Wolves have fulfilled a gentleman’s agreement to accept Seyi Olofinjana’s transfer request – but they want £3m for the midfielder.
The 28-year-old, who is currently away on international duty with Nigeria, made his intentions clear in writing on Friday.
Bolton and Wigan are now on alert for the former Brann Bergen player, who arrived from the Norwegian club for £1.75m four years ago.
The likely departure of Olofinjana – who only signed a four-year deal last summer – has echoes of Joleon Lescott’s exit two years ago.
Chief executive Jez Moxey said: “At the time of signing a new contract with Seyi last year, we agreed that should the club miss out on promotion at the end of the 2007-08 season, we would circulate his name for transfer if that was what he wished.
“As expected, Seyi has now made that request and we are therefore following through on our commitment. He has now been placed on the transfer list.
“As an experienced senior international player, who has not only served Wolves well but re-signed, instead of holding out to becoming a free agent this summer.
“He has given us the opportunity of recouping our financial investment in him to help us buy new players.”
Olofinjana scored 16 goals in 135 League appearances since signing for former boss Dave Jones.
He was 10-goal top scorer in Mick McCarthy’s first season but had a disappointing campaign last term with the additional burden of the African Nations Cup.
Olofinjana insisted his desire to move was not for money.
He said: “If offers come in, a lot of things would have to happen for me to leave.”
“But if it was down to money, I would have left Wolves long ago.”
The Nigerian scored just three times in 36 Championship games in 2007-08 and admits he has failed to scale his previous heights.
He said: “It was a really frustrating season for me and my performances weren’t always the best. I was below par and disappointing.”

yesssssss! sorry to sound chuffed but got nothing against the guy but has a player nah sorry he aint got it!
if we get 3m for him ill buy moxey a pie and a pint, not get brian howard!!
so much for his one ambition of getting us promoted hey
1. it should read now get brian howard lol got a bit excited after reading this
Well thats JUST what we bloody need! Maybe stop looking for even more strikers and concentrate on strengthening the midfield now… and on that note, am i right in saying we still havnt got a full defence yet?!
Farewell Seyi, all the best!
Cheers Seyi, although you can be a bit lightweight at times, you’ve been a great MF for the club and Good luck in the future.
He has given us the opportunity of recouping our financial investment in him to help us buy new players.”
The only positive thing out of this issue… all the best Olly, hope we get at least £3m for you..
i think this is the best move for both club and player. loyal servant who at this stage needs to move on. fair play to both wolves and the player for agreeing a contract with those terms. good luck oli.
“I just want to do my best for Wolves etc” “its not about money”…lets get rid quickly as possible. Says it all really MM must have known he was on his way but he is fixated with signing more strikers. Where does that leave us now?
Good riddance I say! He is over-rated and last season, didnt look bothered at all, lazy game after game, and just marking space. The only time he did work was when we signed Edwards and his position in the squad was under threat.
‘George’ admits he was below par last season, so perhaps this move is best for both parties, also he gets a crack at the Prem. He deserves his chance.
I think 3m is a fair price. Steve Bruce has been after him for 2 seasons now.
LET HIM GO IF YOU CAN GET £3 MIL!!!!
Tackles like a fairy and only plays well in one game in six!!!!
KIND OF SAD TO SEE HIM GO!?! HE IS SO INCONSISTENT ITS FRUSTRATING! ONE GAME HE IS RUBBISH, THE NEXT HE IS THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE!
GRRRR LOL
GOOD LUCK GEORGE WHERE EVER YOU GO!
fair enough if he wants to go. He hasn’t had the best of season, although on his day he is prem quailty, but you dont see it much. I think theres better players we cud get for 3mil if thts wht we got for him.
great news
3m for this donkey. so much for 10goals to get us promoted. seyi at times looks good but this is once or twice a season
if he plays well then wolves always win. but he never produces. maybe its because he hasnt had a break past few summers?
but 3m thank you seyi now please leave
well wat a surprise it was only the other day he said he cant wait for season to start and lookin for to it,how can it change in a few days.in a way im glad you are goin u are useless and 3million you am jokin ay ya wolves,y do all our players think there better than they are wen they cant get us out this league byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Absolute disgrace, what makes the player think that he has earned a transfer request, surely he should be looking to make it up to the wolves for last years disaster of a season.
