazilian they signed recently.

StanSP Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 I might have exaggerated a bit Think he's decent to be honest and reckon he'll do very well there. He suffered injuries at Barca which affected his play, and Barca being shite in general doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to come and post this. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Time will tell, but I assume if he has a good debut then they'll be hounding Lang to apologise for his dreadful error in having the temerity to question the transfer. Think Everton fans were doing similar to Max Rushden. They took his flippant comment on Football Weekly about James Rodriguez out of context and went for him.

Popular Post AKCJ Posted 23 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 23 September 2020 Semedo has 2 goals and 7 assists in 5185 minutes of La Liga football. Playing for Barcelona. Doherty has 8 goals and 11 assists in 6197 minutes of Premier League football. Playing for Wolves. Mendes has that club by the bollocks. Bet he's made a good 10m out of those two transfers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 Do feel satisfied in seeing a club like Wolves being ambitious and trying to break club records, which their fans would never thought about happening around 5 or so years ago, but can't but help thinking they're doing it in an unethical way via massive agent-involvement that swings the club's interest towards them for the formers' benefit.

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 23 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 23 September 2020 Wolves are the dodgiest run club in the Premier League, which is saying something given Man City and Chelsea are in it too. I can't say we have been angels as our spend in the Championship was questionably against the rules, but these days we seem pretty much above board. I think their fans are being blindsided by the success they are having, despite their fanbase being used by one man (Jorge Mendes) to make himself even richer than he already is. They are a good team with good players and a good manager, but it would make me feel very uneasy to support them. They are being exploited. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
