Jez Moxey "has privately earmarked August as the most likely month for Sigurdarson’s arrival."

I didn't realise Moxey confided so freely with Express and Star journalists.

His agent has said he will join the club on the 16th July for 2.4 million

All makes perfect sense - but are we buying a spoilt 2yr old? - hash tags of “mentallybroken” and “wanttoleave”. Did Bjorn throw his toys out of the cot at the same time?

nz?olf - just go away!

Couldnt agree more, well said!!!

Could be a way of giving other clubs more time to get involved and upping the price. Certainly dragging on, a bit like a tale of two cities, let's hope he is worth it but more importantly we get him because nomally when it drags on we lose out. UTW

He is exactly the sort of player we should be going for, young and exciting but seems he needs to grow up a bit!

Yet another signing we are left worrying about. Why do wolves never do things the easy way?

On another note if Lillestrom can battle this hard to keep their stars i think our board needs to take note... Fletcher and Sigurdarson woulf be unstoppable with Kightly and Jarvis on the flanks

Crikey, this must be the first piece swain has written about the wolves without mentioning the 5-1 loss to bitter local rivals Albion...

2. A bit like Mulumbu is throwing his toys out of the Pram in the press about leaving for Spurs or Newcastle and Olsson saying the board better not stop his move to Spurs?!

If we can get him signed up we have more than enough fire power to score the necessary amount of goals for promotion but we need a natural left back (as Ward is making clear at the Euro's) and a centre half. Berra and Johnson can go and Danny Batth and Mouyokolo deserve a chance to fight it out with Zubar for a place at centre back, Foley needs to stay at right back.

I like the sound of this chap, sounds like he really wants to join the Wolves and experience the delights of Wolftown! On a related note, I'll be rap battling at the Quadrant Lounge on July 21st and invite you all down to watch me unleash some lyrical fury.

We will mess about like usual and then at the last minute a much bigger premiership club will come in.

He sounds like an Emo teenager. Abort this transfer now. Abort Abort!!

I may be being a bit thick here, but we signed Stale to start 1st July so why cant Wolves sign Sigurdarson now to join at a later date. Keeps Lillestrom happy and we get our man.

Sometimes i think the Wolves board are thick !

Why havnt they offered someone like Vokes to go there to replace him on a short term loan ??

Also this player isnt spoilt, he's just a young lad trying his best to push amove to a club where his hero manages....

I just hope the deals been signed so no other club can come in for him now, if he gets injured the deals off, no wonder he's abit peeved with Lilestorm !

go on then pete nuts, give us a taster now, spit some lyrics about wolves ! lol

Why can't we just agree a deal now to take effect from 16 July and insert a clause to the effect that it is conditional on the player not picking up a significant injury in the intervening period and passing a medical?

This would lock him down and avoid potentially losing him to a bigger club in the next few weeks.

Can't blame his club really, but why doesn't Moxey secure a pre contract agreement with Lillestrom, in effect he would be (loaned back)to them until he he is required by WOLVES. He would certainly be fit to start the season.

Seems to be 2.4m in July or 4m now . No brainer as far as Moxey thinks. We will cock it up . Welcome to Wolves Stale.

Commonsence,why would Wolves pay out 3mill euros upfront and then he gets injured playing for another club.

Like paying for a car now,and driving it off in two months time and finding the engine,s knackered.

Common! guys,get real.

Even Moxey aint that stupid.

This is great news; a move in the right direction for the club.

NZwolf, you are a prime example of the "fans" we don't need/want, just shut up! This guys a quality player and we're lucky to get him with Everton sniffing around.

As stated, if he gets injured, no deal, so the guy is concerned about his future. Get behind them or go home

On one hand it shows just how highly regarded he is by Lillestrom. I just question the wisdom of forcing him to stay on for these 4 games.

You have to wonder how he will be mentally in terms of his approach to these matches. I'm sure he will want to give his best and be professional, but this potential move in the offing and the risk of injury scuppering the deal will surely be at the back of his mind.