Great player on his day, but he is too inconsistent a performer to me to play in such a key position, the match against the Albion showed that.
If someone offers 3m I’d rip their hands off
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee u am useless anyway
P.S. Wait for the ‘rats leaving a sinking ship’ comment…
Great News
Had a poor season last season. We have Edwards now, Davies, Gleeson and Henry - another who did not have a good season.
People laughed at me a few months ago about what he is worth in the current market. We will get £2 - 3 million for him. Bruce and Megson are known admirers. Get rid and get Gravesen!
…It was a really frustrating season for me and my performances were’nt always the best.’You can say that again George.I’ll be amazed if we get £3m for this guy.Come on Everton you’re always after our players get your cheque book out Moysey.
whats going on here? he recently stated he was looking forward to the coming season with us !!! anyway i won’t be too disappointed he’s going as his performances last year wern’t brilliant. for a big man he didn’t put himself about too much. perhaps now we can push the boat out and get Gravesen.
thats a shame, but lets bring in someone like ben watson from palace.
Dreadful News
Hope we don’t replace him with Jones.
With 30m to spend we are going backwards
Let him go the guys plays one good match in ten and not enough goals for me.
Hope he goes to Tesco Town as he wont perform in the Prem.
Mind you could they really afford him in Tesco Town..lol
Maybe if we let him go for £100k they might have a chance but will lose him if a BIG club comes in anyway.lol
Kiwiwolfffffffffff
Is it me…or is signing a contract a complete waste of time these days? Seems yet another of our “experienced” players is about to move on then. Still, £3 million (if we can get it!) would not be bad for one of last years underperformers, plus the fact that he is always away on International duty!
3 Million - all day long. Be amazed if any one comes in with that sort of bid but would glady accept what we paid for him. Dont think adds much to the team. Many poor performances last season.
Who are we going to get to beef up the back line is my worry
Well at least he won’t go on a free! As for all the express and star hype about him fighting for his position…..he was bordering on useless last season so if we can get good money then so be it! If his heart is not at the club then terrah for now. Lets get the centre half’s we require to shore up the defence and a couple of addition for the midifeld and forward line.
Keep the faith people!
Saw this one coming. Pity, but if he wants to go, let him. Don’t want players who won’t be committed to the club. Perhaps he wasn’t pleased at the rumours about midfielders coming in ? If the E&S is right (and I know that’s a big IF !!) Graveson from Celtic would be the ideal hardman in midfield for a couple of seasons - I reckon he’d last that long. Still need to chase Berra though and one other CB.
Any news on the mclean transfer any1
Be a huge loss. What a great servent his been for the club. Be sorley missed. Still could be light ata the end of the tunnel though.
“If offers come in, a lot of things would have to happen for me to leave.”
Sounds like he wont be going to Albion.
Perhaps the lack of signing quality players has forced him to enforce his option.
Good! Ca pass Ca run Ca tackle,get howard in from barnsley or try davies-both are much better. when was the last time he ran a game for wolves?
Midfield next year of kightly,jarvis,edwards,henry,davies,gobern + a battler and we’ll be laughin!
2 new centre halfs and a target man and we’ll be trading places with the baggies next year!!!!!! oh yes…….going up the mad mc nugget way!!!!!
This story comes as an article on the Wolves website says his big target is to get wolves promoted this season….. either he’s saying were better off without him or another false story for the E&S paper to help sales!!!!
If he wants to leave, then good luck, thank you and goodbye.
At 28years of age, the potential signing of David Jones and the growing experience of young David Edwards, would have put his place in jeopardy. A fully fit Mark Davies could be another factor ( hopefully )!
It probably is a good time for him to move and suit both parties.
one of the two holding mids has to make way for a attacking mid maybe we will score more without six defenders on the pitch all the best to him
a worrying number of exits appear on the cards… we certainly cant afford losses in the middle of the field.
whats going on ?
Why has he spoke to the press twice saying he wants to help wolves achieve promotion and that he’s not concerned by competition if we sign David Jones or another midfielder???
If you knew you were going anyway you should have just kept your mouth shut George!!
