Re: Rumour - David Button

Button was very good at Brentford for the previous 3 seasons before going to Fulham, is at a good age for a keeper, and has plenty of Championship experience. I don't understand the apparent universal outcry at this signing based on nothing but a few bad games for Fulham. It baffles me. To sign a r...

Re: Rumour - David Button

maffff Hope the keeper is Connor Ripley and not David Button.

Won't hold my breath though.


The same Connor Ripley that has played a total of 2 games for Boro and is rated so highly by them that they're willing to ship him out so that they can spunk millions on Karl Darlow?

Right.

Re: Summer Ins and Outs

The transfer fees shouldn't make too much of an impact as this will just sit on the balance sheet and be amortised over the life of the contact. E.G. we sign Darlow for £5m on a 5 year contract, we'll be incurring a 'cost' for accounting purposes of only £1m (£5m over 5 years) per year. It's the wa...

Re: RUMOUR - Jon Dadi Bodvarsson

Good character, plenty of experience, has the quality to make an impact.

Lots of Wolves fans sorry to see him go.

May not have the best goalscoring record but to judge a player on goalscoring record alone is simplistic in the extreme.

Happy with this.

Re: RUMOUR - Jon Dadi Bodvarsson

Were you one of those saying the same about Kermorgant? Nope I was happy with the Kermorgant signing as he has a proven record at this level Just had a look at the Kermorgant Signs thread... At best an underwhelming signing. I'd rather get Samuel blooded into the side. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Shut ...

Re: RUMOUR - Nelson Oliveira

Looks like we're missing out on this one to Wolves.

Unfortunate, but as he's a Jorge Mendes client we never really had a chance as long as they were interested.

In a window where value for money seems to have completely gone out of the, erm, window.. That is a very good piece of business.

Re: RUMOUR - Jon Dadi Bodvarsson

Think people need to remember how woefully short in numbers we are up top atm. We may well still be in the market for a really 'top' striker', but we also need to add some depth and this guy sounds like he has all the attributes to be an excellent squad player. Wolves fans are also, mostly, very pos...

Suspect we wouldn't have announced this unless a new striker was fairly imminent.

I think it would have taken a special piece of journalism to mess up that particular article, but I get your point. My main frustration is that Mr Low appears to just be churning out page after page over garbage everyday rather than doing any kind of investigative journalism. These are quite interes...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Only reason it's been seen as a 'good interview' is because Jaap has spoken intelligently and openly about his rationale, I doubt it was anything to do with the 'quality' of the interviewer. And as intimated above, the headline is inaccurate at best, libellous at worst. The drop off in quality from ...

Re: RUMOUR - Ron Gourlay

He's basically being moved into an oversight role and will have much less influence on the day to day activities.

It's a demotion wrapped up in a promotion.

Re: RUMOUR - Ron Gourlay

We are now rapidly entering unknown territory here. This is a guy who was Chief Executive of Chelsea when they won the Champions League and a number of PL titles, worked in a senior role at Man Utd before that, and is widely credited as a significant factor behind the rise of both clubs. A man with ...

Re: Pre-Season tour - Holland 2017

It does kind of make sense though. Most top flight european teams tend to have a hardened element to their fanbase, and trying to steward that is likely to be both difficult and costly. If they're smart they'll on the sly let in any supporters who have emailed them directly about going out to Hollan...
