ive also heard were after pogatetz. Think that he would be a good defensive target if true.

ED does boukari fit the description of the player who was supposedly at the mount hotel with two scottish agents?

Also do you think margueritta will play tomorrow? {Ed011's Note - I heard us linked with Pogatetz, haven't heard about the Scottish agents and Boukari at the Mount but it sounds like a Poirot case about to take place and Margreitter isn't playing and won't be in the squad.

Pogatetz only joined wolfsburg about a month ago from hannover

Pogatetz is not true he only signed for wolfburg in June

Really? Pogatetz only signed for Wolfsburg in June....

Just had a look at Emanuel Pogatetz wiki page his nickname is mad dgo lol , then on the same search in the images he has blood pumping out of his head and does not seem too bothered.Sounds and looks like a good'un to me.
Gibo.

He won't play today (Sat) since he's gone home after is medical and signing. Will be available for next match

Pogatetz has signed for the Wolves in Germany...

Given an earlier observation of mine about the level of effort required by players, it is interesting to note Steve McClaren's assessment of Emanuel Pogatetz. While managing him at Middlesbrough, McClaren's stated that EP never gave less 300% in performance. Now, that's the sort of shift we demand! Of course, in the SS era we require skill too.

Pogatetz is a good/tough (sometimes recklessly!) defender, but he's only just been signed (July) for Wolfsburg. I can't see him being released unless we offer some silly money...

Is he more 'reckless' than Kevin Muscat was?

At Christmas Muscat got more cards from the referees than from friends and family! To use him as a benchmark for recklessness probably isn't appropriate!

What's going on with Christian Bolanos Ed? {Ed011's Note - Some people saying he could be signed within 48 hours according to unattributed foreign media outlets, others saying we're just looking at him.

Any news on Claudemir ed or was it just speculation. {Ed011's Note - Seems like it's just rumours at the moment but with our tight lipped club who knows? No one had really mentioned Margreitter's name until the "Margreitter signs for Wolves" headlines.

True, apart from that taxi driver of course. {Ed011's Note - True.

would be interesting to see if matt ritchie is in swindon's squad tomorrow

He was decent in league 2! Wolves are a big club. Lets go for someone like tom ince.

Wolves today denied any interest

Highly unlikely we'll go for Matt Philips. Blackpool have just refused a 5 million bid from Southampton. So it looks like it will take silly money 2 get him..

Why should Tom Ince come to Wolves, he already plays for a better team.

what position does jakobsson play n anyone no anything about him

{Ed011's Note - All I know is that he's a 17 year old Swedish Midfielder and a prospect for the future but Truls Månsson, Chairman of the Swedish Wolves Supporters Club has described him as the following in an article in the Birmingham Mail:

"Tim Jakobsson is very unknown in Sweden, he is only 17 years old, and he doesn't play in our top division, actually nowhere near.

"He plays for IK Frej, a team in the Swedish Div 1 (Third division), the reason that he is in England is that IK Frej loaned two players from Hull City last season. When one from the Hull City training staff went to see them in Sweden he spotted Tim and flew him over to England where Tim trained one week for Leicester City and one week for Hull City.

"Nick Barmby (Hull City) wanted him but was sacked and the new manager Steve Bruce was not interested, which was a letdown for Tim since he had everything ready for a contract with Barmby's Hull.

"But, luckily, when Tim played a match for Hull City, Wolves scouts where watching and when they heard Tim didn't get a contract they invited him to Wolves, and they obviously liked him.

"Tim has attracted English clubs before, he was in Leicester when he was 14-years-old and he has also been linked with Stoke about two years ago, so he is obviously very talented.

Tim is a midfielder and very positive, happy, good attitude, always smiling. He started as a youth player in IF Brommapojkarna which is Sweden's most famous nursing club for talents, remember Anders Limpar (Arsenal)?

"Tim is no star here yet, almost completely unknown, but at only 17 of course very talented.

"In interviews it's obvious that he made up his mind early to be a professional football player. He quit school before the 17-19 years old level to really give football a chance, which is not normal in Sweden. So he is a typical "one for the future"

SteveBullStand - Wolves have signed sweden youngster Tim Jakobsson on a 2 year deal from IK Frej for an Undisclosed fee

Moxey did say he is going to get new players in

Buying 17 year old i though dave jones was back

SSN: WOLVES SNARE 17 YEAR OLD SWEDISH STARLET, TIM JACOBBSEN

I can't believe the Dave Jones comment...rap over the knuckles for whoever is filtering these posts! {Ed011's Note - My bad. Although I'd rather you told him off as well as me! It wasn't my comment!

