Phil Buckingham's opposite number at the Burton Mail does not anticipate any problems with the deal, appears the fact he's in Japan that has slowed the progress of the deal down.
Lets wait for the winter to see how Wolves fair..Their sunshine boys won't fancy a trip to Sunderland when an icy wind is blowing off the north sea or its pissing down in Leeds....Gloves and ladies tights. There be loads of 'missing in action,' notes for them. They'll fall away as usual.
Wha seems interesting is that, despite the well publicised **** at our club, players who seemingly had offers from Derby, Birmingham and Leeds to name but 3 decided they wanted to come here...
And all three of them have had **** going on. The difference is we've had **** but also had success too.
The fact we've been promoted 3 times in 9 years to the prem might make them think we've got something about us? We maybe sell ourselves short on how others actually see us?
..... And to be fair, appointing Slutsky was a masterstroke. Pity the Allams are ****s in so many other respects
My son-in-law is a lifelong passionate Wolves fan and cannot understand this sale - he really rates him. (Played decent football himself)
Particularly if they sign Rhodes. A slow player playing in a high intensity pressing side - poor fit if they are after him.
I've seen a mixed reception from the Wolves fans. Some say that they're sad to see him go and that he could be a real player once he's over his injury. Some are saying that he hasn't been right since his injury, has lost a yard of pace and isn't clinical enough. I'm happy with this one. We'll have the chance to see if he's good enough to start and if not, he'll be good back up to Abel.
I'm in Corfu and a Wolves fan (not knowing I'm a City fan) said 'despite his injury he was a good work in progress'. When I played my card his reaction was ' I'm ****ing well pissed off mate'
