I've not rated Johnstone TBH but you've gotta feel for the kid. He was bought in at at time when Sa pretty much had his toys outta the pram, all the whispers were suggesting he wanted off to Saudi and so Sam was bought in. He failed to make an impression at a time when we were sooooo bad, he literally had no defence in front of him and so Sa got the recall and after shining in one game (cant remember which) he's been retained. Its a little rough on SJ (whether I rate him or not) as I'm pretty sure he'll have been told he was likey replacing Sa and NOT competing for the jersey as has been trotted out regularly ever since Sa stayed on. As for Lemina, I really wouldn't want to see him moved on at all - he gives us so much. Yes, he's had a lacklustre season for one reason or another (losing his old man may have knocked him about a bit, the captaincy clearly wasn't suited to him ..... he's too emotional but I think we should keep him fr one more season at least.
I always get a bit nervous when the transfer window is open - I don't *quite* have confidence in the board not to do something stupid just because someone drives up with a pantechnicon full of cash. We definitely need the two defenders; less sure about the midfield. Either way, fingers crossed! Always Wolves!
I think the pressure of the armband got to Lamina but he may recover, Johnston felt like a panic buy after Ramsdale didn't happen, hopefully they can get decent money for them and put it into the fund for decent central defenders. 🐺💛🖤
If we did manage to sign those defenders it would be brilliant As for out I think that would not be a bad thing in their cases. But I'd save a massive clear out until the summer as still a lot of games to play and who knows what will happen in that time.
To be honest, Sam johnstone was completely wasted of £10 million. we should have spent £10 million on a centre back, not another goalkeeper in the 2024 summer transfer window. This time, we definitely need to bring in players to improve the squad
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Sa supposed to go to Saudi Arabia in the last window? So the Johnstone transfer made sense in that perspective but other than that it doesn't.
Not surprised about the rumours surrounding Johnstone and Lemina. Sa is marginally better but we do need a competent number 2 which is not Bentley. Better to keep hold of Johnstone until the summer. Not sure about Lemina, he can be great or rubbish. Think it’s more likely he’ll go as his contract runs out in the summer. He’s somewhat a journeyman. Our priority should be two CBs. Nice video Dave.
We will be linked with a lot of players. It's the ones we actually buy that will concern me. A centre Half is a must. We cannot have another one for the future. We need one for now!!!
Thanks for the updates dave yeah CB badly needed only proven one's 🤞lemina don't reakon hes going anywhere as for Johnstone i never feel comfortable when he's in goal he always looks nervous very nervous,,thats me dave always wolves 🙏🐺🐺👌
Dave..thumbs up to your level minded insight as always..as we are top heavy with mid fielders..better one of them out than Lemina..agree with all Wolves fanbase on Johnstone though... comments..
Happy New Year, Dave! Here's to sober decision making by leadership. What's the Lemina backstory right now? Is he clashing with Pereira? He is a very good and industrious player, but he may not be a happy one at the moment.
I wouldn’t mind Danso coming in he looks solid and a good leader brilliant in the euros aswell don’t like the look of tanganga though also unsure about how I would feel if lemina leaves
We Def need two cb's who are aggressive in attacking the ball from set pieces not reactive where we have been found out. We are ok in midfield and forward positions. Sort the back line out NOW and everything else will come together. 🤞
To be fair Lemina was maybe our best player last year over the whole season. I think patience with his deal would be wise. Johnstone never impressed with his feet or his goal-stopping to be fair. Would be great to recoup but unlikely.
Dave no to selling Mario,he is a vital cog a warrior who fights but does it not annoy you,knowing the fight Vitor and the team are giving is never matched by a board,who know the urgency of defensive issues,sell the fringe players,who we don't play,raise some cash.
Defenders sound okay but it would be a shame to see Mario leave, having said that not the end of the world. Can't blame Johnstone if he wants out, like all players he wants to play so good luck to him. Personally I wish they would sell Sarabia and Bellegarde as neither of them have been up to scratch and Sarabia gets massive wages! COYW!
Dave I think k we defo need two cb. I’d keep lemina he been brilliant for us first 18 months. I’d sell Sam Johnstone.whats your thoughts on us being linked with Diego Carlos ??
That was a waste of money that 10 million could have gone on a defender if Mario limmea does leave we got a noth midfielders that's one area where we don't need to buy all we need his 2 CBs and a striker
We should get back our former fan favourites Adama Traore and Troy Deeney 😁. Also man utd and city will definitely be banging on the door for Cunha. We couldn't trade him for Antony + 50 million pounds
I believe we need 2 centre backs and a reliable goalkeeper. Sa appears to have improved since GON left. Thanks for update Dave. All the best for 2025.
I fully agree Dawson getting a bit long in the tooth . Any injury will take longer to recover from now
yep and thanks same to you
Cheers for the update Dave …..keep us updated
so welcome