Fair enough ed! Point taken. Must be hard to keep up with amount of positive activity anyway at the moment! {Ed011's Note - To be honest I'm just glad to not have another day of hundreds of "Reports that Fletcher and Jarvis deals are close to being done". Onwards and upwards!! Come on you Wolves!

Sorry, it was in bad taste, but still made me chuckle while writing it lol

Development team comes to mind...

I bet this kid will be loaned straight out?

24 Aug 2012 16:50:10
everton are after doyle and ward THE MAIL.moxey no doubt will want 15m plus for the pair lol.one robbing b-----d theres only one robbing b-----d {Ed011's Note - I think you mean £15m each? Moxey at his best!

Sorry ed yeh 15m each with add ons.moxey unreal

Daily Mail. More like Daily Fail.

I would give these players away or bogof {Ed011's Note - I think they'll both be decent in the quality, either Solbakken will make Ward a better player or bring in better and he'll bring the best out of Doyle.

24 Aug 2012 16:14:38
Anything happening with Berra or doesn't any other club want him?

Do you blame them for not ! He is worst defender wolves have had in years, can you name any worse defenders than him ? I remember John Holsgrove he was awful .

John holsgrove sheer class, now what about derek jefferson

He played well the other night. Would rather have him than Steraman.

AW

Neill Collins

Elokobi, stearman

Derek Jefferson

Yea STEARMAN

I always liked Neill Collins. He really did try.

Knowing that Wolves will be happy to let Berra go clubs will wait until as late as possible to get Berra on the cheap.
I think the clubs who have played against him will value him higher than a lot of the fans. {Ed011's Note - I think by playing him we've shown that if he has to stay he will stay and we'll play him if we need to and the fans didn't particularly show that they angry at him against Barnsley. In that respect I think we should still hold out for our valuation of him.

Given his qualities, the favourites should be Heriots or Hawick

Anyone remember simon coleman

Eric Young

Nobody remember the clown Gallagher we signed from Brum complete waste of £500,000

Bryan law. Anyone remember him? Nicked a bus n crashed it! Lol.

Kevin Muscat ! The dirtiest player on the planet.

Wasnt it kevin ashley

Personally I'd have Robbie Brady to replace Jarvis. The main reason being the age he's 20/21 so is still very young and has masses of ability and potential to be much better than Jarvis. With regards to Christian Bolanos as much as he looks and amazing technically gifted winger it's his age that puts me off especially being a winger.

Legs will be gone in 3 or 4 seasons.

What 28? hardly old is it considering giggs is 10 years older than him n still going we might go for both of em considering were not exactly over run with wingers good on1s i mean

Yeah but giggs plays less of a wide position and more centrally nowadays anyway, which by the look of Bolanos he could do the same too.

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey this afternoon vowed to invest in players quickly from the £24m sales of Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis after admitting the team was "exposed".

hope he sticks to his word and we bring in some quality to get us up into the big time

TDW

I reckon Uncles Jez and Steve now realize they have to invest in quality players to get us out of the championship and know we need to build a team to keep us in the premier league.I genuinely believe Uncle Jez's comments.The G&S also saying we are closing in on a left winger.

Gibo.

Hot off the press - Reporter to Moxey " When can you expect the next signing to come in "

Moxey " Well were tieing up a deal now as you speak so if you let me leave this interview I can get back to it "

Gibo.

Any idea who it is I reckon Brady. Hopefully claudemir longshot.

Isn't it the Swedish youngster, Jakobsson?

Dont forget jez is a lying b****** he said that last year {Ed011's Note - Forget last year! Try being optimistic for once!

24 Aug 2012 13:28:31
Wolves closing in on the signing of Claudemir de Souza for £5 million from FC Copenhagen. Expected to be completed within the next week.

Yessss yes yes hope this is true ed is it. {Ed011's Note - Looking into it.

He is awesome! Where's that come from? Really can't see us getting him! SS has said in the past that this guy is the best signing he ever made! He has made team of the week a number of times in the Champions League!

Might be a problem with a work permit though!

