Welcome to Wolves Sasa Kalajdzic

[Tredman]

Video of his ‘skills’ on sky sports website. I know you can polish a turd with a highlights video, but the clips on there are promising. Some great finishes as well as link up play. Doesn’t appear a 6ft 7 ‘let’s just lump it into
The box for him’ type

Looks like he'd link well with Giles from that video

He's really not.

If we hoof it at him he will look shit (as would anyone who is not Niall Quinn or Duncan Ferguson from 25 years ago) and given that we have very few good crossers of the ball currently at the club, that probably isn't the primary way to go either.

If you are hopeful that we aren't going to just hoof it at him then don't listen to our glorious leader here

Yep, as far as highlight videos go though, looks positive.

Nice to sign someone with a decent scoring record as well

May mean that Ait Nouri actually starts delivering the ball early though. It was a big positive of his play for Angers, he got here and then stopped. Presumably as he'd been told not to.

Would really see RAN come into his own like a left sided TAA.

If we could get Semedo crossing too it would give us what we need.

Because he asks him how often he’s told he’s taller than he looks?

Or that's he's rarely getting opportunity to do so at Wolves because the approach play is so slow. Even if he delivered first time, every single time he received the ball, he'd still be lamping it hopelessly into a crowded box more often than he'd be able to hit a space you'd expect someone to be attacking.

If hoofing was our main priority, we should have just paid the similar fee that Strasbourg were after for Ludovic Ajorque, having seen first hand of his ability of having that last weekend. Though, that does depend on having the players who are good crossers of the ball (and if you're the Strasbourg manager, keeping them on the pitch!).

Most of the time this is a big part of it but there's plenty of times he's travelling with the ball and cuts back when he really should be playing the ball into that space behind the defence.

Welcome Sasa, I'm sure you'll do fine for us, please stay fit

We won't be. His height is a nice bonus but that isn't how he plays. If Lage can't twig that he will be gone very quickly anyway.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We didn't have anyone suited to the ball being hoofed forward aimlessly for 45 minutes on Sunday but we still did it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That second half was a riot of fun wasn't it?

We are putting together a very very good squad here. Just need to bin the conductor.

What is your stance of Lage, DW? You always seem sat on the fence with him

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm not allowed to judge him until 2025, it's not fair otherwise apparently.

Who said that?

Hasn't got a world class centre forward yet. Once we sign Haaland or Kane then we can judge him.

 

[Mel Evo]

Come on mate, it could be earlier than that. If the entire squad complete a Myers Briggs personality test from a 1990s team building session, allow their painful shortcomings to dawn on them, commit to ‘do better’ and then show the manager the respect they have scandalously failed to do thus far, just like all those other footballer players do… then, but only then, can we contemplate he might be a complete sack of shit.

Welcome Sasa. Good luck
