The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

[Alan]

The Baltic Maierhofer.

Gold star for anyone who can name the two Danish keepers we've had on our books previously.

I can't believe I remember this. Jørgen Nielsen isn't it? And Budtz, obviously.

(Remember from looking through a list of all former Wolves players for that thread we did about an international Wolves XI)

Alan swoops in. Did not expect you to get that! In the nicest possible way.

I think we've had four other Danes on our books if anyone wants a go at that one.

 

[Alan]

Buur is one. Someone named Bischoff or similar...

No idea on the rest.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Buur and Bischoff are right.

Allan Neilsen

Didn't Jørgen have a brother? He might be one.

Think Darlo beat me to it.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Allan Neilsen

Correct, one to go

Didn't Jørgen have a brother? He might be one.

Don't think they were related

 

[Alan]

I've got the last but I've had to cheat.

 

[Boozad]

Jacob Laursen/Laurson?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jacob Laursen/Laurson?

Bingo (it's the former). One of the great double loan signings with Gunnar Halle. Thanks Dave.

 

[Boozad]

Halcyon days.

 

[Alan]

Jones liked his Scandinavians, didn't he?

Had to google him! Great signing that one

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Halle, Laursen, Ingimarsson, Gudjonsson, Björklund and Bischoff were all his. Signed Seyi from Norwegian football. Went on a pre-season tour to Norway.

He did however turn down Kim Källstrom for a relative pittance, which was a work of genius.

Edit: Add Iversen to that list.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That Kallstrom decision still annoys me.

 

[Premier Quality]

I quite liked Bischoff, shame he was made from poppadoms...

 

[YoungWolf]

Same! Did we have him on loan from City?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We had a stunning ability for buying players made of poppadums. And then you have to remember poor Murray who came through the academy with the same affliction. God I still feel sad about that now. He could and should have been at a top four club and England keeper for a decade.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, he was alright.

Forced to get him (or anyone) after DJ decided to release Butler and Okoronkwo, not replace either properly, go through various trialists (Youl Mawène, Matt Booth and Adrian Iencsi) and end up panicking and signing an effectively retired Björklund, which amazingly didn't work out. Then played Lescott when he was about 30% fit in a Saunders-esque episode of "oh well, if he gets injured then that's life".

DJ was a prick sometimes. Well, a lot of the time.
