Friend set for Bristol City loan
Wednesday 22nd July 2009, 11:00AM BST.
Wolves left-back George Friend is set to join Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan from the Premier League club.
The 21-year-old is expected to join the Robins some time after the friendly between the two clubs at Ashton Gate this Saturday.
Friend impressed on Wolves’ pre-season tour of Australia, playing in both games against Perth Glory and North Queensland Fury.
But he is behind fit-again George Elokobi, Stephen Ward and former City full-back Matt Hill in the current pecking order at left-back.
A move to send Friend out on loan is no surprise, as his chances of regular Premier League football seem remote at the moment.
The temporary transfer brings Devon-born Friend closer to his West Country roots, having joined Wolves from Exeter in August 2008.
A month ago, Friend said he would probably be loaned out to a Championship club and Bristol City have now stepped in to offer him the chance of first team football at Ashton Gate.
Friend played six games in Wolves’ Championship-winning campaign as he played second fiddle to first Ward, then Hill, as Elokobi sat out the rest of the season after damaging his cruciate knee ligaments in August.
Now the Molineux prospect will compete with new arrival Andre Blackman from Portsmouth and first-choice Jamie McAllister at City, while he will also vie for Michael McIndoe’s left-wing berth after the former Wolves man’s move to Sheffield United fell through.
Good in the air, strong and quick, Friend is a useful man to have and can do more than a decent job at wide left, as he proved in the away games at Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday during Wolves’ promotion-winning season.
City were seeking cover at left-back, after being forced to play midfielder Cole Skuse and centre-back Liam Fontaine there last season.

A good move for the lad. It will be funny if he keeps McIndoe out of the team

more concerned about Doyle to be honest.

so were actually in a weker position than when the season finnished with our current injuries? never known a club like ours when we can loose half a team in pointless freindlies!!
Report abuse
Shocking decision to be honest- he produced some excellent displays on the left wing last season only to be replaced by clueless Ward. He has height, strength and pace and would give us a different option going forward.
If Elokobi is injured or not up to the Prem then we are in big trouble with Ward or Hill as backup. Ward was terrible for countless games before Hill came back in.

Good experience for him to play consistently at that level.

I’m getting concerned

Bob Wolf – where is your sense of optimism? Who else in the premiership bottom half have made significant signings? Not many teams is the answer and I think we can definitely compete in terms of staying up.
There’s no denying we’re going to face a big challenge but I can’t wait, think we have made some decent signings and when Mancienne signs on for a season long loan and we get in another striker I think we will be in decent shape.
If you begrudge spending £700 then take your ticket back for a refund.
I’m sure there would be many excited wolves fans glad to take your place and cheers on the lads.
Stop being such a pessimist – talk about reinforcing a stereotype of our fans.

12) I am sure that you were one of the fans that were saying that we were going to blow it. Now you are having a go at our signings. On what basis is Halford useless and since when has an experienced keeper like Hahnemann not been up for it? Doyle and Sylvan will be a good partnership, Surman is another quality youngster and Milijas I think will be a quality performer. Zubar we will have to wait and see but is strong and has pace.
Where in the ground have you paid £700? I am fairly certain they are not even that in the Billy Quiet!
Report abuse
Bob Wolf…..get a life, you haven’t got a clue mate. Surman is class already, Milijas is captain of his national team, Doyle out for just 2 weeks (precautionary operation). You only think Zubar is own-goal prone from You-tubing him after another negative ‘fan’ mentioned it (and between doing your Freemans catalogue on-line shopping). Halford….useless….what led you to this informed conclusion? Oh that’s right, you made it up. Crawl back under your stone misery guts and just come out to cash your Giro every now and again.

Bob Wolf, please can you just confirm why Halford is “useless”. If you are prepared to say something as damning as that, you must have evidence. This is a message to anyone like Bob Wolf and Wolves Mod etc, at the start of one of the biggest seasons in our history, can you imagine if the players came on here and read the pointless unfounded drivel spoken by certain posters, when you say players who have not yet played for us are useless? Let us be honest, we are going to lose a lot more matches than we win this season and with support like yours, we may as well just give up now

They should just stop this comments board. Its full of pathetic comments.
How do you know players will score own goals, Unproven?? Will maybe he will become proven. Getting bus pass – Didnt hear Villa fans saying that about brad.

10) Erm he is one of Micks boys, he signed him. As for MD, he didnt want to be at wolves even tho we looked after him injured – we got good money for a injury prone kid
12) the usual misinformed sweeping statements from you again! Doyle is out for a couple of weeks. Milijas is an unknown quantity i agree but comes with good pedigree. Have you even seen Surman play to say he’s not ready. Halford was a stand out champ player last year and was far from useless ask any blades fan, they are gutted to lose him. Zubar has just come out of the first team at Marseille, find me a defender who hasnt scored own goals!!!!
This prem experience you crave, you’ll be moaning if we get players like Butt saying past it, or Barton is a trouble maker. No pleasing you ay, just go and support Tescos and be done with it.

