OK, well he wasn't a vastly marked improvement on Ikeme, let in a howler against someone at home (I can't remember who) and he definitely wasn't worth a 10mill bid (at the time)

Jackett managed that whole situation badly. If either he or Ikeme made an error he'd drop them, which made them nervous and affected them both

I agree, but the fact that Martinez couldn't keep Ikeme out tells its own story.

Anyway, the point in hand, I'm amazed we offered 10mill for him in that era.

I could see us bidding £1m for him but never in a million years would we have put in a £10m bid for a keeper that had spent his career mainly on loan (and then went on loan 2 more times). We didn't have Jeff as our chief scout at that time

Totally agree, seems utterly bizarre.

Makes you wonder what players get told by their clubs/agents, and how much of it is true.

 

[Kenny]

Maybe Emi just getting confused after being told "they bid like 10 times for you but never went above a million" Footballers brain = £10m

 

[Trips]

No way we were bidding £10m for him, in the Championship, after dropping him for Ikeme

At the start it was a random process who player out of him and Ikeme and guaranteed you were dropped after a mistake. Then he got injured and couldn't get back in. Would be odd that we put a huge bid for a keeper we had seemingly decided wasn't good enough at the time and was running down his loan.

I’m just glad Mark finally let it all out it must have been killing him bottling it up all this time.

He's just a fucking weirdo that hangs around this forum for some bizarre reason.

He's clearly a Wolves fan, not sure why he says he isn't. Tbf he's no worse than a few other wums.

Just listening to Emi Martinez podcast with Ben Foster.

Going back to this, Neil Cutler is also a guest.

Aren't we all?

We were in the midst of a takeover until the very end of July 2016, we didn't have any money until then, certainly not £10m.

Lonergan was our only first team signing until that all got completed.

 

[Pastywolf]

A pub down the road from me have an interesting evening ahead, shall I go and ask some questions on behalf of this forum?

 

[The Bear]

Ask him about being Wolves manger.

Actually it's in a church so no wonder.

 

[Keef]

£20 and a pasty, they’d better be an excellent pasty for that money
