Jhon Arias

Arias only played in the 1st half against Everton before being subbed out for a tactical move. Andre (DM) for Arias. Wolves were down 0-1 at the end of the first half.

game ended up 1-1...

seems like the last 10 minutes of the game were a shit show. Everton lost 2 players to red cards

 

Wolves are def playing better but are so behind on points. they need to pick up whatever they can. the result was not bad but a victory against a 9 man everton would of been epic. 5 out of 9 points in the last 3 games

 

Even though it’s FA Cup, Wolves needed a game like today.

 

I am going to leave this right here:

 

it was always going to be a risk, what surprised me is how incredibly shit Wolves became out of nowhere.

at the start of the season I knew he wasn't joining a top team but I was convinced they would at least be a solid lower/mid table side, turns out they became pretty much the worst team in England

who knew

if he were younger it would be perfectly fine but again the developmental issues in Colombia continue to screw with the majority of players, tons of people develop so late and it really takes away from their potential sadly.

Europe is all about buying young to develop long term, its really lame

 

I don't think he failed at Wolves, I think Wolves failed and then he and them realized it was better to sell him and here we are. He wasn't amazing but he was getting his footing on a terrible team and how fast their season was over changed the whole situation for him and they prioritized other non sporting factors.

 

did they sell him for more than they got him for or the exact same?

 

I wouldn't say he failed either

But the team is so shit that its hard to view any positives

I think its fine because he's going to a top team in brazil who i think is actually much better than shitty wolves

Im confident he'll slot in seamlessly

 

i dont think anyone expected Wolves to go down so hard..
maybe their fans but from my end Wolves could be an okay team who's been in the EPL for a sec now.. disappointing as a EPL fan who likes to follow our players in the league

 

damn... Brazilians have so much fking money now....

hope he fully recovers he such a massive part of the NT

 

Flamengo spent 40m+ on Paquetá

 

Brasileirao is turning into a must watch for me now

 

DT de Palmeiras dio polémicas declaraciones sobre llegada de Arias
En medio de la llegada del cafetero, el técnico del cuadro Verdao, Abel Ferreira, se ha metido en el ojo del huracán por unas polémicas declaraciones sobre este fichaje.

En pocos términos, el estratega dio a conocer que Arias no fue un pedido de él y dijo que es un movimiento de la presidenta del equipo, Leila Pereira. Además recalcó que si es un refuerzo, deberá demostrarlo en la cancha, apagando la expectativa por el chocoano.

“Jugadores como Arias son contrataciones de la presidenta (…) son refuerzos cuando juegan”, dijo.

Imagine making a statement like that talking about the guy who was arguably the best player in South America and won everything just 1-2 years ago, and on top of that a super hard worker who plays multiple positions and defends like a dog.

 

It’s unfortunate but I know he’ll win him over

 

we hope he does

and quickly the WC is 4 months away

our players need to talk to the coaches before going. this would happen to James a lot. The coach was like yea I don't want that guy

 

I think Abel Ferreira has a particular style, that's why he's bitching now that he didn't hand pick him

kind of like when Juarez left Nacional because the board were hell bent on Uribe and he didn't want to etc

Arias was literally a top 5 player in Brazil so im sure he'll come around

 

What I never understood with Arias at wolves (and it’s been a theme with the NT as well) is that in games where he would start, he would be the first player to get subbed out despite him being involved in critical plays that would lead to goal scoring opportunities. Not always generating the assist but the genesis of a big play often started with him winning a ball and making that first or second pass that preceded the assist / goal. And then things would fall apart after getting subbed out.

Makes me wonder if the wearable fitness technology indicated that Arias was out of gas…bc from a tactical perspective I can’t think of any time where Colombia or Wolves played better after Arias being subbed out.

Maybe i'm just watching a totally different game than others...i always found him one of the most valuable players (along with Rios) of this past cycle - Lucho and James are in their own category of course...but they could not have accomplished what they did without the engine of Arias/Rios this past cycle (in my eyes)...