Bob Wolf – why bother buying a ticket then. The club really does not need your sort of negativity. I appreciate that we are all entitled to our opinions but some of yours are unfounded. How do you know so much about our new signings on who is ready? (is Friend ready? – you seem to think so!) on who is useless etc etc. Maybe you should go and do some scouting for the club since you know so much about the game? Yes we will struggle next year just like most promoted teams but what we don’t need is supporters like you. Bore Off
Report abuse
Bob wolf, I pity the poor s*ds sat next to you at a game. If you’re that miserable, don’t buy a ticket, no ones forcing you to watch. Wolves need supporters, not fools who voice their dismissive views on the team.

I too remember that Birmingham game, as well as outstanding performances from Friend at Palace and Sheff Wednesday. And what happens? Ward comes back into the team despite his woeful performances on the wing.
Same with Daves Jones – falls out with Mick and is dropped and we struggle, finally comes back in and we start retaining the ball and winning games!!
Report abuse
Why is everybody still being so negative! I think the signings have all been good, Doyle is a minor op and he will be out for two weeks – he will score goals. Zubar is highly regarded. Milijas is a current international. Hahnemann will be crucial experience and if Hennessey starts off a little shaky ideal to put in. Surman is a quality youngster. I think we will sign a couple more and we will have a good chance. We are capable of winning the battle in the lower reaches with Burnley, Bolton, Wigan, Hull, Stoke, Portsmouth, Blackburn and possibly Fulham. Be Positive!!!!
Report abuse
23 – Well said.
I myself am a bit worried about lack of significant signings, but you are so right. What we are building and the way we go about is really healthy.
Just think about it – In a world where money rules, couldnt it be great if Wolves where known as a place where youngsters would get a chance? It certainly would help attract the countrys best young talents.
And no matter, I would rather see us pay less money than other clubs, yet stay out of the financial turmoil, our dearly beloved club has experienced far too much in its proud history.
Report abuse
Lets just look at the facts,Doyle will not be able to put in the work needed to be at peak fitness on the 15th August.Thats if he suffers no reaction to the op.Whats obvious is that at the moment we have a paper thin squad of players who in my humble opinion are up to the Premier standard.We only need an injury to SEB and we start the season with Vokes and Keough does anyone with half a brain out there think that we are going to win anything with that strike force????????
Report abuse
24) Nothing like the same. I happen to believe that both Zubar and Milijas will be good signings alongwith the others. George Friend will benefit from the experience and Bristol City may shock a few.
All this panic, I have gone through our fixture list and can see 40 + points comfortably. Blues, Burnley, Bolton , Blackburn, Portsmouth, Hull, Stoke and Wigan are certainly sides we can beat at home, if not away. The West Ham game, we should be capable of 3 points!

Dennis – why don’t you mind your own business buddy. At least I can afford to go to matches- I am therefore entitled to my opinion.
Halford – not good enough for Reading or Sunderland in the Prem. Found his place for Sheffield in the Championship. Hence useless for a team in the Premiership.

It baffles me that everytime an article is posted on here, comments end up so far away from the original topic after around number 12. In this case George Friends pending loan to Bristol City REMEMBER. It doesn’t matter what the article is relating to, it just seems to open up a mass debate on questioning Wolves’ assault on the promised land all the time. Keep the faith for goodness sake.
P.S I do believe friend is a better player, with huge potential than either Hill or Ward. The latter two should be out on loan instead, if anything.

STOP GOING ON ABOUT NOT MAKING RECOGNISED SIGNINGS!!!!
We can’t compete with Wigan for a signature so get over it. We shouldn’t pay over the odds for players when young, hungry players are being plucked from lower leagues and have a desire to prove themselves.

Ward is not up to Premiership standard, but Friend hasn’t played enough football to warrant a starting place. If and it is a big if, Elokobi is fit , he could be the talisman to see us through. We need another three signings. However I am more optimistic than last time. We will be competing with Stoke, Burnley, Hull, Bolton and Blackburn for survival and I hope Balde has done enough to earn a contract.

This move is in the best interests of the player’s development, and will ultimately benefit both our player and our club.
Experience and physical maturity are what he needs and what he will get at Bristol in the Championship, and he’ll come back next year a physically stronger player ready for our European quest.
He was never going to get enough games with us in the Premiership this season to make this possible at Molineux.
There’s a lot of Wolves fans down in these parts. He’ll obviously feel at home as a Devon Lad but he won’t be totally divorced from Wolves culture either.

