All Activity

Also Connor Wickham scored a worldie goal today playing for the 'unattached 11', his name will be banded about and linked to skin flints like us in the next week or so

I agree we shouldn’t be in this position but we are so I’m talking about our current options he turned Birmingham down on Monday so that’s not true

Or boycott the rest of the ground, these with a voice pack the JW, turn backs to the pitch and chant constantly at the regime. Too comfortable with most of the noise coming from the end of the ground, in the same stand in front of them really turns up the heat. Even more so whilst on Sky.

He needs to go back to being sub keeper. Ismael (or maybe someone higher up) needs to drop any grudge to avoid us taking a huge risk with a kid as next in line.

Suggested Dawson pretty much as soon as Hyam was out the door, I'd like it to be true but could also just be Nixon putting 2 and 2 together for a story....

I dont think it changes anything "dramatically." Anybody we do sign will take a long while to get fit and considering they are a free agent in September, there will be a reason for that. It would be a desperate signing following the untimely loss of a key player. Whoever if anyone we get still represents a huge downgrade on Hyam.

Lots of smokescreens at the moment. Not daft the two stooges, they know that the pressure is building both in terms of results but more than that the outrageous transfer activity of this summer. Gestede speaking to people via LinkedIn. Hastily organising a 'podcast' or whatever it is with Gestede, Ismael and Owen - attempting to present a united communicative front (of course all questions submitted in advance, cherry picked and rehearsed beforehand). Handing Rhodes a work experience position to charm the fans who remember his goalscoring efforts. Giving Nixon a name or two of targets we are 'after' to replace Hyam. All part of the playbook. None of it actually matters, what matters is offloading quality players that we owned that got us into top 6 contention, trousering the proceeds and gambling away our Championship status.

I want to be positive, I really do. It’s difficult when we’re going from a 29 year old who was at his peak and one of the first names on the teamsheet until a few days ago to a 35 year old who hasn’t played for 7 months and was so bad that he wasn’t even registered for half a season. The fact that no one else is even willing to take him on a free, with all the money flying around this summer suggests most clubs have seen what Wolves saw when they removed him from the squad.

It’s quite strange how this Dawson rumor comes out around the same time the disastrous deadline day of Hyam leaving and not being replaced and fans complaining about lack of experience. Probably a smokescreen but would be a good signing although lack of fitness an issue

I thought Hause retired from injury two years ago

And Wolves went from second bottom with 9 points/-19 goal difference to 42 points and 16th in the league. Suggests Dawson was part of the problem and teams clearly haven’t been beating down the door for the last 7 months to sign him

Hause has played approx 20 games in 5 years that’s a hard hard no and I know the situation we are in I’d much prefer to gamble on a kid

Don’t disagree wit most of that however two new signings at big prices made and toti was out injured until mid jan or feb Dawson at his age was clearly not at th at required level However dawson at this level and for our obvious needs would be perfect. Why would brum want him if they didn’t think so how realistic or even true it is time will tell

I'd have never agreed in a million years prior to this window. But as we've managed 7-figure fees for JRC, Buckley and another one that skips my memory, it's plausible that we could con someone into paying a million for Calamity.

Understand your point and can see why you think that. On the flip side, shortly after that game you mentioned, their manager was sacked and replaced by Pereira (very end of December) who then clearly made a very quick decision that he wasn't in his plans.

Kortney Hause would be some addition, just can't see it happening unfortunately

Mentioned previously that we should take a look at Kortney Hause. He’s been in the news for the wrong reasons this week (crashed his Lamborghini in Birmingham) but he’s the right age and certainly not a bad cb. The other name, which is never happening, is Kurt Zouma. His wages would be huge but at the moment he’s not earning anything so who knows. Think Danial Amartay is also potentially without a club. They are too high profile though. We’ll probably end up with the lad from Oxford who was released on the last day of the window.

One of them only played 5 games after signing. For me, it’s a massive red flag when a 35 year old defender on the back of some really poor form is left out of the squad completely halfway through a season and then doesn’t play a competitive game for the best part of 7 months. If we were going down this route, why didn’t we just offer Batth a new contract on decent terms? They’re contradicting everything they’ve been preaching for the whole summer. Goes to show what we all know, this has always been about cost cutting rather than squad building.

Whether Dawson signs or not, it shows we're in the market for a free centre half which is very promising. Hopefully we bring an experienced one in as I think that changes the make up of our transfer window dramatically.

To be fair, we’ve found our 5 a side now. Travis, batth, Weimann, Beck, & brereton. Against older ex players.

If you know, you know, but even if you don’t an explanation:

Arthur Alexander - Where Have You Been

Dawson would be a perfect signing in current circumstances. Vast experience that we need, leadership, useful on corners. Would give me a lot more confidence for the season.

Wolves paid over 30mill for two centre halves in Jan whilst he would need time to get up to speed even his knowledge in the changing room would be good

If its a deal we want then get it done imminently. That way he can get fit quicker.
