On the verge of signing on a free / nominal fee from Le Harve.

19 year old, 6ft 4 forward according to Spiers.

 

[Deleted member 4309]

Straight in to the reserves then.

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Ahhh one for the future.

Nice one Thelwell.

 

[goldfish]

I don't know how many times this can be said, but:

1. This is exactly the sort of signing we need to be making.

2. This is not the only sort of signing we need to be making.

Those two statements do not contradict each other. We should not moan when we make this signing because it's not what stops us making first team signings.

 

[Jonzy54]

Haven't we got enough untried or barely used youngsters who play up top
Bright ,Reid,Ennis,Wilson,Collins ,Allan (and no doubt others)?

 

[Matt]

Done a bit of Googling and can't find too much about him.

A total of 22 minutes from 3 substitute appearances for Le Harve in Ligue 2 this season. Played most of his football for their B team and someone on Twitter reckons he's scored 12 in 22 for them but I can't find any stats on that.

He's 20 next month so definitely feasible that he'll feature for the first team.

 

[goldfish]

He's played 22 minutes (all off the bench) for Le Havre in Ligue 2. Le Havre are managed by Bob Bradley, who you'd imagine can spot a decent player.

Last two players we signed from Le Havre (I think): Ludo Pollet and Mo Camara.

I guess hes free just have to pay his wages oh I wish the club was sold going to be a long summer unless the club is sold

No, because the chances are a lot of these won't make it. Youngsters are so cheap relative to first team squad players that if 5 fail and 1 comes off we'll make a profit/benefit. Of course you can only have so many without risking on missing out, but I don't think we're at that level.

 

[goldfish]

Even if we had a generous billionaire in charge we should still make this kind of signing.

 

[Matt]

Leicester signed Riyad Mahrez for £375k from Le Harve. You never know.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Nothing to lose i suppose

I agree we should make these kind of signings. If we sign enough of the right kind of signings to go with them... Which we won't.

Je n'ai signer nul part pour le moment. / I not signed anywhere for the moment.

Not done yet, but at least he appears to be tweeting bilingually!

We've made some great signings around this age group so let's be optimistic for a day or two.

Agreed. As long as we make both types of signings, we're good.

Suggested a few weeks back their other young striker, Lys Mousset, a French u20 international who managed 14 goals for them last season.

Seen Bristol City have been linked with him today, shame.

 

[Matt]

From the E&S:

"Former Wolves man Ludo Pollet - who also played for Le Harve - has been scouting for the club in France for the past year and the recommendation is likely to have come from the popular ex-defender."

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Ahhh one for the future.

Nice one Thelwell.

Apparently Ludo is scouting for us in France. This is probably down to him.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

No issue with this at all. Will strengthen the U21's and will be cheap so its a no brainer. Be nice to back it up now with some genuine first team players but the summer is very new so no moans from me.

Strange as he would surely be a more mature option as he is actually a first teamer. But I guess he might cost MONEY and that is something the club apparently have decided they don't have much of anymore. As to the other guy why not? Eventually Thelwell may fluke a decent signing and if Pollet is responsible then perhaps might be a reasonable prospect. It would be typical Wolves, however, to get the wrong striker of the two.

Having Ludo scouting for us in France sounds good, top bloke.

 

[Hrothgar]

"At 6ft 4ins he fits the powerful mode Jackett is looking for" according to the Guess and Stir!!
Certainly got the height but looks like he'd have to run round in the shower to get wet!
Perhaps six weeks on the Moxey- plan diet will bulk the poor lad up a bit?!

Power is all we hear about now from Jackett. Technical ability? Can he actually trap a ball and turn a defender? Has he got any pace. Or is he just a gawky youth who because he is 6ft 4 and cheap fits into the current gameplan of Jackett and Thelwell? Remember that ridiculous signing The Hoff!

 

[The Pundit]

This is a bigger statement than just 'one for the development squad'.

Turns 20 by the start of the season so in the age bracket of Iorfa, Hause and Graham. Yet has to be better than Bright and Ennis so as not to stifle them.

 

[Skrilla]

One for the $$$$ing future. How about the first team??? Nominal fees is about all we can afford.

Would rather have us sign Famara Diedhiou but we can only afford French second division reserve team players now. God help us.

Yeah, $$$$ the future, I am a baby and I want something NOW!

 

[Essex Wolf]

Should he sign wish him well and hope he can make the grade and be the sort of player Wolves need.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this sort of signing, should it happen, but still maintain that proven quality/experience is needed. Keep saying it but the club needs to find a balance.

 

[Jonzy54]

Yeah, $$$$ the future, I am a baby and I want something NOW!

The here and now would be nice aswell as the future

 

[Deleted member 4124]

I can't think of a single transfer window where Wolves haven't signed both young and first team players.

 

[Jonzy54]

I can't think of a single transfer window where Wolves haven't signed both young and first team players.

As I said previously we already have Bright Ennis Wilson Collins Allan and Reid in that age bracket.All virtually untried under a Manager who wouldn't give any of them game time (I don't mean a few minutes here and there) when he said he would.
My fear is we will have a log jam with several pushed out on loan and never to be seen in a Wolves shirt.

 

[Skrilla]

Count the number of young forwards we already have in the U21's. This in my opinion is not a player who is regarded as a youth player, it typifies what we can now afford with the club up for sale.

 

[Essex Wolf]

Okresh, not taking any sides here mate but if the here and now is not looked after and taken care of the future is no guarantee and that applies to many things in life not just football.

But I do agree that Wolves have signed young and first team players but sadly and all to often those signings have not been up to what was needed.

 

[Matt]

From that interview I posted:

Have you ambition to join the Ligue 2 Le Havre with or do you have other contacts?

"I was offered a pro contract in Le Havre but I will first finish my season. My priority is to sign Le Havre. But I have foreign clubs that have approached me and if the Havre does not offer me playing time guarantees, I would not hesitate to commit myself to the other side of the Channel."

So sounds like he wants first team football to me.

+1!

Sounds like he might be a different style of player that Bright, Ennis, Wilson, Collins, Allan and Reid Jonzy?

He will get first team football at Telford, on loan from us!

Totally agree.

Were sounding more like a bus for kids wanting to be a footballer at the moment.