Dave always wolves is brilliant
thanks

Ty for the update
so welcome

i think you are right
Keep Lemina.
ok
If we did manage to sign those defenders it would be brilliant
As for out I think that would not be a bad thing in their cases. But I'd save a massive clear out until the summer as still a lot of games to play and who knows what will happen in that time.
you never want a massive clear our you want evolution

I agree with you why buy a goalkeeper instead of a CB that's oneal for you
@andrewharrison7912 yeah it is on gary o'neil because he just left a lot of signings on the beach and never given them much game time
More like 50 mil on a center back to replace the one we lost!
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Sa supposed to go to Saudi Arabia in the last window? So the Johnstone transfer made sense in that perspective but other than that it doesn't.
@NantucketArms yeah that's right you have it spot on
Good work Dave
thank you

thanks
I agree two defenders yessss
:)
Don't sell lemina hes so good.
Fr
lets see
Why we haven’t gone to get Elvedi beats me. If available for €10m or so would be a good acquisition. Get in before Leeds do……🙈
maybe we will
We will be linked with a lot of players. It's the ones we actually buy that will concern me. A centre Half is a must. We cannot have another one for the future. We need one for now!!!
thats right and i think they all will be
Thanks for the updates dave yeah CB badly needed only proven one's 🤞lemina don't reakon hes going anywhere as for Johnstone i never feel comfortable when he's in goal he always looks nervous very nervous,,thats me dave always wolves 🙏🐺🐺👌
We shall see
Dave..thumbs up to your level minded insight as always..as we are top heavy with mid fielders..better one of them out than Lemina..agree with all Wolves fanbase on Johnstone though... comments..
thanks you
Happy New Year, Dave! Here's to sober decision making by leadership. What's the Lemina backstory right now? Is he clashing with Pereira? He is a very good and industrious player, but he may not be a happy one at the moment.
nothing to do with clashing with VP its just being reported his contract is apprently out in summer
I wouldn’t mind Danso coming in he looks solid and a good leader brilliant in the euros aswell don’t like the look of tanganga though also unsure about how I would feel if lemina leaves
lets see
We Def need two cb's who are aggressive in attacking the ball from set pieces not reactive where we have been found out. We are ok in midfield and forward positions. Sort the back line out NOW and everything else will come together. 🤞
we need pace to
Keep Lemina if he wants to stay
it wont be if he wants to say it be if they want to sell with his contact running out
To be fair Lemina was maybe our best player last year over the whole season. I think patience with his deal would be wise. Johnstone never impressed with his feet or his goal-stopping to be fair. Would be great to recoup but unlikely.
lets see
Definitely need a good sriker who can finish the goal off
we aint struggling scoring gaols are we
Dave no to selling Mario,he is a vital cog a warrior who fights but does it not annoy you,knowing the fight Vitor and the team are giving is never matched by a board,who know the urgency of defensive issues,sell the fringe players,who we don't play,raise some cash.
lets see Mario's contract is running out
Here’s a wish why don’t we try getting jota back
like hes gonna leave liverpool
I believe Tanganga used to play for Spurs and really struggled at white Hart Lane
centre backs get better with age and experience
Shouldn't sell Lemina I'm sure he would be great under Pereira who'd get the best out of him
lets see
Defenders sound okay but it would be a shame to see Mario leave, having said that not the end of the world. Can't blame Johnstone if he wants out, like all players he wants to play so good luck to him. Personally I wish they would sell Sarabia and Bellegarde as neither of them have been up to scratch and Sarabia gets massive wages! COYW!
lets see
Danso and Elvedi and 1 more cf
yep
Wolves do need another 2 centre half's
yep
Supposed to be this supposed to be that…. Ooh dazzled what a transfer window it will be …. Again
as usual
Dave I think k we defo need two cb. I’d keep lemina he been brilliant for us first 18 months. I’d sell Sam Johnstone.whats your thoughts on us being linked with Diego Carlos ??
lets see
Wasn’t Tanganga the one who Raul put on his backside to score the winner against Spurs a couple of years ago?
spot on , Spurs fans didnt like him at all could it work at Wolves?
maybe
Main priority is to buy n strengthen our defence.... Can we just purchase CBs & not sell any players? Hope the mgmt makes the right decision this time
yep
Selling lemina would be a big mistske
depends if hes out of contract in summer and who comes in
@AlwaysWolves true
That was a waste of money that 10 million could have gone on a defender if Mario limmea does leave we got a noth midfielders that's one area where we don't need to buy all we need his 2 CBs and a striker
Andrew Harrison,totally agree 100%
indeed
We should get back our former fan favourites Adama Traore and Troy Deeney 😁. Also man utd and city will definitely be banging on the door for Cunha. We couldn't trade him for Antony + 50 million pounds
we aint selling Cunha
Keep mario lemina and his ford cortina!
lol
No please keep mario lemina he needs to stay
ok
I dont rate traore in midfield
Never impressed me either TBH
ok
Tanganga😂😂😂😂😂 not a Premiership player..If he was any good Spurs would have kept him..They let him go for nothing instead last summer