What is wrong with some of these so called fans.

Do they think you just go to a selling club and say" Here you are 2.4 million when can he sign".

It doesn't work like that especially with agents involved.It seems like he wants to come to Wolves, so be a little patient please.

Trust me, he belongs to Wolves, injury or not !!

Can anyone honestly say that they have seen this guy play ? because i havent if anyone has what are his best abilities and would he suit the fizzy pop league as we all know is one of the hardest leagues in the world!wolves till i die

@3 erm no he wants to leave right away as it says in the piece he don't want to play for them they should just let him leave hes not gonna play to his best or go for any tackles is he

Look main thing is we get him and we sort out the players out of contract and the players that have only one year left and the players who want to stay or leave.

No good claimimg we are a stable club when so much uncertainty remains.

We have now been without a premier league game for over a month yet everything still hangs on a thread.

Last minute solutions was apparently a no go area with "MOXEY"!

The club needs to dictate not players like "ROY KEANE" said "Irish players think they are top players and they are NOT"!

This is the same with "WOLVES" players what they think and what they really are vary hughly.

Jarvis and Fletcher are the only two that can be realistically considered premier league players and at that they are mid to lower league premier league players.

One only as to look at some of the players that have moved to top half the premier league clubs from the lower end and "MAJORITY" of them have been POOR.

Right so now his unsettled at lillestrom I know it ain't very professional to speak badly about your current club but the lad wants to go he shouldn't be held for ransom if unhappy he won't play again for the club so just let him leave and be done with it (Modric was another one at spuds I think he was forced) lets hope he comes and we win the title be back were we should be We Are Premier League! We Are Wolves!

Any delays with this deal have absolutely nothing to do with wolves, so how some of you can take a pop at Moxey and co. is unbelievable and frankly, tiresome. Lillestrom want Siggy to complete the season, simple! we don't a we ant him for pre season, but he is contracted to them, so they hold all the cards. Mid July is a compromise

Good player may be but only Championship class at moment, will need time to adjust to our league another one for the future.

I do hope you are all so accomodating to the clubs that come after our 2 saleable players.

Hopefully he is worth the fuss, sounds a good prospect but wont be close to being the finished article. My concern is if he comes who is going to Coach and develop him?

Look at the players whose performance has slipped after they arrive. Look at players we sell who seem to blossom. What was the story with Kieth Andrews, why wasnt he good enough for us?

Someone mentioned worthless contracts the other day. This looks like another example. Lets remember he is under contract to Lillestrom, contracts are supposed to work both ways, just becasue a player wants away it must be mutually agreed or he is in breach. We see it all the time and the press and I am afraid the fans talk as if players can do what they want regardless of Contract, fool on clubs for allowing it. In a way I respect Lillestrom, it is not an unreasonable position and they are also taking the risk he gets injured. Problem is Clubs who enforce contracts get a reputation and players avoid them.

I like the new home shirt, shame about the sponsors logo, give us a break and make it black. Would have liked black collar though.

Old old supporter, Always liked the Gold Shorts era, but out of style now I guess

NZwolf... Surely you can understand the kids frustration, if he's set his heart on moving to Wolves but isn't allowed to go straight away and has to play, he knows an injury could scupper the move! So it's understandable. Fingers crossed it all goes through ok and its all agreed barring any injury.

NZWolf Mate if you just signed a contract with the Mighty Wolves why would you want to play for anyone else get him out of there now and Settled in the Black Country ASAP

Injury didn't stop us from signing Hunt, did it? Regarding Sigurdarson's outburst against his current club and fellow posters on here saying they should let him go because a discontented player will not perform well - I tend to agree but that, sadly, is why we will not keep certain of our own better players. At least Sigurdason will be up and running ready for our opening games! I hope all this comes to pass, incidentally, and Richwolves1985 - I haven't a clue what he is like and am putting my faith in what others say.

