Finkler signs on loan

[Visage Wolf]

Season long, option to buy for 100k before the loan ends. From txt.

[Nashie]

wow. that seems like a decent deal. lets hope he impresses.

[Kenny-11]

Good stuff. Obviously something about him, rarely does a trialist stay so long. Mick has obviously seen enough to give the go ahead

[Oxford_Wolf]

£100k... that is brilliant.

[Space Wolf]

Good news.

[Bunny Wolf]

Samba Futebol, here we come.

[JAIRDUCOCHET]

Does this use up one of our allocation of loan players ?

[Desert Wolf]

Where are we loaning him from?? :)

[Kenny-11]

Does this use up one of our allocation of loan players ?

Being a loan player........yes. Think we can have 4 season loans (with 2 from this country, or has Champ Manager warped my mind??!!!??)

[Kenny-11]

Where are we loaning him from?? :)

Some Brazilian team, Juvetid or something

[Bankswolf II]

Good to hear lets hope now that he can withstand the hussle and bustle of the championship game

[Kenny-11]

Some Brazilian team, Juvetid or something

or Juventude

[Desert Wolf]

Cheers :)

[ProudWolf]

Do we know his proper position on the pitch? He doesn't sound like an out-an-out winger but has played right midfield in certain friendlies and he doesn't sound like an out-an-out striker but has played as the second striker at times.

[EasternWolf]

Stuart Gray (I think) thought that his technical skills were such that big Championship defenders would stick the foot in rather than be made to look stupid.... so he'll be on a steep learning curve in terms of the physical game in this league. Hope he does well for us and for himself.

I think it shows that Mick will not hang about if he wants to do something. Also that he listens to other people's opinion because he must have got information about Finkler

[Visage Wolf]

Samba Futebol, here we come.

Im sure we all thought the same when we bought Silas.....

[Desert Wolf]

Are they going to start selling Brazil shirts in the club shop??! - another money making scheme for Jez! :rolleyes: :)

[goldeneyed]

Good. The guy is young, has good deadball skills and is creative. As has been said, let's hope he gets a fair chance to show what he can do and learns to deal withe physical challenges at this level.

[scottishwolf II]

blimey - a new manager and two signings in a week.... keep the news coming!

[Bunny Wolf]

[quote=Visage Wolf]Im sure we all thought the same when we bought Silas.....[/quote

I didn't, I like my Samba football from Brazil.

In all seriousness, if you gunna take a bit of a punt on a technical player, better to do it when he's 21 and joining for essentially a pittance.

For over a million Silas needed to work pretty much straight away.

[Wombourne Wolf]

Great news, seems a good deal especially if he turns out to be a gem. I'll get his name on my Brazil shirt now ;)

[HSV Wolf]

Good news if he's any good... pity about the name though 'Finkler', can't help thinking about the Fonz in happy days. Surely he's got one of those flash nick names the Brazilians usually have.... like ELOANIO... lookmuch better on the back of a shirt.

[EasternWolf]

you are right Bunny. We have all cried out for good young players from the lower divisions. This sounds like a real good 'un. Well worth the tiny risk of £100K and his wages.

[Bunny Wolf]

I keep thinking of Ray Finkle/Einhorn from Ace Ventura.

[toomb]

Check out this video of him:

Recorded exclusively at Hednesford

[Wivey Wolf]

Surely the risk is currently just the wages? Then if he is any good, the tiny outlay comes into play? Assuming I'm reading Vis' post correctly.

Maybe Guillermo or something like that. Is he the one called "Jay" or was that Soares, his mate?

Surely that needs to be ELONLOANIO to make Moxey a little more money on the letters?

[EasternWolf]

Even better Wivey. Keep digging and you will probably find he is sponsored by Fray Bentos anyway ..or is that Argentina?

[tammy wolf]

Correct me if i am wrong but did someone post on here a link to finding out what your name was in spanish / portugese on the back of a brazilian shirt.

