This is true. Surely it was worth a risk and I’m certain that Scottish striker would have offered and contributed more.Wish him well in the future but hes not for us..
Money could have been spent on a certain Scottish striker.
When we really needed a strikerGood, money wasted on another pointless loan
We have a lot of players in that position I think that’s one of the reason for the fall off in form from a lot of players in the last few weeksMy thinking has been all over the place with him. To start with it was we will get 20 goals out of him but there is no chance we will ever be able to afford him. It then switched to he isn’t that good so maybe we can agree a reduced fee. It ended up with even if we got him for free I wouldn’t take him.
Worry is he just goes through the motions for five or six weeks, some might say that would be an improvement.
Oh no….
Not exactly a great surprise.
That’s my thoughts. The minute he didn’t chase a ball v Dundee , I was thoroughly done with him.We cannot play this guy again, he simply can't be trusted to give 100% if he knows he's for the off.
I've wondered if an agent involved with Wolverhampton needed some money so a big transfer was arranged.
I was just going to say I’m surprised we announce this with 4 crucial games to go. He’s obviously not going to give 100% now. (Unless there was a date set in the loan agreement).I would rather play Scott Wright in the remaining games than Silva.
Silva seems the type that will down tools.

How was Sima doing pre inury again?These loans always work out really well for us.
Every manager makes a signing error.The biggest worry for me with the Silva signing is how much Clement wanted him.
I'm sure there were a few stories about the lengths Clement went to to get him signed.
A bit of a worry for future signings for me.
The only game I gave him pass marks was Benfica away, and that was probably because he was playing in his homeland trying to make a point.We cannot play this guy again, he simply can't be trusted to give 100% if he knows he's for the off.
How would we notice the difference?My only worry now is he just downs tools with us for the remaining games and won’t give a %^*& now
A bad signing is a bad signing mate. It's a waste of funds that can't be justified by saying "well one was bad, but one was good, so it all balances out". It's got nothing to do with who is in charge either. It's to do with getting value for every available penny we have to strengthen.Every manager makes a signing error.
Smith and Advocaat included.
Some, like Beale, even got one, maybe two correct.
Looke like Clement failed with Silva but this is balanced at this point by Diomande.
Another poor sighted, calamitous loan signing, anyone who watched him on the very few occasions he got with Wolves could see he was crap. 35 mill, just shows how ridiculous the English market is. Surely we have better than this!
Do you get every decision right?A bad signing is a bad signing mate. It's a waste of funds that can't be justified by saying "well one was bad, but one was good, so it all balances out".

Last summer we wasted a lot of money and it partly led to Beale going. For us not to learn from that and in the very next window dish out more funds on a failed Wolves player is scandalous. Especially when you consider he was never going to be permanent and that money could have been used on Shankland (just an example). Might be okay to say it in hindsight, but it was a 50/50 punt that was always more likely to be a let down than a success.
Any idea how much the loan fee was or how much a certain Scottish striker would have cost?Wish him well in the future but hes not for us..

Let's be honest here on paper it appeared to a great signing.Good, money wasted on another pointless loan
