Wolves faced Manchester United for the third time in just a month on Saturday evening as Nuno Santo’s side continued their poor run of form in the Premier League.

Although a 0-0 stalemate is a relatively decent return against a side like the Red Devils, it is now just one win in their last six outings.

The spotlight was mainly on the home side as their marquee winter signing, Bruno Fernandes, as he made his debut following a £47m switch from Sporting Lisbon last week.

Following the match, Wolves supporters were left debating how much their Portuguese midfielder was worth in Ruben Neves.

Here are some of their valuations…

Several fans were of the opinion that the 22-year-old was “priceless,” presumably meaning that they wouldn’t sell him for any fee offered whilst other shouts ranged from £65m to as high as £200m.

Currently, according to Transfermarkt, Neves is valued at £45m – some £30m more than what the west Midlanders reportedly paid for him back in the summer of 2017, per ESPN.

As these comments came following their draw at Old Trafford, other members of the Molineux faithful used it as an opportunity to compare the midfielder to his opposition…

One supporter claimed he is a better player than Paul Pogba while another added that he would be worth £80m as he’s much better than Fernandes.

Per SofaScore, Neves picked up a higher rating (7.7) than his national counterpart (6.8) and also recorded a better passing success rate (82%) and substantially kept hold of possession more with Fernandes losing the ball 23 times compared to the Wolves man’s nine.

Pogba was not involved due to injury.

Although, not everyone was waxing lyrical about Neves…

“Inconsistent” was one word used to describe the 22-year-old with a further member of the travelling support suggesting that he would need to add more goals to his locker in order to be worth upwards of £100m.

What could’ve been… Can you name the clubs these football legends almost joined?

While in other news, this midfield maestro continues to prove he is Nuno’s lynchpin…

It is safe to say that game time has been hard to come by for Vakoun Bayo this season, as before the Scottish FA Cup tie against Clyde, he had made two starts and 11 substitute appearances in all competitions.

Therefore, he will have been keen to make his mark when coming on for Patryk Klimala with a quarter of an hour left on the clock.

He did exactly that, scoring the Bhoys’ third in a 3-0 win, but fans were still split in their thoughts about his performance.

Some fans were very pleased with the 23-year-old, specifically due to the fact that he had been able to get his name on the scoresheet, with one fan stating “that’s how you do it”.

There were also comparisons made with Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths following the movement that earned him the chance.

Only real Celtic fans will get 100% on the Ultimate Hoops quiz. Test your knowledge below…

That may be a bit premature, but there is a chance he may have got himself ahead of Patryk Klimala in the pecking order – or at least put himself in the forefront of manager Neil Lennon’s mind – having been the only one out of the pair to score.

However, not everyone was so impressed by him, with one fan suggesting that “he doesn’t cut it”, while another called him “absolute rubbish”.

There were even comparisons with various players who have flopped in the green and white hoops, indicating they may be giving up on him already.

In fairness, he has only contributed to goals in one other Celtic game, when he got a goal and assist against Partick Thistle.

Meanwhile, Celtic fans were swooning over one man ahead of the game.

The 2-0 loss against Manchester City was just Ryan Fredericks’ second match back from a four-game injury, but the West Ham United right-back was forced off again.

It seemed fairly innocuous at first, but the 27-year-old’s collision with Rodri led to him being forced off with a shoulder injury, visibly in agony when he was on the floor.

ExWHUemployee has given a discouraging update on Fredericks’ situation when speaking about the scan that took place after, as he said: “Apparently the results of that do not look too good and he could be out a while.”

This will feel like a setback for the club, especially as Fredericks is their main right-back, having played 20 times throughout the current campaign.

Pablo Zabaleta was the man to replace him, something that’s a pretty concerning sign. He struggled significantly against Allan Saint-Maximin – the Frenchman made five dribbles when the pair met.

However, this could all mean that there is an exciting development for 19-year-old Jeremy Ngakia as he aims to get further first-team opportunities after making his debut against Liverpool.

The academy graduate gave a good account of himself during that game – especially when it’s considered that he was directly up against Andrew Robertson and Divock Origi. The teenager completed both of his attempted dribbles and was successful in all three of his tackle attempts.

He also continued that positive form against Stoke City U23s when the Hammers’ youngsters played at London Stadium, standing out alongside Bernardo Rosa.

Did he really play for us?! No West Ham fan has managed to name all of these obscure Irons signings….

The youngster showed quality and imagination with his passing, while also displaying his technical ability and confidence to produce pieces of skill when he had the ball at his feet.

He was a tireless worker who got up and down the pitch to make an impact in both halves, which paid dividends in the second half. His pressing was a vital part of West Ham regaining the ball back near the Stoke box, which led to Sean Adarkwa’s goal in the 2-2 draw.

Without the injury to Fredericks, it would seem fairly unrealistic to suggest that Ngakia could get more first-team starts this campaign, especially so due to the club’s current predicament. However, it now seems like it may now be a possibility for the teenager.

Meanwhile, fans’ fury shows GSB have made a real blunder.

