Forgotten Wolves man eyes exit
Forgotten Wolves midfielder Denes Rosa today admitted he may be forced to leave Molineux in the summer if he can’t guarantee first team football.
The Hungarian international has been restricted to reserve team football this season where he has scored 11 goals in 10 games, including one in last night’s 2-2 draw against Albion’s second string.
Rosa’s contract still has more than a year to run and he admits he will re-assess his future with boss Mick McCarthy this summer.
“If I can play, I’d like to stay because I like it here,” said Rosa.
“But if I can’t play here, I will try to get a move in the summer. I will stay in England.
“I have one more year on my contract. At the moment I don’t know yet whether I will leave yet because I was out injured with a hernia for a long time and now I’m getting match-fit so I’m waiting.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen – I haven’t spoke to the manager yet about my position.
“I work hard every day and I’m waiting to see. There’s no interest yet. I haven’t spoken to anyone but maybe my agent has something for me.”

His goals do the talking. 11 in 9 in the reserves this season…why is he not sitting on the first team bench at least. he has been injured but as he says, he is back to match fitness.

You will have to do better than 10 goals in 11 games for Mick. Have you considered putting in a shift?

we have nt forgotten you . a lot of fans want you to play . you were never unpopular .

see ya later. Got too many midfielders as it is.

1 – Would definitely like to see him on the bench some time soon.
Good eye for goal, and could provide attacking impetus from midfield if we’re chasing a game.

2 ha ha, that made me smile!

Dont really care yet. We on a roll for our promotion push, lets not upset the applecart…keep you mouth shut Rosa until the end of the season.

if he was any good don’t you think someone else would have come in for him??????
he’s bin on the transfer list for 2 years!!!!!!!!!
good bye denes!

even lucky mick must realise that he would be an asset coming off the bench

4.Wolvesmad are they as good? we’ll never know because he only plays favourites. Reserve team football is about showing what you can do, just think if we had someone from midfield who could score just 10 goals a season. I’ve never seen this guy really have a bad game when he played and certainly gave more contribution than Elliot when he played on the right. Worth putting on the bench.
Another baffling decision by MM or should i say expected by now.
Report abuse
see ya.
with the muppet in charge you got no chance mate.
Report abuse
Can’t understand why this bloke can’t get a game. An attacking midfielder who works hard and was scoring goals when we were crying out for somebody who knew how to put a ball in the sprout bag. I think his form should have got him a place on the bench this season at the bare minimum but he’s not an MM signing and he’s too attack minded so not much chance of getting a game
Report abuse
GET RID OF MCARTHY, THEN YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE.
OTHERWISE FORGET IT..
Report abuse
I think he needs to develop an Irish Accent and have his picture taken in a Sunderland shirt.
He’ll be first name on the teamsheet till the end of the season
Report abuse
He isnt a bad player just a shame McCarthy never gave him a first team chance in a league game.
Report abuse
He’s really not that good guys. Remember Leon Clarkes performances for the reserves? He was equally impressive, but for the first team he was utter garbage. It’s got nothing to do with putting a shift in or otherwsie, he’s just not that good.
Report abuse
He is a good player. The problem is when he was fit, MM made the choice between him and Seyi. Seyi/George has only just started playing to the levels that he can do.
I agree with most on this site in that he definitely should be on the bench. He has a decent record for the first team.
If he goes, he will not struggle for a team. Other clubs have not gone in for him, as he has been injured.
Poor management from MM with him and Freddy I am afraid. Which weighs against the good pieces of management/decisions ie Hennessey, Elokobi, Gray, Ebanks-Blake!
Report abuse
What do Rosa and Freddy have to do to get in front of Seyi and Keogh? If we get in the play offs it will be in spite of Fick Mick, not because of him. If we lose in the play offs it will be down to Mick.
Report abuse
Sadly, his continuing frustration is a testimony to the rigidity of a manager,who feins humility, but manifests conceitedness.
Report abuse
He shud of played earlier in the season instead of his love child Stephen Ward

We have a saying in the UK Denes, ‘when your face doesn’t fit…’ and unfortunately yours does not with McCarthy!
You have wasted a year or so of your life here at Wolves and regardless of the manager’s comments earlier in the season about ‘putting a shift in for the reserves’ etc, it counts for nothing when the manager does not like you!
So Denes, do yourself a favour, don’t spend another season in the reserves, find another club who deserves a player like you, who will give you games on a regular basis, lets you play your normal game and to score goals for fun as you have been doing.
Good luck Denes, you have had a raw deal and I wish you better luck at another club!

