Wolves Rumours Archive January 31 2017

31 Jan 2017 22:35:06
Marshall 3.5 year deal 1.5 mill

01 Feb 2017 08:37:19
Not sure why we have chased Marshall, a right winger- perhaps the left footed Costa will play left wing. I would rather of had Rhodes.

01 Feb 2017 09:42:08
I still think not buying a quality striker, like Rhodes will likely bite us on the you know where later this season. Cost us a real chance of making it to the PL. Another great result last night. Well done to the team and PL. 👍😉

01 Feb 2017 10:15:21
You really believe we could have made it to the prem this season?
Jesus Christ.

01 Feb 2017 10:42:11
I agree, the playoffs are not a million miles away from us. We are 10 points away, I think we missed a trick to not go for bogle and taylor could have even loaned out Dicko for the rest of the season to league 1. Let him score goals and get his confidence back for next season.

01 Feb 2017 11:20:22
Marshall bought with a public price of £1.2m. I am told it was less, but Blackburn happy for that figure to be quoted.
Lambert know this guy and clearly has a role for him in the future team.
Totally agree we need a PL quality Striker, but this is the wrong time to buy!
Lambert will have his targets and I would be pretty sure he has already agreed a Budget with Jeff, so he knows how high up the "Food-Chain" he can go for all the Positions he feels he needs to strengthen.
We should be ALL feeling positive. Lambert likes Costa and pursuaded Jeff to pay out mega money, he has Andreas Weimann in on loan, who looked good against Liverpool and now Marshall.
Clearly Fosun are now seriously backing him!

01 Feb 2017 12:22:27
I think Lambert is looking ahead with strikers. Weimann scored 12 goals in a PL season for Lambert. I would rather have him than Rhodes who has so far failed in the PL. Lambert obviously rates Dicko, and Dicko is playing well although not scoring, but his quality is there at this level.

01 Feb 2017 15:01:21
I don't know if a top quality striker would make much of a difference as many of our goals come from midfield or set balls from defenders. It's the way we play. The strikers mostly hold the ball up front and they do have shots - just not very successful ones.

We have Mason, Dicko, Bright, Bod, Zyro and now Weimann with Costa, Cav, Ronan, Graham and depending on how your mind works, Edwards just behind. That's better than most clubs. Or should be. Patience.

Very soon Bod will shock us all with a hattrick.

01 Feb 2017 16:28:14
Think Lambert is doing a great job, giving playing time to all players he wants to keep most likely or giving everyone a chance to prove themselves of interest and have to admire the game time he is giving to the kids, also Lambert says Marshall can play full back, also any were across the front or just behind also with championship experience could be a good sighning, let's not forget Andrea's Weimann, also can play up front or wide, so why would we want to pay 9 million for Rhodes when he cannot get in Borough side, proves not a premier player, anyway he as been sold or loaned to Sheffield Wednesday, I do not pretend that we need strengthening in key areas but Lambert with the experience he is showing will no doubt in my mind given time will get it right, the performances so far prove that, the players seam to be enjoying there football and there seams to be a buzz about the place, hope it continues.

01 Feb 2017 15:55:55
They just paid £13m on one player, was that not enough? Rhodes would cost another £10m. Also, it's the defence which needs it most and Hanley is the player you should be regretting, if anyone.

01 Feb 2017 15:49:24
I agree to most of what you say Rugeleywolf2. However, I still stand by what I say, we missed a trick by NOT signing a quality striker! We've just won 4 of our last 5 games, which is fantastic. Now is the time to put your foot down and ensure we've got a striker that can actually do that, strike.

Time will tell! Every year players are costing more and more to buy. Finding good proven quality strikers is not easy! As I've already said their value increases year on year and Rhodes is a proven commodity. 👍😉⚽️

01 Feb 2017 17:49:43
As you say won four of five so why upset the applecart

01 Feb 2017 19:13:46
Carl Cort is on a free. Just saying.

01 Feb 2017 22:00:55
Was that the first transfer window in a while where Frimpong hasn't been a serious suggestion?

02 Feb 2017 07:10:47
Word on the street up north is that Rhodes was always going to Sheff Wed because of his rather connection to the club. General view seems to be that his best role has been the final bit of quality to bring off the bench to get you promoted. But not a prem player so unload when promoted. He has been a good investment iin the past but with a new club every year how long will that last? We do have good options and PL would have given Ennis a chance if not injured. But I think PL may be tempted to Gallagher in the summer currently on loan at Blackburn.

02 Feb 2017 07:57:49
The teams in the playoffs are there for a reason, do you really think were going to pick up that many more points than them?

02 Feb 2017 09:32:24
Seems that we will just have to get Robbie Keane in then

02 Feb 2017 10:00:17
Robbie Keane is a free agent, presumably. We could sign him if we wanted.

02 Feb 2017 10:36:35
Further down this thread someone actually said why upset the apple cart by getting an additional striker. Well all I can say is every really successful team has its 20 goal a season striker doesn't it? How many of ours actually strike? They don't have that composure needed when in front of goal.

