Transfer window pickings from our promotion rivals

[those were the days]

Surprised there hasn't been more speculation in the press over some of our L1 rivals' better players ahead of the transfer deadline. There's been enough written about Sako and Doyle that's for sure.

Taking the teams currently around us, who would you want to see Wolves bid for if it's tranfer deadline day morning and we've got silly money (5m) on the table for Doyle and Sako and both players want to move on. Players like Tommy Rowe, Nakhi Wells, Clayton Donaldson, Sam Baldock and Moses Osubajo would do for me and would seriously weaken our competition too. Most of these players seem to be flying under the radar right now despite being linked with moves away from their clubs over the summer. Who else would you take from Posh, Brentford, MK Dons, Preston, Briatol City, Orient et al.?

 

[North West Wanderer]

Posh are awash with cash so no one there

Baldock from Bristol City for sure

 

[andyc225]

Tommy Rowe and Lee Tomlin both have transfer requests in. Taking one away would dent Peterborough's promotion campaign. Darragh MacAnthony will consider a sensible offer.

Should we have made the move

 

[goldeneyed]

Emmanuel-Thomas of Bristol C.

 

[North West Wanderer]

In that case both of Posh's.

As regards JET no thanks. Not after having read a bit more.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

What have you read

 

[Tring Wolf]

Lee Tomlin and Moses Odubajo.

 

[North West Wanderer]

What have you read

Just about his inconsistencies

 

[OsloWolf]

Kevin McDonald!

 

[andyc225]

Just about his inconsistencies

I remember last year Ipswich fans were complaining that he was very lazy at times.

Mick himself said it was a gamble getting rid due to his undoubted potential. However lazy players aren't what we need at the moment

 

[JOSWolf]

Kenny Jackett seems to be saying in Birmingham Evening Mail we will be making no more new signings which is a real shame and very disappointing in my opinion.
We lack cover on the wings and any injuries there and we would be in the $$$$.
I just cant understand why we cant push the boat out to get another winger into the squad. Look at the amount of wingers we have got rid of since last year.

In line with what JOS has posted above.

 

[WasStefan]

Wells. He's on fire.

 

[JOSWolf]

What happened to all the trialists in u21 squad?
Eusebio was supposed to look good, the Australian striker played and scored a goal and is there any new on Torras?

 

[bod101]

we need an experienced head/captain in the middle, an older head someone who can calm or gee up those around him if we don't sort this out i will be very disappointed.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Wells. He's on fire.

Wells is rumoured to be available (according to freely available information!) in the millions. Can't see that.

 

[Essex Wolf]

Won't deny I'll be a little peed off and disappointed if there are no further signings.

If Doyle and Sako remain that will be a major bonus but can't help but wonder if JOH and Johnson staying put is the cause of the problem?

Torras has signed.

Any names you would like?

 

[bod101]

Any names you would like?

no i cant think of anyone off the top of my head but i'm sure there are the players out there

 

[North West Wanderer]

I agree with you by the way Bod. Nous needed. Just struggling to think of potential players.

 

[WasStefan]

Steve Jennings, Coventry.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Good player - has had his issues though and is firmly league 1, no more.

 

[Mugwump]

Julio Arca, Stephen Mcphail and Keith Fahey all free agents, all with plenty of experience.

 

[North West Wanderer]

I'd take the latter two for sure.

 

[Mugwump]

Has that Gomis fella from blues got a club yet? he looked a decent player, or Tom Hateley from Motherwell?

 

[goldeneyed]

Wait till we get a few injuries and the club are forced to get one or two loannees in. The only thing that matters now is that Sako and Doyle stay. The Board won't be giving Jackett any money to spend, of that you can be sure.

I agree along with a winger. Typical of Wolves though we are leaving ourselves short and vulnerable if we get any injuries.

 

[JOSWolf]

Torras has signed.

How come he's not playing for us North West in u21's?

 

[North West Wanderer]

No idea mate but as far as I am aware he's ours.

Certainly looks that way doesn't it goldeneyed!

Good news. He sounds a real prospect.

We could do with 3 new players IMO:

A DM - what happens when Davis gets suspended? Seriously, who will play there?! Foley? I honestly can't think of any other possibilities.
A CB - similarly, what happens is Batth or Stears is out? Ebanks Landell is the next CB available unless we move a FB into the middle, which I'd prefer we didn't
A Winger - as debated, we need someone who can play on both sides as back-up for Sako and Ismail.

Of all the above, I definitely think another DM should be top of the list though.

I think both another winger and another DM should be top of the list Bevan.
With centre back both Ricketts and Elokobi could play there and Ebanks Landell impressed me against Morecambe and has looked good in u21's so far this season.

 

[Bugsy911]

Our good start has again let our owner get away with spending any money.

Until Morgan is out of this club I cannot see how we will progress.

As mentioned above any injurys and we will be in dire need of a few players , strange that after the mess of the last few years we still gamble.

If they're just for back up what's the point in buying anyone? Might as well make full use of the loan market and bring cover in through that. We're where we are now in part due to having a squad full of filler with very little talent and having just got rid of most of them I can't see the point in starting over if we're just going to make the same mistakes

Its called having a competitive squad dane to be fair. No one is asking for six signings but we need another winger. What if Sako or Zele get injured?
Square pegs round holes time yet again?
Who is there to compete with Davis for defensive central midfield and Foley is not the answer?

 

[North West Wanderer]

Why isn't Foley the answer? More than capable imo of filling plenty of positions in this league
