Hopefully the Wolves will capture their remaining stiking target for the right price today.

I’m confident that we have a squad stong enough to improve on last season but I would prefer greater strength in depth.

Fingers crossed!

As embarrassed as I am to report this…Wolves has signed Marcus Bent from Blues on loan until January 4th…Talk about 4th Choice!

Report abuse

Marcus Bent? Not too sure why we’ve signed him to be honest…

Report abuse

dont portsmouth want to offload David nugent?
short on goals he may be but ok as a backup.

Report abuse

just one thing to say marcus bent lol

Report abuse

Marcus Bent for Wolves!

Report abuse

Dawson looks like hes joined today but not sure about the others like Sidwell and Derek Boateng

And to all Wolves fans
LOL for signing Darren Bent!

Just seen about Bent. Now the obvious reaction from all Wolves fans will be disappointment.

Why Bent? The obvious reason is; height, prem league experience

BUT

Is he actually any beter than Iwelumo? We sold Lumes for £500,000 and how much would Bent cost to buy? probably less?

if this goes ahead I’ll be interested to hear the justification for it. It seems like a bit of a waste of time/money. HOWEVER, I have found myself questioning Wolves transfer activity in the past to be proven wrong.

Felt excited this morning about who we might be buying and this has left us all feeling very disappointed

No way not marcus bent please no

Lots of people will be quick to dismiss the Bent loan as the signing of a crocked, over-the-hill striker with rather donkeyish tendencies. And I will be one of them. I mean, REALLY…

8. Doyle is not prolific? his shooting is poor?

You on the wind up pal or dont you get to many games??

Report abuse

What I don’t understand is why we let players like Iwelumo, Keogh and Vokes – who although they may not be world class, know the club and the other players and how they tick – move on, only to replace them with another squad player who is likely to take months to blend in. Haven’t the powers that be learnt from previous years?

at least bent wont get a yellow card for taking his shirt off after a goal cos he dont score none.

I’m very happy with our signings this year plus our exsisting players signing extensions will act as a catalyst for the confidence and team spirit within the club. We have signed both proven & experienced Prem players as well as Internationally recognised players.

RDM, Newton & Mafie have proved to be a close knit unit and have done all the right things by keeping patient and sticking to what they always wanted.

I’m confident we can finish like the w**ves did last season but with a bit more style.

to all those laughing at bent im sure you’ll all change your tune when he gets the winner against the baggies. utw.

Always hard to find a 4th choice player, as he needs to be someone not expecting to play every week. A young player would have been better, with desires to become good enough one day. Effectively he’s just cover. Even if we had 2 injuries we could play one up front and he’d still be a sub. Could even see Stephen Hunt play as a striker if injuries were that bad, or Vokes recalled from loan. Had MM signed a young player though, this would have further limited the chances of Winnall & Vokes.

Report abuse

Its pretty obvious why weve signed Bent. As was reported yesterday, the club are finding it really hard to lure big clubs in letting youngsters go, unless they are getting regular football, and we obviously wasnt going to break the bank for another premier league striker,as whats the point in spending big money on a player if he isnt going to play.

I obviously would have prefered a young up and coming striker from Chelsea or Arsenal, but they dont want to loan them out if they arent getting games. (i would have thought a little bt of prem experience off the bench, or as backup would have been much better than champ football or mickey mouse cup football?)

Bent is here as a backup and hes not going to play many games, hes not going to come off the bench much, and is only here if we really need him and with a bit of prem experience, could add something to the squad. Im happy with this signing as i wasnt deluded enough to even think we would have been able to bring in the likes of Keane, when we have payed big money for Doyle, Fletcher, and Blake is getting back on track.

Oh my god, we got the wrong Bent!

Is there a refund and exchange policy?

Report abuse

All Silvestre has signed for Werder Bremen according to News Now sources. Didn’t think it was true. Still never mind.
Portsmouths Wilson’s deal with Stoke and Part exchange of Sidwell and Liam Lawerence looks to have hit a snag from the Stoke players end.
Doubt it’s enough to let the Baggies back in at this late hour especially with Scharner signing for us yesterday.
Happy with our business even if there is no more to come.
Would be good to see Moore and others go out at least on loan somewhere but the loan market re-opens for a time next week anyhow.

Report abuse

You only have to look at Diouf at Blackburn on loan from Man Utd. Would they have loaned him to Wolves knowing he would be competing with three good strikers, rather than going straight into the team as he has at Blackburn?

Report abuse

I think Bent is a good addition because he is diferent than all the others and could play with any of them. He is a goal scorer if given the support but he is also robust and can hold the ball up when necessary.

I also think that he probably wants a contract and will be prepared to engage with the Molineux culture of graft and doing ‘a shift’.
I would not be at all surprised if he did really well.

I am worried about Doyle when he is not playing on his own. he seemed lethargic on Sat. – or is it just me.

Report abuse

For those saying they would rather see Vokes instead of Bent, please note that Bent’s loan is until January. This is about the time that Vokes will be fit to play again.

I am disappointed to see Bent brought in though. I can’t see him playing much. (providing we have our other three strikers injury free.)

i see we are being linked with Tijani Belaid is sky sports are to be belived

Report abuse

Not one positive response.
Marcus Bent will do what is asked of him. I’d rather have a player on loan than going out and paying a few million for a gamble. Lets be honest you can pay 10 million and still not be sure and Wolves are not a club that can afford to do that. Just pack in the moaning and enjoy what we’ve got at the moment which is a good start to our League Program.

Report abuse

i hear we are tracking Tijani Belaid

How is this ‘the young and hungry’? Bent is well over the hill and NOT wanted by Brum – sums us up really -sad,really sad – lacking in ambition and planning. He is NO BETTER than the strikers we have allowed to leave, if not worse! Sometimes I dispair at the three Ms,whose stupid idea was this? Smacks of a cheap option to me! Typical!!! Never mind, let’s hope the other three striker never get injured!Up the Wolves!
