Crazy club.

I'm sure charnley will find some way to make sure the almiron signing doesn't go through.

[ellroy]

On the subject of the signing of Almiron. If the deal does go through, at the mooted £20m, we’ll still be £1m in profit on transfers this season......

Just saying like.

[fathomfive]

fk me, two signings including a broken transfer record.

Almiron now worth more than the rest of the squad

[The jiffle king]

He’s a good player. I saw Almiron when I lived in Atlanta and he was a cut above the rest. You’d expect that but he really can pick a pass and gets into good positions

[ellroy]

Well, on reflection what do we think?

Needed strengthening and came in the right areas for me, but possibly one more would have made it a very good window. As it is? I think just enough is about how I’d pitch it.

Almiron looks bloody rapid, but how much time and space he’ll get compared to the MLS is a big question.

Anyway, onwards and upwards.

[fathomfive]

As I was expecting the usual transfer window policy to apply - all hot air and failed deals, I'm pretty happy.
Agree another body or two would have been nice, just for some cover.
Hopefully the new lad will find his feet sufficiently to help nudge us away from relegation.

[Chicken Chaser]

Big ask for him. Completely different pace of football and he's been in the off season so will take time to get back to full fitness. Interested to see what he can do though.

[Black can man]

Tough one tomorrow gents .

Will the new chap play ?

He won't have his work permit sorted by all accounts.

[ellroy]

Barreca will be in the squad, which is good news. Always good to have at least some cover in every position and that’s the first time we can say that about left back in how long?

[fathomfive]

I can't remember the last time we had cover back there.

[ellroy]

Decent effort, but nee points.

[DoctorX]

Next four games look winnable though....

[ellroy]

Thoughts on this evening?

Looks like 2 are probably down now, so there are about 4/5 flirting with that one last space.

Could certainly do with something from it that's for sure, but they've looked good all season have Wolves, that's what you get with a decent manager and an owner spending money on decent players......

[Chicken Chaser]

I think we will get something out of it. Interested to see how the new additions get on.

[Fastchas]

As a Wolves fan, I look at tonights game and being Newcastle I feel it won't be an easy match (what are?).
How do Geordies feel going into it?
I thought the same against Everton and was surprised to beat them 1-3 but listening to Everton fans it's what they expected. Their defence is awful atm. How they got to their league position is beyond me!

Balls.

[DoctorX]

Indeed

[ellroy]

As an aside, how good was Longstaff? Again.
