I liked Keogh but it isn't wrong to say that he never really lived up to his potential. He had good games, just not enough of them.

Meh, depends how high you're setting the bar. Ultimately we bought him for £600k from Scunthorpe and he played and scored in the Premier League, as well as getting international caps.

The way our fans were towards him at matches during 2007/8 was genuinely disgraceful.

Definitely agree with the last bit.

I guess I should have worded what I said as 'never really fulfilled his potential' rather than 'lived up to'. He was a player with loads of promise and I thought he could have been better than he ultimately was.

Tall, powerful, fast, young, probably cheap. All for that one, if true. But obviously I’d never heard of him up to about 15 minutes ago.

Holy fuck, look at him go! :ROFLMAO:
 
Who is this Moffi lad? Is there an actually credible link there?
 
Interesting post on the "rumours from the pub" thread on MM.. Thought i'd post it here. It could explain the complete 180 deg u turn on policy from the club. I don't know the poster (Beijing Wolf), and i'm not saying it's true, but it might just be the reason we are seeing the loosening of the purse strings.

A lot of rumours going around about Guo meeting with the Chinese Ambassador a few weeks ago, and being told that Wolves are an important public face of China in the UK and they expect success.

Probably bull****.

It’s true.

Was not going to share this originally, but I had dinner with a friend of mine who has travelled over as part of Fosuns entourage. He is the son of a very prominent Government official and part of the closer ties between the CCP and Fosun has seen him move into the Fosun legal department, specifically UK business based as he has a Law Masters degree from Cambridge.

He told me that now essentially Fosun are the main face of Chinese business in the UK. Wolves represent Fosun who in turn represent China. Especially in the Premier League where we have owners from all over the world, it is seen as shining a spotlight on Chinese management and business culture. Essentially they really want/need Wolves to be successful.

Would explain this sudden splurge of money.

Interesting if true. And it does seem to make sense.

Not that I'm mad for the info, but has your friend ever heard of an NDA?
