Are there any ploddiness stats?
How many bringing attacks to a standstill stats are there?
As usual you are giving an opinion.
How much money do you want to spend on an attacker that needs to be taught the basics?

That was an opinion. Well done you.
Richarlison actually did pretty well, shame he's not been consistently fit.
Availability is the most under estimated stat in football.

If you watch this video it shows you that he's more than capable playing on transition and more than capable of playing in no space with players surrounding him - for example this is typical of the kind of shape we play against, look at all this space on the wing:
Now imagine a player like Neto playing against his full back, he'd have a field day against him.
Low block teams are a bit of a myth these days anyway, like how many teams set out in a low defensive shape and exclusively play on the counter? Not many. The vast majority of teams sit in a defensive shape and put 11 men behind the ball regardless of intent, it's the same for everyone including the teams Wolves faced - they don't exclusively play against low block teams and their game plan wasn't just focused on transitions hence why those stats are key.
Anyway all moot, doubt we sign him and if we do I hope we don't spend stupid amounts on him

Done!
Point taken...
Recouped £100m for player sales last season from Kane/Winks/Sanchez
Still need to sell, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Reguilon, Skipp, Gil, Spence, Solomon, Richy (possibly) have already recouped £10 from Rodon - we can get near to £100m again.
Season before we only recouped around £32m and our outlay was £153
Not saying it will happen but taking into account our trajectory we can certainly push it.
We certainly do have enough wealth to do that but it’s obvious we won’t
I'm glad I deleted my post now... Seeing as there's SUCH a strong Levy sentiment on here...
Get "Levy'd" how, exactly?
We all know why we're despised...
We've spent plenty... Yet people still believe the narrative.... and what's that exactly?
Just some can't quite admit it!
He is a serious player. Would you want him if it meant no other incoming players
Onana is 22 and doesn't spend half of every season injured.
Underrated ability when it comes to pressing is the way it effects the rest of your game.
You can teach a player to press but there is a natural ability required. That much running isn’t a good mix with players who also use strength and power in their game. It’s basically different energy systems in the body. Not every player can run and press that much without negatively impacting the rest of their game.
Or better, delete his account.

Julian Alvarez has asked to leave City. I doubt he'd want to join us but another forward on the market is never bad.
No, I want Eze AND other players!!
It's like that argument about whether you'd rather the FA Cup, or Top 4... Why not BOTH?
Since when has it been the one thing or the other League?
You can have any febrile opinion you want but don't produce bogus stats to back up your almost always bogus opinions.
Fair point. Also there's the £8m from Parrott, so that's £18 from him and Rodon. Then, conservatively:
Emerson £18m
Hojbjerg £15m
Gio £12m
Reguilon £8m
Skipp £12m
Gil £7m
Spence £8m
Richy £40m
That's an additional £120, but we won't manage to ship all those players, I imagine a few will be loans. We probably won't find any takers for Solomon either.
The big one is the Richy fee, and much as I want to move him on a lot will come down his willingness to go to Saudi, which I don't really see happening. I don't see who else plumps up the cash for him or where he'd be willing to go.
Yeah but 70m up front on Eze might = no other players