RIGHT …………….. im determined not to jump on the negative band wagon but!!! a couple of things are really starting to grind on me!
one of the main things is this trial and error squad mixing for friendlies, we should be starting our best 11 as many times as we can to give us enought time to gel ready for new season. Doyle injury is a blow but what im more bothered about is the fact that they reckon he will be back for start anyone who is involved with or has been involved with football knows he will miss start for definate! and now milijas missing, you can bet your life he has an injury also! plus no haniman (or however u spell it) so reading between the lines were starting season off almost the same as we left last!
Not a bad thing some of you think, but any true football fan and anyone with any real knowledge of the game will back me up in saying we are in no way shape or form ready for the prem with that squad!
i went to the walsall game and it was embarrassing!
they are not fit, they are just not ready fitness wise yet! blah blah blah since when do you need fitness to knock a simple ball 10yrds n keep the ball for 10 passes? something we could not do!
balde?? joke, anyone with pace, see u later! which will be week in week out in prem, serman, good head n pass on him, halford, no frills average!
i will remain optimistic but if we dont get experience in now we are going to struggle big time, the young mcarthy chap who picked wigan (god only knows why) but we have come out n said he was one for the future not now! so why? what about the bloody now?
our squad is in my opinion nowhere close to a prem side looking to bed ourselves FACT!!
we are in big trouble and i soooooooooooooooo wish i was wrong!!

Is Mick McCarthy capable of buying a decent centre back ? Or does he have a blind spot for his old playing position ? If we don’t get a Premier quality centre back,preferably two in the next 3 weeks,we should expect not only defeats but heavy defeats.Craddock is currently our best bet and he struggled 6 years ago.
Report abuse
I am not really all that concerned. We do need 1-2 experienced heads in there (even if on loan) but I think the quality of signings made so far will see us safe. This will be the premiership season where half the league will be on minus goal difference and poor sides like Hull, Burnley, Blues, Pompey, Wigan will finish below us. Dieter Hamman and Michael Ball on free transfers would do the trick. Get Aaron Ramsay in on loan for that bit of quality. I think we are buying the best young players within our grasp and our situation looking alot healthier than alot of our rivals. This time last year people were moaning about Freddie and Bothroyd etc we have moved on and improved not to mention winning the championship with 7 more points than the tescos did without parachute payments. I think what we will lack in experience our quality, pace and superior fitness will see us comfortably to safety. we are wolves.

Comment 76 Agreed & after losing 2-1 to the mighty Port Vale – its looking more likely that we are no better off than our neighbours last season
Doyle and Milijas simply not enough quality – Surman good signing – Halford average – Hanniman (sp?) no better than average
Fitness or not we cant even manage to string passes together and put the likes of Port Vale to the sword
We desperately need min of 3 better than average Prem Proven Players – What we have is NOT enough
Nothing to do with being NEG – Just facing facts – All the positive vibes in the world wont change our shortcomings in quality and experience for our Prem journey
How many of you out there believe that the squad of last season is capable of Prem survival because thats what we have more or less
Injury has already affected Doyle – so do we have strength in depth??? Fitness wise – Port Vale looked fitter and better at stringing passes together
So lets not get 3 Prem Poven Players – and lets not pay them Prem money cos “their not welcome at the Mol” – What utter TOSH
Dont invest Mr Morgan and we will be back in the Chumpionship faster than you can say Redrow

George is a very good player as is Craddock.
More important are the injuries we are picking up. I have said a number of times in these forums that we need quality backup at the front and on the wings and suggested that we get Ledley ASAP. I am now being proven right with two strikers injured before the season starts, just waiting for Kites or Jarvis to join them and for the same in midfield.
I still think we need proven quality, Doyle is a great signing no probs there. However, we need a Duff for the wing, We need Joe Ledley in the middle and we need a tall strong seasoned quality striker up front to play off SEB. Keogh is a great athlete and and all round good ball player, but in the last quarter has great trouble finding the net!!! :-)

Craddock is a good player in the championship. He will be slower than he was 6 yrs ago and he was woeful then. He and Butler where so pedestrian, and just to think the premiership is more frightening then ever with the loikes of Torres, Drogba, Rooney etc will be licking their lips if they see Craddock in the defence. IMO the defence has never being properly addressed since lescott left. We have CB’s at the club but not one would be good enough to lace Lescott’s boots. Wolves should offer big money for Manceinne. He is the one player I think will be great for wolves. He and Stearman are the partnership at england level and they would be great at wolves. I hope Wolves bring in at least one exp head and preferably to partner the Serb in midfield as I dont think Henry will cut the mustard. But I hope I am wrong. Someone like Dieter Hammannan would be tailor made. My mate went to the matches on tuesday and wednesday and too be honest there is nothing to really write home about. Its all about FITNESS. I think once we are nearer to Aug 15 I got a feeling there will be a couple more signing in the offering especially now that Spurs are beginning to make moves in the window, hence they will be releasing some of their players.