I take my comment back - its on the Wolves website now too! Seems he knew he couldnt help wolves to the Prem - took him 4 days to realise though!!!! All the best to him but what i still want to know is where are the signings (other than that of strikers!!!)
Despite what some may say, he has served us well and been loyal to the club. He knows that he was sometimes below par last season and has been honest and frank enough to admit it. In many ways, I shall be sorry to see him go but perhaps it is in both his interests and also the club’s that the break is made now. Good luck, Oli, and thanks for the four years you gave us.
Hoo ray!
Comes across as a nice bloke, done the honourable thing in signing a new contract to protect our investment and wish him luck. From a playing side too inconsistent and never fulfilled potential. £3m good deal.
Se la vie
Good Riddens you are with out doubt the most over rated player I have seen for some time. Potential is nothing if you dont fulfill it george and im afraid you have fulfilled nothing. Playing 1 go0d game in 5 is not good enough and i would snap somebodys hand of at 3 million.
Absolutely smashing bloke, but way too inconsistent, lets be real - can’t see us getting 3 million for him, maybe 2 million.
Buy a creative talent now!
what a day, oli wants to leave and albion are about to sign ameobi!! brilliant day
how mowbury (as mad terry wold spell it) how about offering us £3m for oli while your at it!!
GUYS WE WONT GET 3MIL FOR HIM. HE IS TOO INCONSISTENT….. 1.5PLUS PLAYER IS THE BEST WE WILL GET!
WATCH THIS SPACE!
MCLEAN SEEN AT COMPTON!
BYEEEEEEEE!!! MADE MY SUMMER
Great. Every other season he comes back from the African Nations Cup knackered and then is ineffectual for the rest of the season. Greatly over-rated and if we get £3million that would make it even better.
£3m for someone who spends a fair chunk of time on international duty?? Based on recent form the guy is not worth half that. Only reason that the club have accepted is that £3m would constitute football fraud on a massive scale. Hmm let me see £3m for ‘Seyi And-do-nothing’; Koren must be worth £7-8m on that basis.
totally disinterested in this.
if we get 3 million, ill be amazed.
sounds like bolton or wigan have made an approach to me, and all of a sudden all the “i want to help wolves get promoted nexy year” nonsense if forgotten.
on your way son.
Sorry to see you go Olly. I o nly wish some other players would show the same commitment as you over the last 4 years. By your own admittance you have not performed well this season, but I think you are not far form being a special talent. Good luck in the future, and thank you for being a gentlemen in your transfer. Its rare to see players care about the club they are leaving.
That gentlemans agreement was kept quiet wasn’t it ! Decent player but not too sad to see him go, good luck at furthering your career at massive clubs bolton or wigan ! Hope this isn’t the start of a mass exodus though. Like to see Brian Howard from barnsley at molineux
Good Luck George - IF we can get £3m for him - cant see us getting more than 2m as he hasnt really pulled up any trees in the Championship
Probably do better under a different manager who can bring the best out of players and man manage!
proper gentleman he was, and had his on and off games for us, last season inconsistent. but with new blood and incoming transfers, would he be garanteed a place? 3 million is an excellent deal, NOW BUY MICK!
any news on mclean any1
He summed it up himself when he said last season “I was below par and disappointing”.
He wasn’t alone! I think Seyi could be great on his day but unfortunately he never quite had enough of those for us. Maybe a move would be a good thing for both him and the club. At least he didn’t hold out to run off for a free. Good on him for not wanting to short change the club.
I wish him well, he’s a rare thing in the modern game, a gentleman.
sorry to see you go Oli. See like a real gentleman of a player, fair enogh to move on.
If we can get 3mil, how about putting in a bid of 4 mil for Ledley? We need to really strengthen that midfield (and defence, obviously).
We CANNOT afford to sell ebanks-blake though - the Everton rumours are gathering pace - we need a proven goalscorer who will do the business…
lets bring players in before letting players go barmy army
46, who? don maclean? i work nearly every day at compton and i can assure you that aaron maclean has not been to compton training ground. all the commenters slating olly ought to be ashamed of themselves, he has served us well so far and until he leaves he is still gold and black, it annoys the hell out of me when “fans” slate their own for no reason at all,
he was best part of useless all last season, now lets get jones from derby, thought hed be on his bike !
