Stearman wants to stay at Wolves
Friday 29th July 2011, 11:05AM BST.
Wolves defender Richard Stearman today brushed off speculation about his future – as Carl Ikeme was primed for a move to Middlesbrough.
Stearman has been linked with a £1million move to tomorrow’s friendly opponents Ipswich in the last two days.
But the versatile stopper, who signed a contract extension to 2014 in January, wants to stay.
The 23-year-old said: “It’s going to be a big fight for the shirts at the start of the season and, indeed, throughout the campaign.
“We’ve got great strength in depth there now which can only drive us all on to perform better and try to get in the team.
“Hopefully, I can perform well and manage to take one of those shirts.”
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ikeme has been given permission to play for Middlesbrough in tonight’s glamour friendly with PSV Eindhoven, with a view to a loan deal.
Ikeme, who had featured in all of Wolves’ pre-season fixtures before Tuesday’s win at Celtic, will join Boro’ on loan on Monday, providing Wayne Hennessey and Dorus De Vries come through tomorrow’s friendly.
De Vries suffered a slight groin injury in training shortly after signing but, so far, has featured in two development fixtures with Shrewsbury and Wrexham.
The Dutchman travelled to Celtic for Wednesday’s friendly but was an unused substitute, as Hennessey played the full 90 minutes.

Can’t see Stearman leaving, certainly not for £1 mil.
Surely pure speculation, he’s a valuable member of an established premier league squad.
Report abuse
Please sell him.
All he does is fall over.
When there is a ball or pass to be blocked, he falls over.
When there is a shot coming in, he falls over.
When there is any sort of tackle to be made, he falls over.
I’m sick of losing my voice each week because of shouting at the guy.
Worst defender in our golden history

I would rather Stearman stayed. I think we need him in the squad. There are other more obvious candidates who should be trying their luck elsewhere and leaving before the likes of Richard.

I forget sometimes how young some of our players still are. At 23, he has 2 years top flight football under his belt and still has time to improve further. £1million for him was never going to happen anyway if Mills is moving on for around £4million – £5million.
Report abuse
Stearman is a bit of an enigma. Clearly talented but rather inconsistant. However, he is only 23 and still has the potential to become a top class defender. On balance I think he is worth keeping for another year and re-evaluate his form at the end of next season
It could be that he would perform better with Johnson alongside him, although I have the feeling that Berra will initially be the preferred choice at the start of the new campaign. That is assuming we do not sign another central defender.
Perhaps a short loan spell with a championship side rather than a transfer would be the best option.
Ikeme’s loan deal makes perfect sense.
Report abuse
I’m a big supporter of MM but Stearman has been really mistreated since joining Wolves. His development as a young CB has been ruined by being played in half a dozen positions! God I remember Neil Collins playing at CB and Stearman being shipped to fullback. Give the guy a chance, I really rate him!
Report abuse
I hope this is nothing more than idle gossip, cos 1 million for a 23 year old England u21 (former) international with 2 years premier league experience on a long term contract sounds terrible business for us, and we are really overloaded with quality defenders at the minute??? That does not sound like the work of a great board, unless the chuckle brothers are in charge!!!

Of course he does, he`s a championship defender being paid premiership wages.
Ridgwell will sign for us in the next few days, great signing, good player at in the prem and good for assists and the odd goal too.
Report abuse
I think Stearman is a good squad player as he can play full back and centre back, however, he’s not first choice as he still makes mistakes.
I think he will eventually become a very good player and to think he is only worth £1M i a joke, I remember him being linked to L’pool in our first season and he’s improved since then.
I’d still like another CB to come in and if we can get Ridgwell for £2M then that would be a steal as he can also play left back.
It’s worrying to think if Johnson was to get injured we have in no way improved our defence which has been woeful in the premiership.
I still think we need a CB, LB, CM and ideally a ST permanent or loan deals!
I don’t think the fans will have to patience this time around if we are in the bottom three again for the majority of the season, in what is our third premiership campaign.

