I know that a section of fans will be upset by this rumour, but as I keep explaining, it is inevitable.
The lad has ambition, he could be one of the all-time greats. He needs a Premiership platform.
This news may start a bidding war, as we know that other clubs are interested.
This is all the Wolves fans can expect while the clubs financial model is based on the Championship.

Manchester City’s Gary Breen.
Is there really 2 of them, or is this just one almighty mistake
Report abuse
If wayne goes, I GO. It will prove once and for all that the regrime at Wolves under the guidence of MOXEY, ARE A SELLING CLUB. When will these idiots learn that the PAYING SUPPORTERS can only take so much abuse. ONLY MONEY MATTERS AT WOLVES, and if this turns out to be true, how much more proof do we need??
Report abuse
What did Morgan say yesterday, we are NOT selling our best players.
Anyway our best keeper is back next season. As much as i like Hessessey, he’s no Matt Murray.
Report abuse
Of course it hurts in our hearts if we once again sell one of our really good former Wolves Academy lads, but with Murray fit and a couple of other decent keepers in the squad, it is actually no huge problem when it comes to results. With Murray fit Hennessy are doomed playing with the reserves a couple of years and then being sold to a much lower price. If it wasnt all this ifs about Murray I would say: Sell him if the price is right and buy a decent central midfielder for the money.

Lighten up, Wolves fans – this is a RUMOUR, and one that’s been doing the rounds for a while anyway. We’ve got some good players – of course there’ll be rumours about them. Just don’t pay too much attention – we’ll hear the same sort of stuff about Kites and SEB for sure, and maybe some others…
P.S. Baggies, I don’t think you’re a big enough club for Gary Breen!

The rumours concerning three Wolves players is inevitable as even if we make the play-offs there are still 3 matches to win before the Premiership can be considered.
How ironic then that Mick’s stubborness has come back to haunt him again last night – 2 goals for a certain Welshman at The Bescott Stadium. Were the 2 goals because of a lower level club he was playing against, or a player who will always score if given the opportunity for a full 90 minutes ?

Reality Check everyone.
All football clubs are selling clubs at the right price except an elite group of about 6 clubs at the top of Europe.
Even mid table premiership clubs struggle to hold onto their players when the big clubs come sniffing. We just have to make sure we get the right price if stupid offers come along.
If you want to blame someone blame Mick for not getting us up.
Report abuse
why not Hennessey to the hawthorns as kiely is not for the premier and TM obviously does not fancy Danek we could also take Kightly who is now fit and would be a good addition, but good luck to the wolves anyway how good would it be for the midlands for the blues to stay up, us and stoke to go up and wolves through the playoffs, match of the day would hate it having to talk about “THE MIDLANDS ?”

2. villa to sign cudicini
3. villa to sign hennessey
good paper stories, obvisouly they are all guessing
as to hennessey if you offer me 4m + murray being fit i would bite your hand off, well done to the youth team for producing these talents and we could maybe buy 2 solid centre halfs and decent centre midfielder for 4m
seems to easy doesnt it
oh yes mad mick could buy another 17strikers with 4m

33. funny!!! if i were you assuming your an albion fan, if you were to decide to put premier league badges on the arms of your shirt. use velcro because then when you come back down (i know you albion fans are cheap i.e cheap ticket prices to fill ground etc) you can just put the championship badges back on then, saves you having to buy a new shirt!!! ohhh and another thing when the top smells of mothballs (because when you start losing! the shirts will be hanging in the wardrobe for ages) just wash it!!

38 & 39.. If that rumour is true that’ll be a mighty blow for the Baggies. One of their premier class stars gone. You’ve then got to ask the question if one goes, how many more will follow ? (and I’m not ‘avin a go…just askin the question !)
Report abuse
We are always going to have clubs looking at our YOUNG players like the Villa who have a top academy – that is why we are the most successful clubs in the region.It pains me to say it as I dislike Villa more than the tescos.
Anyway if Murray was back and fit, there are only 4 or 5 in the Premier better than he is!
Don’t get wound up by the clowns. Sign 3 or 4 next season with the young kids back and we will be a match for most!
Report abuse
Gera rumour?straight from an insider at the club ,he is staying as long as we got promoted so he maybe off if we lose 13 0 at the weekend. Dream on dingles keep clutching at them straws the nightmare in sandwell is we, are going up we are going up.

