Wolves have joined a growing list of clubs interested in signing Walsall full-back Daniel Fox as his transfer saga took a new twist today.
The defender, who is also wanted by Championship strugglers Colchester, has asked for more time to weigh up his transfer window options.
But it is clear that interest in the 21-year-old left-back is gathering momentum with the Saddlers’ neighbours now also pondering a move for the former Everton player.
Walsall, who have left Fox out of their last two games, today denied some claims that Wolves had had a bid accepted.
Colchester are still the only club to have struck a deal with the League One outfit, a deal which with add-ons is thought to be worth the best part of £500,000.
Fox met with Layer Road officials earlier this week but has since asked for more time to consider his options and he was due for talks with Saddlers boss Richard Money today to establish his player’s thoughts in the build-up to Walsall’s League One clash with Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
But the prospect of Wolves now entering the fray is bound to catch his attention and with Leeds also in the background, a decision on Fox’s future could drag on for a while yet.
Money said today: “We left out Daniel last Saturday because we accepted the bid from Colchester on the morning of the game and it had dragged on until Tuesday – but I hope things will be settled one way or another.
“It’s difficult to know precisely what is in his mind until I’ve sat down and had a good chat with him. But I can confirm other clubs are interested.”

hes after walsall players now,in mick we trust :-)boing boing
This Lad is quality
Interesting. Seen this lad play a couple of times, looks good on the ball and has a fair amount of pace. Could be a very good addition to the squad however i thought the colchester deal was as good as done??
Be pleased to have you at the club although no great loss if he doesn’t join as micheal gray has been the best wolves player (accept Hennessey of course) for the past few games
Come on wolves time to start firing
we have the quality in the squad to do well in this league, just not playing our players out of position.
Shuttup baggie we’ll all laugh when were playing you again next year and smash you 4-1 again, foxy would walk into your squad, to the rest of the people on here, he’s wana the best players ive seen down the banks for years, has a great left foot, quite abit of skill, very calm and collect, no team has ever came to us yet and had the beating of him, that includes leeds, forest, swansea, doncaster, carlisle, leeds have been ripping our arm off for him but we just wont sell him to them
Come on Mick, pull out the stops. Shell out the cash and get this lad down here. It’s obvious he’d rather stay local than relocate.
We need someone to replace that useless lump (Gray). Good at attacking, non-existent at defending.
jls wolf -3
We can start with firing mad Mick
Cerainly a position that needs strengthening. A bit worrying that he “has asked for more time to weigh up his transfer window options”.
Is he keen on a move to Wolves or not?
just offer them 250k with further 500k if we promoted! simple no other teams will match that and if promoted whats 500k when you got 60M+
Not seen this lad play but what i’ve read on here and heard off a few Walsall supports, he is a quality player.
Let hope we can get a couple of Centre Backs in and we should have our defence sorted, then we can start to sort our midfield.
Through think and thin, up the Wolves.
What you afraid of terrywalsallbaggie good competiton when our sides meet
Sorry,
Through thick and thin, it’s meant to say.
FITS THE YOUNG AND HUNGRY POLICY! GET HIM IN IF HE IS PLAYING WELL!

Walsall wouldn’t take that offer, as there would be a chance (no matter whether we was top of the league or where we’re now)that we might not get promoted and that would leave Walsall with a very poor deal. The sort of deal you’re talking about is rarely struck, despite what many papers suggest.
Can Paul Ince be the same to Wolves as Kevin Keegan is to Newcastle that would be FANPOWER
This lad played for my team on 3 occasions in 2005. He was steady if un-spectacular.
16 Who is your team??
16.
Thats 2 to 3 years ago and you’re basing it on 3 games. Don’t think you can read much into that.
zak 5 may i remind you that when you beat us 4-1 we went up you went down,dream on boing boing
young players coming but like reading/steve coppell they will need a few years to develop,give the manager and the team the patience thats required.
jls 3 if your a dingle fan where have you seen him play boing boing
yes, he will be nice and fresh, no long motorway drivng from Walsall, should be able to last the full 90 mins, unless he has the flu !
