If Barry Douglas is so good how has he got to the age of 27 playing in a rubbish league why hasn't he been dragged back sooner. celtic fans don't want him back. not being negative it's taken us years to finally get rid of the rubbish don't want us to make the mistake of bringing on another. might be wrong.



28 Jun 2017 01:49:07
Neither the Polish nor Turkish leagues are rubbish, arguably the Turkish league is better than the championship, there's some big talents over there. People underestimate the abilities within foreign leagues and if Douglas has been able to succesfully compete in these leagues then I think the touted £1 million fee is nigh on a bargain. We've been crying out for a left footed left back since Golbourne left and this bloke may just be the answer.



28 Jun 2017 03:17:16
1. Turkish and Polish leagues are generally better than the Championship. He's been there because he wanted a different challenge.
2. He has never played for Celtic so not sure what you mean by "back" unless you mean Scotland but he hasn't played there for four years so they wouldn't know what he's like.
3. "Not being negative"? You're writing off a potential signing you know nothing about before he's even kicked a ball. That's the definition of negative.



28 Jun 2017 06:20:38
No Wednesfield is the definition of negative, he can't help it he probably wrote himself off before he was born. Take no notice.



28 Jun 2017 07:33:19
Think his wife will make or break this deal as far as I can make out she wants live back in Scotland hence the Celtic link but sure once she seen that the midlands isn't the black hole abyss that most country thinks it is she will see benefit off a move to wolves for her husband.



28 Jun 2017 08:19:32
LOL people often say Wolverhampton isn't as bad as they expected I don't know what they were expecting something like Mordor lol

She might want somewhere upmarket like Bournemouth.



28 Jun 2017 10:06:39
If she been Glasgow the local tip be upmarket if wolvo good enough for cavs mrs be good enough for her 😂.



28 Jun 2017 13:40:55
Turkish league ain't that bad tbh, there's some decent teams in there tbh, and I read a tweet of someone saying he has tracked his progress since he left Dundee and he said wolves were below him as a player so clearly stating we're not good enough for him and also think a lot of our money is going on CMs and STs tbh but with the style of coach Nuno is he'll make us very good defensively look at his defensive record at other clubs it's very good.

Also he happens have the habit of making players better&a look at Valencia first manager since about 2008 to get he CL football finished with record points, rio ave give him a chance I think it's clear he's having a say on transfers he hasn't made managed at the level he has for no reason and I'm not surprised we haven't seen many mendes players come in go look at his signings at other teams very few mendes players that he's actually signed.



27 Jun 2017 16:27:37
Wolves apparently interested in left back barry douglas although can see him going to celtic. Only have matt docherty who plays there and with silvio now gone there may be some substance in the rumour.



27 Jun 2017 16:58:05
Could do a job for us, I'd prefer Kenedy from Chelsea on loan. Was on loan at Watford last year, needs game time but wages would be a draw back.



27 Jun 2017 17:14:44
Douglas has a very sweet left foot and can certainly take a free kick. Proper left back who can defend and get forward. Would be an excellent acquisition, especially at the quoted fee of £750k.



27 Jun 2017 22:07:28
Why Kennedy mathmo when he is a left winger?



28 Jun 2017 10:26:22
Kenedy not Kennedy Brazilian Left Back.



27 Jun 2017 15:05:01
Carl ikeme said be close to move to Pompey if true Nuno etc must have 2gk lined up as replacements for ikeme and lonagon - top euro gk on way? 🤔.



27 Jun 2017 15:32:29
Iker casillas I heard 👀.



27 Jun 2017 16:31:13
Flatt has gone out on a year loan as well so I cannot see CI going anywhere personally.



27 Jun 2017 17:02:41
Hope your right benb, was 25-1 shot getting him on oddschecker, Liverpool odds on though. 8-1 John Ruddy.



27 Jun 2017 23:22:53
Hard to say with Ikeme on his day he is one of the best keepers in the Championship but he does make some clangers and has habit of hitting walls :P.



28 Jun 2017 09:59:57
Loris Karius on a season long loan please with Harry Burgoyne as back up. Send Jack Ruddy out on loan ready to challenge Burgoyne in 2018/ 19.



