Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Did anybody notice the mail has run a story of how edouard will likely hold out for a better offer with no quotes and sound virtually the same as we were discussing yesterday!

These copy and paste journalists really grind my gears

They are to journalism what fan fiction writers are to literature.

The flip side being that we have a hell of a lot of fans who will bite at that type of comment hence giving that journalist the ‘click’ that their employers desire.

To be fair I was one of the ones who said it and I STILL got click baited haha

I wouldn't mind if Jota left. He didn't do it consistently in the Championship with Small Heath so it was always unlikely he would be a consistent top flight player. When Small Heath were shown live on SKY in his last season there on a few occasions he did actually seem to be their best player on his day. But I saw more anonymous performances than man of the march performances from him.

Shame about Jota. When he put that lovely ball through to Wesley to score against Everton, I thought we'd unearthed a gem.

[Brend'Watkins]

We would have if he could have just lifted his pace to a level above your average snail.

we've been linked with omar colley, 27 year old central defender at sampdoria. he was at genk with samatta.

saints also looking at him as well.

Omar Colley...Sky Sports news anchor crossed with The Wire legend. Worth a punt.

Amazes me with the side they have and the fact they are good for the first time in about 30 years, just how per-occupied dog heads are with Villa. When we were top 6 every season I don't think I thought about them once.

40 years

Was about to say this - 30 years ago Wolves were mid-table in the (old) Division 2, having spent a few seasons in the (old) Division 3 and 4 before that.

Last time they were more relevant than they are now was 1979-80 when they finished 6th and won the League Cup.

It's a sign of insecurity that they're trying to manufacture this rivalry which hasn't really existed since they signed Andy Gray.

They're probably solid mid-table in our rivals list.

[Richard E]

It's not even as if with all this giving it large they have actually won anything.

twitter announcement video will be a mock up of this:

Always think of the Noses and Tesco's as our main non-competition.

Hardly ever think about the Dogs at all.

Last season was the first time in our history that we didn't have a single league attendance under 40,000. That's 40,000 week in week out to see a struggling team, play very average football and lose quite often.

The potential is there, the base is set. If we can push on this window and get the 3/4 improvements that almost guarantee cementing ourselves in the division and then next season push the boat our for a head turner or two then the ground is not big enough and we will need another 10,000k on top.

40,000k to watch a relegation battle, 50,000k easy to watch winning, eye catching football.

Wolves are nowhere near that level of potential, they're based purely on an agent and a bit of money. They're one bad managerial appointment away from disappearing and employing the likes of Lambert and Deano again.

Saw an article earlier linking West Ham with Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser from Bournemouth.  I acknowledge that the latter hardly covered himself in glory with his behaviour last season, but think they would both be pretty decent signings for us really.