59, what garbage, he isnt good enough, how long has he been at wolves and he cant get us promoted, midfield general dont make me laugh he is a midfield fairy, about as imposing as a choclate fireguard, yes he has ability but like many fans have said 1 good game in 5 or 6 is not acceptable. Fair play about signing a new contract, however I bet the signing on fee was ok too.
Just in case potential buyers come on this site, can we please stop these negative comments.
WE DON’T WANT TO PUT ANYONE OFF !
Doubtless Moxey will price him out of a move then tell us that all the players we want to sign are too expensive!
YEP THAT’S ANOTHER OUT THE DOOR LMAO…BUT WHEN WILL THE ONE PERSON WE ALL WANT OUT THE DOOR BE GOING???
NEXT SEASON HAS DISASTER WRITTEN ALL OVER IT ALREADY..NO SUPRISE THOUGH EH! MOST OF US ARE USED TO IT BY NOW.
Why are some people slaughtering the guy? We all agree he was disappointing last season and £3m would be great business. But he was a good servant for 4 years and could have fled for nothing.
Brian Howard or Ben Watson should be absolute priorities to strengthen midfield. Moxey will never agree wages with Gravesen so that’s a non-starter.
All our news seems to be about exits. While other clubs are doing business and stealing a march we are, as ever, trying to screw down the last penny on deals. Did we have a £30million takeover?
61. i rest my case, thanks for substantiating my comment
3m thank you
with that money sign
gravesen, howard/jones
and a decent physio who can get davies fit or ditch him if he cant
£3 mil according to the press is what Plymouth are asking for Halmosi. I for one would jump at that swap. Joe Ledley for possibly a little more another good deal. Seyi’s £3mil could be very well used on either.
Up The Wolves
P.S.
On current form doubt we will get the money for him
£3m - ha we wouldnt get £300k based on last season - laughing all the way to the bank if we get anywhere near £3m
DONT SELL HIM HE’S THE BEST MID PLAYER WE HAVE YOU IDIOT!
sorry but i think he’s only worth bout 1 to 1.5mil
I hope this isn’t the start of things to come. Some of our better players are now getting tapped up to play in the premiership, who’s next?
Your welcome Nige wolf and your lack of response in the debate suggests that I am correct, thankyou! Any other issues you wish to discuss? Dont take up politics!!!!!!!!!!!!
on his day he is one of the best midfielders in our division, but he just didn’t do it enough… however i think his style of player would suit him well in the prem..
good luck, and thanks for signing a contract for fours years so we can aleast make some money from you!
KNOW, lets put a big chunk of that money plus extra if needed in a decent midfielder… no messing with lower divisions, someone with proven quality please…
I will be amazed if we get £3 million for him.IMO a vastly overrated player and one of the reasons we have not been promoted.
Fair play to Seyi at the end of the day.
He wants prem football,I personally dont think that he is prem class.
As the report says, he could have refused a new contract and walked away with a fat signing on fee.
no redge, just cant be bothered wasting my time on negative commenters
i was only reading on the website on fri about his ambitions with wolves for the new season !! ok then bbyyyeeee !
If the Boggies pay £3 mill for him wolves will be laughing all the way to the bank!
sorry have to disagree with most of the comments here. Dave Jones big signings in the championship were all players who could play in the premiership like Ince, Irwin and Seyi whose class, technique and balls skills are just too good for many of the players in our squad. Well done Seyi for not just walking away on a free and also to Moxey for getting him to sign a new contract.
A least we will recoup the fee we spent on him.
Good luck whichever club you go to as long as its 100 miles from sandwell.
Oh lets see how much we will miss him come august and what lower league crap MM brings in as a “replacement”. If MM is really serious about promotion he will need to bring in a experience midfield prem player and pay his wages.
You’d be mad to pay1 million never mind 3 million for a player who admits his own performances were below par last season!
Seyi will still be with us come the start of the season, if he plays very well he may be on his way in January, and….
if we’re 15 points clear at the top of the Championship!
Who’s Next ?
Is it just me or does it seem everyone wants to leave but nobody wants to come in. pull your finger out MM.
Worshipped for years, then all of a sudden he’s not good enough and he can go for £1m.
You sound like some of our fans. Its embarrassing.
