Jørgen Strand Larsen- Player travelling for medical at Crystal Palace

[Carrick Dave]

I seem to remember a number of posts when we played Wolves saying they were relieved JSL wasn't starting...

I was certainly glad, don't know if I posted it or not - but I wasn't £40m glad.

[Johnthewhite]

Is that not his job ?

Part of his job yes, and I agree he needs to improve his figures when it comes to assists and goals ( time will tell on this front).
But there is more to a good offensive player, like getting the ball up the pitch, giving the opposition something to deal with, therefore not being camped in our half like Everton were on Monday night.

Think that was likely based on those posters looking at what JSL had done last season and thinking he would improve a struggling Wolves side. However since making his comeback against us he has done very little this season to improve Wolves.

As a signing you're both happy with him then ?

Oops

[Pullhard]

JSL or spend on a new keeper.
I would take the latter

[Musicman1965]

After todays performance I think it might be a good idea to strengthen other areas before lashing out 40 mill + on a striker.

Apparently his agent was again at the game, the impression he gave was JSL will remain a Wolves player.

Season ticket holder isn’t he (or have I dreamt that).

Anyway, you have to attend 80% of games to get the right to renew so ST holders very rarely miss games.

Edit this has now been accepted, he's off to Palace for a medical.

This is done

If we have that kind of money to spend, it should be on 2/3 players, not a striker with one goal.

[The Subhuman]

Fingers crossed he doesn't bang in 7-10 for Palace then.... If West Ham get a defender that would be a bit worrying too.

Sadly, I'm expecting no signings.

[1964white]

We are obviously stretched in certain positions, our board have a different opinion.

Our fans will just have to accept the situation.

Yes, we cannot upset the Yanks
Boils my blood that one, I wonder what they thought yesterday when a good few hundred walked out on about 75 minutes
Would never do that myself, but it does make you wonder about the wisdom of all the big plans to expand the stadium to 55k.
If we're not constantly in the top ten of the Premier League who's going to fill it.

The hoards of Leeds fans who don't live in Leeds and have no access to tickets at present.

It's only the third time ER has been full to capacity this season.

Only the hardened supporters remain to applaud our players off the pitch after the game.

I know someone that did but she struggles when the crowd leaves so she'll either sit in the stadium till it's emptied enough or leave early. considering the game was done and dusted seems prudent she left early

The same hoards that stayed away before Bielsa ?
Sorry but I fail to see these fans forking out for a season ticket without any chance of some glory. Not having a go at anyone BTW, just that I see this as fact

Can understand in such circumstances and she has my sympathy and utmost respect for her continued loyal support. I visit ER each game with my wife who is disabled and struggles with balance/walking so waiting until the ground is almost empty suits us too.
I was referring to the younger ones who come in tanked up and refuse all requests from the stewards to sit down during the game, then block the view of the fans that cannot stand for 90 minutes for whatever reason. I witnessed many of these leaving yesterday after around 75 minutes, at least we got to sit down