27 Jun 2017 14:01:16
seems like Terry Taylors on his way.



27 Jun 2017 14:35:35
Him, MGW and Ronan are the midfield future hopefully.



27 Jun 2017 14:36:38
And the rest of the goodies?



27 Jun 2017 15:06:09
no, I think it's the one from the Carry On Films, tbh.



27 Jun 2017 17:15:15
In which case we'd need Jack Douglas or Angela Douglas not Barry Douglas.



27 Jun 2017 18:08:49
Angela Douglas, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.



27 Jun 2017 19:14:50
Tim Brooke-Taylor.
Terry Thomas.



27 Jun 2017 21:46:39
Terry Taylor and Barry Douglas. 😂😂😂 we're basically turning into a WW2 squadron.



27 Jun 2017 13:28:52
Goalkeeper john flatt gone to cheltenham on season long loan. Safely say were looking somewhat bare in that department so definetely will be after another keeper.
Also read that silvio wasnt interested whatsoever in taking up the years option. Wonder what that means, didn't enjoy the culture, country, league, club? Who knows. Pity as he looked ok when fit.



27 Jun 2017 13:44:57
Sounds like another 4 to b shown the door maybe 5 or 6 Silvio Ebanks landell lonergan and price definitely.



27 Jun 2017 11:26:08
We're rumoured to be after Felix Wiedwald, Werder Bremen goalkeeper.



27 Jun 2017 12:08:13
Yes, heard that too. Ironic that we are playing Werder Bremen in pre season match soon, I wonder which side Felix will be with for that! I have also heard Wolves are showing interest in Bournemouth winger Max Gradel. He wants away from Bournemouth as wants game time so he keeps his place in Ivory coast squad ahead of next summers world cup. He is a right handful and plays on left wing, he is lightening quick and beats defenders often with ease, so with him on left and Costa on the right defenders would have a right headache - Bring it on Jeff!



27 Jun 2017 12:26:36
No goals or assists in 11 games last season, would have been great in the old Wolves. We're trying to get rid of players with goal scoring records like that.

Perhaps could do something dropping a division but no good for us next year in the Prem

Viva la revolution.



27 Jun 2017 13:21:45
To be fair most of 11 appearances were from the bench as he had been out for 6 months. He did actually score one too. Just for the record! Admittedly though he is a championship player really as opposed to premier leauge but he is very effective at that level, ask any Leeds fan. He had loads of assists when with them and chipped in with a reasonable return on goals for an out and out winger (which is what he basically is) I'm not too bothered about premier league quality as such, can sort that out as and when we become a premier league club, but for now the job is to get out of that league and I genuinely believe he could help our squad achieve that.



27 Jun 2017 13:59:09
Fair point, but do we need another winger. We've got Costa/ Zyro Right and Cav/ Graham Left. If we could get GK, LB, CM, LM and CF sorted first, if funds were still available then perhaps Gradel could be useful.



27 Jun 2017 14:35:06
I don't think you will have to wait very long to see us sign the new CF you are asking for. As for CM I think we actually need two! We have been linked recently to Grant Leadbitter. I think that would be a very good signing his contract with Boro is up in December. They probably want to keep him! ¬ but that is kind of quality/ experience we are sadly lacking in midfield. Has been the case for far too long.



27 Jun 2017 09:28:36
Costa is staying!



27 Jun 2017 09:41:01
Well done fosun.



27 Jun 2017 10:00:09
I'll believe that the day after the transfer window closes.



27 Jun 2017 11:14:20
No way is Dicko leaving, in spite of statements on this site to the contrary. I'm not as sure about Costa, but fairly sure he is staying. They were developing one a hell of a partnership in the latter part of the season.



27 Jun 2017 13:27:48
latter part of the season Costa didn't play so didn't see the partnership.



27 Jun 2017 14:37:42
Ajwolf, obviously when they did play together before Costa was injured. Away to Brentford, away to Fulham, home to Cardiff? I'm talking March/ April and I call that the latter part of the season.



27 Jun 2017 09:05:04
Another one out in next day or so Sylvain is to be released.



27 Jun 2017 09:34:36
Deslandes - I mean ^^^.



27 Jun 2017 09:57:09
Oyes bro just read it on twitter.



27 Jun 2017 11:14:18
So far we've got rid of Gladon, Saville, Wallace, Henry, Silvio and Williamson. Lonegran and Ebanks Landell are also likely to leave. Add to that all the loan deals, we've got rid of about 10 players. 3 have come in so far and I read somewhere that another 4 on on the way and Nuno will be looking at the squad thus week to see who else he wants to get rid of. This seems to be the most exciting pre season for a long time.



27 Jun 2017 12:22:09
No, his contract was extended in May. That twitter page got it wrong.