Join the Mowbray revolution George, you know it makes sense…
Blimey It wasnt 5 minutes ago that George was “ready for a midfield battle”? Wonder what’s triggered this?
Offer him to Celtic for £1.7m + Gravesen?
This is just the start, watch Kightly, SEB and Hennessey follow. Another rebuilding process!!!
Where’s the MF and defender targets?
Oh, I forgot. We need another 4 strikers
Anyway, best of luck Seyi. You have finally realised the ambitions of this club…CCC top contenders at best, manufactured by Moxey in his comfort zone
Who would pay 3mill?! The would have to be some pretty poor scouts out there for that to happen
Oh well!! there goes the strength in midfield thats for sure!!!
He needs to join a premiership club, one that encourages good attacking free flowing footie. Look no further than your best buddies over at the Hawthorns - I reckon he would fit in just nicely………
This has been coming since the end of last season. Those who criticise MM should at least give him credit for knowing his players intentions. Any player is able to move whenever they want to, regardless of contracts, just look at the pantomime unfolding at Man U. For what it’s worth I think Oli is great on his day but he has too many off days. Give me Mark Davies any time. Good to see you back Sbba but this is our season all of the MM knockers will eat humble pie.
84. “worshipped for years” who by?? can tell you i wasnt one, im no football genius thats why i support wolves (yea yea before someone said it lol) but i think i know an attacking midfielder erm has to attack!!
tons of effort but poor execution! if albion think oli and greening in midfield will make a great premiership pairing than by all means take oli (i like greening by the way), if you can waste 2.5m on ameobi and 3m on luke moore, whats 3m for oli seems like a bargain to me!!!!
he is usless 3m will get us a decent cm like dj off derby for 1m pocket the rest use it on a striker and a defender like berra and another cb.
i thought he played very well last season to be honest,i cant see anybody in our current squad as good as him in midfield?its going to be a blow for us,i cant see players from other clubs banging on micks door wanting to come and play for us?but then its 3 million!….
i dont think the negative comments are very fair, he is a full international and has stuck by us when the clubs ambitions havent matched his own, hes a good player who will probably look better with better players around him, and at least he signed again for us so we get a fee for him, fair play to him for that
So Seyi is going to leave a gap in midfield….
…I wonder what Mark ‘Shabba’ Rankine is up to these days?
Olly decent bloke,, deserves a chance, if we get close to 3M then even better
All the best Olly!
There’s nobody leaving,” said McCarthy. “Steve and Jez have already said that so you may as well hear it from me.”
“Why would we want to sell anybody? It would be really counter productive.”
McCarthy told the club’s website: “We are trying to bring players in to strengthen the squad.
85…. probably realised he might have had a battle on his hands for a place in the starting line up if all the rumours are true…. and I have always been an Oli fan
92. I think its pretty clear that George is a defensive midfielder. Thats the impression I’ve always had anyway.
I wouldnt start him in front of RoKo and Jonno but IMO he’d be a decent option to have on the books. Better than Pele anyway!
The money spent on Ameobi and Moore will not be wasted, I think both will prove people wrong, especially Luke Moore. IMO he has real potential.
Decent player and honourable geezer. Best of luck Olly! I expect him to do well when playing with better players. Should not be sold for less than 3 million.
Those guys calling him useless really don’t know a lot about football. Watchers not doers.
Bye.
100. i know i think he is more defensive built than attacking,and twoddle had him playing as holding midfieler but for us under MM he has been an attacking midfielder. its only like potter werent a right winger lol we know he aint a central midfielder either but when he played there he and MM got slaughtered for him playing on RW.
but fact is oli has been our AM for 2 seasons now and in my eyes contributed nothing.
perhaps that may be one of the reasons he wants to leave i dont know, might be yet another case of square peg in round hole scenario. if he had played holding midfielder and we had a decent AM then perhaps oli wouldnt get the stick he does. his passing capacity is very limited, little sideways passes abit like an defensive midfielder would, but not defense splitting passes!
perhaps im a bit harsh on him, but like i said he as been the attacking force from CM and provided nothing and on that basis he aint good enough!!
ship,rat,sinking, aye boing boing
On a general note and not getting at Oli specifically, but football has got to be in a sorry state when stopping at the same club for just 4 years is now considered ‘loyal’!
