Mick issues patience plea over Leigh Griffiths

?Mick McCarthy has warned Wolves fans not to expect too much, too early, from rookie signing-to-be Leigh Griffiths.

The 20-year-old striker has agreed personal terms with Wolves after a fee of around £150,000 was agreed with Dundee's administrators.

Griffiths has undergone a medical and is now looking at accommodation in the area.

He will now undergo a 10-day period of training with Wolves as they assess him prior to the transfer going through. The former Albion trialist was set to travel with the squad to Eastlands this afternoon to watch tomorrow's game at Manchester City.

But he will start his Wolves career with a three-match ban after being sent off last week for violent conduct in Dundee's 4-0 Scottish Cup defeat to Motherwell.

The only thing that appears to be delaying Wolves announcing his signing is the paperwork being rubber-stamped, as Dundee's officials are at the Scottish FA headquarters in Glasgow today appealing their 25-point deduction for entering administration.

But McCarthy has cautioned against expecting the Scotland Under-21 hitman to immediately set the world on fire. "With the greatest respect to Leigh, I don't want anyone thinking we're signing a striker that's going to come in and rip it up at the moment because that's not the case," said the boss.

McCarthy has enquired about Portsm-outh midfielder Michael Brown but does not expect it to go any further.
