Potential and ability is there, still could see a big second season improvement happening. I agree. He has more potential than any other winger we have. He is a centre forward played out of position. Posters will say he looked shite as a CF, true, but in limited time and that is where he belongs. My beef with Clement is he plays players out of position, Silva, Sterling, Lawrence, Dowell...

Where would you play those 4 players then? I've seen nothing to suggest 3 of them would be any use no matter where they were played. Sterling has had to be used as a utility player due to injuries and poor form of others in the squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Godfather 72,338 Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 His wages will be massive and he's hardly kicked a ball since the Europa ended. Not to mention the fee involved. Huge no and another failed loan on big money. We need to be more savy with these deals. graeme_4, JCDBigBear, Dan Deacon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling’s filling in for injuries, and his best performances have been ‘out of position. Dowell is a central midfielder playing in central midfielder.

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 54,161 Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 Can’t believe there’s anybody who would want us to keep Silva tbh. We’ve had our fill of players who we hope can go on to show their best form next season and we need to get away from them. Completely flattered to deceive, would be too expensive to sign permanently and hasn’t shown enough to justify another attempt to loan. A body who beefed the squad out, at a time when we were really short on numbers, but a player who will be largely forgotten about and fall into the “mind him?” category in four or five years time.

January loans are generally pretty pish for us. The ratio of them actually working out must be about 1 in 5 or something. And thats going way back. Suppose theyre worth doing in the hope they do work. Youre often getting a player you wouldnt normally be able to afford. In this case though i dont believe Silva has shown he would be worth the outlay in wages. He has ability but hasnt shown anything like enough. I cannot get my head round what Wolves actually paid for this boy. Sums up perfectly the financial insanity of the EPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascadeshrimp 1,469 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Silva brings nothing to us tbh Would love to see the wing positions filled with Sima and Cortez on permanent deals with Matondo and either Mcausland or Armstrong (from killie) as back ups Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be going into next season relying on McAusland or Matondo in any form. Certainly Cortez. In the very limited time we saw him he looked far better than our other wide options. Would try for a season long loan with option to buy. And Armstrong would also be a step up from what we have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who scores, creates and works hard for the team and would cost a couple of million max and be on a relatively small wage over the guy whop doesn't score, doesn't assist, has a questionable attitude and would cost a large transfer fee and huge wages is a ridiculous shout. .Williamson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,338 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 36 minutes ago, Laudrupsleftfoot said: Armstrong over Silva is wild. Armstrong is comfortable a more effective player in this league. Silva is a luxury who doesn't look to be arsed with actually putting graft in. Scottish football is a dog fight and his type tend to do poor as he has done. Armstrong would comfortable be an upgrade on our wingers at present. The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,688 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Armstrong has an aggression to his play that I like. Has quality and is up for a battle/wind up which we sorely lack, not sure at 26 how much better he'll get? But he's currently better than most of our options in that position.

psb07158 33,516 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Silva chucked it when we went out of Europe. Hugely questionable attitude Unless we could get another loan for free where Wolves are paying most/all of his wages, it's a no from me. Killie were touting Armstrong for £2m in January because he only had 18 months left on his deal and they know they'll have to sell for a lot less this summer with 12 months left on his deal. Could probably get him for £1-1.5m. KyleBJK and Sparkle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