Tottenham Hotspur may not have won at the weekend, but they have just received one up on their north London rivals after it was announced that boxer Anthony Joshua’s next bout will be held at Spurs’ ground.

The Sun have revealed that the Englishman will fight Kubrat Pulev for his world titles on July 20th at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite a late bid from Arsenal to hold the battle at the Emirates.

Spurs were beaten by Chelsea in Saturday’s early kickoff, and it is clear to see that some are still reeling as they have chosen to unleash at the board as well as the chairman in reaction to this latest news.

Here’s what has been said…

One supporter was far from pleased with the news, claiming that Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy were probably dancing on a yacht whilst another believes the money they’ll receive from hosting such an event will not be reinvested in the playing squad.

Plenty of others offered up sarcastic responses as they see it as ENIC lining their pockets rather than benefitting the club as a whole.

A big issue that has been highlighted in recent weeks is their failure to secure a striker following the injury suffered to Harry Kane as Heung-min Son has since joined him on the treatment table, thus leaving manager Jose Mourinho without an out-and-out senior forward.

Which has led to some fans wondering if they could now buy one ahead of the summer transfer window and even if Joshua could play upfront for them…

Several more members of the Spurs fanbase were past the point of caring with one joking that they had finally won something as their last piece of silverware came in the 2007/08 season with the League Cup.

No clues whatsoever: Which seasons do these iconic Spurs images belong to?

West Brom are in a very healthy position as they embark on the Championship title run-in but now have their nearest challengers breathing down their neck.

Tonight they take a break from this with Newcastle United in town for the FA Cup fifth round and ahead of the match The Athletic’s Steve Madeley offered a Q&A where he spoke about the future of rising star Nathan Ferguson.

What’s he said?

The Baggies suffered their first defeat in seven matches on Saturday as Wigan Athletic clinched all three points, which meant Leeds were only one point behind them in second place.

Although both sides still occupy a substantial advantage over the playoffs.

Ferguson, who hasn’t featured since a loss to Cardiff in January, was on the verge of leaving for Crystal Palace last month before complications with his medical arose.

The deal fell through and he’s been left to see his contract out at the Hawthorns but Madeley cannot see him donning the navy and white stripes ever again. He said:

Mere formality

The 19-year-old has played 21 times for West Brom in the Championship, where his performances attracted interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

But it was the Eagles that looked set to land him for £11m (add-ons included) before Deadline Day but the versatile defender has now had surgery to resolve the surprise knee issue.

The Palace chairman, Steve Parish, has since revealed his confidence of clinching the youngster this summer in an interview on their official club website.

Therefore, it seems highly likely that Madeley is right – we won’t see the Albion academy graduate feature ever again. It is surely a mere formality that he joins the Premier League outfit for compensation alone, meaning Slaven Bilic has missed out on a potential eight-figure fee to boost his coffers.

Lee Peltier was signed to replace him in January, and the Croatian is also able to call upon Dara O’Shea and Darnell Furlong at right-back with Kieran Gibbs and Conor Townsend holding fort on the other side.

And in other news, West Brom players have been reacting to Dwight Gayle’s latest Instagram post…

Phil Hay gave his verdict on Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier’s performance against Hull City, during a Q&A on The Athletic.

What did he say?

Kiko Casilla has been banned for eight games, after being charged for racism towards Jonathan Leko, as reported by BBC Sport.

With the Spaniard unavailable due to this, 19-year-old stopper Meslier went between the sticks for Leeds’ 4-0 win against Hull, making his first league appearance for the club.

Following the game, Hay was asked what he thought of the Frenchman’s performance, to which he replied: “A little bit anxious in brief periods but good handling in the air, brave enough with his passing and didn’t look nervous in the main. It was a good game to make your first league start in. Not a lot coming his way.”

Judgement yet to be made

It was a good game for the youngster to make his first league start in as Hull lacked any real threat, with Meslier keeping a clean sheet after making two saves.

Hay mentioned his passing during the game, and while Meslier was off with some of them, which meant he gave away some cheap throw-ins, he did finish up with a pass success rate of 73%.

The willingness he showed to pick out his teammates was an integral part of Leeds’ build-up play at times, as he helped Kalvin Phillips get onto the ball.

He also looked assured in his handling, dealing with one specific ball into the box from deep well – appearing composed and in complete control when plucking it out of the air.

Overall, it was a performance that Marcelo Bielsa will likely be satisfied with, as a clean sheet is always a good way for any goalkeeper to start.

However, there will probably be far bigger tests for him to face during his time in the Leeds goal than this one.

Meanwhile, one Leeds man was hailed by Phil Hay.

Leeds United’s month just keeps getting better and better as Luke Ayling has picked up February’s PFA Player of the Month award this week.

The Whites defender won with 51% of the votes as revealed by LUFC’s official Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have picked up five straight victories in the league which has seen them overtake West Brom into sole possession of the Championship lead whilst also opening up a gap of seven points to the playoff positions.

Ayling has played a major part in that, regularly featuring as the Argentine’s first-choice right-back.

