Jez Moxey finding the market tough going
Tuesday 27th December 2011, 12:30PM GMT.
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey today revealed his doubts about the club’s ability to cash in on the January sales.
Fringe strikers Andy Keogh and Leigh Griffiths are two players that the club are willing to sell next month.
The pair are on loan at Leeds and Hibernian respectively, but Wolves don’t see the duo, or other players, attracting much interest based on enquiries they’ve had so far, combined with the economic climate.
“Apart from the really big clubs, no-one seems to have any money,” said Moxey. “The message we’re getting is that there is that there is very little money around in the marketplace.
“Outside of the really big clubs, I think we’re seeing already the fact that not much money’s going to be spent. I think it’s a reflection of the economy generally.”
Wolves, who have banked a modest £150,000 for young left-back Scott Malone, are keen to cash in on Keogh, whose contract is up in June, and Griffiths, who hasn’t started a Premier League game for the club he joined almost a year ago from Dundee for £150,000.
Moxey remains confident on Wolves’ ability to attract players quickly next month.
“We’re hoping we can sign more players too,” added the Molineux supremo.
Manager Mick McCarthy is understood to have around £4.5m to spend and is eyeing up Mohamed Diame and Nedum Onuoha.
