We might get a loan player … so the message from Mt Olympus suggested, and anyone (almost) at this stage would be welcome to most mere lowland folk.

Furthermore, I’ve just looked lovingly at the table showing Wolves have 7 points from 3 games and have told myself all will be well this year, new players or not. Howzat for happy clapping?

More importantly, I do hope all the lads come back in one piece from their international jaunts – if not Mother Hubbard’s cupboard just might look overflowing by comparison!

Right, job done, and lots to do outside – best of luck to all Wolves fans, critics and ovis’s alike and for my part I’ve found the piece of wood with my teeth marks in it from 22nd May 2011, 5.50pm ….. ;)

If we can get Cech out – that will free funds. I would expect a player or two may come in but those deals will only progress once Marek has passed his medical in Turkey. So the sooner that is completed the better. No doubt Irons are in the fire as we speak.
Whatever happens today JP has backed Roy with Foster and Long (and others) coming in and although I still think we need to shore up at the back a bit more we have improved the squad from what we had in May. Well done to JP and DA. Worth remembering securing Mulumbu, Brunt and PO has also been a valuable piece of business.

Unlikely Wolves will splash the cash – although we have it! Why are we linked with Hooper? It’s irrelevant what he has done in the SPL, as even Blues have done better in Europe than the SPL sides! Most needed signing is someone to challenge Henry. The nearest we had was young Davis and he has been loaned out. Plus why are we trying to get rid of Milijas? What happens if O’Hara gets injured.
On a positive note. Apart from being undefeated with 3 clean sheets out of 4, you won’t see us fighting in the dressing room. Mad Mick would sort em… even big George.

34. you have hit the nail on the head…its a BIG if we can keep our players fit, even if we do it is still going to be hard to stay out of trouble, Doyle will be injured sometime during the season as this seems to be the norm for him, we are playing on confidence at the moment but a couple of bad results and that will go, then we will need quality to get us through and just adding Johnson from last seasons 1st team is NOT enough…personally I hate Moxey’s arrogance towards tranfers etc,.. I think all Wolves fans were expecting at least 3-4 quailty signings, Johnson and the permanent signing of O’Hara is not enough to keep us out of trouble.

The club, like Albion, should not go into hock and I believe that both us and Albion will become a model on how to grow a football club through quiet, sensible and assured ambition. I don’t agree with everything the club is doing but compare to where we were five years ago.

All we wolves fans asked for this season was a shoring up of our defence. 76 goals i think we shipped last season, yet only one new defender brought in. If god forbid Johnson gets injured we are screwed.

Lets hope doyle comes back from Ireland Duty injury free as he normally gets injured.

If this was to happen and we lose O’Hara and Johnson then its back to Bottom of Table relegation fight.

I know we have had a start to the season that is beyond our wildest dreams, but c’mon lets face it most of the team are from our championship season three years ago.

17 players shipped out how much more money do they want to save. But then again we are building a new ground to be left a quarter empty.

I’m baffled by inaction at the Baggies. Pablo, an experience centre half, signs for Blues, yet we don’t replace him. Are we really pinning our hopes on the 31 year-old from Ipswich – or the young Dawson, from Rochdale? I’ve also seen Billy Jones in action at Bournemouth – he’s a plodder, who will find the step up to the Prem’ a near impossibility. Yet Roman is still with us, in a striking line-up which includes Long, Cox, Fortune, Tchoyi and Odemwingie. Fine in midfield, too. But defence? We’ve only had one clean sheet in all pre-season friendlies, five goals against us already in the Prem’ and a goal against a Third Division outfit. A real slip-up, this time, which I fear could cost us dear.

A team that has obvius flaws and limitations in the central defensive area let three defenders go and bring nobody in.

Risk game if hopes are based on Billy, Gareth and Craig quickly making the grade.

We clearly do not have the pulling power or possibly the willingness to splash the cash.

The last week or so has sadly illustrated the rich are getting richer and untouchable.

It was almost impossible to compete with the big six prior to the season starting; now its simply a joke.

England has always laughed and mocked Celtic and Rangers dominance because of lack of a level playing field in Scotland.

We have that problem big time now in the prmiership.

