mcleod about to sign

[goldenboy]

not sure if this has been mentioned but according to the guardian this morning we have had a 1.3m offer accepted because of an increase in the offer of immediete payment to the MK Dons and mcleod should sign in the next 48 hours so long as fulham or blues dont match our offer. sounds like good news to me (if true) as we now desperately need a new striker now that george is crocked again

[osnawolf]

not great news. too much money

[Essex Wolf]

Interesting, wonder if his arrival, should it happen, see Miller moving to Scotland?

[Deutsch Wolf]

I was having a good day until then. smileys/smiley7.gif


Can't say I'm exactly jumping for joy on this one. Granted it's been a few years since I saw him play for Derby, but he was rank bad. May the boy prove me wrong.

[Sheriff Woody]

Seems a lot of wedge for a player in the lower leagues, but hey if he does come he might be the player we desperately need. Not sure if Blues and Fulham's interest wasn't made public to get us to improve our offer, if so it worked!

[Kenny-11]

£1.3m is a lot.


Ihope that figure is around £700k up front and the rest based on appearances, promotion etc etc

[Sheriff Woody]

I'd try and get Jeffers in as well. He may be a complete cheat and generally a bit of a silly billy but on his day he'll get a few goals, snap him up as well before Norwich or someone equally as $$$$$ get him and he saves their season.

Must be making room for Boyd and Co.

[Friar Wolf]

not great news. too much money








Although the transfer fee may seem on the high side - he should at least not be on Premiership wages if he signs for us. This is something that needs to be taken into account....

[osnawolf]

no-one should be on premiership wages because none of them are premiership class.

[Kenny-11]

Although the transfer fee may seem on the high side


It won't be £1.3m straight away. Hopefully a lot of the fee will depend on things such as more than 50 appearances &promotion.

Absolutely Friar.......


We moan when we never sign anyone for a transfer fee and now we moan because we are spending to much on a player.....I'm sure some of our fans were in negotiations with Moxey in the summer when we drew a blank.....

[Del Woppio]

i've necer seen him play, apart from for 7 seconds every Sunday morning on the Championship. £1.3 is a lot, but as has been said, i'd imagine a lot is on promotion and goals. At the end of the day, we have money and need a striker. so we spent some and got one. sounds fair to me.

[osnawolf]

just seems to me that there are other options available for less cash

[Friar Wolf]

just seems to me that there are other options available for less cash


Such as?

[Wombourne Wolf]

Apparently we offered MK Dons £400,000 upfront at first so maybe we have increased it to around £500K-600K?

[yammer]

Would have agreed with you till i saw him at Rangers. Couldn't hit a barn door and seems to have completely lost the promise he had before moving to Arsenal.

[Slip On Shoes]

Pleased we are finally looking at up and coming players from the lower leagues but I remember him at Derby and he was abysmal so the jury is very much out.

[BlahBlah]

Must be making room for Boyd and Co.





You mean Boyd and Miller ?


Good business for Rangers though. Sell a raw youngster for £3mill. Buy him back for £500,000 when he's good enough.

[Brizzlewolf]

How much did they pay for him when they signed him from Hibs?

[osnawolf]

just seems to me that there are other options available for less cash


Such as?











boyd was just signed for 400k, kabba has been reported as maybe available for 500k, even fryatt seems to be dicussed for smaller amounts. if mcleod was looking like a worldbeater then fine, but just because he comes from a league below us doesnt make him an up and coming player worth 1.3 million





if we need to spend big, i'd go and see uncle dave down at ninian park

[hampshire wolf]

IMO we don't need another Boyd type player but your shouts of Kabba and Fryatt are reasonable.... Hopefully however Mcleod turns out to be much better.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Colin wouldn't let Kabba go to us, while there's still a very,very slim chance we could catch them. Fryatt is as unproven as McLeod and hasn't attracted any attention from any Championship/Premiership clubs (as far as I'm aware).

