Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

Daily fail are reporting just over 2m with add ons.

Worth the gamble at that, was worried Wolves would go crazy and ask for 7-10m!

Bargain if that's right, get it done. With Axel staying and back in late Feb I reckon that'd be us sorted in the centre, happy with Bree as emergency cover until Axel is back if we got a couple more injuries.

Move on, left back and defensive midfielder next please.

It is in a bull shit story about Tammy going to the dog heads though

TBH I think Eze is a very good player, would really like to see him at VP

Don’t bet against it, he has a strong link with our new goalie.

My tatter mates rate him highly

Just don't understand why he didn't feature at all last season. Given we eventually want to be playing Wolves type football you'd think he'd have played some games last year (can understand more if they don't think he's got enough for premier league).

Just hope there's no attitude issues e.g. he was probably given big contract while ago and lost that hunger as so many young players do.

With Boli being so consistent and strong on the left side, would you have left him out for a young player. Wolves strength last season was not chopping a d changing their defence much.

I don't know whether I'm just showing my age, but there's something slightly unsettling about the first line of his Wiki page: Kortney Paul Duncan Hause (born 16 July 1995) is an English professional footballer and rapper[3] who plays as a centre back for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I guess Stuart Pearce was a left-back and electrician.

I would have been fine with protest singer, but rapper? FFS!

Anyone else grimace when we keep being referred to as:

“A platform for players to develop”

[brian green]

Perhaps that is code for 'professional footballer and part time railway guard'.

I guess this is where we find out how good Smith is at finding bargains. A centre half who disappeared from the wolves side just as they got "good" doesn't hint there's a big budget knocking around and certainly sounds like he could have been on Smith's brentford transfer target list . Still, he fits the criteria of building a squad of players we actually own and who aren't approaching or past 30.

Not in the slightest. Having a reputation of taking young players and making them better is exactly what I want. If the first few seasons of that mean they move on after 1-2 years at a big profit then that's ok.

I reckon we will bring in at least four new players this window, Kalinic already included.

It was more Danny Batth getting games (he started the 4-1) and that guy is awful at this level.
