To be fair if he's decided it was a mistake I don't want him here a second longer than he has to be.
Summer sigings - bomb squad ?
- Thread starter the jock
- Start date
At least there is a market for him, and if we are to get anywhere near what we paid, then its best we look to Inter for a straight swap for Frattesi or to Napoli for their LB, or another player which could balance the value.
Nottingham Forest signing wants to 'correct the decision' - Transfer now seen as a mistake
Dan Ndoye will look to leave Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window and ‘correct the decision’ he made last summer. That’s according to Tuttomercatoweb. The Italian outlet covers the Nottingham Forest winger today and his growing desire to leave the City Ground. Ndoye joined Nottingham...sportwitness.co.uk

Going to be very interesting to see if Pereira goes with 3 at the back and who he picks…
If he goes thre at the back then it will be Mo, Murillo nd Morata. Would be surprised if its not. They already played that formation together so it will not be nothing new.

I like the sound of 3 at the back but I think it fails without a left footed wing back so hoping netz could be the man!!

He certainly has options but a lot depends on how easy the players find it to adapt too.
i agree that Aina could play that role, but i am less worried about Morato in a 3 like that than in a 2 or as LB. with Milo and Murrilo next to him i think he has cover. and he is tall and strong so has assets for that position. Also would just need a decent outlet so he has an obvious pass out.

That always seems one of our main failings all over the pitch to me, the lack of movement & static players mean the player with the ball very often doesn't have any passing options never mind obvious ones, hence the incredibly slow laborious build up. When you're attempting to play out from the back the onus is on team mates to give the player on the ball passing options so they don't get caught on the ball

Won't be sorry to see him go , he's been a disappointment like many others.

I think it was the FF podcast that detailed Pereira's preferred Wolves formation: with the obvious cavaets that they had proper ballers in the team catering to the setup, namely Ait Nouri and Cunha.
Its a 3223 formation...
Essentially, the back 3 are left to their own devices higher up the field, and further from the goalkeeper = loads of pressure!
The front three would comprise any two wingbacks from Aina/Williams/Netz/Ndoye/Bakwa and one of Wood/Jesus/Lucca staying central and high.
These three would essentially sit on the opponents defence and press.
The back and front three being noticeably separated allows the "22" to form a box between defence and attack, with a much larger area of the pitch to work within.
This, in Pereira ball, is where the game is played.
Our box 4 - maybe a diamond if one of Sangare or Anderson sits - controls and creates.
Perhaps it will allow VP to play two 10s and two 8s. Or one 6, one 8 and two 10s....or two 6s, one 8 and a 10: who knows, but loads of options for Vitor!
Either way, this might showcase the real talent of McAtee alongside MGW feeding the front 3.
The wing-back role will be brutal, as they will obviously be required to sit in when we're defending a lead/go 541 and still attack when the opportunity arises.
If Aina does take one of the 3 CB places then the pressure on Williams will be immense: hopfeully the gaffer can get a tune out of Ndoye or Bakwa as wingback cover.
Netz has obviously played that role previously.
Perhaps Cunha to come in from the cold (after being shafted by Dyche) to take one of the centreback berths.
Cracking post !Apollyon chap, you forgot to change the username for this post.