[Hatch End Wolf]

If we've got £10M to spend this transfer window it probably won't matter if we've overpaid.....on the other hand, if we've only got £2M ish ,then it's taking hell of a gamble on a player from a struggling lower league team.


Oh well fingers crossed. When he's scrored a hat-trick in his first game and finished with 25 goals for the season, we'll all say we knew he was going to be a star before he was even signed!

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

What is it though that both manages seem happy to let Kabba and Fryatt go whereas Wilson wants McLeod to stay?

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kabba's out of contract in June and won't sign a new deal, Walsall need the cash.

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Kabba's out of contract in June and won't sign a new deal, Walsall need the cash.
Thanks for telling me, now how about telling Hoddle and Moxey.smileys/smiley4.gif

[Wombourne Wolf]

Fryatt to me looks likeweight and most of his goals are from the penalty spot. I'd much rather go for raw pace and ability in McLeod but not pay £1m+.


McLeod scored one of the goals of the season in Div1, running from the halfway line past 3 players before slotting it away, so theirs no doubt he can do it.

[Kenny-11]

Just looking at his goals from last season.......if I knew how to do what Marrs does I would post them on here....but I am fick

[goldeneyed]

If it is £1.3m and he really is coming it does seem too much even if payments are staggered. Lita got 11 more goals in the same league last year and cost £1m. Comments from MK Dons fans earlier this season that they needed to sign a striker because McCleod kept missing the target don't exactly fill you with confidence.


Anyhow new (fast)toy for Christmas and at least he isn't 30 plus for a change. Trouble is that's pretty much most of the transfer budget used up. So no spectacular Koumas signing, that's for sure. A couple of loans now if we are lucky and of course Huddlestone and perhaps Miller will be off.

Fan makes a "I have it on good authority" claim without naming who told him and gullable webmongs fall over themselves to join in.

[EasternWolf]

I love the club but many of the fans really p!$* me off with their negative attitudes and inconsistent responses to player performance- i.e. you know you are always going to get "lescott was immense" for a slightly above average central defender who heads everything up in the air and whose passing is often suspect ..and "naylor is carp" for a player who cannot be an attacker and a defender at the same time and is criticised because nobody takes up his defensive duties when he is attacking.


WE WON LAST NIGHT.... hooray. WE BEAT SHEFFIELD UTD RECENTLY .... hoorrrrrrayyyy.


Sorry.


I hope that if the lad signs he is given the chance to play before you lot get on his back.

I don't think anyone's getting on his back, mainly because no-one's seen enough of him (recently) to say whether he is or isn't good enough. However, I'm a bit perturbed at spending £1.3m on a player who seems to split opinions amongst MK Dons fans and who was truly dreadful as an admittedly raw youngster at Derby.

Its only money DW .... but i do take your point about the alleged amount. I am only suggesting we reserve judgement on the guy.. I can imagine that was what Wigan supporters were saying at one stage about Henri and look what a steal they got for their money.

[dazmanwolf]

I am glad he may be signing for us.


I used to get to see MK Dons quite often when I lived nearby.


McLeod was always the one who stood out with his pace and ability.


If he can handle the Championship, he will set our season back on track.


He is fast, and skilled and was likened to Defoe by many Non MK Dons fans at the time.


I think he is not a Defoe, but he sure is fast!

[Kris Kringle]

Have we finally replaced Camara? Only 6 months too late?

Hoddle has always said his formation needed that bit of extra pace that Camara or Ndah could bring. Camara's gone onto better things and it looks like Ndah is out for ever. Hopefuly we'll sign him and he fits in perfectly.

[Bridgnorth Wolf]

smileys/smiley32.gifKris! We've been in dire need of someone with real pace since Camara - look at wigan, pace all over the pitch!Most of Reading's players had the beating of our lot for pace (aswell as everything else)

[Essex Wolf]

As and when it becomes a done deal I look forward to having a forward in the squad with pace but the price still seems high to me.

[Axle]

He might well be a good player for us, but until we actually sign him he remains a possibility rather than a one way ticket to the Prem.

