Wolves manager Mick McCarthy insists he will not be tempted to "pigeon-hole" the sort of players he brings to the club.One of McCarthy's most successful transfers has been winger Michael Kightly - whom he plucked from obscurity at non-league Grays in 2007.
And McCarthy believes that Kightly's progress since arriving at Molineux shows he is right not to always go for established players.
"I've been wrong on some signings, but if you only set your targets on certain people, Michael Kightly would never have come to the club," McCarthy told the club's official website.
"I think people thought 'how can the mighty Wolves be signing Kightly from non-League Grays?' Eighteen months on, he's the hero and no-one would argue he's not one of the best signings we've made.
"I don't like pigeon-holing players and saying 'that's the way I want to go' because if you do it, then the first reaction is a negative one and we don't need that."

What is all this rubbish about mighty Wolves? The opnly thing big about Wolves is its ego and the salaries drawn by the incompetent management over the past decade.
In any event MM will only cast his net over Barnsley or Sunderland.
Another failed season I feel, the club is just trawling out the same old rubish to sell tickets, knowing that promotion would excpose the heirachy shortcomings.
Don't care about pigeon holing players or not, but what Wolves need to do is some attacking and start scoring goials as opposed to playing for draws or sitting back all the time at 1-0 and going defensive!
