Who reckons from what weve seen so far that Ikeme deserves to be in team ahead of Hennessey?

I think if he keeps playing well then yes

Defence looks alot more solid with ikeme in goal thats for sure

Get lost henneseys amazing

We know he is but ikeme has been great so far

He's got a run in the team.see where we are when hennesey is fit.

Hennessey is supreme when faced by an attacker coming at him head-on but Ikeme is safer under crosses.

Ikeme come for balls a lot more confidently than henners but henners is the better shot stopper. They could both learn from each other IMO.

Ikeme is doing great but i wouldnt say he is better then wayne no way last year wayne had premiership oponents and a p1ss poor defense this year ikeme has what looks to be a better defense and championship oposition hardly fair to compare them IMO ,

Ikeme is a much better keeper than Hennessey. Looks a lot calmer when shots come in from long distance and catches them first time rather than parrying them. He also comes out and dominates the box, there was one v Derby when he caught it on the edge of the box. You'd never see WH doing that. Finally, he moves across his line a lot better than WH does. Couple of times v NTFC there were shots from way out that were trickling towards him and he moved across and fielded them, whereas WH probably would have dived from his position in the middle of the goal and could well have beaten him. I'm not a Hennessey fan, Ikeme is a much better keeper, hope he gets a run in the team and some mug comes in and buys Wayne when he's fit.

Personally i think henno is over rated , the one thing ikeme does is he talks and commands his box which henno never does which results in defenders making mistakes {Ed011's Note - He's English but can play for Nigeria.

Is he english? He is better than jack butland and he is with the england squad so i think we have another future england player in our team {Ed011's Note - He is but has already opted to represent Nigeria at international level because he must know he won't get a decent chance to play for England, he's been called up to the Nigeria squad but hasn't made his debut yet.

Hennesy at times last season virtually threw the ball in the net ikeme for me any time hennessy has gone backwards

Ikeme better than Hennesey? Have ppl gone mad! Ikeme is average at best. Thts why he's always been 3rd choice 4 so long.

Some ppl talk utter rubbishe on ere sometimes. If Henno had a decent defence in front of him it would of helped. We would of shipped over a 100 wiv Ikeme in Prem! Ive watched Ikeme when he ws on loan at Middlesborough. Qpr and Doncaster. He's pretty average really. Dnt knw wht all the fuss is really. Anyway you divvy's keep believing in Ikeme.. Coz i wont be.

Get De Vries back in goal! Ikeme's shat!

Still believe in Ikeme now?.. I rest my case.

Im not moaning or having a go, but allthough im pleased with the deals we have done, i cant help think it should have been more. We got £20mil for jarvo n fletch, add to the parachute payments we had a good kitty, most if not all players had their wages reduced when dropping down to the champ. So with the best of £30 £35 mil, we only spent £8mil of it! I just feel we may have done more, but i just have to trust stale n hope this squads big enuf and good enough! FWAW

Stop that now ....your talking too much sense and you will be called a moaner by the moaners who are moaning about the moaners

007

I see Morgan is trying to buy Redrow back, I wonder where the money is coming from!

Some of the money will go towards the redevelopment of the Steve Bull (the sooner it gets done the better).

AW

Agree with you. We have managed to replace the midfielders that have gone. Where is Fletch`s replacement!!
He proved today what a class player he is....
I can`t believe with our funds we could not get a goalscorer...... Please don`t say EBB will do it, that miss against Derby shows how good he is
UTW

I can see a striker coming in on loan on the 7th.
And anyway don't forget if we can make it to January around the playoff zone I think more money will be released.

Can some of the fans not see morgan is selling us a pup here bleeding us

Quote jordan rhodes was out of our price range wtf {Ed011's Note - We weren't prepared to spend £8m on someone who'd has barely played in the Championship and never the Premier League, Solbakken said that the player has a strong future ahead of him so we conceed that we know he'll be a star and will do well this season it was just the money that put us off. I think we should've gone for it personally, if he's worth £8m now even if we end up losing him in the future he'd have been worth more than Fletcher.

Morgans move to take over Redrow will add stature to our club, he cannot juggle funds from WWFC into Redrow, he can take a wage or a dividend, but why would he want to do that when he can build the club up & sell it for a massive profit once he feels hes too old for the job of chairman. As supporters we benefit from his good fortune and business acumen.

so important we get ohara back fit and firing, he is a class act and would be amazing under our new strategies, imagine this:

Peszko Doumbia o'hara Sako
                Boukari
                  Doyle

frimpong on loan would be perfect though!

Not many defensive minded players in that front 6.

Not having a defensive midfielder is suicide considering our defence.

I am happy with who we have got in. 7 players is a lot and you have to allow time for the new people to Gel. I'm sure that we will add a few more on loan and I am excited for this season. Stay positive and support the boys.

VB Wolf

Totally agree the most sensible post for many days, we are now a championship club in major transition and have brought very wisely give the boys a chance to gel then perform come on you wolves..

Bakary Sako will be a wolves legend as will tongo doumbia

Rip off by morgan not 7 million spent you see new stand in a few months

Rip off by Morgan tut tut. Some of you on here might not remember the dark days when we had 1/2 a ground and plied our trade in the bottom leauge due to bad owners and the running of our club but i was and i never want to go there again. So long may Morgan rein

Sir Jack put this club back on its feet.

Personally i hope he builds the ground up n some mega rich sheik buys us out. Would love 2 see us do wht Man City are doing..

We'd still moan.

