Sell, Loan or Keep? - Wolves Squad 23/24: Midfielders

[@davidoconnor6949]

Keep Boubacar Traore 100% he’s great rotation option/ very underrated on the ball he’s still very raw but you can see it and adds quality depth and the successor to Gomes when we hopefully sell him for big money next season.

[@jackmullin8962]

Deffo a keep and play player for us next season and too improve was only 10 mill for him. He's young.

[@Shawn_Crowe]

Definitely a keep. Are we forgetting we faded bc we didn’t have enough depth? He is a great player to bring in to close out a game. Use the money from Neto to add your different profile

[@masonpierce3086]

The fact no one mentions Cunha as one of our most valuable players blows my mind. We paid 50 mil for an elite level youngster for a reason. He's the only one that could hit 100 mil with a good season.

[@jackmullin8962]

Cunha I thought was bought for around 40mill but now worth 50mill in value. Its gone up anyway since his move from athletico madrid. Really rate him now and he's not greedy. Can see someone coming in for him this summer.

[@masonpierce3086]

Cundle is about to be the next Vitinha. Different players but at similar ages and stages of develop, him and Traore, and I rather keep him instead of Traore as a midfield option. But also as a rotation for Doyle or just another loan and then bring him back. If Chirewa's been given chances, Cundle at least deserves a chance.

[@jackmullin8962]

Yeah why not keep him he's had some decent loan spells an experience. He's a good option but if they start playing him and he get prem minutes / experience his value should start to rise significantly and we could sell him on for more money next season?

[@dylanwolf]

I'd say that continuity in our midfield, more than any other area, is the key to success in next season's campaign. Lemina and Gomes are essential keeps and I'd also say that so is Boubacar Traore, he'll be needed as both the former two will pick up suspensions from yellow cards and will also need to be periodically rested. Hopefully Mario's form will have recovered from losing his father. Doyle will also be a key player for us, and although I don't think we've found his best role yet his potential is very evident. I love his enthusiasm and drive. With five at the back, we can really only afford to play two central midfielders, but we need to be able to rotate or we'll suffer from fatigue and staleness issues and I would like us to make another senior signing, something which would be critical if Joao is sold. It would be good to have Chirewa stick around, rather than go out on loan, he's been lively when he's played, but neither Hodge, nor Cundle are likely to be breaking into first team contention and it is time to wish them well and let them move on. Bellegarde may well settle well into a wide position next season having now had some experience of Premier football. Sarabia is a tough one to call. I tend to over-rate him because I think he is a class player, the sort of craftsman I prefer, but I have to admit that he's not all that suited to the Premier League physicality, his lack of pace makes him a bit predictable for opponents to counter and he doesn't appear to work all that hard when we are not in possession. It's surprising to realise he's one of our top wage earners. I shall be sad if we sell him, but like the both of you, I'll not be surprised. dylanwolf in the billyq.

[@alfiepascall7998]

Can’t be selling Bouba imo. Agree with Dave, keep him as a very good squad player and then in a few years have him as a first teamer over an ageing Lemina

[@echolimavictor4442]

Agree with you and Dave. If Wolves want squad depth next season then it would be pointless selling him. Natural replacement for Gomes / Lamina if they are injured/ suspended. Bouba is still young also!

[@jackmullin8962]

Nah don't loan or sell him I want him fit and build his confidence up, he's had some great cameos for us from the bench. He wins tackles and good in possession? Years to improve.

[@masonpierce3086]

I want to see Bellegarde become the Semedo successor. He's a very strong midfielder but lacks the grace, and at Strasbourg he played a lot on the wings. I think he could make a great wingback.

[@jackmullin8962]

Good point can he defend though? Deffo worth experimenting him at WB this pre season in a few games could be decent option there. I think it's time to cash in on semedo before he drops below 12mill in value. Let's get some money back from here to reinvest.

[@masonpierce3086]

Boubacar Traore really needs a loan. We need to get some experience behind Gomes. My personal opinion is that Traore was a panic buy by Lage and he's more suit to the Championship and his ceiling will always be a squad player. I wouldnt loan to sell and I wouldnt sell, but I would loan him so we can upgrade the team and when we eventually sell Gomes, we can bring him back in.

[@jackmullin8962]

He's a very strong fast decent player when he's got his fitness up and has few games under his belt. We spend £10+ mill on him so we shouldn't be loaning him out, he should be a bench option or bring on someone who can tackle and win us the ball back. I like him seems a waste too loan out. If they gonna loan him they may as well sell him on and reinvest the money. Same with the others geudes, podence, silva, sasa.

[@ChrisGibson-ie2rt]

Following today’s news lads about season ticket prices, they can sell who they like. Really disappointed with an 18% rise and how they feel they can justify the rise. Not for me and my son any more, but I guess it’s fans like me and many who have followed Wolves for over 40 years who they don’t really want to attend. Good luck for the future lads and keep up the good work. Wolves ay we.

[@jackmullin8962]

Yeah it's a shame pricing people out and they way they went about the rises. I cancelled mine 2 years back wasn't happy with VAR and the match day experience. Some facilities need serious investment / refurbishment. Some stands are not adequate anymore in the concourses. Also couldn't stand that lack of player investment and the sideways and back tippy tappy football, 1-0s and 2-1s if lucky. Not my cup of tea overall so cancelled mine. Not sure why they rising prices as they aren't really using the extra money to develop the stadium? Or bring in players to help us finish above 14th?

[@richardbarnhurst5789]

Reading MR Jeff letter I think the club is up for sale?

[@sandhurstwolves3956]

B Traore could be a cult hero given another season need to keep

[@jamesloverso9365]

I would keep or loan Traore. I think he has a lot of raw talent and we would seriously regret getting rid. In my opinion, I think Lemina only has 1 full season with us at this level. Then I would look at resting him more for traore and break him into the squad. I am leaning more on keeping for depth. However, if he wants to play then I would be keen for a season loan.

[@MarkMay-n2d]

wasn't it Ian Nacho you were going to have a tattoo of?

[@Wolfman57]

All these can go , Sarabia Toti Semedo Neto Bellaguard Killman !!!

[@ahn2908]

toti is our best cb, neto is our best player we are lowkey ass without him but everything else is valid

[@warrenwilliams2134]

You ok hun?

[@jackmullin8962]

Podence, guedes, silva, sa, semedo, sarabia (crazy wages) kilman would sell for big money else keep.

[@jackmullin8962]

​@@ahn2908yeah don't sell toti his value has rocketed up to 18mill ish since he has had his first few Portugal national side appearances his value has gone up and will continue too if he plays well next season. He's only going to learn and get better, stronger.

[@d.o.c.t.o.r.c.r.o.w]

Lemina cost €11m not £5m! 😂

[@andrewbrownhil2430]

Fosun must go

[@mattbritnell3418]

So harsh on Bouba.

[@micheal197012]

Yeah skip the season ticket.