2-Lonewolf…Talking about falling over, thought you were talking about our great white striker, Kev Doyle, that and complaining to the Ref, with a small amount of time playing decent football, just about sums him up.
Who would you rather have in your team, a hard nosed striker like Fletcher, or Doyle…Can’t have them both, know who I would choose

8. Half a dozen positions? centre half and right back equals 2.
I will also drive him there myself, useless, allways has been. The fact that he has started pre season friendlies in the right back role fills me with dread…

He has some really good games, but, lets himself down occasionally. I reckon he has improved season on season and we shouldn’t sell him, certainly not for £1 million.

Yeah, right !
Obviously your brain is at the dry cleaners this week. If you think that you are beyond help.

Its Stearmans ability which always exposes Berra. Stearman occasionally gets plaudits for being quick and making last gasp tackles, but its usually because he is out of position trying to recover and has to attempt the spectacular. Berra is often criticised for being slow but he generally has another 10 yeards to run than he should do as he’s covering Stearman. How many times have you seen stearman get the wrong side of his man from a simple long ball. However….. I think its worth keeping him as Johnson may be able to knock this out of him. He has the raw attributes, but just not the ability to perform consistently.

Stearman is trully awful.I believe Wolves leaked so many goals last season because of his incompetence.

Thanks for the praise chaps. In all he is a polite lad who wouldn’t hurt a fly, always has a smile on his face and something nice to say, and tips very nicely. I would say one thing though, if he was to move to Suffolk, which incidenlty would suit him very nicely as it is very relaxed, I would hope to receive 2 new customers on his departure.

Selling Stearman makes no sense at all. People stating ‘I’ll drive him there myself’ are clearly lacking in any sort of long term vision. Here is a talented albeit raw 23year old defender who is still learning his trade. Wolverhampton born, he gives his all to the club and will only get better given time and patience. Yes, he has had his moments, like everyone else in the team has. But he’s part of the Wolves long term plan, even if he’s still a rookie. We’re not going to be able to go out and replace him either if he does go. No doubt these folks giving it large regarding RS are the self same folks who berate McCarthy week in week out, and boo Elokobi, etc. Tiresome, witless supporters who make the club look silly week in week out. I’ll happily drive you to Ipswich myself.
Report abuse
I like Stearman as a player and don’t agree with all of the knocks he’s given – but i would seriously consider letting him go if only to clear a slot in the 25 man squad – we can then bring in another player of real quality.
Report abuse
didnt he play 100+ games at right back for leicester???
to say centre back is his prefered position is frankly shocking as he is just as inept there as he is out wide.
him and berra need shipping off and another centre back bringing in as johnson wont be able to cover himself and his inept partner at the same time.

Stearman will NOT be leaving.

Cast your minds back to when we wanted Roger Johnson from Cardiff a couple of seasons ago, he was probably around the same level finished article as stearman is as in class and ability and this season he is our best signing, £1million for the boy, it’s a none starter, he wants to fight for his shirt, and wether worldclass or not thats the kind of player we want at this fantastic club.
Roll on the start of the new campaign, 15th and more secure through the season me thinks.

He has had some bad days, but when he is good, he’s excellent.
The fact he was playing next to Coco the Clown last season did not help his game.

£1m is laughable. Besides I want to keep him.

Like so many other Posters on here, you do not see the fact that if you make mistakes in the Premiership you get punished. Making the ODD mistake IS NOT good enough. So dependent on the reason for keeping him, (ie to play in the Championship??????), he should be replaced, as i have seen little improvement in Steerman over the last season.
Mediocrity cannot be approved at this level.
Do agree not worst defender in Wolves history, remember the heady days of George Berry and Bob Hazel.

I cant believe I am agreeing with a Baggie – but Baggijono – actually you speak with a lot of sense.
Richard Stearman is 23, English, Two Seasons of top flight football behind him (ok not played every game), former under 21 player, for £1 million – you are having a laugh.
Were we not being quoted only a few weeks ago that Ryan Bertrand is worth £5million, WHY, just because he is at Chelsea!! Never played in first team and only still an under 21 player.
That surely means stearman is worth at least £10mill.
Keep what we have got – get rid of jolly austrian giant, vokes on loan, keogh to be sold – get in one more defender we will be OK this year – 12th – remember this prediction!!