If Albion can make a fist of it and survive this season it will be a far greater achievement than the big guns and their ever growing trophy cabinets.

And as the hour of eleven approached, Jez moved centre stage, before him on the table was a huge hat and a magician’s wand, beyond were a crowd of happy clappers applauding dutifully(the sceptics weren’t allowed in, they observed from outside, noses pressed against the window pane).
With all the skill of the practised illusionist Jez rolled up his sleeves to show no hidden props before delving a hand into the capacious hat. A few frantic swirls had the hat spinning and then his hand came out lightning fast and reached high into the air ….. it was empty! The clappers stood as one, cheering and chanting, ‘Jez for king ….. Jez for king ….. Jez for king ….’ and outside the sceptics fell about chanting something sounding very similar, but meaning something very different! With that the transfer window closed and another day beckoned.
However, forget the lost millions, leave the arithmetic to Jez ….. you know he will easily get things to balance ….. for we lowland folk all we need to do is get our heads around the idea that 42 points will be enough (more than last year), which means the playing staff now need to get 35 points from 35 games and if (what is left of them once the meaningless internationals are done with) they can get the better of Spurs who are next up, the equation will be 32 from 35.
Good grief, we’ll be almost there!!
As for the shadow, shadow squad (is it now 16? Jeeez Jez) cluttering the highways and byways of Europe as they go in search of a paid game of footie, I have the solution for at least some of them ….. that is if anyone has a stash of P45′s I can use for those still on the books.;)

It is wrong to say that teams pay over the odds for players on deadline day – Dann for £5 million was an absolute snip at his young age and sound though RJ is, Dann has far more long term potential. Anyway though we might have gone for a player like Nedum Onuhoa who has versatility who could have been invaluable when the certain injuries strike.

Like most of us we do have a pretty good starting 11 but for how long? The best and most ambitious teams have good solid Premier level back ups too. All we have to call upon are talented but inexperienced academy lads – deeply worrying.

Obviously Stoke have Champions League aspirations and it riles me a bit because all things considered we are a bigger club than them and when they go in for players like Crouch and Adam Johnson then really!

What does happen if RJ gets injured? Don’t even want to think about that one!

Realistically, another relegation scrap here we come.

MM has said all laong he is happy with his squad – we are not a chelsea or Man City who can afford to spend millions on players that don’t play. Ideally of course if the right players wanted to play here in the positions that needed cover (Centre back / left back / forward) then we would ahve got them. However only time will tell but to date (unbeaten) we are looking like a team which has adapted to the premiership and playing keep football and not making silly mistakes in “bad” areas.

I would rather be where we are than a Birmingham or Portsmouth or like Man U £750M in debt – cuz when Fergy does go what then for the best team in English football (at the moment): What happens when the Sheikh gets bored at Man City? We live within our means which for me is not a bad thing and means we will continue for many more seasons to come.

Just been having a look at all the ins and outs at clubs, there are only 2 other teams that have sighned as few players as us(3)they are Man Utd, who won the league last year any way and everton who are all but bankrupt! And at least all the players they have signed are brand new ones. One of ours we had on loan last year and our other will be on the bench most of the season so we’ve pretty much just added one new player to our playing squad, who don’t get me wrong, I am very pleased with! But for a team that just narrowly escaped relegation last year, is it really enough?? Earlier on in the summer MM was talking about 2 new CB’s a new LB, midfielder and striker. Feel a little let down! I do think our first team is capable of surviving but come the winter when fixtures are coming thick and fast and the suspensions and injuries start kicking in, then I do worry slightly!

It might feel like Johnson has been the only addition to last season’s team but we have to remember that O’Hara only came along in January and ended up playing a third of the games. Because of injury Hunt and Fletcher played a third of the games also.

We now have O’Hara, Fletcher and Hunt for a full season, plus Johnson – so on a season to season comparison we are far stronger than last year.

At the end of the summer window Aston Villa have perhaps done the best business with Given, Hutton, Jenas and the Zog adding to their quality from last season, if Wolves don’t have the money then sadly that’s way it is same for the Albion. Wolves have taken on two players that are costing big money on wages for the size of our club hence why 17 or 15 players have left the club just keep the bill in check I guess. However our lack of depth is a major concern look what happened to Birmingham last season, either injuries or poor form and when confidence is knocked out of our players it could go horribly wrong but having said that take each game as it comes and we’ll see if three players we have signed will make the difference.

