Nathan Collins

[Paddy Wolf]

Would be a great signing and perfect for us. Big, strong, quick and good with the ball at his feet. I'm pretty sure he was captaining Stoke in his late teens too.

Unsurprisingly McCarthy was trying to take him to Ipswich before getting the sack and the deal collapsed and Collins chose Stoke instead.
How different life could have been for Ipswich, you could probably buy their entire club for the £20 million he's now being priced at.

Good fee for a British central defender, the right age and profile.

Hopefully this one goes through.

 

[Greeno]

Young? Irish?

I wish Jez would just bugger off!

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Anyone else buzzing at the fact he is 6ft4 and can jump like a salmon?
Just think it helps greatly in not only DEFENDING set pieces, but SCORING them too!

 

[Supadavewolf]

Is this the bit where we cross our fingers and hold our breath having already gushed about how happy we are?

My Pampers are at hand, ready to stem the gushing if he does sign ...

 

[cannockwolves]

The Burnley lot do think he has a release clause in his contract in case of relegation. Claim was him and Cornet wouldn't have signed with out it - given they are always favourites for the drop.

I hope this gets done. He has only played 19 games in the prem so we need to not get carried away - he is not prime Dean Richards or anything - but I will be delighted once its done.

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Anyone checked on JOS?

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

I think that it's the fact that Percy's reported the interest that's got people's hopes up as so many consider him as good as it gets in terms of accuracy.

I’m pretty sure he’s got a soft spot for us too. Wouldn’t be reporting it if it wasn’t there or there abouts.

Perfectly good mate and very pleased we may be signing Collins.

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

To be honest, watching his highlights reel, he tends to celebrate goals with a flying knee-slide so fingers crossed, eh?

One of the first things I would ban as a manager. I cringe every time a player does it knowing how knackered my knees are after playing years of footy and cricket. At least a week's wages... and mark my words, one day a player will seriously injure himself doing it.

And for adama crosses

He’s 6 ft 4. Not 64 foot.

We have sombody who can head a ball hopefully we get sombody who can cross it next

Ideally not the same person lol....

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

So does anyone think he will be better than our last centre half called Collins?? Super Neil

That is a bloody low threshold... .

Even that's being kind!

Would bloody hope so!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Lighten up folks

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Nixon doesn't seem to think it's anywhere near as far along as Percy.

I know he's not as reliable on the whole but has been good with Burnley this summer and first to really report our interest in Collins.

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

It’s the old story …. Will believe when he’s photographed holding up the Old Gold

 

[Krispy Kreme]

Rich man’s Ryan Bennett top signing if you ask me only 21 too

We have missed Bennett ever since we lost him.

Solid defender and better on the ball than we gave him credit for.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Is he in a kit yet ?

 

[Nivada]

Masterminded that sidefield pass to Coady

 

[WalsallWolf]

He's irish.
He is pretty quick.
Can play in a back 4 for sure and has experience doing so but has played very well right of a CB 3 too. Great at ball carrying , excellent in the air and has recovery pace.

Sounds like a right sided Max Kilman!
Fingers crossed boys.

 

[Pengwern]

We have sombody who can head a ball hopefully we get sombody who can cross it next

Connor Ronan takes deadly dead balls!

 

[Monketron]

Back 4 of Jonny (Ait Nouri), Kilman, Collins and Semedo is really good for my money.

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

The fans on their forum seem to think 20 million is too low, so that is a good sign

We’d have said same re Danny Batth not so many years ago..!!!

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Apart from Boly, when have we spent decent money on a actual centre half?

Sassis was a MF
Coady was a MF
Bennett - Free
Miranda - 1 Million ish
Jesus - Loan
Kilman - Few hundred thousand
Batth - Academy
Steaman - Returned on lean
Dom Iorfa - Academy
Hause - Few hundred thousand

Was going to say Roger Johnson

Been an area that needs investment, as does other areas,

You’re right. Before Boly it was RJ himself.

Hold the flabbering bum cheeks more like

 

[Wolves Heathen]

Just a word of caution, rarely do any outside sources get word of who we are signing until its officially announced..

 

[wolvesaywe]

Don't think that is true at all. We generally start getting a sniff when it's very close to completion and very often from Percy first

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

They paid nearly £35M plus addons

And wages might be rather different… matters over 3/4 years!

 

[mcwolf]

Anyone checked on JOS?

having a lie down i'm told

 

[Glow69]

Percy aint putting his name to it if it ain't close.

 

[Bob Wolf]

Signing a CB from a relegated team - what can go wrong???

 

[sc91]

A journalist called Jason O’Connor has said that Collins has a release clause of 20 million. Apparently he is always spot on when it comes to info about Irish players.

Nixon is chatting absolute pony as always.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

If we sign this kid we are definitely going 4 at the back.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

And that your honour is the case for the prosecution.
