Four set to leave Wolves?

I'll be much happier when players start arriving...

..and Maierhofer? Just been to the MSV official site, he is on the list of departures, 'destination unknown'.

I'd rather Griffiths went on loan to a championship or league 1 side so i could have a better look at im , wont see him if he buggers off to League 2 level Scotland again !

First up, agree on Griffiths. What is the point in him playing in Scotland? He needs to learn the nature of English football and lets face it, Rangers and Celtic aside the rest would struggle in the Championship. Let him have a go at that if anyone wants him- otherwise it may indeed have to be L1. Secondly, I have no idea where this Milijias talk started. Not too many weeks ago he stated that he was enjoying life at the club, of course hoped to be more involved, and was looking forward to the new season. If he was trying to stir up a move he would have said something very different. I have no idea why the club would even consider selling him. He is different to anything else we have to offer in the midfield department. He is the best passer of the ball, has great vision, and will score goals if employed correctly. Check the stats and see how many goals he made from limited time on the field. He found it difficult to adapt that first season, his legs didnt seem ready to carry him a full game, but he has worked hard to add some bite to his game whilst others (JVD) ran off home. Milijias was a hero in Belgrade- as per wiki..... The Serbian midfielder enjoyed his best season so far in 2008–09, finishing Red Star's top goalscorer with 16 league goals, 22 goals in all competitions, making him Serbian football’s leading scorer in that season. He also won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, was voted into the All Star Team, named Serbian Superliga Player Of The Year 2008-09 and broke into the Serbia national football team. This form attracted attention from various clubs in Europe. And we signed him. I think he is a great talent and will continue to improve if given the opportunity. The final irk of the story is talk of his valuation. I would be angry if we sold him for exactly what we paid but apparently 'in today's climate he could go for 1.25'????? If I am not mistaken today's climate is one of inflated prices, 35 million pound Andy Carolls, 15 million pound relegated centre backs.... why I can only wonder would Nenad Milijias be worth half his value? Speaking of value, Mouyokolo theory...... sign player 2.5 million. 7 appearances, one injury after another. I am not sure any of us could pass judgment on the player even if we had seen all 7 performances. I was quiet worried heading into the summer fearing we would struggle to shift even half of our unwanted players out of the door, Mouyokolo in particular. His new club must have a lot of faith in him. Again, whilst none of us know the ins and outs of the arrangement it would appear that we will get our money back in a year if they wish to make the move permanent. There is a danger of course they will 'benefit' from the player for a year then pull the plug saying the can't afford him, as happened with The Hoff. I don't expect we will ever see the player in a Wolves shirt again to be honest. The only reason I imagine he will be back with us next season is if his injuries persist. He plays well, they or somenone else will sign him. He has a similar season to last he comes back and we still have another two years of his contract to pay for. Fingers crossed he does well and good luck to him. Concerns continue elsewhere however, speaking of The Hoff. Whilst it has taken a French team to take Mouyokolo, we may have hoped that an Austrian or German side with greater familiarity may have taken the player off our hands. His strike record is fairly outstanding, better than 1 in 2 in Austria, better than 1 in 3 in German football and with a career ratio of close to 1 in 2. Strangely enough there appears little or no interest so if we have to ship him out on a season long loan we may have to do so in order to get him off the wage bill. The good news of course is that the like of Greg Halford can be expected to move on. Then there are the likes of Andy Keogh? To my understanding his contract has expired. Word has it a dozen Major League 'Soccer' clubs are battling for his signature. Just kidding. Sorry, got a bit bored. We MUST sign some players!

Oddy are you sure that is not Playstation? ":)

As for Milijias I'd agree there are better engines. That's not what we signed him for- as it turned out however he did have to develop a side to his game which involved a lot more pressing and a lot more tackling which he was doing well. He's not afraid to put the boot in that's for sure. As far as vision, and ability with it that allowed him to execute the pass he wants to make, I think he would only come second to O'Hara. Anyway, as for JVD he has been gone 7 months now sir! He went to Liege in January and we managed to get our money back. Pompey are still saying they want Halford- Hoff we can only hope someone comes in for, even if on loan and we at least are not paying his wages. Well, if I had a two week nap and woke up to find we had signed the 4 players you name I would be extremely happy. Of the 'veterans' available Woodgate is the one I would be happy to see at the Wolves. His quality can't be questioned but his injuries of course are a different tale. Bertrand is well liked by the Chelsea fans and only having to pay his wages it could of course free up more funds for the likes of a Johnson signing. I also think Keane could well end up back at Wolves- I would assume at this point in his career he is not going to want to go back on loan again but rather look for a new club- he days are clearly over at Tottenham. I was on Vital Spurs and they were talking in the reigion of 2 million which is a steal at any point, depending of course on his wage demands. Mick is of course a great admirer and has been in for both Woodgate (January) and Keane (the previous year) before. The fact he has gone in for them before could put him in good stead going in for them again.

Milijas is too much of a luxury for us to carry at this stage. We would need a far better defence to be able to use him often. Leigh Griffiths on loan to a championship club would be a good plan, would Reading be interested to help sweeten the Mills deal???

NYCW, with many money is a drug. In life, not just in football. As you say, what difference does it make being a 10- or a 11- millionaire? One must be in their shoes to experience the irrepressible compulsion to make still more. Then there is the fame attached, the headlines, a bigger club...etc. Jarvis does not seem hooked yet, and Doyle's test is up, with Arsenal's reported offer for him. So it is not that I mean to single out Keane, but he sure stands out, to give it an American tone. As for Milijas, he is one of the few with any class, and the only one with any degree of vision of the game. All that could be put to good effect if the team tightens up at the back, affording a more flowing game in midfield. Perhaps then we will see an end to the constant passing back of the ball to the goalkeeper, trying to get something going from our half instead.

Oddy... no place for Fletcher?? I thought he was tremendous last season- the bloke scores when he plays so the question begs as to why he was mainly unused through the first half of the season. Nods to W- that's the idea I had in mind discussing Miljias. With better players at the back providing a stronger foundation (and a lot less mistakes) Milijias could certainly add to a more flowing game in the middle of the park. I am now intrigued as to how many we actually bring in at the back. There are that many possibilities it is impossible to guess. Today my mind leans towards Mills and one of the free's- if that is the case then I would be hoping for Woodgate.