[EasternWolf]

you mean EL WIVEY tammy?

[westside wolf]

i thought the word from the spanish training camp was that he liked to be called kaka or something similar.

[westside wolf]

http://www.wolves.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10307~871897,00.html

seems he likes to be called "Gui" (pronounced Gee)

[Kenny-11]

i thought the word from the spanish training camp was that he liked to be called kaka or something similar.

Our man on the sideline said the Wolves players called him Kaka.

[Pengwern]

Great Free Kick - just inside the post & dipped nicely although hit powerfully. To contradict the initial report from Hednesford, I think it would have beaten most keepers. Dead ball play is vital in this League (we'd have made the play-offs if Hoddle had added it into his training) & he seems the one to deliver whatever we get within 35 yards,
So I am very hapy with this deal!!!!

[toomb]

He does like a cross between Kaka and Juninho Pernambucana

[paddingtonwolf]

He does like a cross between Kaka and Juninho Pernambucana

If that were true on the skill level I would be duly amazed at the bargaining talents of Merlin!

[Wivey Wolf]

Wivelhino, if you please...

[paddingtonwolf]

ooo - very good Wivey!

[Big Saft Kid]

kaka... sounds like $$$$$

[tammy wolf]

LOL
nice one wivey

[ProudWolf]

Where do we reckon he's going to fit into the team then?

[Essex Wolf]

Good business, hope it continues.

Good point Pengwern. Our free kicks and corners were woeful last season (except for a few from Anderson early on).

Perhaps this signing will 'free up' Naylor to concentrate on other aspects of his game. The sight of Lee trotting over to take right side corners didn't strike fear into the hearts of many defences.

Brave statement on the strength of one free kick against a non league goalkeeper, having said that i hope you're right and i suppose all quality players have to get discovered from somewhere, lets hope we've found a gem.

[yammer]

Over the years Wolves have really lacked players that could even be considered dead ball specialists. Only name that springs to mind from the last 5 years or so is Dennis Irwin and half the time we opted to take a short free kick rather than let him take a shot.

I dunno, I thought our defenders looked pretty concerned.

What, even with Kennedy dropping back to cover?!!

Going back a bit further I remember Mark Venus and Robbie Dennison getting a few. I think Simon Osborne stroked a few in, in a desperate attempt to cover up for his other deficiencies.

[yammer]

Fans sat behind the goal also had to be on their toes.

[brummywolf]

So, just to confirm, even if he scores 20 goals this season and plays brilliantly, the fee won't increase from 100k?

[glasgowwolf]

Naylordhinio, has struck a few.... however far to few to be called a specialist. The one at home V Reading in the play off's was a gud un.

Dennison was the only real specialist I can re-call, in the last 10 - 20 years.

Sheff U at home won the championship, Albion Away equaliser Bully's late late winner, Everton at Wembley....
any more you can remember

[Kenny-11]

So, just to confirm, even if he scores 20 goals this season and plays brilliantly, the fee won't increase from 100k?

Yup.....that 100k fee stays the same whilst he is on loan. I would guess a good few months and he will be signed up in the January window

[Viva Villazan]

Going back a bit further I remember Mark Venus and Robbie Dennison getting a few. I think Simon Osborne stroked a few in, in a desperate attempt to cover up for his other deficiencies.



And going back further again ... has anybody scored for us direct from a corner since Kenny Hibbitt?

[brummywolf]

Yup.....that 100k fee stays the same whilst he is on loan. I would guess a good few months and he will be signed up in the January window

Cheers. Sounds like the perfect deal to me then- unless he is completely carp.

[Citywolf]

Lupo will claim him as one of his own as he holds an Italian passport (negating the need for a work permit).

[toomb]

Naylordhinio, has struck a few.... however far to few to be called a specialist. The one at home V Reading in the play off's was a gud un.

The one at Stoke last year was even better

[Sheriff Woody]

Paul Cook!