Steve bull stand – 100% correct. Add to that the fact that the rest of the players have yet another premier league experience, we are looking allot stronger. People forget that this is a very young squad of players, and very few of them are actually near their prime let alone in it, so the more experience these players get, the better they will get.

i’m happy that wolves has managed to keep all our best players and move some fringe players on however I still am worried about our defence and midfield.
Buying Johnson alone will not solve our defensive problems. Also Henry and O’hara together in midfield worries me. Ohara gave the ball away against so easily against villa. He is great going forward but not the best defensively. Henry is the opposite.

I would have liked another quality central defender, and defensive midfielder added to the current squad.

The majority of comments on here relate to not bringing in new players.
Each new signing requires a massive cash investment, not just the transfer fee, but also the committed wages for the term of their contracts.
And will any new signing guarantee the club stays in the PL?
Any investment is speculative. It will be interesting to see how many of the ‘panic’ deadline signings by others will work out.
If the club should spend money that it does not have, or might not have in the future, then say hello to lower division football.
I doubt anyone on here has any idea of the true workings of this or any other club.
As supporters/followers you can wish for all you like, but the admin of the club are responsible for its running and we should leave them to do it.
Trust their judgement and give your support to them and the club.

I can’t believe some fans are moaning. Mick has never liked doing business on the last day, so people who say they feel let down should have never let there expectations get so high. He’s made it clear that he is happy with the squad, and there is no point bringing players in for the sake of it.
It would have been nice to maybe bring one more in but the league already looks weaker this year than it was last and there are easily a few teams that will struggle. Roger Johnson has really improved the defence, Berra looks better and more confident with him there, Henry is playing better without the arm band, we are playing more attacking going with Fletch and Doyle up front and the whole squad now have the Premier League experience, which is something that can not be brought.
Judge the purchases at the end of the season, that’s when it ultimately matter.

Keep the Faith!

On a lighter note to the angst over transfers (or lack of them) why have they started removing the black seats they have just installed in the new stand?

Report abuse

There’s no doubt that had we spent more than the club set out to spend on certain positions this summer, that we would be competing at a consistant mid-table position this year (you never know, this may still be the case).

The puchases of Dann (approx 6 million) and Palacios (again approx 6 million) would have really strengthened areas of the team that still require strngthening.

I have never been one to advocate senseless spending for spending sake, but these signings would have made a big difference. Furthermore, given that we will still need to strengthen in these positions next season, (providing we stay up), I can’t think of too many better players that we could purchase in those two positions for a better price.

Jez’s explanation for the restrained transfer activity this summer came as a surpise also. I was under the impression that the stadium budget was separate to the budget we have for players, however, Jez today stated that fans need to understand that ”given all the things we are trying to do off the pitch, that there has to be a balance.”

Report abuse

According to MM at the end of last season we required 3 defenders and the midfield strengthened even after allowing for O’Hara and he had the money to do it. We spent £8m on O’Hara and Johnson according to JM and obviously MM still needs 2 defenders and the midfield strengthened. Perhaps JM has got his balance sheets mixed up and the ground improvements have taken priority. There was a lot of business done over this transfer window and many teams have become much stronger for it. Lets hope that we can repeat last season and take the 12 points from the top teams again.

For all those who say we managed to keep our best players should be crystal clear about one thing”NO CLUB IN THE WORLD PUT IN A BID FOR ANY PLAYER OF OURS!!”
Doyle as been left out of the Irelands 11 for “LONG”.
Most of the posts on here are fully justified to ask why we did not get a “striker,midfielder and a left back!”
If there is a “numpty” on this forum who thinks “doyle” will give us 13 premiership goals then they need to go and support another team with “SIR.BIlly qui….et”
SEB is currently injured and if “FLETCHER” was to go down the injury road we would be in a little pickle.
We certainly require a midfielder who can retain possesion and spray the ball around to the likes of Jarvo Hunt etc,it is very clear “MOXEY” wanted “MILIJIAS” out so the chances of him getting into the team at any stage look remote especially when “MM” picks “FOLEY”!
The left back position I am little less concerned as I think “WARDS” confidence is spirrallying to new heights,with him also being in the ireland squad this will only improve his confidence and quality of play.
“MOXEY” is not the “messiah” everyone thinks he is far from it,he is obviously in pole position but I am sensible to know that their are better men out there who would bring the club more security and growth on the pitch and off.

