He would of definitely still been here if they never took him. We would never of went down but just carried on kicking around lower mid table demoralised.

Very lightly. The King is dead.

A lot better than anyone else we have for that position currently. Unless any of the top 6 were after him or someone abroad his best move would be here by far

Zzz

I don't have time to go round scouting football games but if I had from September up until now to travel Europe and watch matches with a 15m budget I would 100% of came back with a striker better than mitrovic.

There's no way there isn't a far better striker available in Europe that we could get for 15m

I can't see any better option for snodgrass than to come here

I'm seem to remember him coming on at villa and having a half hearted attempt at getting to the ball or making a tackle just before they scored? I just can't see the guy featuring in a Benitez team playing at a high level.

To be fair, if the Moroccan lad was lying i'm sure he'd accuse Shelvey of saying something less niche than 'couscous nonce' He had no idea what was said. It was other wolves players

If it is smelly Arab that he said then just admit to it. Hardly makes him the next Hitler. His flat out refusal to admit it makes me believe he is "innocent". Our large amount of black and mixed race players don't seem to think he is some sort of neo nazi type

I'm with you, don't think he's been great at all. Me too. Too slow, overweight, wont work hard enough. Unless he sheds some pounds and finds some mobility and channelled aggression he won't make it as a premiership player

Pathetic isn't it

Agree with this, I like Snodgrass but signing him would mean we'd have 3 left footed players who's best position is on the right wing and we really need a left winger I would say snodgrass is a better more threatening version of Ritchie though. Or how about play one on the left wing in place of gouffran. Bit of an upgrade. Comes across as a cunt but he would be a great signing and we must be the best option he would have

Spot on

The majority on this board seem happy to do so

He isn't mobile either. Rafa likes his lone striker to be mobile. Gestede is a big unit like mitrovic but lean and mobile with it unlike mitrovic.

??

Gestede looks a lot more mobile and an athlete than mitrovic though

So if he did actually say something along these lines he just used the country he is from as an insult. Is that any different to " smelly jock" " fat Kraut" etc, would them terms have someone up for racial abuse. If someone called me a smelly English whatever I wouldn't take offence because I don't see being English as a negative thing. It could well be the case that saiss was griefing Shelvey and one little comment back about his nationality and the wolves players have gone complaining about it sensing an opportunity to get him banned, that's how it looks, Saiss apparently didn't even know what was said or was offended by it. Nor should he be unless he sees his heritage as a negative thing. All just seems a load of PC gone mad and a small time club like wolves after getting Shelvey banned. Hope we appeal. My last word on the matter

Even a slight mention of anything racial related these days whether it's true or not is jumped all over. I wonder what would have happened if saiss has called Shelvey a "baldy white bastard". Not a 5 game ban I would bet.

Clearly they want to make an example of him despite an apparent lack of proof and very conflicting evidence. Seemingly 3 different players heard him say 3 different things yet not one of them saw fit to challenge him about this at the time. It just doesn't sit right with me. Nor me. You can't tell me the wolves player who went chasing after the ref " ref ref I think he said a nasty name" won't of had in his mind that Shelvey could be banned for a significant period of time. We are appealing it according to the guardian

Knowing how soft the country and the game has gone now it will probably be for something like that Probably... the wet c***. What is your trigger point in these PC dominated times? Lets play a game and see if we can get to your tipping point. I have had the whole forum at me at once and it's still not my tipping point and I always stand by my views
