Of course not - but equally I can see if you're building a squad you aren't going to be signing 22 stars. He's got good Championship experience, plays in positions we need reinforced and is rated by his current team. You need to be realistic and realise for every star name we are linked with we are going to be linked with 3 others. The expectation you clearly harbour is incredibly unrealistic. Maybe it unrealistic but why has it got to such a point is maybe the bigger question? See the point? As for being unrealistic, i would say that you stating a highly sort after 19 year old Scottish lad wanting to join us over Celtic or Everton is somewhat unrealistic dont you think? Pray do tell where I say that? I said, and I'll make it simple, that he may want to come because we can offer first team football.    Report

SPOT ON wolves player michael kightly was released by spurs then picked up by basildon then signed up for southend then released after few loans at farnbrough, then signed for grays then wolves and now he is one of championships hottest prospects to say that because they been released somewhere down the road doesnt mean they arent good enough now!    Report

And on top of what I posted earlier, the player(s) from Blackpool.  I think if you asked anyone here whether or not they wanted Hoolahan then the resounding (and deafening) reply would be yes please.  Personally I would take both the blackpool boys we are linked with, Gorkss in particular looks a class defender who also scores goals.    Report

Lets be honest here Jimmy.Why has it got to such a point that we have to sign such players? I agree some great players have came from the lower leagues,but its few and far between nowadays unlike the Bowen,Chippy and culver days and those that do will be sniffed out by bigger clubs straight away. Face it jim, we have no young'uns coming through and all the crown jewells have been sold to make way for off pitch activities and what not. We've lost the plot under this lot and the fact we can hardly field a net ball team is proof but if you think otherwise,so be it.    Report

Given the competition we are up against we would do well to land any half decent, highly rated player. I get the impression alot of people on here are expecting an influx of quality players this summer. Dream on. We will bring 6 new signings as well as loanees. If we signed 6 Adam Chambers we should count ourselves lucky. "In football, criticism makes you stronger. Sometimes it's unjust but you can't change it.
