useless Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not sure why people are talking as if he's been a Wolves bench player, he's made thirty plus Premier League appearances for them in each of the last three seasons, he's started four of their five games this season, he's pretty much been a regular for them, that's a regular in a team who have been finishing in a position where we're trying to get to, he's also got thirty plus caps for Belgium which at them moment can't be an easy feat. Anyone who's taken any notice of Wolves transfer activity over recent windows will know that they don't just sell players that can't get in their team, but will pretty much sell anyone, they have a buy to sell policy, if someone bid the right amount for Neves or Neto they would sell them. As for whether we need him now I would have thought not, as we have Kamara as first choice DM, Luiz can play there, as can Nakamba, and we have Iroegbunam coming through, but all that said, maybe we don't see Luiz as a DM, he's better than Nakamba, Iroegbunam still young might go out on loan, and Dendoncker might also be being brought in as fourth choice defender. It's not an exciting transfer by any stretch of the imagination, but also not a bad player at all and nowhere near as bad as some of the reactions in here would suggest.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Always thought he was quality and Wolves haven't utilized him properly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm not particularly a fan of dendonker, but his aggression, workrate, and bite in the tackle.8s something we lack. Him alongside either Kamara or Luiz would be complimentary. But the midfield would need a passer that's also a goalscorer. My preferred 3 would still be Kamara, Luiz, and Ramsey. However Dendonker and McGinn to come in would be decent. BBC are saying we are refusing to sell. Luiz. I bloody hope so as him and Kamara together has shown a bit of potential. Dendonker is a nasty, hard, bastard of a player, which we lack. Not disappointed by him at all. Underwhelmed for sure, not the class of player I was hoping for, but a solid combative option, which will help us. Hoping we revive the Sarr deal, Moura is too old and inconsistent.

Indigo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think as a player he's fine but I don't really see where he fits in unless we play a 4-2-3-1 or a 3 at the back, neither of which I'm too sure will happen. He has qualities in terms of physicality, versatility etc that will add nicely to the squad but we have more glaring issues in the starting XI that he doesn't solve, so unless we also get one or two more in to sort that this one is leaving me quite cold for the moment.

kevpants Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I have no problem with this signing as he seems like he's a hardy kind of a lad. There have been enough soft centred pushovers in Villa squads in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If this is a upgrade on Nakamba fine. If it is straight swap for Luiz maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The right side of that graph is pretty damning. If he plays he won't aid our playing out from the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 He's been a proven decent midfielder at this level. Not sure I see how our midfield is going to contain him and McGinn without meaning that Luiz never plays and Sanson never even sees the bench. It's not going to be revolutionary, I'd rather see a change in the coaching to get the best of what we've got. He's 27 so these are his peak years, he'll have to be very good to get on some sell on value when he's 31... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can't say I'm particularly overwhelmed by this one, but it's probably the best we can do. Especially if we're looking at a relegation fight with him in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