Here’s how fans have been lauding him on social media…

There was a shout from one supporter that the 28-year-old should be the team’s captain whilst he’s also been described as “immense” and as a “top class performer.”

His month has been pretty solid so this award could well be fully deserved, and that’s something fans have acknowledged below.

Per WhoScored, Ayling recorded 20 tackles, 14 interceptions and four key passes from seven matches – of which, Leeds only lost twice.

The Bielsa favourite was brandished as an “absolute baller” having contributed four goals and four assists in 28 league appearances this season, per Transfermarkt.

This level of form has led to one shout for Ayling to be the Player of the Season as he’s been in “awesome” nick.

And in other news, Phil Hay plays down Leeds chance of a permanent move for loanee…

According to reports emerging from Italy over the weekend, Everton are eyeing up a move for Torino centre-back Nicolas Nkoulou this summer, but it would be a disaster move from director of football Marcel Brands.

Torino misfit

The 29-year-old sparked controversy at the start of the season after trying to force an exit from the club, so his manager Walter Mazzarri forced him to apologise to his teammates for his behaviour and dropped him for five matches, per Calciomercato.

He’s gone on to play 26 times this campaign, but his form in 2020 has been a major issue for the Serie A outfit – they have lost six straight in the division, including massive defeats of 7-0 and 4-0 in back-to-back games.

Everton may have to compete with Wolves and West Ham for his signature this summer.

Toffees transfer flops

The Toffees have long had a history with making poor moves in the transfer market, and this sort of deal wreaks of another Cuco Martina- like flop.

He joined on a free transfer from Southampton in July 2017 and has only gone on to play 28 times for the club whilst he hasn’t featured in a single match this campaign.

The 30-year-old has been out on loan twice and is now perishing with the U23 squad as he seems increasingly unlikely to ever feature for Carlo Ancelotti.

Fans have seemingly lost patience with club-record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson too with some blasting him for being a “liability” in recent weeks.

At £45m, just two goals and two assists from 29 appearances simply isn’t good enough.

More recently, Moise Kean and Alex Iwobi have hardly hit the ground running while the blows of losing Idrissa Gueye and Kurt Zouma still must ring in the minds of some at Goodison Park.

Verdict

Therefore, Brands still has a lot to prove in his role and plumping for Nkoulou to solve their defensive problems isn’t going to help his reputation much.

Last time out, Everton were thumped 4-0 by a Chelsea side that only had one striker at their disposal – there’s nothing to suggest that the Torino man would come in and help, but rather make things worse.

It would be wise to steer well clear of this one; otherwise, it’s another catastrophe at the hands of their chief transfer operator.

And in other news, Everton snubbed sensational Erling Haaland move in 2018…

According to The Sun, Aston Villa are hopeful that they could sign two-time Premier League winner Joe Hart on a free transfer in the summer, as it is revealed he is expected to leave Burnley.

Despite the fact he’s yet to play this season, it could be argued that a move makes sense for Villa. Indeed, with Tom Heaton is currently injured, January loan signing Pepe Reina has proven somewhat unreliable.

While a vastly experienced Wolrd Cup winner has been a good shot-stopper, making 23 saves in six appearances, via Premier League, he has not been at his best in other aspects of his game. Furthermore, his mistake against Leicester in the side’s 4-0 loss, per Birmingham Mail, and was duly criticised by Dean Smith and Sven Goran-Eriksson.

He is, of course, only on loan too and it’s not clear what a potential relegation would do to his chances of extending his stay in the Midlands.

Whilst Joe Hart has done little lately to suggest he is worthy of starting in the Premier League, the experience that he has gained at both Manchester City and England could be huge for the club. In terms of a back-up to the likes of Heaton or Orjan Nyland, Hart does look a reasonably safe option in either division, with Reina himself doing little to wholly convince.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti appears to be already gearing up for next season if reports emerging over the weekend are to be believed.

According to the Mirror [March 29th, page 77], winger Theo Walcott has been made available for transfer after failing to impress the 60-year-old ever since he took the reins back in December.

It’s claimed that the club will try to move the 31-year-old on should any reasonable offer come in for him this summer. He’s currently valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt and is on a healthy pay packet of £100k-per-week with his contract not set to expire until 2021.

And fans have been discussing his future on social media, here’s what has been said so far…

There were those fully behind the ploy, claiming it was “finally good news” with one supporter even blasting the Englishman for being a “mercenary”.

Walcott has made 25 appearances this term, but has only managed to find the net once whilst three assists in all competitions is hardly inspiring either.

As a winger, his numbers are just as dire, averaging a mere 0.4 crosses, 0.6 key passes and 1.6 unsuccessful touches per game in the Premier League, per WhoScored.

However, there were some fans who would rather see other names out the exit door before the veteran wide man, most notably Gylfi Sigurdsson – a further member of the Toffees faithful said he’d accept as little as £5m for the Icelandic playmaker as he’s been the “biggest waste of money” in the club’s history.

Other names listed included Sandro Ramirez, Yannick Bolasie and Cuco Martina while others had their doubts over whether they could actually rid Goodison Park of Walcott.
