My fingers are crossed for Marcus Olsson, 27 year old Swedish international who can also play on left wing and is available on a free as his contract has expired with Blackburn and was there player of the year last season in 14-15, also has a vague connection with Hughton as he signed his twin...
Ipswich were asking for £10m for him earlier this year... as Luke Garbutt hasn't gone to Bournemouth on loan yet, will be interesting to see if Mings heading there changes Martinez's plans. If Bournemouth are making that sort of investment in a player, I'm presuming their intention isn't to...
Testing was last Friday, the players who weren't fit enough were in this week for extra training, those that were had the additional days off this week and start training tomorrow.
Just looked at his stats with Sunderland last year, not surprisingly for an injury prone player he was out for just under 4 months a the start of this year. But since returning spent the next eight matches on the bench, making it off twice. As he wasn't totally match fit, it's hard to tell what...
1 Euro equals 0.71 British Pounds currently, so a million euro's is about £710,000.
Also if there was a 1million euro buy out maybe we did similar to what Arsenal did with Suarez the other season and offered a euro over to trigger it (only with more success)
For those moaning, Hemed scored 8 goals in 35 appearances for Almeria in La Liga. Ulloa scored 7 in 34 appearances.... and look how well Ulloa did for us. Yes, Memed might not have the same impact, but he at least deserves a chance before people start complaining.
Expect Sam Baldock to do a lot better this coming season than the last. Do think 20 goals from him might be a bit too much, but wouldn't be surprised if he got 12-15 if played up front regularly as one of two strikers and got decent service.
Liam Rosenior is primarily a right back - seriously doubt he has been signed to play on the left when there are v good players available who play in that position.
With regards to Bruno, wouldn't be that surprised if he spent more time playing right midfield next season, especially when the...
Bridge was much nearer the end of his career when he arrived and look how that worked out (same with Upson). If we can get someone like Garrido to come down and play on the other side, we'll have a solid defence that won't leak many goals. Lot of good teams have been built upon solid defences.
Yeah, Luton are interested in CMS, as are Notts County supposedly. Did read a rumour that MK Dons are interested in O'Grady but not sure how reliable that is at mo.
In that case fingers crossed that we only play against them in the pre-season friendly. Surprised that Shamir Fenelon wasn't involved on the fringes of the squad last season, given our strikers struggled to find the net, but as others have said maybe Lge 2 is his current standard. Best of luck...
Apparently wages aren't as high as one might expect, Burnley have offered him 14k a week according to this piece, which would fit into the clubs wage structure: http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2015/05/14/wolves-join-albion-in-chase-to-sign-sammy-ameobi/
He wasn't adverse to using 4-4-2 at Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich. Hopefully if he can bring his own players in, we'll see him go with a front pairing a few times next season.
Wouldn't mind Hooper. Him + Zamora / Baldock would make for a good front pairing, especially if the club brings in a couple of wide players who know how to cross.
Absolutely no chance of Guidetti joining us. He has already priced himself out of a move to Feyernoord by asking for 'astronomical' wages, also said back in April whilst still on loan at Celtic that he wasn't interested in joining them permanently which led to him being dropped from the first...