It will do no harm to have a complete change of personnel in centre midfield-our goals for tally last season confirms this. How about Garvan from Ipswich? Out of contract in 12 months time so we could possibly pick up a bargain!
For all of you that are getting fed up waiting for signings - may I remind you that it is only 23rd June and most players/agents/staff are probably still away on hols, not many other clubs have made many signings either! Wolves are well known for not announcing anything until the deal is done, there is 2 months left on the transfer window and I for one am willing to wait and see who EVENTUALLY joins us, probably some of whom will not even have been mentioned in connection with us. I also don’t believe e-b, kights or hennessey will leave despite the papers trying to sell copies to people desperate for transfer news! There, I feel better now
There’s something brewing at Wolves with all this unrest. Never quite lived up to the “Viera of the Championship” tag. But c’est la vie.
i think next season will be our time because all the team will pull together well and there will be no big egos in the club and were all going forward together. We needed to get rid of players such as freddy and seyi because they were dividing the fans and possibly the team so this is such good news up the wolves
JUST A FEW POINTS TO MAKE 1. SELL OLI FOR £3M WONDERFUL NEWS HE AINT WORTH £3.00. 2. MOXEY HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME REF: PAUL INCE . DID YOU SAY HE WASN’T EXPERIENCED ENOUGHT. 3 . WHY IS MM STILL IN A JOB. 4 WHY IS JM STILL IN A JOB. STEVE MORGAN SORT IT OUT OR YOU SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR STATUS AT THIS CLUB
Terry my old friend…. that’s pretty low even from you !!
Not exactly a positive bit of news. One of our few experienced players in his prime and we lose him.
Not impressed !
Not a great Oli fan, but yet another reason
not to re-new my season ticket. Until more
postive news comes out of Molineux.
Maybe Mowbray,s ugly and can,t talk right,
but he knows players who play footie. Take note
MM.
That’s the price Wolves must pay for their continnual inabilty to get promotion.The good players want to play in the premiership-that’s understandable.It’s up to the management to show that they really mean business.Not through scrapping the reserve team.etc.
Not A great Oli fan, another reason not to
renew my season ticket, only when more positive
quality signings come in.
114,nobby,i wish we had a super model manager aye boing boing going up the MOWBURY WAY AYE AYE
anyway, back to Phyllis and her cats
Thank God! Let us hope that a bid comes in for him and that we will sign a crafty playmaker who can pick a pass!
Byee Seyi,
at times you were our best player, YOU should be the best midfielder in the Championship by far. Instead you were far to inconsistent, and last season you were well below your best !
All the same, you always tried to serve the club well, so thanks for your efforts, and all the best in any new club.
Anyone remember Dennes Rosa ??
wheres the moxley out chants?
He’s been tapped up.

If i was wolves i would get W.HOOLAHAN , T.GRAVESON , D.JONES and C.BERRA STRAIGHT AWAY !! 1 of those STRIKERS listed above , at least another 2 DEFENDERS ( including berra ) and at LEAST ANOTHER WINGER to cover kightly or jarvis if they get injured ( including hoolahan ) !!
Preferably M.GRADEL as he is a quality player had a craking season at bournmouth last season and is probably better than kightly and jarvis put together !!
Have a look the coloured chap on the wing for bournmouth for ( SAM VOKES GOALS ON YOUTUBE ) CRAKING PLAYER !!
GET THEM IN QUICK MICK !! UP THE WOLVES !!
Clear off then and take MM and JM with you. What did Blackburn see that the Wolves ownership didn’t ? Ive got a bad feeling about next season.
Its been the same every year that JM has been here,pre season spin ‘possible targets’ ‘potential targets’ then nothing. What fools do you think we are.
These young lads who are coming through the ranks, must wonder if they will ever get a chance, all the club wants to do is buy players, what about the development of our own local players. Im sure they would be more loyal to the club than some of these cash hungry lot we have now.
Yet another player whom Wolves signed who looks good now and then, has the potential, but it just never really happens on a regular basis, if only, nearly, maybe, we have had looooads of them over the years. Bye Olofinjana, we really won’t miss you to be honest
No player is bigger than a club, Olli has served us well, last season not as good as previous but i believe he tried his best. If he stays this year we will see a much improved performance.
