Not sure where that one came from? At face value he sounds a decent signing, unless he's been out injured all season or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the other day that someone like Anthony Gardner when he came here is what we need. Djourou is a similar kind of player. Not exactly the big and nasty type but quite calm like Loovens....from what I remember anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny did well for us, and has since established himself in the championship - with his best years still right in front of him. Mulgrew a versatile performer with a cracking left peg. I wouldn't complain, given the current market. Batth is a clogger. Would be a retrogressive step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I think we'd be fooling ourselves if we think another centre back will cure all our ills Sure we do need one, but this team lacks creativity and pace, that much is clear Also, a striker with movement to lead the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Djorou would be a good signing actually still played 20 odd games for Hamburg last season and 30 odd season before and is only 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Djourou also 6ft 3 and has a bit of pace about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 But does seem a little of a last minute signing rather than planned ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes me as a player that would spend most of his time in the treatment room. Quality when fit but to big a risk imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Lees and then rotate between any 3 other CB's who might be fit on any given match day. 17 minutes ago, WalthamOwl said: CC saying he hopes to hear some news on transfers this week!

Quality when fit but to big a risk imo. Just read a bit up on him, played decent volume of games in last few years and started last season as captain. Someone above wuoted as saying he played 20 games last season and he missed a fair few after hamburg exiled him and a few others. Free, tall, experienced, better than Pudil.... it's a yes from me. That said so is almost anyone that we could get! I just want a decent (league one or better) level centerback signed before Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hamburg really seemed to go off at the end and have been a team that shipped a lot of goals for years. I'm not writing him off, especially given there's no fee involved, but I'm seeing red flags with Djorou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hopefully Djourou, Mulgrew and some strength & pace in midfield would be nice Carlos saying he hopes to have new players in next week so here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Brazilian Leo Bonatini is set to become Wolves' first striker signing of the summer. The 23-year-old Al Hilal player is on the verge of completing a season-long loan deal after undergoing a medical at Compton Park today. The former Cruzeiro youngster has been playing in Saudi Arabia for the past year and netted 15 goals in 36 appearances. He had previously impressed in the Portuguese top flight for Estoril where he bagged 20 goals in 37 matches in 2015/16 after initially moving from Cruzeiro on loan. The 6ft striker will become Wolves' fourth loanee and their 11th signing of a busy summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
