Get rid of all of them.

Get rid of Mateta [ never a pram player ] and Ayew

Pram player? Is that a bit like Polo?

Seriously I think Mateta will come good and score goals. My choice would be another Dacoure type midfielder. Having watched him at close quarters at QPR yesterday, he is a star in the making

I agree with you on Mateta. He scored 7 goals after C'mas once he became a regular starter. In my opinion he could get 12-15 given a whole season.

I didn't see much to impress me with Dacoure yesterday at QPR but it was a friendly so i reserve judgement til I've seen him a few times in Prem League.

I’m being told that their is a strong chance that Benteke could be going to Wolves for around £10m & could be announced on Tuesday.

Mateta doesn't look very elegant,he is like a spider all arms and legs but he seems very hard to mark and does a job.

Paying wolves 10mil to take him sounds like our best move yet in this transfer window

Behave. Crouch was an England international and 10 times the player Mateta will ever be.

I think Lanzo meant similar style ,not achievement level.

As long as it’s performance based

I can't really see why Wolves would want Benteke. I guess at 10 million it is worth the off chance that he finds form again or at worst is a decent player to have on the bench

 
PatrickA Flag London 26 Jul 22 3.07pm

Wolves have let a promising centre forward, Silva , who they spent a lot of money on go on loan so it's likely they are looking for a replacement at least for the new season.
It's been widely reported that they've made an enquiry for Benteke and this is understandable as they only have Jiminez as a centre forward option and he has yet to recover his form after his head injury.
This doesn't mean Benteke will go.
He seems settled in London, has shown no inclination to want out and then there is the question of fee and wages.
If he still has ambitions to play for Belgium and knows he's way down the pecking order under Vieira, I suppose this could make him reassess his options in search of more regular football.

Whilst I would agree this seems like the reasoning behind the transfer (if the rumours are true) I still can't help but feel there has to better options for Wolves. Whether that's taking a risk on someone in the championship or going for someone on loan. I wonder whether this could be more made up to try and drum up some interest in Benteke. Either by the club or by Benteke/his agent

Despite their 10th place finish, only the 3 relegated clubs scored fewer goals than Wolves last season. That may be a reason.

Benteke gets a lot of criticism but I maintain that in the right team that is serving him crosses he's a potent striker who will score goals.

That's his main strength and If I was managing a team principally looking to be about crossing into the penalty box I would certainly be looking at getting Benteke.

I agree with you completely but my understanding is that that isn't how Wolves do or intend to play either. As far as their transfer policies have seemed to be, I think this seems incredibly out of place as well
