After speaking to sone Liverpool fans I don't think Ayala is the answer for us They said to me he's a cart horse who turns like a coach in a small car park. I know alot of other wolves fans dislike upon but I really think he could do a job for us if we can keep him fit {Ed001's Note - as a Liverpool fan I can tell you that Ayala is a far better player than Upson, is decent on the ball and is nothing like a cart horse whatsoever. I don't know who you have been talking to but they have clearly never seen the lad play. He reminds me a lot of Agger, but right footed and not quite at that level yet.}

Ed no disrespect but these guys are season ticket holders at Liverpool and they don't rate him at all. Why would we loan this 20 year old when we have Batth who is loaned out now and is as good if not better than ayala? {Ed001's Note - they may be season ticket holders but the lad has barely figured in the first team for them to see him. They clearly haven't seen a lot of him or they would understand why the coaching staff rate him so highly. It is telling that both clubs he went out on loan to last season made a number of bids to sign him on a permanent basis come the end of his loan time. I fail to see how Batth is as good or better, how close would he get to Spain's U21s? Nowhere near I think you will find. By the way I don't think I said anything about Wolves taking Ayala on loan, was just pointing out that your friends clearly have no idea what he is like.}

Well for one thing, Barth isn't spanish, so it would be a physical impossibility, lol

You say Barth, I say Batth.

Pure jealosy... New £50 million training ground and new 40,000 seater stadium.. great time to be a wolves fan... not mentioning jarvo, ohara, johnson, doyle, fletch, hennessey Top 10 easy... what a future we have

The club paid just over £4m to Birmingham for Johnson for a flat fee with no add-ons.

That figure is nowhere near the £7m 'confirmed' by Blues at the time, or the £6.4m that was widely quoted in the days after the deal was completed.

Midfielder O'Hara cost them £3.5m, well below the £5m reported when he signed from Tottenham.

Reports suggested Blues had initially wanted staggering £14m for Johnson before dropping their price to £10m then £9m.

Wolves are a well run club and they don't have a bottomless pit. Understood. I never want to see us do a Leeds or a Pompey etc and I know we can't buy everyone we are linked with, BUT, there are some good players going really cheap that I believe we should be in for. Wallace - Scottish international, LB, young, hungry and obtainable (now at Rangers unfortunately). Eagles - good squad player, DJ Campbell - good player, squad player - these are just a few examples. People will disagree saying we don't need these roles - but a bigger squad is always needed to cover injuries and suspensions and competition for places. We have not really sorted our team for this season - we have basically the same as last year which means relegation fight. I'm not a Wolves knocker - I love my team and I don't want debt. But I don't want championship football again, because if we did go down and didn't go straight back up - it's a slippery slope and a lot of our big name players would go. Invest moderately Wolves and lets push for a mid-table finish and a good cup run.

Where you been eagles was sold to bolton last week.....

we should try and get wayne bridge he didnt go to america with man city i suppose its down to his wages or get him on loan for the year and pay half his wages and man city pay the other half just an idea wolves forever

"Dann definitely not moving to Wolves unlike Johnson has European aspirations and not a relegation battle - Johnson's move was a panic and he now regrets missing out on Everton or Villa." - OK lets see Dann has already been involved in a relegation battle also how far do you expect BCFC get in Europe ?, no where.They now have a shell of a team that got RELEGATED.Jerome & Dann will move on.SO KRO you sad bitter blue nose or possibly baggie.How are the baggies doing in keeping their star forward ? and a possible loan of Foster ha ha you lot are a joke.Sad Bitter and just jealous that Wolves have bigger and better aspirations than you lot.
Gibo.

Just heard we are preparing to spend some decent money on a well know left back, sorry got to get up now alarms going off

Have you seen him embarras arsharvin? pure quality he is better than Jarvis was at that age also he scored a few crackers from distance.

If Danns the man then so be it, if MM and co think so. If not maybe we should be aiming for a proven leader (captain) for the next couple of seasons on and off the field to achieve a level of consistency, and leadership for the team, then maybe Johnson can take up the mantle and lead the club to the next step in our progression. Maybe this means overspending maybe not who knows, but today football is a gamble, but with the right people running the club as we have now it can be achieved sensibly.

Ed im hoping wolves will sign upson hes slow but experienced and also ebanks blake going the other way it bullcrap don't you reckon, why would wolves sell him when theyve got 3 first team strikers really in doyle fletcher and ebanks so if anything they need to get rid of keogh and that or play hemmings or spray or maybe winnall more to turn them into great prospects, what do you think? {Ed001's Note - Upson is unattached, why would anyone go the other way to sign a free agent?}