Well put number 19 !

Surely if we don’t go up it will be all Moxey’s fault? I tripped up a kerb in Gornal the other day. That was Moxey’s fault. I remember the computer malfunctioned once on Blakes’s 7. That was Moxey’s fault. In fact, everything is. Including last years wet summer. I think.

Central Midfielders in contention:
Olifinjana
Potter
D.Edwards
Henry
Gibson
M.Davies
Gleeson
I agree that we do have alot of midfielders, but alot of the above are defensive minded. Our main two attacking central midfielders (Edwards and Davies) are injured, which just leaves Oli…and MM is intent on playing our top scorer last year in a defensive role…for some reason!
With Edwards and Davies returning in the near future though, I think Rosa has had the opportunity, but MM has deemed him not good enough to play. And he’s not going to get in the team when those two are fit is he?
Report abuse
Yeah get him back in the team, then when he has a couple of bad games or misses a chance you can start screaming that he’s rubbish & for somebody else to come on!!!! Like our fans did with Paul Butler, Karl Henry, Andy Keogh, just to name a few!!! It makes my blood boil that our fans constantly criticise our own. Last season was so nice been a Wolves fan, when we supported our club for once. Teams (& managers) go through bad patches and thats when they need us the most, which as proven last season, after the Southamton game, helps much more than moaning!!!!! If you want to hear moaning stay at home & listen to the Mrs!!!!
Report abuse
HAHAHAHA SPOT ON PAUL.
Report abuse
i agree with ye paul, can we get behind the team like last season…no point on gettin on their backs, itl just screw with their confidence…and in an unrelated item can some people please stop making derogotary irish comments, i think its obvious that havin been manager of rep of ire and sunderland MM has a good networking system there
Report abuse
They were all screaming for him last year. (NOT!!!) No-one was willing to listen to them when we over-achieved. The Negativity Nerds are like empty oil drums. They make a lot of noise, but contribute nothing.
They constantly threaten to return their season tickets. Half of them never owned one, so how can you return something you don’t have.
Rosa has done well in the reserves. When the players train though, they don’t train just against the reserves. They compete with the first team. The reason that they are in the reserves is often because they can’t cut it against the first team regulars in training. You lot don’t seem to undersatnd that though. You make stupid noises about MM having favourites. They are his favourites because he sees them perform better than the others day in and day out at training, and when they get to play in the league.
18, South Bank Genius (?) asks what Rosa and Eastwood have to do to get in ahead of Seyi Olofinjana and Andy Keogh? “Be better than the” is the answer. Neither of them are better. If you attended matches you would see that. (How can you call yourself a “genius,” by the way? If that was advertising it would breach the Trades Description Act.)
Report abuse
He’s not playing because he’s rubbish. He got packed off back here from a loan at cheltenham last season because he wasn’t good enough!!! He’s the last remaining element of the Hoddle debacle and the sooner he’s off the wage bill the better.
Report abuse
11 in 9 sort of indicates (Trades & Descriptions) that he’s not half bad. How many have Jay and the others scored in the reserves?? He should have been given a chance while we were playing CRAP!
Report abuse
he`s 1000% wolves battles for the cause trains good and has never moaned!! sooooo he`ll be gone! he`s not in the MM mold
Report abuse
at 2. have you considered buying a brain?!?!? he is a long way off competing for a first team shirt. Not good enough for Cheltenham says it all really.
Report abuse
18. so if we win the playoffs it’s from th eplayers good doing
but if we loose its Micks fault surely praise anmd critism should be divided :| Micks got us winning and we have looked great since ebanks-blake signed so just shut up and let him do his job you moron.
Report abuse
I will tell you what the problem is here.MM has his favourites but he knows we “the fans” do aswell.For example Bothroyd was one of his favourites freddy isnt.Maybe he thinks that Rosa doesnt fit in to “his” team, and by not playing him he knows that we cant praise him and want him playing week in week out for our club. Hes already got us chanting for freddy and perhaps he doesnt want us chatting for rosa.
Report abuse
Remember, you heard it here first!
The rumour factory says that McCarthy and Moxey are not being allowed to sell existing Wolves players. Mr Morgan has little faith in their much flawed judgments, and he wants the replacement team, including the Guv’nor, to decide who goes, and who stays.
HOT OF THE PRESS!

