I agree with that wulfrun and we can only comment on what we have seen which isn't very much. But I feel Bonatini is more suited to the way we play than Afobe, and I don't think Afobe or Mir have done enough in the games they have played to warrant game time ahead of Jota, Costa, Cavaleiro or Bonatini. And we know all about Afobe anyway and there wont be any surprises to come from him. He can score goals at this level, has struggled in the Premier League, and his all round game is limited. He has gone from 5th choice at Bournemouth to 5th choice at Wolves but I still think signing him on loan is a good move, although from what little we have seen I think there is a real possibility his game has gone backwards since he was here last time. Personally I wouldn't sign him outright even if he does end up scoring a few in the next 3 months, I think there will be many better players available to us.
Whereas we haven't seen much of Gibbs White either but what we have seen has been impressive and his sub appearances would certainly have earned him more game time if we selected him
would have been rank bad management bearing in mind the brutal treatment jota, cav and costa get every week to have not taken out a £3mill insurance policy to cover their possible abscence.
nunu doesnt do bad management
Also have to say about Gibbs White, he came on to the pitch at half time at Preston for a kick around with Afobe and Norris, and he looks such a talented player. His touch and ball control is exceptional and he certainly wouldn't look out of place alongside our Portugese superstars. Wonder if Nuno would give him a chance ahead of N'Diaye and Saiss

Maybe give him a start if and when promotion is secured. He's so easy on the eye when on the ball and I hope he can blossom into a top player.

I have to disagree with you about Mir, cinci. We paid 1m for him and I believe he was intended to be "cover" for Bonatini. We got Afobe at the last minute, literally and he seems to have fallen behind Afobe in the pecking order. It's quite a risk to take if, by your suggestion, he wasn't intended for any games this season.

We may have got Afobe at the last minute but we were in talks for weeks on and off.
And Mir was definitely not the intended back up
