We only want impact signings at Wolves

'There is nothing imminent but we will keep on trying. It's got to be someone who will improve the team, not just to fill up the squad.' You mean like half the squad Mick?????? Hamill, Surman, mujanji Bai, shackle and numerous others that you have wasted millions on in total. You pay peanuts you get monkeys..........Fact!!! Frimpong was a great coupe for us and that is the type of player we need to be looking at. Young, skilful and pacey. The Manciennes of the world are NOT the answer.

"There is nothing imminent but we will keep on trying. It's got to be someone who will improve the team, not just to fill up the squad." - Eggert Jonsson anyone ? I think Frimpong highlights that we've had no one talented or creative enough in the middle of the park, and his introduction very much transformed us into an attacking team 1st half against villa. Whilst we have him on loan, that is great, but itsa position we must fill with a Wolves player soon. For now, I reckon we need a goal finder - I was very excited when I heard rumours of Kevin Davies, I think he would be the impact player we need - lets face it. we are relying on Fletcher as much as The Gunners are on RVP Then there is the area we have been woeful in all season long - the defence, RJ has had a couple of good games, but over all has been poor, so it is here that we need urgent attention too. Onouha was a favourite, but the peanuts we have on offer mean it's unlikely we will find anyone decent at the back. Dont get me started on the Mancienne story. Frimpong, (yet again Frimpong) also offers much needed protection for the goons at the back, so I'd still go for Davies as the impact player we need, if we could convince him somehow.

Fotheringham sorry....not Fotherington

So when Mr Morgan said its some one the press had not mentioned thats because no body has heard of the ******** guy hes be playing in Cyprus he must be brilliant. What the ***** is going on at Wolves it has to be April fools day allready i thought they said we had money to spend so we have 1 loanee some one for 6,oo.ooo and now a nobody on a free transfer it gets better by the day.

Surely it doesn't take the brains of an archbishop to realise that if you buy 3 or 4 players for 1.5 mil each and pay them 20k a week to sit on a bench that you could actually buy 1 decent 5 mil player and pay him 65 - 75k a week. A player that may actually be good enough to push us on as a team. We have wasted a fortune on players that never cut it rather than a few quality ones that will keep our Prem status.

Having said that I still don't think that the base of the team is that bad if they were coached properly. If I was Morgan I would sack or demote Connor and offer a short term contract to someone like Ray Wilkins. a guy that was good enough to Coach Chelsea that may actually get the best out of our current crop. And if he does well..........we could always offer him the full time Managers job in the summer. Just a thought.

Rustmonkey- MM is not being judged fairly, in my opinion, on what he's forced to cut his cloth from.QPR signed our mutually targeted CH from Man C for a reported £3million, or so. It isn't the transfer fee that's blocking MM moving for them; one chat with their agent will end all Wolves interest. They are asking MM to compete with managers who are given the green light to sign players on 50% more, in wages, than our team captain; it can't be done (three times!), now can it?I'm sure the players we have would stretch the capabilities of far better coaching staff than we have; who coached Berra to attempt to 'clear' Bent and not the ball?; who coached Jarvis to set up goals for the opponents?The arguments i've heard this week, seeking to blame the coaching staff for every lack of quality shown by one of our players, has been something to behold.The marked difference in team shape and balance (especially since the addition of Frimpong) is down to someting other than coaching and flexible tactics, apparently, because our teams are not receiving either...so it must be coincidence, or accidental, of course. Not down to planning in anyway, so the story goes. Mind you, it's been nothing compared to the portrayal of McLeish as a (even relative) tactical genius. And why is he , very suddenly, being presented as that by Wolves fans? Because he dropped his LB(knowing how Kightly had performed at WHL;master stroke! What a genius!)He was then forced into a change, due to Agbonlahor 'feeling unwell', and became a tactical genius in the Black Country (NOT in Brum, I might add-the Villa fans take a differing view of him).So, our coaches stumble upon, by accident, improvements to our side, but other teams ordinary (relegated) managers and coaches only ever plan to drop completely the wrong player for a fixture. I'm sure Villa's 'tactic' of having Keane score a wonder goal to clinch it, has more to do with the Villa board's tactics, regarding player salaries, than anything drawn on the board in the changing room.Our problems stem from further up the corporate ladder than our team manager; the PL comes at a price. The Championship comes cheaply.

Ironically he was another that never got a chance due to a stubborn manager, lol

Wow, A4D, a new definition of the term 'reactionary', which I had always thought meant someone who resisted change. However, I do take your point: we have played well recently but it is largely due to the performance of Frimpong. When he was stretchered off, we fell to pieces, even before Henry's dismissal. That's how fragile our improvement has been. We have stumbled on a winning formula - and all credit to MM for running with it - but it does rely (to a ridiculously high degree) on the fitness of Frimpong. Regarding Freedman, he's turned the club round and his ten man team held out for ages against Cardiff. Lousy spot-kicking though. We are going to have to live with MM for the rest of this season but, if we are relegated, DF might be someone to look at.

A4D: in your last two posts you reflect a particular strand of anti-WW establishment opinion that places the blame for our predicament on the penny-pinching policy of our board, possibly with a hidden agenda, rather than on our manager. There’s some truth in this assertion but I do not buy into it completely. Anti-establishment I might be but I am not a happy-clapper member of that tendency, and have to be convinced of the virtues of a specific point of view before adopting it. Thus, I have to see concrete evidence of improvement before I can absolve MM of all blame for our current problems. It’s no good pointing to promising displays against Arsenal , Spurs and Chelsea because we we’ve been here before, defeating MU, MC, Chelsea and Liverpool last year. At the same time we have played badly against teams we should have beaten ... or at least we have not played consistently well enough to secure maximum points. Some of MM’s selections and tactics have been bizarre, while he still stubbornly refuses to admit the shortcomings of players like Elokobi. Moreover, I am not certain that he carefully thought out the current set-up but luckily found himself with a player who could beef up our midfield and give us greater drive going forward. As with the 4-5-1 formation he discovered in the second half of 2009-10 I only give him credit for recognising the value of the system when it fell on top of him. It remains to be seen if we genuinely have turned the corner – and with a fit Frimpong we might have done - or remain, at best, plucky losers who sometimes get a good result but who more often let ourselves down by committing basis errors. Modern PL football is all about pace, movement and athleticism (lifted from another blog), and, watching the Wolves perform week in, week out, I am not sure that our current coaching team have fully embraced those notions.

SB - Big George has no shortcomings. He is the complete player. I won't hear a word said against him!! lol!! In all seriousness though, I think some of us are under the misguided illusion that we are a PL team. We are not. Only a handful of players in that team are PL standard. So it should come as no suprise to us all that we are floundering about again in the basement of the league. I'm prepared for the fight. I know Big George is. Are you?? UTW!!!