7 and 15, Same old same old. YAWN YAWN.
Would seem a good buy, get him in! we will never have a left back as good as tommo or even naylor!young and hungry.
sign him up now
we have peeps runin this club like a joke,3 weeks ago thay sed we r in europe lookin for players ,walsaw plymouth ,luton,mmmm hot and sunny there lol
I think if we were after Fox we would have signed him by now. £500k for a young left back aint bad.
I think the real target is Elokobi and were waiting for Fox to finally move to Colchester. Apparently the Elokobi deal is in place, Fox not making his mind up is causing the delay.
But where is the left winger we desparety need?
We cant keep playing Ward there for the rest of the season!
How many playes have we got in the first team squad now - 44 and counting. That speaks volumes for this manager. O’Neil at Villa has a squad of what - 25 max. How can you work with 44 players - The good news is we’ve got 4 teams to everyone else one. MM - is definately totally bonkers.
26 - good post.
No point coming to wolves if he is going to sit on the bench!¬
MICK OUT!
MICK OUT!
THE LAD IS BILLIANT DON’T SIGN THE OTHER GUY SIGN HIM NOW YOUNG AND A LOCAL LAD
I’d rather have a walsall player than a walsallboggie any day
BTW terence do you shout boing boing cos thats what you are - boinging up then falling down again ?
Why don’t you go play on the motorway & let the PROPER boggies fans (H_b etc) comment
Would be a sood signing in my opinion but lets see what happens, you know the E&S’s record on “hot” stories
Someone said a 500,000 add on if the
dingles get in the premiership,
we are a small club but not naive.
Has he expressed any desire to move to us? If not forget about him - had too many uncommitted players in the past.
How big is this growing list and does it include a premiership team?
terry(i dont support my local team)baggie shut up and get on your own site oh i forgot theres nothing happening on there?anyway to fox he would be a great buy spoke to a few mates(walsall fans) and they rate him highly but why not get fox and put in a good enough offer for Elokobi as well sorted..and 27 Rutland Wolf perhaps we are gunna play all 4 teams at the same time then we might score a few goals…
The bit about him being local is a red herring folks. He is a scouse lad (ex Everton) and the word is he still commutes from Liverpool.
He’s had a good half a season in league one this term but he is untried at second tier level and I fear some Wolves fans may expect too much from him.(What? Wolves fans with inflated expectations? Shurely shome mishtake?)
15) Why do people want Paul Ince? and why do they think he’s Wolves through and through? Im not convinced personally.
Regarding Keegan and ‘fanpower’ the best contrast would be to re-appoint Graham Turner.
He’s provining himself in the lower leagues again and he IS Wolves through and through!
Food for thourght?
Pacey centre-half PLEASE (or two)
Where the hell is MARK DAVIES?????????????????????????????????
36
I want Paul Ince because he’s got potential,is passionate about the club, can attract top players , will be respected and won’t put up with second best!
An interesting other option would be Darren Ferguson whose Peterboro side - by all accounts - play the best football in their division…better than the MK Dons!
Either way, I don’t want MM cos he’s got no potential, has no affinity with Wolves and I’m not convinced has the respect of the players. I don’t know whether Keegan will be a success at Newcastle but they’ll go from being a side that plays no football to a side that will entertain.
If we stay with MM, we’ll be a poor side playing conservative football.
Incidentally, leaving aside our own prejudices, does anyone know a fan of any other club who would want McCarthy if he was available!? No? I rest my case!
Someone said Gray was a useless lump? Do these people go to matches. He was slow when he arrived, but in recent weeks he’s been one of our best players - perhaps not a great achievement given the poor fodder doled out. Why do the Tesco footballing Plankton infest our blogs? I wouldnt know where to look for theirs? Sandwell Crem website, oops sorry thats the Stinkthorns…..

Top of this page on the left you will find plenty of your mates there, some even disguised as Tesco fans, peculiar that.
