Whilst I feel we need another good central defender (as we have for two years now) we should not be held to ransom. If it’s not going to happen lets move on to the next young and hungry target.

I agree, lets not get sucked in to this just beacuse everyone now knows we have money.

Who else have you been linked with defensively?

I can’t remember anyone else off the top of my head, but I suppose you weren’t linked with Stearman until he’d actually signed were you?!

It seems strange to me that you’re constantly linked with Strikers when all of your fans are crying out for a Centre back and Berra’s the only 1 you’re publicly linked with…..unless I’ve missed it?!

if nothing happens i think a.gardner from spurs would come for 2m & would be just as good if not better, dont forget look at what standerd berra’s been playing at.

Iwelumo would be good. what you think?

Lets stop mucking about here. Granted we dont want to be golden tits but if we are squabbleing over the odd half a million, lets not, get them in now and lets get the ground running in our pre-season games.

McLean, Berra and 1 extra midfield would be nice.

Agree with 2 stop haggling and get Berra signed
up,its the good players we need to get out of
the championship and he is.

Being publicly linked is irrelevant. Doesn’t mean nothing is going on behind the scenes. In addition before impatience sets in, the season starts in 5 weeks time and the transfer window doesn’t close until 31st August.

Whether or not we get Berra, I still think we will get a loan signing from a big premier club, but most of them haven’t even started pe-season yet.

Keep the faith

2. Eddie, it has probably NEVER happened in reality – just in the pages of the press and on message-board rumours. Deals get done if they’re there to be done, that’s the reality, and if only we’d start to realise this there’d be a lot less heartache and whinging…

Report abuse

Should we be off loading some strikers BEFORE we start getting them in??? Is Berra the ONLY choice of centre half; and what about the “international scouting network” What are they doing?

Ah well Its Pant wetting season again!

Report abuse

IMO we have no hope of going up whoever we buy.MM does not seem to realise the problem last year was not the attack but a lack of creativity in midfield and playing with two wingers does not help.If I remember correctly Bothroyd mentioned this in an interview with the Star.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THE STRYKERS?

I still think we are a centre midfield hard man short. Infact, i know we are. I wouldn’t exactly be scared of karl henry running towards me in a 50/50 would you!? Or infact any of our midfielders. Can’t Mick see this?

NIGEWOLF..AS MUCH AS I RESPECT OUR OPINIONS, YOU CAN SEE WHY I DON’T GET EXCITED VERY MUCH LATELY. LOOKS LIKE YOUR MOLINEUX INSIDER HAS BEEN GIVING YOU FALSE IMFORMATION AGAIN. DID HE NOT GUARENTEE YOU BERRA WOULD BE A WOLVES PLAYER BY THE END OF TODAY!!!

FORGET THE HAPPY CLAPPING MATE AND JOIN THE REALISTS..GET EXCITED WHEN THERE’S SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. THEN YOU’LL BE MOSTLY NEGATIVE LIKE ME LMAO.

HEY ABDON..GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK MATE..STILL NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT THO’ I’M AFRAID.

21 – Robert Perry is my Porn Star name….you’re my hero!

15 – I understand that, but usually being linked with players gives a good indication as to where you’re looking to get players in, and a lot of the time they turn out to be true.
I agree, there will be things going on behind all clubs doors that the press won’t know about, but it was an open question to all of you lot in orange if there was anyone else I’d missed that you lot had been linked with, as it seemed awfully quiet in regards to centre backs…..apart from Berra.

1 Wolves wolves i can’t believe you can be brainwashed by propaganda “young and hungry” makes me laugh how naive some of you are. We need quality thats all nothing else all the signings are risks. The only quality signing made was SEB. SOUTH BANK i’m starting to think your right. WE ARE DESPERATE FOR QUALITY CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS.

Report abuse

I would very much like someone like Berra here but I still think that Elokobi, Little and Lee Collins could play there and we should use Daniel Jones more. It is no good keep loaning out players. If they are good enough play them irrespective of age. Look at Keith Lowe, who has been loaned everywhere.

Report abuse

We definitely need another central defender or, if we switch Elokobi or Little there, a wide defender. I agree with Bill (12). We shouldn’t even be thinking of McLean at that price until we’ve got a viable defence. With the present squad, a couple of injuries and we’re up the creek defensively. I’m not sold on Berra as such, but someone, please, Jez!

