Sanderson, Hoever and Cundle were all at training today. So none of them are going anywhere imminently.

Makes sense until the new players come in

Unless Lop is planning on using cardboard cutouts in training, he’ll need all the bodies he can get for the next few weeks.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm taking Cardboard Man over Hoever, thanks.

There was a joke in there about them being the same person but you missed the open goal.

 

[Kenny]

you missed the open goal.

100% Wolves

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sa not at training?

 

[Kenny]

He is standing a few yards away from that pic. Tried to find his teammates but failed...

 

[Tredman]

If he's metaphorically not in the picture I hope we have someone lined up ASAP, that selection is the definition of meh

 

[Lycan]

I mean he could potentially be absent for other reasons (could've picked up an injury with the national team etc) but even still it's weird that they've taken that group pick without him.

Also, usually Deutsch would scoff at using training ground footage as a source for transfer/team selection speculation. Shows you how desperate he is for Sá to go that he's stooped so low...

Desperation makes you do things!

 

[Jack Regan]

He probably has extra time off due to the internationals at the seasons end I expect.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Probably, I haven't seen Semedo on any pictures either thinking about it.

I wonder if Bolla and/or (less likely) Kawabe will be involved in first team training at some point. Again both were playing internationals into June.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m hoping Bolla now qualifies for a permit as I have hopes he might make it with us.

Having never, ever seen him play i'm convinced he's championship level at best

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I go on the opinions of those in Hungarian football who called it a very shrewd signing at the time and felt he had a lot of potential. I’m hoping that might bear fruit but who knows in reality?

I did say hope rather than expectation!

Could've said the same about Toti.

 

[SSB]

He’s just got married. Probably been given extra time off for a honeymoon!

 

[AndyWolves]

Could've said the same about Toti.

I watched toti play a few times and didn't think he was anywhere near PL level, shows what i know!