One must also not forget what “JOHNSON” said when asked about signings “Yes we are most likely to bring in a player or TWO!”
He was obviously advised prior to signing that we would be strenghtning further!and he would be made captain.
Captain he is but is this the time when are team spirit will be tested when we endure a poor spell? When “johnson” will first start thinking “was I sold a dummy” then he will start to think aloud!
Then his thinking aloud will spread like fire around the very foundations we beleive to be “SOLID” one must not also forget Johnson said” He is a winner like “MM” and will not refrain from the odd argument if he thought it was required!…Maybe the day is not far when “MM” and “JOHNSON” will have an argument I for one know it will only a matter of time.

But most Wolves fans who go and support (home and away) and follow from all around the world could see…. how cum they can’t!!!!!!!!
Blackburn have got a great centre back at an amazing price, especially as he is in the young and hungry mould………
Is someone trying to tell me we could not afford him…… I really think he would have made our back 4 so strong.
Glad there is no league games this weekend, still feel really let down….

I fully understand the points you make and I am in no way advocating reckless and profligate spending on acquisitions or salaries. What I object to is the silly and obvious Bullshit from people who should know better. I and many others would appreciate them treating us with a modicum of intelligence.

There would be far less disappointment amongst fans and a better understanding of the policy and difficulties if they would simply tell it like it is.

As for the managers ‘Numpty’ comments, I take nothing back in my criticism of him. At this time the Arsenal manager is having to withstand far more attention and criticism, I have not read of him ‘Calling’ anyone. Perhaps that is the difference between real Class and the inability to handle the heat in the kitchen, for which he is well paid to cope with.

WOLFHED you have just proved what a “NUMPTY” you are along with a handful of others.
None of my comments are negative!
I am not the only being who just does not look at yesterday or today but also considers tommorow.
We have to be prepared for what may be around the corner.Have the neccessary steps taken.
Creating a strategy and a goal in advance is not negative.It is apparent that you sit at home 24hr doing nothing unless something occurs than your looking for a cure.The simple thing is to “PREVENT” rather than “CURE”.
Reference your case about “DOYLE” he is a good player no doubt,in relation to his goals tally lets just stick with the ratio of goals scored for wolves in the 2 seasons played!”STILL NOT REACHED 13″.
you see “WOLFHED” this is the problem “NUMPTIES” like your good self going around on forums like this having nothing constructive to say you call others “NEGATIVE”.Only because I and the majority on here are in someway or another writing on a similar note to me..Yet you singled me out.I have more positive in my little toe!
You would rather listen to MOXEY saying how he wont be forced into panic buying!Yet no one as asked him to panic buy!Yet if one looks at the purchases we have made since our arrival in the prem most of them have not played and have moved on !!! All for not “PANIC BUYING”Its over two years majority of the fans have been calling for a centre half and a left back!! So after two seasons we get “JOHNSON” and the improvement is immediate!!
So in no way have I ever been “NEGATIVE” this is just a cheap shot by a “NUMPTY”.
Everything we do in life in most cases the future is considered!

wanderer in eire – How deluded can you get. You seriously dont think your comments were negative? How is declaring Doyle has no chance of scoring 13 goals and anyone that disagrees with you is a numpty and should go support another club constructive?

Im guessing your upset because I actually have an oppinion that differs from your own. You complain that I used this forum to air my oppinion, but guess what, Thats exactly what this forum is for. Get over yourself, if I feel i can add my oppinion to subjects on these articles, I will, no matter who it is in reply to. Ive replied to many peoples comments before now.

Im not one for resorting to petty name calling as im not a 10 year old, so I will just leave it there. You can continue to have a cry about anyone that disagress with you while I will enjoy our 3 successive years in the prem.