Yes we will never move forwards with morgan all the money in and lets less then 7 millions go

"Rip off by morgan not 7 million spent you see new stand in a few months"

You sir, are an person. {Ed011's Note - I'm starting to think that the site is automatically changing some sort of insult to person... something beginning with a vowel no less... it isn't me doing it. It's like being in control of a ship that every so often does what it wants... like the Doctor and the Tardis... or like something out of Knight Rider... but much less cool than either.

^^ Ha. Ed, it wouldn't be so bad but it can't even get the grammar right. Surely it should be a person, not an. {Ed011's Note - Ssssh!! The Machine will hear you insulting it!! It's ok machine he didn't mean it and I'm sure you can probably, maybe, sometimes say an or a person.

Did anyone come in Berra

I heard his old physio did once.Cristophe was gullible when he was younger.

Gibo. {Ed011's Note - Too far Gibo haha too far.

Stafford Rangers wanted him.

In his mouth I think!!:) {Ed011's Note - If there are any children reading this he meant to say"Portsmouth I think" but he has autocorrect.

Would you care to re-phrase that question

Thanks Ed. ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha. Some great responses.

According to Solbakken in the Wolverhampton Local Press (we all know what they're called), Blackburn's £8m spend on Jordan Rhodes was more than Wolves spent in the whole window.

If you add up the reported fees of our players (£2.4m Siggy, £3m Boukari, £3m Sako and £2m Margreitter) that's £10.4m.

That means the fees reported, which are generally agreed are good prices, are MORE than what we actually paid! Well done Solbakken, Morgan and Moxey for getting them in on such good money.

And Blackburn didn't spend 8 mill. If Stale is really saying this then it will not add to his credibility. Lets have a manager who can show it on the pitch not on paper.
Had enough of the verbal rubbish from Merlin and Connor. {Ed011's Note - They're spending it gradually on Rhodes for £8m.

play stears right back instead of zubar, should of loaned sharp proven goalscorer siguarson looks crap, and before people say he got settle, thats rubbish proven goalscorer score in any team, he looks lazy too

Siggy looks crap?? your a tool... he is a quality player.

Hah what games you been watching?! He looks decent! Good on the ball, quick, composed! What you on about?!

Always one ay there.

I don't remember anybody ever saying Siggy was a poaching striker. That's not his game, he's similar to Doyle and likes to run the channels. He will be good, but he needs a fox in the box to play alongisde - Sharp would have been a good bet.

U can tell he hasnt got a clue what he is talking about

{Ed011's Note - Guys I was thinking and how class would Doumbia and Frimpong be in midfield especially with Sako

Would luv that but think he going to be Songs long term replacement as they don't like to spend. Not sure if Wenger likes him though

Doumbia - frimpong - elekobi up front defenders would turn and run the other way muw ha
PortonWolf

All African midfield four with Boukari too.

We will probably get him on loan to build up his fitness, that's a class midfield then!

Would be a great midfield

sako frimpong doumbia boukari

What's gonna happen when the African Nations cup is played? {Ed011's Note - We play Sako Henry O'Hara Peszko. Sako could play for Mali but has never been called up and JOH should be back from his injury by then. That midfield should still boss the Championship.

Peszko frimpong doumbia sako
boukari
Doyle

Having doumbia, frimpong, sako, elokobi and Henry in the squad should be illegal! Too dangerous!

African nations is every other year and won't happen until 2013-14.

01 Sep 2012 10:37:58
Personally i am pleased about the class of players we have bought like sako and doumbia but i was disappointed not the hear that we havent signed a left back or centre mid

01 Sep 2012 10:10:12
Stop moaning about centre back's we have Johnson, Mouyokolo, Berra, Margreitter and Batth.
Would also include Stearman but think he's better off at full back

And jody

Again, NEGATIVE TALK that we signed no one on deadline day. The players weve already signed are going to take a while to gel but showed on thursday that we can get the job done. Yes i know it was only Northampton but bigger teams than us have fallen to smaller teams than them. For once people should have faith in the players weve got and have faith in Stale

You seem surprised that some fans have negative views.Maybe it is something to do with the obvious point that we struggled in midfield last week against Derby,and for the first half against lowly Northampton. Yet we have not strenghened in midfield.Do you seriously think Nouble and the kid from Iceland will score the goals to replace Fletcher?The fact that Cardiff signed Maynard and Forest signed Billy Sharp,whilst we did nothing should tell you something.We sold a striker for £12m and signed a replacement who is still adapting for £2m.We have Doyle who is struggling for goals and Ebanks who doesnot look fit.We will have to wait and see,but where are the goals going to come from against tight Championship defences?

The loan market opens up on the seventh of September.So Stale could also strengthen the squad then (if he deems it needs to be done).All in all I believe we made some very good signings this Summer.Seven signings five senior players and two youth development.Not bad for club who has just been relegated.We lost two star players but the money was reinvested.If you look at the players brought in by Stale they are of a very different caliber than any of MM's signings.But most importantly WE ARE WOLVES.
Gibo.

Who cares about deadline day we didn't pay over the odds for someone we didn't want

No we just missed henry on saturday its obvious as i said after the game wivout henry teams go straight through the midfield but wiv henry we will be better

my team:

GK:Ikeme (til hennessey fit)
RB: Foley
CB: Johnson
CB: Margreitter (Berra if he is crap)
LB: Ward
RM: Peszko
CM: Doumbia
CM: Henry
LM: Sako
CAM: Boukari
ST: (Let doyle, ebanks-blake or sigurdarson fight it out

WILKO

Rather have Doyle and Blake than most championship strikers this season. They will be fit, they will find form and will score goals i'm sure of that.
