Two in as many days- no fuss, no mess. More like this!

 

[Kenny]

He really didn't want to smile when he looked down at the away kit!

 

[Jabbawolf]

No nowt about you, mate, but welcome to Wolves.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Never seen him play but can't complain for that fee. Plenty of experience and should be decent cover.

Got to be an improvement on Vallejo anyway...

 

[jd1981]

Proper squad strength being built

 

[The Bear]

I wonder if he'll go straight in at LCB, plus covering for Vinagre if needed?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He played in a champions league semi final less than a month ago so I can’t see him being shite.

 

[Boozad]

Welcome to Wolves Marcal, you're in for a right ride.

 

[Del Woppio]

Basically a free transfer, hopefully better than saiss or at least some cover for/more defensive at left wingback. I know fuck all about him tbf, but from what I've read since his move to LCB it seems like he's belatedly found his position, and his defensive numbers look good.

Good to see some experience being signed, more options for Nuno so can only be a good thing

This narrative annoys me though. David May won the champions league, premier league and fa Cup treble, and he was wank. Not just you obvs even wolves have done it. Lyon could have just as easily gone out in the groups or made the semis, it doesn't make him any more or less a player.

I think he's decent going forwards but can't cope with quick wingers.

You’re not worried we’re going to have too big a squad for Nuno to work with?

Central defenders are a bit more crucial to results than jobbing midfielders though.

Are you suggesting May was a midfielder here?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

May was definitely a centre back! Del has a point . Oleg Luhzhny.

 

[Tony Towner]

Djimi Traore is the poster boy of winning a CL medal whilst being shite if you are looking for it

 

[Del Woppio]

Erm. Ta.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

David May played nine games that season and 0 in Europe, so it's not the greatest comparison

Anyway - from a squad point of view fits what we tend to like to do. Sign players who can play comfortably in more than one position. Just stops you hoarding numbers.

It is slightly odd for us to sign outfield players on a permanent basis who are over 30. We've had Ricketts, Williamson, Moutinho and now Marçal in relatively recent years, can't think of too many more. But sometimes you just do the deal if he's still performing, short contract, low fee, no risk as such.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah I got mixed up with Butt.
