JJ in reply to someone asking why our DoFs are on the bench

"Scouting"

One could guess that this implies Adama given the opposition

They were on the bench against City also

 

[nailsy]

Am I the only one who thinks it would be pointless going for Adama if we don't also go for Apollo and Starbuck?

 

[mark87]

And yet Tanganga had Sterling in his pocket last Sunday and certainly didn’t have Traore in his pocket today

That's because traore is just too big to put in his pockets.

Just got home from the game, anyone who wouldn’t want him in our side needs their head wobbled.
He causes absolute chaos. Might not get the goals and assists but our other forwards are light years ahead of those at Wolves and the space it would create for them would be unbelievable.
Best thing about him is the “Bums off seat” factor, every time he got the ball it created a real atmosphere. Massive upgrade on Stevie B in my book.

Yeah it’s still a no from me if it’s for £30m + guess I need my head wobbled but I would sell Stevie too and actually get someone who’s clinical at finishing. Tired of us squandering chances all the time in a league which doesn’t offer too many clear cut chances in a game as it is.

I think JJ means they are on the bench every game for scouting, not specifically for Wolves.

They will be on the bench every game.

Jesus, that's going over a LOT of people's heads.

They're on the bench due to Covid bubble rules.

Nah, there was an emoji at the end of the tweet. He defo means Adama (or another Wolves player(s)).

 

[Kalim]

Kane would still be jogging out of midfield.

And Alli hasn't exactly got the turn of foot to be anywhere near him. ?

 

[CockOnBall]

I really like that Paratici and Steve are on the bench. They probably travel with the squad and are at the training. They are the head of the football side of the club and this way they have first hand knowledge of the mood in the dressing room. They probably saw what’s going on with Ndombele and Kane for instance and spoke to levy to remove this ridiculous notion that it’s all on the manager to get the best of this “talented group” which levy keeps deluding himself into thinking it is

Scouting KDB, obviously

Traore is truly shite. I really hope this isn't the calibre of player we're going for now..

Is this the new thing now where if you disagree with someone, you scroll back to something that I write and hit the disagree button for no other reason than to try and level scores?

Traore is not truly shite. He caused us a lot of problems today, he does have weaknesses, his final ball, decision making wouldn't be brilliant. However he was creating a lot of space for other wolves players, he was taking two of our players out of the game when we started doubling up on him. With our attack, with Son, Kane if he stays, that would be vital. Also playing with better calibre attacking players may even improve his game. If he is available at a price that isn't considered too high, I think he would be a good addition to the squad.

Been watching too much wrestling because I thought that was Apollo Crews FFS.

 

[worcestersauce]

It’s not adama or bergwijn BTW they could both play in same team. Why is it a comparison?

Not sure it's necessarily a comparison just that if he comes in there will likely be an out and Bergwijn is the most likely option, we apparently have a party interested and he is apparently ok with that.

 

[Col_M]

Yea.

 

[Pebble Dash]

I would be very happy if we’re to sign Adama… criticise his finishing but for me it was very good save by Lloris. He also ran our defence ragged and should have had an assist when Jimenez wasted a very good chance. The guy makes things happen, we need more like him in our team/squad.

 

[EQP]

Am I the only one who thinks it would be pointless going for Adama if we don't also go for Apollo and Starbuck?

Looking at our squad, we could also do with a number 6 and number 8 ?

I believe they are actually on the bench due to some COVID related club protocol. I’m sure that’s what Ally Gold mentioned the other day.

it absolutely is COVID-related.

which, IMO, makes it even more obvious JJ is implying we are after someone from wolves

 

[Timbar]

All well and good going for Traore to rotate with Lucas, however this team is screaming from the rooftops for another striker and someone who can control a game from midfield….. both far more important than another winger imo.
