  2. Guyz, I follow Ligue 1 every week, and this is a risky­ transfer for Wolves. Zubar is mostly known for his­ blunders, and everybody in France makes fun of him. He­ is truly the french Titus Bramble...

    GOOD LUCK!

  5. MM is trying to accumulate some depth. Better now than­ in October when players are crocked and the xfer window­ doesn't open for another 2 months. Wolves have to­ stay up that's all anything else and it'll be­ considered a bonus so why not go for the bonus now by­ ensuring we have enough decent players.

  10. Wait a minute. Let's not get too carried away. I­ would love to see Wolves be more competitive in the EPL­ next season and think they are more than capable of­ attracting decent players but Zubar is not one of­ those. I've seen him play and I really don't­ think he'll add much. Thankfully Wolves' squad­ is already decent so if things don't go as planned,­ they'll cope. But please don't pin your hopes­ on this guy.

  11. there'll be no doubt about that.

  12. How can you have a bad opinion on this player ? you lot­ have never seen him play . and at the end of the day he­ is the right age and has the potential to improve at­ that age .stop knocking the signings ,get behind mick­ ,as he really made any bad signings ?

  13. oh man i can't wait to see Wolves in action. i got­ tickets for their match against Perth Glory here in­ Perth. the team is looking sweet.

    From aleksicn93, on Sun 5 Jul 4:38AM

  14. Not sure if hes good or not, another relativly­ unknown.
    I presume signed for pace more than anything­ as if you have seen craddock run we need it. POOR MANS­ MANCIENE MAYBE??
    He will do though cant be that bad to­ have played in champs league.
    Another centerhalf please­ Manciene, a striker and another hard @#$% central mid­ and we might have a chance

    From david w, on Sun 5 Jul 12:50AM

  15. another under 21 international, great signing! we need­ manciene then am happy bring on the prem league. cant­ wait till nenad milijas blasts a spanker past­ sunderland now, there fans need to focus on there own­ team and stop the critics!

    McCarthy's building up the wage bill with useless­ signings. As soon as Wolves hit the relegation zone,­ which they will, he'll be off and the next manager­ will be saddled with a load of useless jobsworthies­ & Wolves will be left with the debt he created.­ Read his C.V.

  17. Wolves, barking at the moon !

    From Edmond Dantès, on Sat 4 Jul 11:30PM

  18. McCarthy what a plonker. He'll take Wolves back to­ the Championship just like he did with Sunderland. This­ "Top Signing" is typical of the rejects he­ signs.

    From Viva Espana, on Sat 4 Jul 10:58PM

  19. Titus Bramble of Ligue 1.He may have champions league­ experience. Wont last against premier league forwards.­ He cost marseille a chance at the title with his costly­ mistakes in the 07-08 season and most of the fans booed­ him.

    From Shameer, on Sat 4 Jul 9:58PM

  20. Another quality signing from the Wolverhampton Wanders­ board coaches & staff , a lot of people were­ raising doubts about Jez Moxley and his signing of­ players this proves some harsh critics wrong - well­ done to Wolves & all involved . Yours truley Steve­ Bull