[Essex Wolf]

Agreed Axle but Wolves need to sign someone this January and I would prefer it were someone who offers us something we haven't got, IE pace.

[wolf of sedgley]

i.e. you know you are always going to get
"lescott was immense" for a slightly above average central defender who
heads everything up in the air and whose passing is often suspect .



I'm not having this. Lescott is the best player outside the prem, and i
don't care what anybody says, he is more than "slightly above average".



On the subject of Mcleod- i'm just happy we've signed someone who isn't 31.

[The Bear]

Good that he's young and good that he has pace, but it sounds like his
finishing still isn't the 'finished' article and will need some decent
coaching.



I just hope £1.3m isn't too much for him, and that transfer fee and
reported interest from Prem clubs doesn't heap too much expectation on
his shoulders if he does come here, as the fans will EXPECT him to
score goals with the fee and interest he's had.

[Ashley]

i'll be suprised if he we do sign him. can't really elaporate on it i'll just be suprised!

I honestly can't Kenny. it's a type of signing that doesn't really happen at our club isn't it? i've been waiting for an announcement regarding someone like Fowler or Campbell to be honest!

[Manitoba Wolf]

Sounds like a no win situation for Hoddle and Moxey here. They don't spend any money and we're all mad with them. Then they bring a veteran like Anderton in on a free (likely high wages though) and we're all mad with them. Then they bring in a youngster with potential for a big fee, and guess what, we're already second guessing them.

It seems to be heading in the right direction. If the press are adding up all of the add ons of McKLeods fee, as they do sometimes then we are probably opaying a realistic fee for him.

Serious question, has anyone seen Fryatt play this season?


Gera's a great shout, but of course WBA won't let him go.


So basically, you're agreeing with Hoddle/Moxey's transfer strategy this year?

[Kris Kringle]

I've seen Fryatt twice live and once on sky and tbh, he isn't the quickest or the strongest but he can finish and he can take a penalty. He'll probably end up at PNE or Derby because I doubt he's the kind of player we will be looking to buy.

Mcleod and Fryatt are no better than what we've already got and are not good enough for what we want, that's why they'll end up at PNE or Derby. It's a thankless task for Wolves and £1.3M for Mcleod is a criminal waste of money IMO when they cant even play what they already have in their correct position.

[IMAB]

Serious question, has anyone seen Fryatt play this season? On the tele, looks like he can finish well and isn't afraid to run at people, like Davies.


Gera's a great shout, but of course WBA won't let him go. I thought you meant general examples. The east european countries are the places to look now.


So basically, you're agreeing with Hoddle/Moxey's transfer strategy this year? Its heading in the right direction. Not sure that we couldn't have invested the Anderton/ McNamara wages more effectively. It depends how big they are.

Unless of course you're on a wind up . . . . . .smileys/smiley4.gif





Yeah,I know. And Wolves much-vaunted &amp; infallible medical staff have obviously given a 2nd opinion on a number of old crocks over the years.


Don't quite see how the Bergkampf problem stops him playing football. They just have to con him like B A Baracus &amp; get him to their destination. It's when he won't set foot on a fooball pitch that they've got to worry.


Kanu had a life-threatening heart op &amp; has obviously recovered from it or he wouldn't be playing. However, a dislocated shoulder, although not life-threatening, tends to re-occur again &amp; again, &amp; while this may not worry someone whose livelihood does not depend on physical activity, a professional sports-person very often doesn't recover from it sufficiently to play at the highst level(eg Ian Hunter, Northampton Saints RFC player).

Having suffered from a dislocated shoulder and other serious arm injuries consistent with having a p!$*er on a Hang Glider, I can say in my case it hasn't stopped me nor do I regard it as a debilitating injury. Specialist pronouncedmy shoulder 'as good as new' after 5 months, I don't think we should write off McCloud for having suffered a fairly common, minor sports injury.


Lets face it, football is becoming a non contact sport anyway, we should be more worried about his ability to hit the back of the net.