Are people not reading this correctly??? He WANTS to sign for Wolves... if he gets injured in the next 4 games the deal is off! how can people say he is immature and needs to grow up? the shape of his whole career is going to be decided on the next 4 games! Fingers crossed he doesn't get injured.

However, I'm sure if the deal falls through so how it will be Jez Moxey's fault.

I can help thinking that most of the morons supporting Wolves fail to see the bigger picture with Moxey here. We are in a great finacial position. relegation obviously is disappointing but structurally we are in a great position!

FWAW

What i cant understand is that Everton bid 4 Million and Wolves bid 2.4 !

I'd just play ball with Lilestrom as for 2.4 million he will be the best buy since bully

The guy is a class act according to my Swedish mate who lives in Norway.

Strong, doesnt get muscled off the ball, Fast, got an eye for goal and links up well with the midfield....

Move on - he aye coming.

I don't think it's unreasonable that his present club want him to honour his contract.

I'm slightly perturbed at his attitude. If he were to be a success at Wolves and some of the bigger clubs show an interest, will he do the same thing here?

Leaving that issue aside for a moment, and assuming that the deal goes ahead, it would not be a bad idea for Wolves to arrange a friendly in Norway. Sigurdarson clearly has created a name for himself and a friendly would help bolster Wolves fan base in Scandinavia.

his attitude might sound a bit misguided or unprofessional, yet you can look @ it 2 ways, sounds like a young man who really got his hopes up then got a knock back, just a little youthful eagerness & a real want to get to molineux asap & injury free,

i personaly hope his passion rubs off on some of his hopefully soon to be team mates

Lillestrøm are looking for new forward to replace him. Torstein Helstad is mentioned in norwegian newspapers(Norwegian, playing in Belgia Brugge)So I think they will hold on to him to they get a replacement, normal business i think. Hope Bjørn can fix champion-ship football. And hope Wolves can be a team in the top of the division next season.

Up the Wolves

Right, that does it.

@28 Wanderer In Eire

Either stop putting people's names in quote marks like they are nicknames, or stop posting altogether, because while you insist on doing this, there is literally no point in you posting at all.

To explain: when I post, I do so in a highly jocular and generally surreal style, and I know that, generally, when it comes to serious matters, I will be taken less seriously than others who favour a more even tone in their posts.

Well, basically, as long as you insist on posting the way you do, and deploying these "BIZARRE" uses of "QUOTATIONS" and "CAPITALS" when none are necessary, people will never take anything you say seriously, because it just makes no sense. Now please. Seriously. Can I persuade you to stop?

@16 Mills Wolf

I don't do requests, but I can tell you that my first verse references Keith Curle and Keith Downing.

Yeah he wants to leave & join Wolves now but their mid-season transfer window is August!!!

He can sign 2 weeks prior (mid july), but the deal cannot go through until then.

Hopefully he will stay injury free for the next 4 games.

Glad to see we have got him, and hope he stays injury free for the next 4 games. He will probably need a few games to get used to the pace of the English game, but after that I have high hopes for him, especially if Fletcher stays and takes him under his wing.

While it may appear that Sigurdarson is displaying some undesirable behaviour, we do not know of any pre-existing problems he may have had with his current club.

Perhaps there is history between them, of which Sigurdarson is not to blame. Therefore, if his relationship with his current club has been beset with difficulties, then it is more understandable why he feels the way he does right now.

Perhaps if the E&S were do dig a little deeper, and find out the truth, we can make a better assessment of the prevailing situation.

Having said all this, then I would expect any player to play for the club he is currently with until he is signed-up elsewhere. Doesn't matter who it is.

Why on earth are there so called wolves fans on here still moaning? It's no wonder we struggle to do any good when whatever we do ain't good enough! I would put money on it that some fools would have a moan if we were to win the league because they were not happy with style of football we play!

If you can't back the club 100% don't call yourself a Wolves fan because you ain't one!

