Eastwood agrees to Wolves switch

[wwfc1877]

With the E&S reporting that Eastwood will be our first signing next week, do you think the Sharp deal is dead in the water or, as reported, will we sign both?

[whitemouse75]

dunno, wot do u fink?

[Oxford_Wolf]

Great now we can get on to buying two good centre backs.

[fullmoon]

Get Sharp and one good centre back ;)

[Nashie]

Great now we can get on to buying two good centre backs.

Why 2 centre backs? I thought Collins and Edwards looked really solid. We also have Breen and Craddock as backup.

[Powelly]

Good value at £1.25m IMO, about the right price for him

[wanderer24]

Great now we can get on to buying two good centre backs.

Seconded. Oh, and a full back who can play both flanks. Oh and Sharp and another winger.

[Bilston_Wolf]

We are still after Sharp

[Oxford_Wolf]

Vis, any news on when the press conference is?

[Powelly]

Vis, any news on when the press conference is?

at a guess it may well be part of the same one as the takeover completion one early next week

would attract more media interest and a PR coup if Morgan unveils a couple of exciting signings on his official first day in office

[Oxford_Wolf]

Didn't they mention unveling a signing at the press conference before?

[cooper_J]

Good buy, right price.

Well done Jeremy.

[whitemouse75]

how does vis know when press conferences are?

[Jamboon]

he knows all

[meow mix]

Vis is jez.

[paddingtonwolf]

Vis is jez.

:D :D :D

now i've heard it all!

[Rocky_Balllboa]

he hasn't signed yet, calm down

[Phys Ed Wolf]

Good news IF true, but as they say, 'A day is a long time in football'. Trying to stay calm until it's confirmed.

[Oxford_Wolf]

Vis is jez.

Viz Moxley :) not that far off.

I doubt they will announce anything on a Saturday, Phys.

A weekend is excruciatingly long time in football.

The penalty at 30s ! Hit it that hard you can hardly see the ball move :O

I've never seen them in the same room together. FACT!

Not seen a video of Eastwoods goals before. The lad can certainly score from anywhere...great feet and pace as well.

[Flitwick Wolf]

"IT'S BASSETT"

Ring any bells? This is the E&S we are talking about here. No quotes, just the normal "understanding".

I hope it is true as that is a good proce, but I'll keep my $$$$ in my pants for the minute.

[UEAwolf]

Hope its alongside, not instead of Sharp

[Mr Wolf]

Sharp can **** off, I'm sick of hearing about him. Especially from all of you who have never ever seen him play.

We have all seen Eastwood play and know he looks good, has scored goals at this level and looks like he will cost half the price at least.

If this story is true of course ;)

If Viz IS Jez then you have

[Wivey Wolf]

:eek:

[Mr Wolf]

Have you seen him play?

No, thats why I'm not shouting his name round everywhere, writing letters to Jez (vis) to sign him and instead of praising to club for maybe pulling off a good sigining asking " are we still gonna sign Sharpe? "

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I've never seen them in the same room together. FACT!

But they have both been seen entering / leaving telephone boxes.

[Rocky_Balllboa]

he looks good thats for sure!

[Wivey Wolf]

No, thats why I'm not shouting his name round everywhere, writing letters to Jez (vis) to sign him and instead of praising to club for maybe pulling off a good sigining asking " are we still gonna sign Sharpe? "

Fair enough, but if you haven't seen him, why are you writing him off?

[Mr Wolf]

Fair enough, but if you haven't seen him, why are you writing him off?

I've never wrote him off. Just bored of everyone going on about him. Going to end this now before it turns into another B Sharp debate.

[Wivey Wolf]

I've never wrote him off. Just bored of everyone going on about him.

Really?

Sharp can **** off

Hmmmm:rolleyes:

[Mr Wolf]

That was aimed at the constant postings about him rather than is actual potential as a footballer.

[Wivey Wolf]

Not particularly well phrased, then, if I may say so.

[fullmoon]

:oerr!!!!

[Wombourne Wolf]

Vis is quiet today as he's talking to Eastwood's agent. FACT

[EasternWolf]

cue a dozen:where's he goona park his vega then? threads

[EasternWolf]

or gonna even

[Sozzled Wolf]

But they have both been seen entering / leaving telephone boxes.

Could he/they fit in one??




Sorry Mr Moxey Sir ;)

If that's what he'd bring then i'm more than happy, his 2 goals at Derby were superb (i think it was derby anyway).

According to the E&S though, the bid's been accepted and it's Eastwood's choice between us and Norwich.

Let's hope he's not a fan of cookery books

no $$$$ sherlock

[Edmund Dantes]

On the highlight there one of those goals is a wicked free kick. It would be nice to have a player that makes the most of those again.

[Taffywolf]

I'm not getting too excited until he signs, I sure will then. Earlier in the season they were talking about 3 mill for him....

[The Bear]

[ant_wolf]

I hope its true he`s a great striker and he can take penalties woo hoo!

