Olofinjana wants to stay put at Wolves
Seyi Olofinjana insists he wants to stay at Wolves – but admits things haven't gone 'as planned'.
The Nigerian international has been linked with Albion and Sunderland in recent days, both of which are untrue. But the 27-year-old midfielder wants to stay at Wolves to win promotion.
"I've got a contract to 2011. Because we haven't made it in 2008, I'll try to do it in 2008-09, 2009-10 and the season after," said Olofinjana.
"I've not spoken to Wolves but the chances of me remaining here are very good. I'm very much looking forward to the season with Wolves.
"If something comes up, I will check it out to see if it's the best thing for me to do, but I'm in no rush. If offers come in, a lot of things would have to happen for me to leave – even if it was a Premier League club.
"But if it was down to money, I would have left Wolves long ago. Respect is vital for me and I feel I have become so familiar with the fans and the whole bandwagon, so it would take something special to take me away.
"It was a really frustrating season for me and my performances weren't always the best. I think I was below par and a little disappointing. People are very fickle but they expect so much of us as a team and that can weigh very heavily.
"For myself, I don't think it's been all bad, but it's not been great and not what I planned."
Olofinjana added: "I have never had any doubt about the desire of the club to play in the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers belong in the Premier League – they are only marking time in the Championship.
"Everyone wants it so much to happen. But I've still got that desire to do well and as long as I'm still a Wolves player, I will continue to do my best."
