Ex-Wolf Watch

This comment amused me:

"He’s a flouncing ponce, stands there with his arms in the air when a team mate doesn’t read a pass or one of his stupid flicks fails. Sits on the floor with his arms in the air bitching to the ref when he’s been fairly tackled rather than getting up and chasing the ball. Needs to sort himself out."

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We NEVER saw that sort of thing. No siree

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He wouldn't actually get in our team now we've changed formation.

Like fuck would you trust him in a midfield two, you're not going to do something mental like put him at RWB, and he has nowhere near enough goal threat to play instead of Hwang.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s worked out rather nicely with getting that massive sum and early signs are that Doyle will suit our style rather more.

 

[Wolvensam]

Glad we're rid, even if Pep does end up doing Pep things to him. He never would have achieved those heights here, we got a decent sum of money, and I think it forced us to rethink our style of play/formation. As Deutsch mentioned he wouldn't get in a 3-4-3.

Podence is wearing a comedically large number on his back which exaggerates his shortness

Noise is increasing. Still don't think they'd be that overt. They don't need the hassle

It’s almost like they knew about Tonali and all of this was planned…

I wouldn’t expect these fine people to do anything that shady though.

Neves to Newcastle might turn out to be one of the worst kept secrets in football.

If it happens, there will be sone serious questions to answer…..all over the place.

Let’s face it, it’s likely.

They absolutely don't care about the hassle. It's been obvious that this was the plan from the minute he went to Saudi. Corrupt as fuck way to circumvent FFP.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

What would even be "the hassle"?

 

[Dire Wolf]

When the Neves sale went through in the summer I said then that this was the plan. It was pretty much open secret conversation among Newcastle fans. The only question was whether it would be an immediate loan or in January. Now we know the answer. I guess the optics would have been far more obviously dodgy had they loaned him in August.

 

[Tony Towner]

What would even be "the hassle"?

The PL and it's larger clubs are already concerned about the longer term threat coming from Saudi. If a player can be loaned or bought at half the price he was sold for a few months later they would absolutely kick off as it makes a complete mockery of FFP. I can take Dire's point that Newcastle don't care, but that move would come with a shitstorm of bad publicity and bad blood, even if no rules have been officially broken.

Remember the buyout in the first place was only signed off because the shitstain of a PM put pressure on the PL to do so.

Yup. Fans on social media would moan about it for about 3 days until the next var fuck up and that's about it

I just don't think anyone would particularly care too much (they should, but they won't), especially as Neves isn't a particularly high profile player.

Good to see that Jackie Gallagher has slimmed down somewhat

On a more serious note;

Ex-Wolves win in record-breaking charity match as hundreds of people cheer teams on

I liked Jackie Gallagher back in the 80s, not sure why but he just seemed like a bit of an underdog though I think he was the Erling Haaland of East Anglian/Forest & Fens football!

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Looking at that Adam Proudock looks in better shape now then when he played

Loved fat Jack back in the day. Looks like he's still worth a million pounds