Very Poor, one of many reasons why we are hanging on to our premiership status by our fingernails.

Henry, Ward, Berra, Foley, Edwards, Keogh, Hoff
Many thanks!

Just thought i would speak on behalf of our loyal fans to keep you updated on the situation regarding incoming players.
No one will be signing for us now unless we can get them as cheap as possible.
Er i meam come to a suitable loan agreement with their parent clubs.
I have read some of your comments about who you would like myself and the board to sign with great amusement. Wonderful sense of humour our fans have, but i am afraid the cheque book will be closed.

Worst defender, how about Peter Zelem? Some of you lot obviously didn’t go in the bad old days.Chicken George,who won a league cup medal, was not so bad,should have kept him,same with Bob Hazell.How about Joe Gallagher,an expensive signing from the Blues who turned out to be slow and pretty useless.Hope history is not going to repeat itself.Yes,Rob Hindmarch was slow,but he scored against the Baggies.As for Stearman it is good he wants to stay and fight for his place,played a blinder against Man utd,I seem to remember.

19) You obviously do not go to games. When Ward played in his proper position Wolves amassed a lot of points. His partnership with Fletcher was top drawer.
As for Stearman, he should not be sold – especially at £1m. He is only young and certainly has the potential. Players that need to go are the Hoff, Keogh and Vokes!
Report abuse
Richard Stearman has the potential to be a very good player, What is needed is simple work in defense i.e. Jody Craddock and any show boating in the far third of the pitch. Focus is everything in the Prem lose it you lose a lot more.
I agree with many still need a quality left back with big George or S Ward to fill in if needed.
Best of luck to all.

Bottom line is Stearman even though maybe young, has played over 200 games and he still makes more than the odd error, at championship level you can get away with them, sadly in the premier you can’t.. I don’t think he’ll improve enough to ever become a premier level defender and i’ve seen every home game (and some away) he has ever palyed for Wolves!
There is no sentiment in football, i’d get rid even though i’m sure the pie man can get a bit more than 1m for him, 1.5 – 2m sounds fair, that would not only free a space in the 25 but would probably pay for a year’s loan of someoene like Jonny Evans?

Another home-grown talent who people seem to enjoy slagging off. What benefit would it be to the Club to sell a 23 year old with 2 years PL experience for £1 million.
Personally, I think Stearman is inconsistent, but let’s remember he is 23 years of age. How many teams in the PL have a 23 year old (or younger) playing week in-week out at centre-half? Defenders don’t tend to come into their prime until their late twenties at the earliest (look at Craddock!). Once he adds a bit of consistency to his game he will be a decent PL defender. I remember some outstanding performances from him last season; Liverpool at Anfield, Chelsea at home when he partnered Elokobi at centre-half I think. I also remember some horror shows from him, but he’s certainly not one I’d be rushing to get rid of.
RichWolf – get rid of Edwards, Foley, Henry, Ward too? That’s pretty much the nucleus of our squad which has kept us up for the last 2 years. I think if Dave Edwards can keep himself fit this could be a big season for him.
Report abuse
Stearman is a good defender who is still learning. He should advance wonders playing alongside Johnson.
Stearmans problem is, he is trying too hard and by doing that is making mistakes.
I truely hope he stays with Wolves and learns to relax a bit more on the pitch. Johnson will show him how to do that.
Report abuse
I’m a closet Stears fan…. But enough of that.
funny how issues vary from one season to the next. I remember when clubs used to love coming to Mol a couple of years ago, or another season when scoring was the issue. I have no doubt that Johnoson will make a huge difference and next year we might just have stopped talking about the defence.
IMHO I hope we have another marquee signing to come, at least in the form of a loan deal for a Karl Henry type player. Or to paint the picture a modern day Bryan Robson in the making. We have terriers, we need An Alsatian in the midfield pack.