[Emperor Wolf]

It is a solid signing-and I am all for it.
The deal as reported is 1,25 mill+250K.Don´t know if there are more add ons to that..still a good deal of business IMO.
Eastwood seems to be on par with Sharp as a goalscorer,and Eastwood seems a more complete footballer overall than Sharp.
The price then makes THIS our best striker signing for the preseason to crucial 07/08.
Welcome to Wolves Freddy,you have signed to the best club in the world!
Good times ahead I hope..long overdue.
WOLVES IN THE PREMIERSHIP 08/09!!

[SaleWolf]

If accurate, a great piece of business. Hats off to Moxey again.

[SOUTHBANK_BULLY]

wont be happy till i see eastwood holding the wolves shirt on the official site

[Kenny-11]

What if he signs but refuses to do that?

[Uncle Festa]

Try the following link for more of Eastwood. Features right at the end and it also contains clips of Sharpe and Keogh.

[UNCLE REMUS]

For the Squad,which is still pretty thin.

Two Full Backs
Central Defender
Central Midfield
Another Stiker

Mick has to be careful, that he doesn't destroy the team camaraderie he has built up, however.

All the good Wolves side had tremendous team spirit.

[wanderer24]

Two Full Backs
Central Defender x2
Central Midfield - Potter, Gleeson, M Davies, Olifinjana, i think were well covered
Another Stiker

Mick has to be careful, that he doesn't destroy the team camaraderie he has built up, however. - Agreed, but im sure he'll sign the right sort of personalities.

All the good Wolves side had tremendous team spirit.

Competition for places won't ruin team spirit, just ego's.

Best release Bothroyd now then... ;)

Exactly what I was thinking and then found this link, could be total rubbish but I suppose we'll see:

Freddie Eastwood has signed a 4 year deal in a £2.75m transfer with Matt Birley (permanent) and Sone Aluko (12 month loan deal) going to Roots Hall.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just what Blues need, another striker.

[Bumbamuffin]

Bearing in mind our opening bid was 750k and the new bid is likely to be 1.25m-1.5m,why would Blues just come in and offer almost double that amount?

What a load of $$$$$$$$.

[kidder_wolf_II]

He also claims that the new owners will be announced on monday along with eastwood which seems very unlikely as Gold has said he doesnt expect the club to change hands and he will still be in charge come the start of the season.

Sounds like $$$$$$$$ to me

[RyanWolf]

If it's true, then Moxey deserves credit once more. £1.2m is a good price considering Eastwood has a sell on clause.

[hollo]

Check this out guys.

[Black Suit]

If accurate, a great piece of business. Hats off to Moxey again.

eeeerrrrrr why? Because we have offered more than the other interested parties? Every one of us on this board could have achieved this.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Half the price of Sharp, 23 years old, coveted by other clubs and generally regarded as one of the better forwards outside of the Premier League.

If Moxey had stuck to the bid of £750k, would you have applauded the move?

No. But offering more than the other interested clubs does not prove that he is excellent at negotiation skills.

Have any Premier clubs made an offer?

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not as far as I'm aware. Do they have to in order for Jez to be a good negotiator? Compared to the overpriced Sharp and Varney, it'd be a good deal. 31 year old Jamie Cureton would cost £750k! Only a week ago Southend's chairman was saying that Eastwood wasn't for sale, now according to this report he's ours for £1.25m. Has to be a good deal.

Incidentally, I'm reserving judgement about the whole "deal accepted" thing, all we have so far to back it up is the Guess and Star's backpage (featuring a mention of Billy SharpE, FFS) and some borderline illiterate on a Southend forum.

[Black Suit]

Biggest competitive clubs to my knowledge are Charlton and the stripey $$$$ers with the 0121 phone number.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Charlton have just bought someone with a far lesser record than Eastwood for £2m. What a chump their CEO must be.

Christ yes! He must have a 'blinder' on trial.

"It would be a good move for him and a good move for Wolves as well," Kightly told the Express & Star.

I think that says it all.

[Emperor Wolf]

I am aware that the British papers doesn´t have the best of reputations-but could the E&S really print as story like this without it being true?
Pretty ugly if they can IMO.

[Wivey Wolf]

"It would be a good move for him and a good move for Wolves as well," Kightly told the Express & Star.

Why, what does it say?

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Todays BBC gossip column reports that Eastwood will sign next week for 1.5M

Yes, I was being brief;)

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Why, what does it say?

That someone with the right attitude and has played with Eastwood rates him. It isn't really that difficult to de-code.

Bloody perverts are everywhere these days.

[Emperor Wolf]

No more doubt,they even made a video regarding the Eastwood sign at E&S.
It is a done deal.
Freddy Eastwood is a Wolves player from now on.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well if the Guess and Star say so, it must be nailed on.

I hope Harry Bassett can get him playing well for us, a shame Jackie McNamara didn't join us a couple of years ago though, I think they'd have linked up well.

[kidder_wolf_II]

Been told by my mate that the eastwood deal will go through on monday despite a late bid from watford.

[Bilston_Wolf]

Kidder, can you say how your mate knows or not?

[kidder_wolf_II]

Kidder, can you say how your mate knows or not?

All he has told me is that hes got a bit of insider info but i take everything with a pinch of salt so i guess we shall see.

Just thought i would share it with you guys, so dont shoot me if it turns out to be wrong

You have pretty much covered it in that post to be fair.
