Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to Tim Spiers’ Twitter post on departed player Jordan Graham.
Following the club’s announcement on Monday that two senior players, Graham and Phil Ofosu-Ayeh, had left the club (per Wolves), the Athletic journalist relayed his thought’s on Graham’s release (per Tim Spiers), which had Wolves fans following suit.
Not a surprise to see Jordan Graham released.
He had that insane spell of 8 assists in 12 games under Jackett but suffered an utterly horrendous knee injury and was out for 14 months.
Actually played in Nuno's first match (against Boro) but never reached those heights again.

Hardly ever played after signing a new contract . Shame looked good pre knee injury

Waste of what could have been a talent, shame

Should Wolves have kept Jordan Graham contracted with the club?No, not good enough
Yes, he had talent

The 25-year-old winger signed for Wolves permanently in 2015 from Aston Villa’s Under-23s, however, went on to have five loan spells away from Molineux (per Transfermarkt).
In his stay with the Old Gold, Graham made 17 appearances for Wolves in which he scored one and assisted eight (per Transfermarkt), leaving fans to contemplate what might have been.
A real shame and a waste of talent

Fell out of favour with Nuno. Good luck to Jordan.

Remember Nuno trying to convert him into a wing back that pre season against Peterborough, but he didn’t seem to want to.
Difference between him and someone like Adama, who was willing to learn.

Went down far to easily. Nuno doesn’t like that kind of play. No loss to our current squad.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from the Molineux faithful, some fans believe the Englishman to have had more wasted talent than others do.
Having bagged only one assist and no goals over seven League One appearances while on loan with Gillingham this season (per Transfermarkt), though, it seems unlikely that he would have become a first-team starter for Wolves.
