Would Stearman favour a move to Ipswich?

Spot on. I have on repeated occasions over looked his sometimes ridiculous errors, which more often than not occur in dangerous positions his finger bounces off the panic button but he has all the attributes of a very good player. I would want at least double the figure that has been mentioned (I really don't know where some rags think up their valuations of players) but even then we would not be able to bring in anyone better. As Banks says, his versatility could prove crucial as the season unfolds and we lose players to injuery. For a time there he and Berra were developing a fairly impressive pairing but put two error prone players side by side and yes, you are going to get double the trouble. My concern is that Berra is the one being paired with Johnson which above anything else leans toward a fairly obvious grooming when in reality we should be signing another to play alongside Johnson- he is going to have to prove something special if he is expected to shore up such a rickety back line; I don't think one player, no matter how good he is can transform a back four. Just like Jody Craddock has bounced back more times than, well... one of those bouncy balls, Stears has managed similar. With age on his side I think he can still have an important future and we should keep him. At most I would let him go out on loan, if by some miracle we have signed two new defenders but even then, after two years in the Premiership what is he going to learn by dropping down a division? Right, I am off to work where I will try to think of things that bounce in impressive fashion.

... in slow motion play-back!

oddjob does it really matter stearman after 2 years in prem has been found not good enough if we take last season we let more goals in than the season before. If we got 10m for stearman hahaha would we buy any body better i think wolves and moxey would try to do every thing as to not pay out for the fee or wages to get better players in.RJ was brill signing but where are the rest of the signings. If we take mm at his word we have signed 1 player and this is from a club that finished17th last season and were going to improve please someone tell me im wrong all replys welcome

I can't be bothered to check but I am pretty sure it was the local rag that mentioned a million which is typical- same as Milijias, according to the 'Star' is somehow only worth half what we paid for him- how could anyone reach that conclusion. No one at the club ever mentioned selling Milijias; the player himself said he was perfectly happy at the club and will be doing everything he can to get more games next season- tack on to that the fact Mick has been using him a fair bit in the warm up games; hopefully he will enjoy more game time next season. The Stears situation seems much the same. Jewell says he has not asked about the player. Last week Stearman was talking about the increased competition and his will to fight for his place. It's a nothing story. Anyway, about that Sunday Sport 'article.'

Oh and from reports Wolves line up against Ipswich was De Vries , Foley Ward Zubar Craddock Davis Hamill Milijas Griffiths Keogh and Blake , And it was pretty even , Ipswich maybe getting the better of the game , Bowyer was very good but was playing against young Danny Davis so no wonder Ipswich had the better of the opening hour , But then our big boys came on and we won 2-1 through Hunt n Blake ( Pen which he earned himself ) , Subs in the last half hour onwards were O'Hara Berra Johnson Kightly Stearman Fletcher Henry Hunt Elokobi , Doyle and Hennessey not used , No Jarvo again due to a sore groin , will be missing for a few days as a precautionary , No Edwards n Guiedioura again though as still injured

NYCW Bowyer marked an 18yr old youth/reserve player in Danny Davis , when our big guns came on Bowyer did naff all , dont read too much into it !

Dont take no notice of them , The board and MM have stated TIME AND TIME again that our big guns are not for sale , Liverpool Villa Villareal have all been linked and it soon died away , everyone knows Arsenal need defenders , they are gonna be selling Fabregas , you really think they would replace him with Jarvo , oh please hahaha ( no disrespect to Jarvo ) , Hunt aint a replacement as hes a first 11 starter as Jarvo will be on the opposite flank if hes fit for the start of the season naturally , I have seen the link but just as Doyle's was with Arsenal it will fade away , 7 million wouldn't get you Fletcher let alone Jarvis !

Now that signing i would like , Barton n O'hara has quality and bite , and hey if we need to play the 4-5-1 in games those 2 with Henry would be very good , I doubt we would sign him but McCarthy likes him , I just think clubs like Everton/Sunderland/Fulham well all bottom half clubs will want him so we will have compeition , be a class signing if we could make it happpen !

ODDJOB THE THREE MMMs should make it happen if they did it could it could be a pivitol point as to where The Wolves are going and a big statement to other clubs we are not small time but for some reason dont think it will happen just a feeling the way things are going as in statements from Mcarthy and Moxey. We do not expect any more dealings but we are still talking to other clubs what does that mean?The wife is Newcastle think would be great signing for us "you've got him on a free you're on a no win situation"is what she said.

Oddy I was just saying that Bowyer has been a good player wherever he has been and to boot he will do them a job next season. Anyways, I asked what people thought of Barton months ago; I think he would be our best signing in years if we could get him. Unfortunately he thinks he is the best English midfielder not playing for England so I can't imagine him signing for us; we certainly would not pay the wages either and it's all ridiculous. I would make him our top earner. He is worth a hefty chunk so once you have crossed out the transfer fee you are just paying his wages, which of course he will, and should, expect in plentiful amounts. I think he has grown up without losing his bite; for a midfielder he has got the lot. Sadly he won't be signing for us. As for Fat Mike at Newcastle it only makes me grateful we have got Morgan in charge. Ashley must be laughing his socks off after last season, the money he made back on the club; releasing Barton must have his personal accountant applauding.

"One by one, those that have crossed Mike Ashley's path are being picked off, just like the enemy entering a sniper's line of fire.."Have copied that from VitalNewcastle.Like you say,NY & OJ,let's count our blessings.The grass isn't always greener.It's as though Ashley is a particularly vindictive Mackem, who's being given chance to kill Newcastle from the inside out.Good job, so far.

Strictly speaking,SB,it isn't an over cautious approach,until the window has closed.Two signings before then,and the world seems a different place.IF this is it,then clearly the budget set aside for transfers was less than we imagined it would be.That then brings into question the 16mill stand,on top of the obvious accusations of not only having stood still on team investment,but actually having gone backwards.We'll see.

Southbank i agree we sit in the dark and dont have a clue whats going on as i have said it is confusing 1 comes out and says dont think there will be any more signings but in the next sentence but we are still talking to other clubs about certain players.Does this mean we are still trying to signother players or are they just saying this as to try and keep the fans happy.