[Bunny Wolf]

Lupo will claim him as one of his own as he holds an Italian passport (negating the need for a work permit).

Excellent news, that can be a pain to get as Liverpool and their chilean Gonzalez found out last year.

[Mick Tranter]

Great move in my opinion, no lose situation for us, if he's crap he goes back at the end of the season and if he's good £100k is a bargain.

[BridgnorthWolf Inc]

Where are we loaning him from?? :)

Flippin Heck DW, something you didn't know about events at the Molineux.
Must be slipping!

[Axle]

And going back further again ... has anybody scored for us direct from a corner since Kenny Hibbitt?


Yes, Paul Cook scored against Watford directly from a corner in the early 90's

[Pengwern]

And going back further again ... has anybody scored for us direct from a corner since Kenny Hibbitt?

Cooky!

[Bilston_Wolf]

Against Brighton.

[The Bear]

The WOW report say he also likes to stay behind after training to practise his dead ball skills. A good attitude IMO. I hope he gets plenty of chances to show us what he can do without getting assaulted too much on the pitch. Still, if he can get the ball and win free-kicks around the box, then surely he'll step up to pop a few of them in. Always good to have that sort of player I reckon.

I thought he was supposedly on a free though? At least that's what everyone said on here.

Oh and for the record his name is pronounced GEE-AIR-M Finkler and his nickname is CACA (Kaka plays for Brazil).

[O.W.E.I]

Oh Gawd, he wants to learn the English way of life...keep him away from Leon Clarke!!!

[Bunny Wolf]

Too right - with luck Cornes will take him under his wing.

[tammy wolf]

rumour has it he will have to have a role model mentor over here and cornes has volenteered to do it

[Bunny Wolf]

snooze you lose. ;)

[Nashie]

his nickname is CACA (Kaka plays for Brazil).

I do chuckle at the woefully inappropriate nicknames some of our signings have. Anyone remember Jesus Garcia San Juan (The Bulldozer!).

[Ettingshall Wolf]

Oh Gawd, he wants to learn the English way of life...keep him away from Leon Clarke!!!

...And Cornes! :eek:

[O.W.E.I]

I wonder whether he'll like beans on toast?

[Phys Ed Wolf]

Naylordhinio, has struck a few.... however far to few to be called a specialist. The one at home V Reading in the play off's was a gud un.

Dennison was the only real specialist I can re-call, in the last 10 - 20 years.

Sheff U at home won the championship, Albion Away equaliser Bully's late late winner, Everton at Wembley....
any more you can remember
Burnley at Wembley in Sherpa Van Trophy Final. Thought the one against Everton came from open play? If we're talking open play goals, he had a bit of a renaissance towards the end of his career and scored a beauty of a goal against Man City at the Mol.

[Nashie]

I wonder whether he'll like beans on toast?

I know you are on about Seol but it always reminds me of this John Gregoryu quote about Ellis:

"I'll give you an example. He thinks this training ground is the best in the country. We've got our own chef now, and he [Ellis] will say to me, 'I wonder what those people at Leicester City are having today, John? Probably beans on toast'. When this [training ground] was built, in 1975, it was super-duper, but in 25 years everybody else has caught up or gone past us, and this is like a shanty town now, compared to some."

[Mr Wolf]

Our last free kick specialiist was Tony Dinning, can't believe none of you remembered. Do you not remember when he scored 8,000 free kicks for Stockport then we signed him and the nearest he got was the post. ;)

Gui looks like he could be a good addition to the squad but I'm not going to wet my pants over him just yet, 1 and a half good performances in 4 from what I've read. I hope he finds his feet quick, a couple of good performances will help him settle much quicker and happier.

[Benny Dorm]

http://www.minimalsworld.net/BrazilName/brazilian.shtml

"Guilhermiano" as it turns out. I think Jez must have checked out what it was before he sanctioned the move!

[Del Woppio]

Yup.....that 100k fee stays the same whilst he is on loan. I would guess a good few months and he will be signed up in the January window

I can't wait for the 'is he a new signing' debate on 02/01/07...