I don’t hold any antipathy towards Wolves fans I would like to see your team get to the play offs I want as many Midlands teams in the Prem as possible so I fail to understand the need for purile terms such as used by you totally pointless
grays been amazin for us recently, probably our best player!! i’d rather have Elokobi tbh. 2 quick, strong centre backs, left winger and attackin midfielder…basically just buy a new team Mick!!!
Be a good signing, lives in Winsford by the way
Up the Wolves
Fox as a dingle - never. Second rate team with fickle fans.
He will come to the glory land of Wolverhampton. As soon as we strike the back of that net and the confidence is back. Some teams are going to get a battering.
WOL 34 JUST BEEN ON MY OWN SITE YOUR RIGHT NOTHING HAPPENING WE STILL TOP,WOLFIE 30 WE AINT BOINGING DOWN AS QUICK AS YOU EVEN YOUR MANAGER AS GIVE UP BOING BOING
WOLVES JUST A SMALL CHAMPIONSHIP CLUB.STOP DREAMING ABOUT PROMOTION.
SADDLERPAUL
Are you the VILLAGE IDIOT?
No 46
They don’t come much smaller than Walsall who will never get to the premiership in a million years !!!
Think you are actually a minute League 1 club!!!
I saw Walsall at Gillingham and Leyton orient and if he’s the same fullback as played there he would be an excellent buy. At Orient he was probably the best player. The ball seemed to stick to him in every tackle and he was so cool the temperasture in the stands dropped ten degrees. mmmmmmmmmm
andy reeves 16
Haha. A lot can change in 3 years froob.:)
Good managment, Maturing more football etc etc
here here saddler 46 why would fox want to go there better off at colchester boing boing
u can definately have him for 500k. mick wot a legend. we will be playing u next season and we will show u up.
SUPER MICK
SUPER MICK
walsall mad man i know we’re a second rate team but you’re a third rate team so i think your boy fox will have no hesitation in signing for us as we are just slightly a bigger club than walsall but i do always look out for walsalls results as they’re everyones second team in the mids so good luck for the season hope you can cope without your left back and still get promoted to the second tier by which time we’ll be back where we belong in the prem and a first rate team again “UP THE WOLVES”
oh yes saddler paul i forgot we’re the ones getting 5 thousand at our home matches( and thats when you’re doing well, we take that away)still getting 23-24000 and thats when playing crap but we r just a tiny championship club unlike yourselves(not in chmpship yet)
“You’ve let us down again”
‘Nuff said. Fox will never sign for Wolves, why would he want to play at Chorley, even if there’s 20,000 Wolves there (again). Fickle club, fickle fans.
Well done Molly (38) I now understand the thoughts behind the people who want to get rid of MM. That is definitely the biggest load of rubbish in one message and those who don’t recognise MM’s achievements are just idiots.
More purile comments from Terry I see. Such hatred is a sentiment appropriate to the occasion of another’s superiority. Understand
Its rich coming from Walsall fans that we are fickle - How many of your fans were giving Richard Money stick at the start of the season? & How many came forward and backed the manager?
Most football clubs are the same - fans demand more - especially the ones that regularly pay - simple really!
We dont see why this lad Fox is any better than Charlie Mulgrew who plays left back at U21 level for Scotland? Do we really need another left back when we have M Gray who did well in recent games, Charlie Mulgrew who plays at U21 level for Scotland but cant get a look in under MM and D Jones who is doing really well at Northampton?
With regards to left wing/ midfield - M Jarvis is very good - and is L Gobern anywhere near fit again? S Elliott did well on right wing yesterday - But we could really do with a centre half with some pace
D Edwards looks like a good prospect - lets hope MM keeps this team together and gives them a chance to gel together - But sadly it looks like Freddie doesnt fit in with MM
UP THE WOLVES!!!
He’s gorra gew!!!
You Ding Ulls must be really desperate if you want Danny Fox, he’s nothing special in League 1. I also heard you’re after our ex striker par cederqvist, he’s gotta be worth £3m of Wolves money!