I will be renewing my season ticket for as long a blood runs through my veins because I love this club and am very proud of the fact I do!

Up The Wolves

Sounds promising. I hope that we have some sort of pre-contract agreement to ensure that someone else doesn't come in and steal him from under our noses.

With the inevitable loss of Fletcher it is good to see that the board/manager has been proactive and acted quickly rather than waiting until someone meets our asking price for Fletch and panic buying in the last week or two of the window.

If it does go ahead, I will look forward to seeing him at the Mol next year.

40. Alrightondek

A friendly would be a great idea !

They love there football over there and when i moved to sweden for a few years they all know who wolves are when i wore my shirt.

Certainly potential to tap a market that hasnt been swamped by the london manchester clubs...

Shame were not going to have a pre season tour over there instead of Ireland..... AGAIN !!

Okay, you got us bang to rights.

Me and "Wanderer in Eire" have been well and TRULY nicked by the "PUNCTUATION POLICE".

However there are mitigating circumcisions.

My parents lived in Cardboard City on the steps of "SMETHWICK BATHS" and sent me to school without no apostrophes, not even a comma. We used to cower behind the "BICYCLE SHEDS" in the playground when we saw the semi-colon bullies parading their "STUFF".

Worse was to come when our teacher dain't know the difference between "CORPORAL" letters and "CAPITAL" letters.

Please don't drink too much and come home and "LEATHER" us.

10 Golden Wolf - "A bit like Mulumbu is throwing his toys out of the Pram in the press about leaving for Spurs or Newcastle and Olsson saying the board better not stop his move to Spurs?!"

1) Mulumbu never said any such thing - it was a misunderstanding on Twitter when he posted "Newcastle, Spurs, Chelsea or Liverpool" in response to Cox's question of who we want first game.

2) Olsson has said absolutely nothing on any link to Tottenham - he has always said, and always been adamant, that he will not discuss any potential move or new contract with anyone until after the Euro's. It's all well and good trying to point to West Brom all the time to detract from other matters but making things up is just foolish.

On Sigurdarson - I said that this would be a good signing for the nominal fee being touted; it is true however that the boy cannot go about forcing a move at his present club. Tweets like those seen are in a childish vein and petulant towards a club who gave him his break into the big time. Tell me, how would Wolves feel if Jarvis said similar? He may have some growing up to do and a stint in the Championship would do that to any prima donna no doubt.

What are the majority of these "so called" fans on about. By the looks of this transfer it is done and dusted, Therefore just for Lillestrom's own personal reasons they do not want to let him go for another 6 weeks.

If he does get injured in those 6 weeks then yes Wolves have saved money, but also we would have lost out on a great talent.

What is wrong with Sigurardson trying to protect his own future? I and like many other fans support what he is saying. All he is doing is protecting himself as an asset that he is!!!!

If he is any good he will help us get back into the Premiership, then Moxey will sell him on at a profit!

Check out Sky Sports News - Agents claims Sigurardson will sign for Wolves in July pending him staying fit.

THATS WHY HE DOESNT WANT TO RISK IT MUPPETS !!!

I see this guy Sigurdarson says he is 'mentally broken.' In coming to the Wolves ,he has clearly made the right choice.Mind, a couple of nights out on the tiles with Roger Johnson will soon sort him out.

the player has a choice, Everton who will be pushing for top 6-7 in the Premiership, or Wolves - who will hope for a top 6 finish in the Championship.

Do the math.

Just had a very interesting telecon with my Scandinavian friend. The message from over the sea was quite clear: don't get too excited about this lad. You have been warned!!

15 mills (dim) wolf, how do you know they haven't ???

The guy is a class act according to my Swedish mate who lives in Norway.

Love it absolutely love it !!

well said 48...wolves to i die!!

The sales of experienced players are on track to ensure a healthy Bank Balance for next season, decisions are on track to sell the players who should have been moved on, the difference will then allow the re valuation of the balance sheet to show the true asset value of the playing staff.

