Transfer Speculation Thread 2014/15

Hopefully the Jackett factor will win through for us.

Think there are quite a few question marks over Powell's attitude. Wigan fans seemed to think he was quite lazy I think. I like Wilson too but I can't see us signing anyone on loan that we can't sign long term. That said Powell is probably quite a bit down the pecking order now with all the signing they are making

Have to say that when I saw Wigan play while he was there he reminded of me of Connor Wickham; big, strong, with slightly above average ability to make the ball stick, but not really looking all that dangerous.

 

[YoungWolf]

He's a completely different type of player to Wickham

 

[Alan]

Just saying what he looked like to me. Maybe I'm mistaking him for someone else?

James Wilson and Nick Powell have both been left out of Man Utd's pre-season tour. Would love either or both of them here.

Wilson looked lethal vs our U21's last season. Natural finisher. I'd love to have either of them at Wolves, although I don't think we need any more central midfielders so Powell would just be a luxury.

You must be. Only Wigan player I can think of that fits your description is Grant Holt.

Carry on!

Powell is a very talented footballer

He's just a big lump. We don't play long aerial balls so I can't see how he's going to make any impact.

 

[Norman Deeley]

He went off to Barnsley on loan and scored a few at the end last season didn't he? But don't really see his as our type of player under KJ.
Just checked stats - 4 goals in 14 appearances for Barnsley. 6' 3" though for those people who like "a big man up top"

His 4 goals were against Blackburn, Donny (x2) and Derby. 3 out of the 4 were at the start of the spell. He was on the bench a lot for Barnsley and didn't even make their matchday squad for the final game. He got 0 assists, so clearly he didn't make much difference as a "big man up top".

I doubt it will be straight up cash, more likely a loan with a view to a perm move

[Carrotdude]

Yeah I still think if it happens it'll be a loan to start with at least

 

[Jojo15]

I know Proschwitz from his time in Germany. He is just a big striker who waits for his chances. His finishing abilities aren't that great, either. He had only one good season with Paderborn. Hopefully we won't sign him!

Bamford please

 

[YoungWolf]

+1

And possibility of a permanent deal as Chelsea will only want to sign more forwards in the future

 

[Carrotdude]

I'd be very, very happy with either. Fingers crossed.

 

[Johnny75]

The cynic in me suggests this was a manufactured headline:

E&S Hack: So Kenny do you think Bamford from Chelsea is a good player?

KJ: Yes

E&S Hack: And Chris Wood is a player you admire?

KJ: Chris is an excellent player, but I think players deserve a chance to play at the highest level with their parent clubs first before looking lower down the pyramid.

E&S Hack: Would you sign either of them?

KJ: Contracts are always the sticking point

E&S Hack: But it's a possibility if you get them on loan?

KJ: Loans have worked for us in the past.

The E&S then run a headline: Bamford and Wood on KJ's radar.

 

[Lord Knows]

How would Kenny Jackett manage the squad with extra strikers, if for example we added Bamford would he feel inclined to select him in a system with two up front or maybe a front three.
Whats Dicko's injury record?
