Ive said it before and I will say it again, we need more pace at the back, it was ok in league 1 where the strikers didn't have the ability to exploit this weakness but in the championship players will spot and target this, who knows?, maybe the sale of batth could be a chance to rebuild our defence with more pace and proven championship quality.



Been today, I know it's a friendly but not impressed. I feel we need strengthening down the spine of our team! Mid table at very very best with this squad! Paul Tamworth

Sale??? Hope not



The season hasn't started and you want to get rid of our best player danny bathe won't let you down



Are you having a laugh Paddy

Well if you want experience at the back look no further than Foley, Johnson, Elokobi and Ward all at no extra cost. Thought not.



Should bid for Adam Forshaw who is unsettled at Brentford and wants out. Wigan already had two bids rejected but likely that he will go sooner rather than later and Brentford unhappy with Wigans public approach.

I'd like to see Forshaw here. We'd be fools to not even try.



We drew with a team that finished 9th in the one of the best leagues in the world. Have some confidence in what we are trying to achieve.

Realistically we will only sign more players when we get rid of group 3. Most of these will be gone at worst summer next year. Only O'hara will be left then.

I agree with you DAT. We are still in the process of transformation and we shouldn't expect too much too soon. I can't blame Morgan for not putting any more money in, having already seen how easily it gets wasted, and how hard it is to undo past mistakes. If it takes 2 or 3 seasons to turn Wolves into a team ready for the Premier then so be it. At least we're moving the right way.



If you expect nothing that's exactly what you get, If they adjust the entry prices to reflect ambition that Ok . The potential at the club is enormous let's live it!



I don't want to sound like a management consultant, but we must manage people's expectations. 2 types of Wolves fans one lot who have 2 seasons in EPL, next step Europe and 40,000 seat stadium Then there is the complete pessimists where nothing is right.

I think we are somewhere in the middle at present, we don't know how good the players we have are, every challenge that has been set they have achieved. Let's wait and see.

Yebbut the potential for failure is also huge, as we saw, so let's not start taking any risks, especially expensive ones.

I don't expect nothing. I do expect to see a team out there trying to win rather than turning up to collect their pay. I expect our owner to make sure the business end of the club is secure. I expect our manager to make good decisions. I believe I will see 3 out of 3 this season.

Norwich drew 2-2 against Celta Vigo in their pre season friendly so it should be interesting what result Wolves get.



02 Aug 2014 20:20:44
Our first choice back four all have Championship experience. As for pace, Ricketts and Golborne can both get forward. Or would you like Naylor back again?



02 Aug 2014 20:22:13
Interesting too to see how well we compete against one of the better teams in the division, whatever the score.



Just replying to a few above posts, firstly, I don't want to sell batth as he is probably our strongest defender but there is a rumour that villa are planning a £5million bid for batth if vlaar goes, also, I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist, and you can't honestly say that we shouldn't take defensive changes into consideration when stepping up a level like this.



07 Aug 2014 13:02:25
£5 million would be hard to turn down, if the bid comes. I wouldn't want him to go for much less than that, though. On the other hand, it sounds like Villa believe he's good enough for the Premier and £5m for a young defender at that level is a bargain. Luke Shaw went for £26m :-)



08 Aug 2014 08:15:12
I don't think Villa will offer 5mil and I don't think Wolves will sell unless Danny really wants out which he doesn't.



02 Aug 2014 09:27:41
Zigic ain't going to come. I've searched high and low- not a single site or source states we are interested in the ex-brum striker. I recon it's all coming out of some people's bums. Who agrees with me? Kenny Jackett wouldn't want him.



Thelwelll has now gone on record to confirm that there is NO interest in Zigic!