We will not need to request a bail out as we wil also have our 12 million payout for 4 seasons.

We are unlikely to announce significant new signing and will allow the younger players to flourish.

I am however concerned about Stales comments about Ward and will recommend him to look again at the videos.

Ward nee to be sold, which I was assured was within the business plan.

We need to seek players before we make purchases, I will be looking at these items very closely, I do not want a bail out at this club and do not want purchases in Euros

Ward: It hurts to lose so badly - quote in the Irish Herald.

He then goes on at some length to justify the ineptitude of the Irish performances in the Euros. Similar claptrap to the nonsense he has spouted all last season in the E&S.

In fairness to Ireland they are a small football nation who often punch above their weight.

But the reason they were beaten so badly Ward is mainly down to you. You were liable in major part for 5 of the 7 goals Ireland have conceded. Hardly a tournament to be proud of. Please take your arrogant press statements away with you wherever you finish up, probably at the same sort of level as your old mate Neill Collins

As usual a lot of sense from Away Wolf.

Sigurdarson is a fantastic pyoung player. He will give

http://www.vargas12.com/2012/06/bjorn-bergmann-sigurdarson-til-wolves/

Wolves a massiv effort to fight for a place in the Premier League. Solbakken knows the player who plays for Lillestrom in Norway.

Right ive got to say it! Tried so hard but the rubbish spouted in 90% of these posts is just incredible.

1st - Despite our hefty bank balence,parachute payments, and 99% of the players taking huge pay cuts, our board is not allowing any money until players leave. Stale will have all the transfer fees to spend.

2nd - The club are the ones desperatly trying to sell Jarvis and Fletch. No-one else. Most club managers at the level of club that can afford to sign these two are involved with the Euros or are still away on holidays. The club and agents are releasing these rumours trying to build some interest in the players. I have worked for football clubs (not wolves addmittidly) and this is how it works.

3rd - Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson wants to come and we want him, but as things stand his club want full payment now. We have delayed the deal until we sell.

All of this was said in pretty much every news conferance when Stale took over. "there will be a turn over of players", "Stale will assess the squad and decide who he wants to keep and then who he wants to bring in. Never, we will bring in 5/6 players and then have a look how they fit in with what we have.

Jarvis and Fletch will go. Defo Jarvis. A big tell tale is the kit launch. Every club always uses its best players to launch a kit. As we did last year with Jarvis and Fletcher front and centre. This year no where to be seen. No Ohara, either. Two youth / reserve team players, Henn, Henry and stears.

We are going to see big changes this time and thank god, it is needed!

17 IantheLichfieldWolf

Don't worry about him going to a bigger club mar mate,we don't want him!

Adéu

Re: #55 bilodave

Thanks for the comment.

I am trying to be objective in all my contributions, even where I may sound very critical. But the situation with Sigurdarson really does need more explaining.

On the brighter side, at least the player will get some early fitness from playing matches. I just wonder though if he will hold back and not risk any silly injuries.

In addition, I just hope we do not have to sell players (re: #58 Dave) before we buy this guy's services. Money is there and time should not be wasted - if the club GENUINELY wants to buy him.

This where I wonder a little. The club has been beset with misplaced loyalties, nepotism, favouritism, and sheer ignorance and contempt from the board.

We can never be sure what the board's intentions really are, or if they are just playing around with the club's best interests again.

69. Thats a very interesting post. However, The deal for this young lad is already done subject to him not getting injured during his next 4 games.

The kit launch is an interesting subject, I think the club will sell Jarvis as we only paid 600k for him and have Hammill and Kites. Lets not forget that if clubs don't meet our valuation, they won't go. Fletch obviously is worth 12 mil and O'Hara won't be sold at a loss.

The club are now looking for a return on their investment from the Academy, Batth, Davis, Doherty, Forde and Ishmael and I am all for these lads being given a chance. Batth to replace Johnson, Doherty to fight it out with Foley for right back, Zeli to fight it out with O'Hara etc

Where did you get your rose tinted glasses from? They obviously haven't improved your eyesight.