By the way, many people are saying the transfer market has been quiet, but just look at these stats (I can supply the names too):
Summary of total signings by Championship clubs from 1 May to noon on 4 July:
Derby 8, Barnsley 5, Burnley 4, Crystal Palace 4, Swansea 4, Blackpool 3, QPR 3, Southampton 3, Wolves 3, Cardiff 2, Charlton 2, Coventry 2, Ipswich 2, Norwich 2, Notts Forest 2, Plymouth 2, Sheff Utd 2, Birmingham 1, Bristol City 1, Doncaster 1, Preston 1 and Sheff Wed 1.
Players: 58
Clubs active: 22 (92%)
Clubs active more than once: 17 (71%)
Clubs active 3 times or more: 9 (38%)
Clubs active 4 times or more: 5 (21%)
Clubs active 5 times or more: 2 (8%)
Clubs active 7 times or more: 1 (4%)
Clubs not active yet: 2 (Reading, Watford)

I’m not criticizing Wolves here–I think David Jones is one of the best signings of the summer by any club. But just don’t think other clubs have been quiet!

32. And your purpose in life is? Look mate, I’m goping to give you some advice, I think you’ve lost your passion for the game, it happens, but while you need to do all that ‘going away to find yourself’ can you please refrain from inflicting your anguish on others. You don’t HAVE to buy your season ticket, you don’t HAVE to go to the games. If you don’t like what you see then don’t watch it. Its not a difficult thing to work out, then again

Yawn.

On another note, who do you think our leader on the pitch is this season?

14. Yes it’s me – I work on the pier at Paignton. I do the fortune telling there. Here’s a prediction – MM will sign two more strikers no more defenders and Wolves will still be the lowest scorers in the division but won’t concede many. 0-0s a plenty. Roll up, roll up all the fun of the fair!! 50p a go!!

40 – Change the record – Nice One! Couldnt agree more. Sadly 46, realistwolves, the south bank minority are very vocal and theres a fair few near me in the north bank too.
To get back on thread though, we need Berra, even speaking as a “happy clapper”, Im flumoxed by the new contract awarded to Collins. Hes far too inconsistent for this league. Stearman looks a great signing, lets trust in Mox & Mick to do the deal with Hearts & Berra.

48 Sarcasim accepted, i’m just sick of hearing that term”young and hungry”. We must have signed 15 players plus in 3 years i would have prefered 4 quality signings and used our youth system.

I sit in the South Bank, and am getting sick of all the moaners. I went to Chorley and remember how bad things used to be! All those calling for Mick’s head obviously think that the last 25 years have all been a blur. If we keep changing Manager we will keep our status year after year, and only sticking with someone will pay the dividend in the end. My patience has been tested in recent years, under Mick as well – we all know the Neil Collins is a cart horse and we all hope and prey one day we will find our next Lescott, however, I am optimistic this year as we are trying to sign good players with a future, and we have held on to our best players.

I agree with getting rid of Freddie, Elliot and Bothroyd. I agree with getting rid of Potter and Ward, but we have to bring in players at the back, and I would like to see us shore up the back. We also have the fortune of arguably having the 2 best goalkeepers in the league, who’s number 1?
Bring it on and lets welcome Incy to Molineux, without giving the idiots who want to replace MM a voice. Good luck Mick prove the twits wrong.

Up the Wolves

Report abuse

someone near the top of the post said they’d seem berra in a few matches for Hearts and he was class, then (or someone else) added, throw 2.5 million ‘that should get him’, then another said we shouldn’t be missing out for the sake of a paltry £400,000 (err, in my world that little difference alone amounts to about 1,100 Wolves season tickets, before wages and agents fees and the rest). I grew up watching a ‘class player’ called Peter Zelem playing for Chester. We didn’t miss out on HIM, but he famously didn’t look so class at Wolves’ level. Trust the professionals (we have to) not to waste OUR ticket money.

Our own top-striker last season was Rosa, goals scored for other clubs don’t count in my reckoning because they were under a different manager and playing system.

So what is going to happen to Rosa. There is no reserve team next season, and I don’t that he made the bench last season.

This is a class player with international experience, he did well against the England international team when he played against us.

Is he going out on loan? Anybody heard any news that I’ve missed? I must confess that I like this guy, and I think that we have not used his talents wisely.

Report abuse

David Jones has flair and creativity, Wolves (52), probably more than Koren.

Re strikers, I prefer Andy Keogh played behind the strikers, but Andy is often classified as a striker–IMHO, a very talented player.
I would like another signing, yes! But don’t exaggerate–we’ve got Sam Vokes and Stephen Ward in addition to Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.

And that’s not counting Stephen Elliott and Jay Bothroyd, whom, as yet, we have not succeeded in selling (not to mention Freddy Eastwood).

As for Stephen Ward, we’ve seen him mainly as winger and never fully fit. What would a fully fit Stephen Ward be like in the middle up front?

If we buy another striker–great! But right at the moment that would mean we have eight! Even with eight strikers, if the present defence is not bolstered, we probably face a relegation battle!
