Boycie Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 my apologies, I only gave previous posts a quick skim and missed that it was already mentionedtbh, I was hoping they were the same player!

Butros Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Haven't really seen anything of Sako so no idea if he would be a decent signing. However wolves fans are in meltdown over this potential move so that alone would make it worthwhile. Other target mentioned was Antonio but that's a no go as apparently Forrest want 7-8 million.

Cam the Ram Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Quick look on the wolves forum and they generally seem to think he was one of the best players in the championship last seasonHe's a good player in my opinion, better than the wingers you've recently signed. He's big and powerful which should suit the Prem but he can be very greedy, likes to do it all alone quite often and obviously the Prem defenders will be a lot better than the Champ's so he could struggle if he continues like that. Was probably the 4th best winger in the league last season after Ritchie, Antonio and Ince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably the 4th best winger in the league last season after Ritchie, Antonio and Incefrom a WBA point of view regarding the players you've mentioned. Antonio has been a target but Forest are looking for £7-8m add wages into that then Sako is a better value option. Pulis had Ince on loan at palace and has had no interest in him when he was available since then. Ritchie I'm afraid to say I've no idea who he is or who he plays for.

Tombo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Quick look on the wolves forum and they generally seem to think he was one of the best players in the championship last seasonIf you've been looking at wingers like Antonio and Sako, worth mentioning that you're probably after a guy who is all physical traits and little technical ability.Sako is big and powerful and fast, a defender in his way would be brushed aside like they've just been hit by a Japanese Bullet Train. Wouldn't trust him to do a lot with the ball after that though. If you've got players he can find when he's broken through defences, you'll get good use out of him. If he's being relied upon to be the sole creative spark, you might have trouble.That's my honest view. He's quite good but he's got limitations.

Pulis had Ince on loan at palace and has had no interest in him when he was available since then. Ritchie I'm afraid to say I've no idea who he is or who he plays for.Ritchie plays for Bournemouth. Even though Sako is likely to be on a very large amount (Doubt you've met his 60-80k demands but I guess he's on 40k at least), you've probably saved money overall. The likes of Ritchie, Antonio and Jota would have all commanded a huge transfer fee. You probably could have got Ince for £4.75m as I reckon Hull would have rather sold him to a Prem team than a division rival, but as you said, Pulis isn't a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ritchie for that matter. Antonio or Sako would suit his direct style much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I've not watched a lot of West Brom games, but does Pulis still demand his wingers to track back and do the dirty work like he did at Stoke? Because that definitely wouldn't suit Sako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 just checked his stats for last season, 15 goals & 10 assists would suggest he has an end product to his game.I didn't say he didn't have an end product, just like Antonio got a few goals and assists too. I mean you've got to make the pass or the cross easy for him or he won't bother. Like Cam says he can be a bit selfish and to be honest not all that intelligent as a player. He's not going to reach that tally in the Premier League so he might start needing his teammates. He's quite limited but in the Wolves team who were decent passers his direct style worked.