If Olli goes i say good luck to him.
On a second note nothing to do with this article. Go get em Ince Good Luck in the next step of your managerial career. Wish you had got the job at Wolves. I’ll never forget what you did for us Thank You.
If they get £3m for him that could be a great bit of busines. We have so many young midfielders in this squad so the competition is already there without Seyi. All the best to him, will be interesting to see how he fairs in the Prem.
How about Nobby Solano in midfield?he’s a free agent after being released by west ham,sure he’s getting on a bit but would still be able to do a decent job down molineux.I still can’t get my head around why McCarthy wants to sign all these strikers,god knows what formation he wants to play next season.Sort the defence out first Mick.Good shout for Gravesen from Celtic by the way.
Come on wolves get it sorted.
Very disappointed because he is one of our most gifted players who said he would stay; as a fellow Christian, it makes me wonder? - but on we go!
Big Wolf what’s with all the players and prices, you been spending too much time on football manager!
Bye bye Seyi, can’t say you’ll be missed, a big bloke who’s scared to put a foot in, can’t play the simplest of passes and makes luca toni look good in front of goal!! 3mil?? that’s funnier than the 5mil valuation of McLean.
A fit Mark Davies next season would be like a new signing if stubborn Mick played him
Good business all round !! We can easily replace him but wish him all the best !! Must say thanks for not doing a camara and sulking his way out !! See ya George !!
not upset he can go for anything above 2m, like ive said before can be the best player in the league when he wants but not consistant enough. lets go for brian howard now or gavin mccann if bolton would let him go?
Fair play to the guy for signing a new contract but if we get 3 million for him Jez Moxey should be given the key to city. Theres no way hes worth that much.
o seyi wants to go-looks like the muppet actually believes what MM has said about him being the best midfielder outside of the prem-if we can get £3million for him I would snap their hands off!once he gets in the prem he will just be Mr average.
awful news, our most talented player by a mile. no.1 you have lost the plot, you6 want to replace our senior international midfield player with a bloke from barnsley who just avoided relegation and had 1 good game at liverpool im glad our match of the day scouts are just really supporters a pathetic comment. so far dave edwards and karl henry in the middle of the park spells mid table.
petty bore 117
I was actually praising your manager. (Err my Brain Hurts.)
GET THOMAS GRAVESON IN .. BID £1.5M AND GET HIM AT MOLINEUX ..
HE WOULD BE THE NEXT INCE DOWN AT WOLVES .. WHO GIVES A STUFF ABOUT HIS WAGES .. WE HAVE NEEDED SOMEONE LIKE HIM SINCE INCE RETIERED .. HAS THAT URGE TO WIN AND HARD BATTLER AND WONT GIVE UP !!
GET HIM IN .. WOULD BE A GREAT BUY !!
UP THE WOLVES !!
News just in ? Abrahamovich is gonna offer Essien + £5m for Seyi lol. Gravesen is ideal, said for ages we need a midfield general. Let Seyi go.
He considers himself to be an attacking mid-fielder, but with our dire defence he has had to become a defending mid-fielder, and that accounts for his scoring rate last season.
It was down to clueless Mick yet again! I think George’s move is down to that as much as money. He doesn’t want another season like the last one. Neither do the supporters, which is why season ticket sales are way down on last season.
Once target of wolves Alan gow cant get in the rangers side. attacking midfielder would not be a bad signing £400.000 fill the centre of midfield a bargain i think he’s only 25.
I suppose if Morgan paid all of £10 for the club…this has to be good business for him.
123 - may as well put a couple of quid on the lottery !
On a serious note, not happy about Mr Moyes of the city of Liverpool’s 2nd team commenting that 5m was overpriced for SEB… he got a bargain in Lescott, 5m and he must be worth at least 10m now ! Hands off SEB.
Lets keep Everton scouts out of our ground unsettling our players - Moxey: please read.
Priority signings in my opinion:
2 solid central defenders.
1 midfield “general” - we need someone hard as nails.
1 striker to complement EB as long as we offload those that didnt hit the mark.
We have competition in the squad in all other areas.
Dave Edwards is a better player. £3m is extortionate for this guy and Moxey knows it.
