Sasa Kaladjzic’s debut couldn’t have gone a lot worse for Bruno Lage, because the Austria worldwide was compelled off at half-time via harm, with scans later revealing that he had picked up an ACL problem which can rule him out for a lot of the season.

Raul Jimenez too is struggling for health and the very last thing Lage wants proper now’s a squad with no frontman when you think about that his aspect are the joint-lowest scorers within the prime flight this season alongside West Ham.

Even when Wolves had been impressing final season and looking out as if they might problem for Europe, objectives had been an issue, as solely the relegated sides within the Premier League scored fewer, whereas Jimenez would end because the membership’s prime scorer with simply six to his title.

Diego Costa has been touted as a short-term resolution at Molineux however work allow issues have been a stumbling block for former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid man as he goals to safe a change again to England.

Ought to Wolves signal Carroll?

Lage clearly desires a striker who can maintain the ball up however is restricted to free brokers, and one man who has additionally reportedly been on the listing is former Liverpool and Newcastle United ahead Andy Carroll.

Whereas that purpose report may very well be lots worse, the issue with Carroll has hardly ever been along with his performances, however along with his means to remain match.

His harm report is in depth and about as sporadic as a Jackson Pollock portray, with calf, knee and groin injuries all maintaining him out for extended intervals throughout his profession.

Certainly, the previous England worldwide has had 23 separate incidents of harm concern all through his enjoying days so it wouldn’t be a protected signing in any respect.

Carroll’s perspective has additionally been questioned prior to now, with Karen Brady labelling him a “behemoth from ages past” throughout his time at West Ham United, so Jeff Shi can be making an enormous mistake in sanctioning a transfer for him.

The very last thing Lage wants is to signal one other striker who’s prone to spend extra time with the physio than on the pitch, and he should discover one other solution to cope following Kalajdzic’s setback, whether or not that’s with Costa or anyone else.