[BSM4]

Kanu had a potentially life threatening condition. Dennis Bergkamp won't get on aeroplanes.


Unless of course you're on a wind up . . . . . .smileys/smiley4.gif





Yeah,I know. And Wolves much-vaunted &amp; infallible medical staff have obviously given a 2nd opinion on a number of old crocks over the years.


Don't quite see how the Bergkampf problem stops him playing football. They just have to con him like B A Baracus &amp; get him to their destination. It's when he won't set foot on a fooball pitch that they've got to worry.


Kanu had a life-threatening heart op &amp; has obviously recovered from it or he wouldn't be playing. However, a dislocated shoulder, although not life-threatening, tends to re-occur again &amp; again, &amp; while this may not worry someone whose livelihood does not depend on physical activity, a professional sports-person very often doesn't recover from it sufficiently to play at the highst level(eg Ian Hunter, Northampton Saints RFC player).


Nathan Ellington dislocated his shoulder and it has not done him any harm!!

[ginboomerang]

Welcome back BSM4, maybe this time you'll stick around even after your shower have dropped back into the relegation places.

[Kenny-11]

Kenny Miller hasn't played since he dislocated his shoulder..........nasty injuries

[Deutsch Wolf]

It was his collarbone, nincompoop.

I wanted to know what it was like to get one wrong.......A Deutsch moment.....

I'm never wrong, ever, you know that.

The world needed to know how I felt about the £1.5m man.

[JEVS WWFC 1877]

Just read that Fulham are to come in with a 1.5 million bid but seem to think brum will crush that bid

[dazmanwolf]

Brum admitted to be tracking McLeod, but that is as far as it has gone according to Steve Bruce on Sky Text.

Why would McLeod join a poor club going down the tubes?smileys/smiley36.gif

[paddingtonwolf]

weird isn't it?


Fulham have their bid in at 1.5 mill (allegedly) and think that Blouse could crush it and they can't compete. Blouse are only tracking the player because they are $$$$$$$ed wage bill wise unless they can somehow survive. We appear to have plenty of cash washing around when compared to other outfits and we could certainly up the ante on this Fulham bid if we wanted to.


Personally I don't think there is a Fulham bid. It is an agent reared herringue rouge, trying to push the price that we can agree with the Dons up.

smileys/smiley36.gifBut I'm sure you knew very well what I meant.smileys/smiley2.gif

[EasternWolf]

i.e. you know you are always going to get "lescott was immense" for a slightly above average central defender who heads everything up in the air and whose passing is often suspect .




I'm not having this. Lescott is the best player outside the prem, and i don't care what anybody says, he is more than "slightly above average".

On the subject of Mcleod- i'm just happy we've signed someone who isn't 31.



HEHEHE ...You wish Sedgley!!! Surely the best player is Lee Naylor???

[kennyB]

Lee Naylor the best player? Where? Wolverhampton pub league!? smileys/smiley36.gif

[Hatch End Wolf]

If Steve Bruce has puta bid in, then Wolves should back away quietly and look somewhere else.Looking atBruce's buying record McLeod is absolutely certain to be carp.

[Taffywolf]

Bruce is also after Nugent of Preston, Can't see him signing both and can't really see Macloed going there to sit on the bench.

[Hatch End Wolf]

Blues after Nugent? Well in that case that's another player Wolves should avoid!

[London Wolves]

News from MK Dons.


McLeod is off suffering from the "flu" which apparently means he is about to sign for someone. Wolves are the most keen and have shown the most interest.

I wished Mark Kennedy would have had the flu over Xmas...

[ginboomerang]

He's had 'flu' for a while now.

[Wednesbury Wolf]

According to N.O.W. this morning Wolves have now met MK's price of £1.5m.

[wolfie smith]

hes worth whatever someone is willing to pay for him(mcleod) if there is an auction with blues and fulham we shouldnt get involved, why not just get iverson in and someone cheap who we know can score at this level with pace, steve jones from crewe would be a very cheap option but wont have the quality of others, there must be others

[goldeneyed]

Great, so that presumably means that, taking account of his wages also, we have nothing left to spend on strenghtening the team. Matt Jansen for nothing sounds a lot better to me. Spend the £1.5m on Koumas.