6?
Who’s counting??!! It’s seemed like so many!
Glorious pieces of individual skill and determination that have enabled Zolly to stand head-and-shoulders above all others in this division; and on-par with many in the Prem.
If he can get a big money deal at a ‘bigger’ club (and by that I mean one either in Europe or with a REAL chance of making Europe in the short-term) then good for him – he’s more than earned it.
But if he decides to stay with us – which isn’t what his UK agent has said – then I for one will be delighted to see him in the Prem next season.

22. wolveswolves
One of the few sensible comments, whether you support, Villa, West Brom, Blues, Walsall,Real Madrid or my club Wolves every player has there price, Wayne may well leave Wolves, Gareth Barry could leave Villa and Zoltan Gera may still leave the baggies. This is the reality of modern football, I dont think Wolves, Villa or Albion need the money to stay in business but if a club offers £5m for Wayne Hennesey or £15m for Barry or £5m for Gera chances are these players will leave.
Its not because Jez Moxey is a bad Chief executive and while he runs the club the club wont develop or progress, or Aston Villa lack ambition or because Zoltan Gera is a greedy mercenary. Its because every player and I mean every player has their price and sometimes it just makes good business sense.
Its about time people realise this.

32 – Thanks for the link. Tend to agree with others, not keen on the home kit if the colouring really is as “peachy” as it seems. In reality it will probably be OK. Hey, I can live with it if all goes well on Sunday!

26 michael who is the one who needs to grow a brain, so Kightly could have gone to man U then why didn’t he, because he thought wolves to be the better option?, hennessey could go to any premier club again then why hasn’t he ? if were going down the could have lines, if mad Mick could have signed better players you could have made it up, if he could have more money you could have signed more has beens, if steve morgan would have waited he could have bought a real football club like liverpool who he was originally after, and to think i wished wolves good luck in the play offs, with bitter and twisted no brainers like you supporting the wolves i think i might take it back

Is Gera bettering his career if he moves to Boro??? The truth is I very much doubt it!
As for Hennessy, I hope he does move to the prem as we obviously like scoring goals against him.
I nearly £&£& my pants when i heard breen was on the way……..until i realised he wasn’t our esteemed wolves friend.
Anyway, he is still trying to catch up with Kevin Phillips somewhere…
As for your new shirt wolves fans, its a bit tight isnt it……Your ‘nice boy’ kighly will look oh so nice (if he stays)

54 – back to the old attendances eh ??
That makes norwich the biggest club in the championship – MORON !
Michael – I expect no less, and wonder why i bother but here goes…
I recall no one saying “get rid” of gera – why would we ? TM made a policy of moving on players who wanted to go – whoever they were… gera would have been the same.
HE has made no secret of his desire to play in the prem and now may / may not do that with us (but at least he has the choice).
As for your new strip – yes i believe in comes in small, medium, large, extra large, Hartson and they have done a one off xxxxL for SEB (which will be used as a flag if he moves on).

1. You call yourself “Accountant Wolf” but your post is devoid of any figures or analysis of any description. The man that matters, Steve Morgan, has told us that he’s not going to sell and has even said were in a strong financial position and that signings will be made. Pardon me but I believe the multi-millionaire businessman running the club more than I believe you.

Fact. Hennessey has been on Baggies radar for months in case we went up. Expect a move v soon after season finishes if Wolves dont make promo via play offs. Pele apparantley will go the other way as it looks like Olifanjani is on his way to Lord Gary Megsons lot !

Why worry about your club selling players? Look at the Albion at the end of last season – all the so-called stars left (for excellent prices negotiated by the Chairman,not an ex-Stoke Chief Executive, eg £6m for Diomansy Kamara – what a steal!), the money was used to good effect by a good manager, and Albion have still gained promotion.
Of course , you need a good chairman and manager to do that….