I worry that he is being built up to the extent that if he doesn't quickly come up to expectations, some on here will soon be running him down in their usual demoralising way. We do not know how he will fare in the Championship until he has had a run in it. I will be backing him - but let's get him signed first.

I wish I was in the land of Moxey, Where our dreams are just forgotten, Look away Look away before Sigurdarson's on his way,(elsewhere)

PJB - Ward :'It hurts to lose so badly – quote in the Irish Herald.

I was reminded of Blackadder goes Forth

'I just wanted to see how a war is fought so badly'

'Well, you've come to the right place, Bob. A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside'

Ward was at fault for several goals. As were Dunne, Given and most of the rest of the Irish defence. Lets hope England look better against Spain in the quarter-final - I wouldn't be too confident though.

#43 Petenuts - I've said it once and I'll say it again - you have a wonderful way with the lyrical. And Fair play to #52 Smerrick Eric for a jocular response. Its great to see this kind of banter. By the way Petenuts - let me know when you are next in Perth and I'll take you down to Margaret River for the best reds you will ever taste.

52, Nice one Eric. These pretentious busy bodies like petenuts need to take note of the content rather than whether i's have been dotted and t's crossed.

So somebody wasn't top of the class, so what ?

You must live sad lives petenuts and others.

Ooo look I've spelt Siggerdasson wrong !

Is that boy ready for an epic season in the Championship?

@78 Salty Dog

Sad lives? Nothing but joy and sunshine over here, Fido! Just trying to help a man whose message is being lost in a blizzard of lexical confusion - you could, or Eric could, be next little project, my rates are as reasonable as my jolly tone!

PS. I took note of the content. It was rubbish.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is another poxey scam.

He probably won't want to come he sees the new home shirt.

kev in mallorca, you dont want him,or you can't afford him? adeu.

western isles scot wolf, dont get too excited by this lad, you have been warned. so if he goes to everton, thats okay?

utw.

Just looked at the link @vargas12, Sigurdasson looks a strong player, doesn't etknocke off the ball, creates chances for other players but a littel bit worrying......does seem to miss quite a few!!!!!!!

Should he come to Wolves, which is highly probable,I daresay he will be re-tweeting his comments come Christmas!!!! UTB

Detention for u ecca & salty dog with a 100 lines

just looking at Llilstrom fixtures prior to 13/7 and only 2 league games fhought that we were being told that they wanted to keep him to assist relegation fight not for cup matches, or friendlies me thinks someone telling porkies somewhere.

I admit that on these sites the main deal is getting your point across. However, bad punctuation, spelling and grammar - especially in the absence of any other reference points - makes others question the intelligence of the individual and the validity of the points being made by them.

My philosophy is that if there is a right way and a wrong way of doing something, you might as well do it the right way.

Having read the above posts, I have to defend them as there is nothing too bad in any of them. I've seen much, much worse though, that frankly have embarrassed me as a fellow Wolves fan. Just because they call us "Dingles" doesn't mean we should act like them. It's not a term of endearment, but one of disparagement!

Just seen clips of Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson on youtube, he looks to be very useful.

I'll believe this when I see him at Molineux in a Wolves shirt.

A contributor on Sigurðarson's Wiki page says that "on the 16th June he refused to join the squad for a friendly match".

He's not showing much loyalty to his current club who could be fighting to stay in the league. The Tippeligaen runs from March to November and last season Lillestrøm finished 13th out of 16 teams with 2 to be relegated.

According to SSN, Jerry de Koning, the player's agent, claims Sigurðarson will stay at Lillestrom until July 13th with the Iceland international then undergoing a medical at Molineux on July 16th.

"He was sold to Wolverhampton for three million euros, but if he is injured during the games he will play in Norway, he will not be offered a contract," he told Romerikes Blad.
