Dan Bentley

They've gone for a little bit of experience, but you do wonder whether the experienced players they've actually gone for are actually just a bit... shit in a not in a horrible way I couldn't think of the best way to say that I mean saying someone's shit is a horrible way of saying it but saying that they're just a bit like average you know you look at Ethan Pinnock yes he is a very good player and I do like Ethan Pinnock but maybe a few years ago and maybe the reason he isn't getting in a Brentford team now is because they've moved up to another level but I do think he's about right for that bottom sort of six sort of team Gustavo Hamer he's a player who's always impressed me been a bit yo-yo with Sheffield United.

Then you've got Dan Bentley from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Yeah, he's only a backup goalkeeper.

So that's fair enough in that sense.

But for the moment, he's still young, he's still inexperienced, and he's still a little bit hit and miss in front of goal.

Brought in Dan Bentley as a depth goalkeeper, makes sense.

Brought in Ethan Pinnock as a young player to...

Sorry, as an older head to guide the defence.

I've seen some people be disappointed at the fee, but honestly, the fact that we got anything for him after being fairly useless for however many years feels like a win.

Dan Bentley, of course, went to Coventry for free.

Tolu got loaned out to Ajax, where Alex is furiously buying up t-shirts.

That's a loan with an option.

And that combined with also the lack of activity from one George Mendez, both in terms of incomings and outgoings, Jose saw wanted to leave.

We allegedly had goalkeepers lined up and I am not saying that the ones that they would have brought in would have been better than Jose saw is extremely likely that Jose saw that will be a better goalkeeper in the championship than whoever Fosun would have brought in.

But the fact that George Mendez could not even shift Jose Saw to some other club during that time while we were waiting to see what would happen, so much so that Dan Bentley started every single one of our preseason games and then went to Coventry on a free and That by itself was just so disappointing to me.

And I think that this window has been a huge disappointment to me, only allayed by the fact that, as you guys say, this is still a decently strong squad.

Ethan Pinnock coming from Brentford.

Daniel Bentley, Wolves free transfer.

And they got a loan boy as well from City, Mifune.

We'll see him or not, we'll see.

We've got players that have played in England forever.

Uh, you know, got, got Daniel Bentley as your third-string goalkeeper because, you know, whatever, that's fine.

And then you've got like a bunch of, of like high-end gambles.

Jeremie is a high-end gamble.

Johnson returned from a shoulder injury earlier this summer, but his route to regular football has become less clear.

He is behind Jose Sa in the pecking order following Dan Bentley's move to Coventry City.

Saa had also been linked with leaving Wolves, although he appears likely to stay.

Johnson has won four England caps and his Premier League experience with West Brom, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Yeah, we alluded to on the Walls Fancast social media page about a month ago that one of Cesar Passato's main targets was Andrew Ventura of Flamengo.

Up until the signing of, sorry, up until the departure of Dan Bentley, Walls had Joe Virginia on pre-agreement terms.

That one Spently was leaving and it was close that Sam Johnston would exit.

The Cogs would move, Wolves would sign Joe Virginia.

guys are professionals and whatever, but it sounds like a real mess.

We had Bentley coming in and starting the season.

We're assuming he's going to be around.

Then he gets sold.

And I have to say, Wolves have outdone themselves.

Whoever's writing Wolves' press release at the moment.

So they had the one the other week when they got rid of Bentley to Coventry.

And they said, oh, yeah, he was just minding the shirt because, you know, Sam Johnson's been injured and Jose Sarr had been at the World Cup.

I want to talk about a couple of players, if it's all right with you guys.

First of all, we had the debut of Dan Bentley.

Now, he's been getting a lot of stick online.

And to be fair...

That was the other night.

No, no, that's the second time I've seen us win, but the first time was way, way back.

I mean, let's get your thoughts, Dave, first on Dan Bentley.

You watched it on the TV.