That's what you pay for. I still think we will regret not getting a Rhodes in this last window. We needed to put our foot down while we are getting some momentum. Long may our current form last. They are doing a great job. Now was not the time to address the issue. 👍😉⚽️

31 Jan 2017 20:43:57
Can forget Jordan Rhodes he gone to Sheff Wednesday 9mil

31 Jan 2017 17:46:31
Fee agreed for Marshall.

31 Jan 2017 18:39:14
Where you heard that a c? . Any more news anyone?

31 Jan 2017 18:42:20
Fee 1.5m agreed on his way to Wolverhampton for talks and medical according to Blackburn sites.

31 Jan 2017 18:45:56
Thanks Hednesford Wolf. 👍🏼👍🏼

31 Jan 2017 19:48:25
Do you guys think we need Marshall now we have signed Costa? Unless PL wants to play him at right back but I thought Marshall wanted to leave Blackburn because they kept playing him at right back. Could have spent the money on bogle or Taylor or even spent on a CM or CB

31 Jan 2017 18:03:29
I just read it's off lol

31 Jan 2017 20:52:31
It's probably because Cav is injuried until April

31 Jan 2017 16:19:26
Matty taylor signs for bristol city

31 Jan 2017 16:41:33
Gutted about that, and for just 300k as well. I'd like to know why we didn't persue his signature.

31 Jan 2017 16:58:59
Next time I speak to PL, I will inform him he must ask you first who to sign.

31 Jan 2017 17:29:40
I will forward CoreyKirkham to PL's private email box just incase he misses something important during a transfer window.

31 Jan 2017 18:56:46
Probably because he didn't want him corey!

31 Jan 2017 19:20:17
There was a bloke on here the other day saying we would sign absolutely nobody and Costa would go back to Benfica.

With Weimann coming in on loan, signing Costa and Marshall, it looks to me like real ambition by Fosun. Very exciting times.

31 Jan 2017 19:37:18
Yea read that to what a plonka he must feel now probably another in the know poster!

31 Jan 2017 20:09:04
The plonka was I
The realist,
The winner is Jorge Mendes not WWFC trust me.

31 Jan 2017 20:19:13
Why should we trust you?

31 Jan 2017 20:22:20
So, Realist, are you saying you would not have signed Costa?

31 Jan 2017 20:12:01
sounds like a pompeywolf statement to me lol

31 Jan 2017 22:05:53
So mendes gets a percentage of future sell on so what don't most agents realist

31 Jan 2017 11:41:45
Ex-player ITK reckons Batth might go to Sheff Wed if Hanley signs from Newcastle and Joe Hart might join Wolves in summer if wage demands met.

31 Jan 2017 11:47:08
Troll

31 Jan 2017 11:48:58
Joe Hart. Really? As much as I would love him surely that isn't a realistic rumour!

31 Jan 2017 12:59:50
What a load of old rubbish! Batth won't move until the summer and there's no chance we'll sign Hart; Ikeme is as good, if not better!

31 Jan 2017 13:11:58
Hart is wanted by West Ham and Liverpool so no.

31 Jan 2017 13:52:03
I can't see Hart wanting to sit on the bench! Ikeme should rightly remain the No 1 keeper. With Lonergan back fit and young Harry, goalkeeper is not a position we should worry about at the moment.

31 Jan 2017 17:37:04
Apparently we were after him in the summer

31 Jan 2017 00:14:40
Still being told by media pal, Ross McCormack could join us on loan or 5 mil, Big no in my opinion, but in PL we trust.

31 Jan 2017 06:33:35
If he does end up coming I think paul lambert will get best out of hom like he has for the other players this year

31 Jan 2017 07:44:15
We just need another 15/16 players of Costa quality in all our other positions and then we should be getting somewhere near the mark. It's going to be a long journey chaps and certainly won't happen overnight unless we spend big and get very lucky along the way. This is where it all starts.! 😉👍⚽️

31 Jan 2017 09:52:03
McCormack likely to join Brentford on loan after hogan deal.

31 Jan 2017 10:33:36
Don't get me wrong it's great news we've signed our best player. However, if we want to get amongst it we still need the same quality in many other positions around the pitch. At the sharp end in particular! A tried and tested quality goal scorer is at least what we need.

I see the Villians are signing Scot Hogan. We need tried and tested quality of that level. As each season goes by these players transfer fees just escalate. So the longer we keep scrapping about below the middle of the feeding barrel the more it's going to cost in the long term isn't it?

PL is doing a good job so far and it's great we've signed our best player. Not really moaning so much as just saying it as it is? 👍😉⚽️

31 Jan 2017 10:51:09
Wolves have been told to cough up £6m to land Hanley. I hope BJeff just does it now ffp has gone out of the window.

31 Jan 2017 11:45:06
Hanley in, Batth to Sheff Wed. Marshall in, Iorfa to West Ham. Then Gladon to Sparta Rotterdam. Might be timed out by deadline though. Batth not happy.

31 Jan 2017 11:55:05
TristanBarnes-Farquar Gladon isn't going anywhere as he's already played for 2 teams this season, and can't play for a third.

31 Jan 2017 12:18:29
I hope BJeff just does it now ffp has gone out of the window.
Financial fair play is not out of the window. It is taken over a 3 year period. We certainly didn't spend much over the previous 2 years on transfers and wage structure was in the lower embers of the division. so there is scope, the problem arises if we haven't gained promotion in 2 years. Then we won't have a hope in hell of avoiding it. Still buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride but 1 that is a lot more interesting and enjoyable than under the 2 m's.

31 Jan 2017 13:05:43
Hanley (Loan) Marshall (£1.8m) and Rhodes (Loan) on the way to Molineux

31 Jan 2017 15:34:55
Yes, 1877 some now saying Rhodes the new target loan or 5 mil that would be a snip I think.

31 jan 2017 15:58:55
would certainly seal a good 7 days!

31 Jan 2017 15:07:40
and yet all we ever here from E&S is 'no activity', lol. Hanley hasn't even been mentioned by Tim Spiers. Either he's a very bad reporter, or it's all just garbage as usual.

31 Jan 2017 15:12:04
My own feeling is that Shi is playing it cool for 2 years and working within the ffp rules (thus the original £30m investment quote) but will eventually throw massive amounts of money into it. Altho ffp is unclear, it seems this way to me. Maybe someone can elaborate?