Let’s examine the facts…
A Hungarian International player, good enough to play against the best that the Premiership can throw at Hungary, plays for a second-rate Championship team, managed by a management serial failure, with a giant, inflated ego.
After injury, he ends up playing reserve team football, but scoring 11 goals in 10 games is not considered to be good enough to getting a seat on the bench, let alone a team place.
Hmmm… I am going to a darkened room to think about this. Maybe, if he altered his name to O’Rosa he might have more chance?
Report abuse
Just like Eastwood and davies, mccarthy don’t like them and thats pretty obvious so he’s got no chance. Unfortunately. A bit like gypes, mm couldn’t wait to get rid, he was a good defender (with a touch of pace)
Report abuse
What a shame that he hasn’t been given a fair crack of the whip.I think he should have been given a chance.
Good luck in finding a new club.They will have got a sound player.

(7), for christs sake, the guy is stating what he feels, if youre unhappy somewhere, if youre getting overlooked dont you try to move on. Yet another hatchet guy who wants to shoot someone down for no reason wotsoever….
Seen Rosa play first team football & as for putting a shift in, well, can’t say that anyone presently is a more attacking/defending midfielder. Having said that, George & Henry are doing whats required but I feel that to have back up in the likes of Rosa on the bench would turn games, either to hold onto results or turn the screw & have a much more attacking force when chasing results in the run in. I & a few good many like Me can’t think why Rosa (like Eastwood) are finding it hard to see why these guys are only playing reserve or bit part football………
I’ll be sad to see both of these guys move on, as I’m sure they will, just watch it turn around & bite us again in the very near future.
Good luck in all you do Dennis, our loss will be someones gain

he’s better than what we have now. Edwards will come good but in two years. He’s what we have missed ….energy and commitment, oh and going forwards helps. We can only go sideways or backwards. Unlucky Denes, you looked a good player

Just because a player is prolific in the reserves doesn’t mean they will be in the first team – Leon Clarke being a case in point….

Of course he should have been given a chance earlier on this season. Mccarthy has treated him poorly.

is it just me or has Rosa scored the bulk of those goal playing behind the frontman…dont expect that strike rate to continue outside of reserve football, which is just a glorified youth level

..thoughts, if Eastwood is worth 1.5M and sitting on the bench, what are our other players worth?
On the other hand, a good manager (which we lack) might have him kicking the ball around.
Wonder what Coventry can see that MM doesn’t? maybe its a good player? I am sure Rosa is as talented as the make weights MM actually bought for this season.
Clogger Mick has no idea really, works on the basis of have a squad of 100 and pick eleven by straws. Bit like american football, forty different special teams..and pee break every five seconds..

bring back Camara from Wigan! just about all we need to make the team a complete joke!

This is madness. For those of you agreeing that he should go, it seems clear that you have never seen him play. Whe he featured he was nothing less than superb. I would put him in the same league as Alex Rae with a work rate second to none. What concerns me is that he has not asked the question already. Someone of his class surely would not be happy playing for the reserves. He is an attacking midfielder and with 2 wingers would add flare to the attack. The only problem is that we would sacrifice defensive duties and we all know our defence is poor. Keep Rosa. Get rid of Potter.

41. Rico Wolf
Don’t show everybody your inadequacies! He is an International player, not some rookie in the reserves.
Go away and write 100 lines, “It is easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle than to make a fool see reason.”
Report abuse
I do not think that Wolves have been very wise here. We have an International player, and we have reduced his market value. I think that this is disgraceful!
Get him playing, get him market exposure and then sell him. The pathetically managed situation we have at the moment means that we have to give him away.
If we built him up he would be worth £3-5M. With the incompetent way he has been managed we are heading towards a freebie!
Heads should roll for this!!!