Agree that there may be some work permit issues. Having never been capped by Brazil it will depend on if he's got a European passport.

I'm guessing he's got a portuguese passport so work permit may not be an issue. I've got a mate who is an agent to a lot of players based in Scandinavia. I'm seeing him tomorrow so will ask him if he knows anything. I'll post anything I find out on Sunday. He was talking a few weeks back about Wolves looking at a lot of American players but the work permits were an issue then.
Armitage Cow (not an insider or contact of estate agent or an ill informed vicar)

How come ? does it stem from when LFC wanted him ? Milijas got a work permit with a drink driving offence.I'm lost on the work permit side of things.
Gibo. {Ed011's Note - There were no problems with Peszko too despite his whimsical-drunken-taxi-driver-attacking-adventures.

Work permits are granted if the player is playing international football

peszko didnt need a work permit as poland is inside the eu

Poland is in the EU therefore no need for a permit.

Is he any different to Doumbia? I can't see where he'd fit in.

But Peszko is entitled to work in the E.U because he is Polish and does not have a criminal conviction.So why are foreign players not allowed work permits to play football ? what is the criteria ?
Gibo.

They must have played 75% of national teams games with last year at any level ie u21 u19 or main team etc....

Yes that's why clubs always seem to sign international players from minor footballing nations. (Like we did from Algeria).

We have signed Georg Margreitter , confirmed by Wolves.

Gibo.

Wolves have completed the signing of highly-rated 23-year-old Austrian central defender Georg Margreitter from FK Austria Wien.
The Austrian Under-21 international has put pen to paper on a four year contract after completing a medical and agreeing terms to move to Molineux.
Margreitter has been capped 11 times at Austrian Under-21 level, scoring three goals, and is regarded as one of the most highly-rated young players in his country.

Does anyone know if he's really any good? (Recalling the last Austrian we had beginning with M).

another undisclosed fee can someone explain why we're the only club that does this with every transfer

That have got to be hiding something

Reason is moxey is a person

We was one of the first club to use undisclosed fee's but now its the norm mate

Mills wolf

We use the undisclosed fee thing because a few years ago we were seen as a soft touch in the transfer market. if a team put a player on the transfer list they would hope that wolves or man utd would come in for them. its not a bad thing if you ask me. :-)

Very few teams disclose the fees they have paid or they have received. person !

Because this isn't Football Manager.

24 Aug 2012 12:19:01
It's on the wolves website that we have signed georg margreitter on a 4 year deal

Boukari in talks with us right midfielder

Hope so , things are starting to look up.In Stale we trust.
Gibo.

Think we've got enough cover on the right.. Im more concerned with whose gona play on the LEFT now?

Pezko can play either side. Given the choice he prefers playing down the left.

Boukari isnt the answer im sorry to say.
I live in Lille having married a french woman and have seen him play many times.Not fit to lace Jarvis`s boots.What are we playing at trying to sign this guy oh dear!

24 Aug 2012 09:03:55
Wolves were today closing in on the signing of £2m-rated Austria Vienna
centre-back Georg Margreitter as the club starts to spend the £24m war chest
from the expected sales of Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis. Boss Stale Solbakken is keen to rebuild with the exit of Fletcher and Jarvis, due to
be completed today, netting up to £24m. He also wants a winger, with FC Copenhagen™s £3m-rated Christian Bolanos and Manchester
United™s Robbie Brady, who would cost £1.2m, among those on the radar, along with others from
northern Africa. Commanding 23-year-old stopper Margreitter, who has a year left on his contract, flew to
England yesterday with his agent after being given permission by Vienna to start talks. Wolves, who confirmed they are trying to conclude a deal for the defender, watched the 11-
capped Austria Under-21 international impress during their 1-0 win at SV Ried on Sunday and
acted quickly on the move.

Not a rumour but what about David tempelton (spelling) from hearts looked impressive last night vs Liverpool anyone watched him or no anything about him

Scottish league. LEAGUE 1 standard

West Brom and Everton are battling it out to sign FC Copenhagen left-back Bryan Oviedo, 22.If he is on our radar the sh*t or the toffees could scurpur the deal , though the Solbakken effect could have a part to play.

Gibo.

Let's be honest, he will probably favour Premiership, so as long as chooses Everton...

I can't see him choosing Everton with them having Baines and his game time would be limited.

So let's hope Wolves get him eh ?