[SirJohnRichards]

That great bastion of journalistic honesty that is The News of the World reports the offer to be £1.5m smileys/smiley5.gif

[Essex Wolf]

Assume nothing until you know it's fact.


However I can just see what's coming. Wolves sign McLeod, take on Ross on a longer term then tell us along with Rosa and Gyepes these are 4 new signings.

Don't forget Postma! That's 5 new players in the world of Moxey.

Yup you are most likely right mate.


Fact is Wolves will most likely end up making 1 more signing, maybe 2 if we are lucky but still say with those already at the club it's 5 or 6 new faces.

[Papa]

God help him.

[SOA Wolf]

Essex, Moxey put in his programme notes yesterday that even before the transfer window had opened there were two new signings waiting to be finalised...yep...you guessed it Rosa and Gyepes..........altogether with Moxey's theme tune, 'you spin me round like a record, round round'........

[Goldwolf]

Rosa is a new signing. Where's the spin there exactly?

[The Bear]

Could quite easily have been Rosa and one of McLeod, Postma, Ross or Gyepes.

[Kenny-11]

Rosa is a new signing and Gabor is being signed from a loan deal....so a new permanent signing.

[SOA Wolf]

Rosa is a new signing. Where's the spin there exactly?


The spin is that you can hardly call Gyepes a new signing...or has it been an illusion playing for us....it is all a question of how easy people want to be manipulated....I prefer straight talking and accurate assessments....We have ONE NEW signing and a player now being brought in on a permanent basis.


If Gyepes was a NEW signing what was he when we signed him on loan...Moxey claimed he was a new signing then....so that means one player is a new signing twice....hence......... spin.

i agree with that........i think!!smileys/smiley1.gif

[Hatch End Wolf]

Moxey makes Bliar and the "New Labour" lot look like amateurs when it comes to spinning news!


It's his own fault ifmany of us on this site think he's a lying barsteward. He doesn't ever say we've only got a certain amount of money for new players and that sum includes loans /free transfers. He encouragesfans to believe that there is a large sum of money to buy "new" players andthatWolves intend to buy better quality. The outbreak of rumoured star purchases always seems to occur around season ticket time.

[Gio Pippinardi]

If we sign McLeod and Ross plus Rosa then this will mean 3 new signings to me. Gyepes and Postma were at Wolves from September. (...We had Ross on loan too but it looks like a brand new signing for me.He played for the first time for us...just yesterday.) But i think that we need another striker (...plusMcLeod). I don't know what will happen with Miller, Ganea has just six months contract (...and he is 32.), Ndah is always near a hospital than our training centre and Leon...is another story.

[28th March 1965]

I'm sorry but for £1.5 million I wouldn't touch Mcleod with a bargepole , there's other talent out there that are half the price take Nicolas Anelka , Wenger snapped him up for £500,000.......

Can you give me his phone number? I want to buy a ...used car!

[SOA Wolf]

McLeod should be £500K tops...why don't we go for Matty Fryatt...he would be about the same price and then we can get a couple more signings....

[Davebull]

1.5m is too much but this is not dead money. He is only 20 and the odds are definately in favour of this investment appreciating in money.


Pace is what we need and pace alone is good enough to trouble defences in any league.

[Papa]

But it's takes them half an hour to get the ball forward. Kenneth seemed to get so frustrated yesterday he took them on alone. It is rare thing not to see one of our strikers not surrounded by three or four players.

I admit I did slightly misread your post too, in that I thought you were implying that both Rosa and Gyepes signings were spin. http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif


I didn't mention Gyepes at all in my post. I agree he's not a new signing, even if Moxey claims he is. I was just pointing out that Rosa is a new signing, that's all, which some people appear to be forgetting in the rush to criticise the club 9 hours into the transfer window.