It will seem wierd now as George was automatically in the starting 11, and i dont see why people are pleased. He has served this club terifically and never made it as a fan favourite, yet he is if not the best holding midfielder in this league.
All we need now for experience is clinton morrison on a free, ian harte on a free, berra for 2mill and another midfielder and defender.
Also keep the one and only Eastwood !!!
All the best George.
Bit different from the headline 4 days ago. Friday 20th June 2008 at 3.20pm. “Seyi ready for midfield battle” & how he described he was relishing the tussle with Dave Edwards, Mark Davies etc etc. Wonder if he knows who are targets are & its frightened the “old black shorts” off him. Would love to get 3mil for a player who has never lived upto the ‘Viera’ of the CCC???
Good riddance to a mediocre performer.£3m.take the money and run.MM proving how astute he is?I don`t think so, more like proving yet again how clueless he is.Hey MM, is there no players at Sunderland on their way to you?Don`t matter about their ability as long as they look after you.
Ince will be in for George - according to Sky Sports news this morning - Clinton Morrisson available on a free transfer - Moxey’s ears will be standing to attention
Who’s next out the revolving door at the Mol???
Looks like Paul has been tapping before he got the job, We certainly missed out on this guy BIG TIME. He must know how to get the best out of Seyi
Where others have failed.
Beat E&S to their announcement this morning - but they still have not picked up on the Morrisson thing yet - George would be a good signing for Ince as he could help develope him as a player - its a shame the same cant be said for MM - But hey at least Mick taught the lad what it means to put in a “shift”
Dont be surprised if Wolves go in for Clinton Morrisson on a free transfer

Have you had a self awareness by-pass. You’re the one that spent most of last close season posting on our site about ‘rats leaving sinking ship.’ Out of 151 posts so far very few from Baggies and the only one to mention a sinking ship is Terry who’s done it to wind you up.

Is that the Howard Jones that had a hit with ‘what is love’ in the 80s.
Too many people knock our players and then wander why they want to leave. In Seyi’s case it’s probably that another international player has had words with him and told him to move up as soon as he can because he ain’t getting any younger. Whilst he may not have a great game every game, which one of us can say that we perform to our highest standard of work, day after day after day? Your real sentiment is known when you then go on to say ..” who are we going to get to replace him now..?”.
He’s an international player and the important bit - on his day a match for anyone! He’s also a very pleasant guy if you’ve ever met him off the field.
I wish him all the best and at least we can use the money we get from his sale to get a comparable unknown, as he was when he came to us.
153 Dont kid yourself - Players move on for money and better terms
If every player took much notice of fan power most of Newcastles team would have walked a long time back!
You conveniently forget when the same Wolves fans cheered the lads on even when we were getting thrashed by Saints at home - So how does your logic apply then?
George has every right to move on like any other employee - Dont get on the Moxey and MM - Blame the fans band wagon - Its just convenient/ lame excuse for failure and not getting promoted!
om yer bike oli you did more dreaming than dribbling only problem is I dont think anybody will want you.Can keogh the lightweight come with you please!!!!!
I don’t know what’s behind Oli saying he’s looking forward to playing for Wolves one day, and us being told he’s moving on four days later. But at least consider the possibility he was sincere when he said he wanted to stay, and Wolves pushed him. After all, Jez Moxey knew what was in the contract.
All we’ve got is what Moxey told us. He’s a born mean accountant and probably wants to get his mitts on that £3m to help him buy. He can’t admit it though, can he, because he and MM have been telling us all for two months that Wolves are not going to sell?
Whatever the truth is, I’m not too concerned about this. I think Oli is a good athlete and an intelligent player, but sometimes he is too slow making up his mind and holds up quick-breaking attacks. Also, he is often too tardy getting away his shots.
I think both Oli and Wolves need a change. Good luck to him! I hope another coach can jazz him up a bit. And I hope Wolves can replace him with someone, whether from within or without, who is faster on the uptake and faster on his feet.
Shut up, Wolfie! You’re an obsessive nut case when it comes to Keogh! Trapatoni really rates him. What are you trying to do–drive out one of our most talented players?
goodluck to him if he wants out but the same old story with the good players wanting out no ambition by club or player.long live S.BULL
waste of space - get as much as we can for him and let him rot in the premership
ps we would have sold him any way if we got up,he isnt that good.