[Kenny-11]

I can't wait for the 'is he a new signing' debate on 02/01/07...

It's Wolves.......the signing will happen on 27th after weeks of nervy contract talks that obviously will contain a pie clause and Rick asking Gee about Rugby Union.

[glasgowwolf]

I can't wait for the 'is he a new signing' debate on 02/01/07...

Cannot be a new signing then, he is a new signing now
(Insert Winking smiley here)

[Axle]

Does that make him a 'winker' in the Ronaldo vernacular, or merely 'Winkler' in the 60's use of the term?

Does it really matter?

No, but seeing as we're waiting for new signings/the season to start it passes/$$$$$es the time away.

[HazelGroveWolf]

Yes, Paul Cook scored against Watford directly from a corner in the early 90's

I seem to remember seeing him do it on more than one occasion.

[Axle]

I also remember that it was the last time we had a fully functional and balanced midfield. (Steele excepted of course).

[stuj4z]

i thought we should keep him after only seeing him play at telford where he wasnt great but did show some good touches.

he seems to have adapted well in the pre-season games from what ive read, now all we need is a holding midfielder and a couple of strikers and we should be ok

classic :D

[Flitwick Wolf]

Our last free kick specialiist was Tony Dinning, can't believe none of you remembered.

Remember????

I can remember the Boxing Day game up at Stockport when he did it us. To this day I still think that goal was the only reason we signed him!!!!

[Wonder Boyo]

I seem to remember seeing him do it on more than one occasion.

Does anyone remember Paul Cook having a shot from near the half way line that crashed against the underside of the bar? It wasn't a chip it was a full blooded shot. It was at Molineux, can't remember against who, maybe Bolton in the playoffs, near the end of the game? It would have been the greatest ever goal at Molineux!

[Bunny Wolf]

How tall is Finkler? Judging by the pics on the site he's about the same height as the new McMick McCarthy burger who's what 6ft? Or is Finkler just standing on a step?

[EasternWolf]

Finkler, the new penalty king for us ...now all we need is franek and cort to stay behind after training to learn how to fall over in the box ...

[Ashley]

they need to get into the box first and off of the wing!

[Lupo Italiano]

How tall is Finkler? Judging by the pics on the site he's about the same height as the new McMick McCarthy burger who's what 6ft? Or is Finkler just standing on a step?

Big Mick is Big. He is 6'2".

No nonsence!

[johnybig32]

Irwin was our last free kick specialist?

Good news on the signingfront. Wasnt too impressed with appointment but is growing on me all the time!

[Ashley]

how many did he score. I remember the one at home to Burnley but that's all.

[Black Suit]

Are they going to start selling Brazil shirts in the club shop??! - another money making scheme for Jez! :rolleyes: :)

Sadly with Le Coq on rather than Nike. We need some samba wear for the luvverly laydees or better still, body paint!

[Ashley]

Finkler will play fantastic on sat but never be seen again! Lol

[Gio Pippinardi]

He can be our hero...or our Silas!!! His future is on his hands.(...or feet). We will see...

[Cosmo Kramer]

desperation .. i hope he proves a welcome squad addition

dont get your hopes up hes achived what so far ??

[wolfie smith]

$$$$ me, one minute mccarthy is saying we need experience then he signs a young nobody from brazil, make your $$$$ing mind up mick;)

nothing to lose signing really hope it goes well for him

[kennyB]

Good grief, stop the whining already and get behind the team. Going to need a lot of luck and support this season in order to stay up.

[Rocky_Balllboa]

Hope this turns out to be a great move :)

[tammy wolf]

agreed rocky i hope he can shine, maybe if he scores a goal he will teach the south bank to samba at the corner flag !:D

[Wolfman jack]

Just looking at some of these posts. How long before "Mick" becomes "McCarthy" becomes "old hook nose"? Just a thought
