TC just signed for 5 years  049:gif

Fantastic news confirmed on the Offal. Shows real intent & ambition from the Club. Our targeted signings will take note of this.

[Mince n Tatties]

Grealish to Spuds 20 million.
Talknonsense said the other night that they weren't interested. :005:

[Fernhurst]

Thank you Swiss72, fabulous news this fine evening.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Splendid news about Tom Cairney, following on from Scott Parker yesterday and let's hope it's the beginning of good things to come.

[wheelerdeeler]

Reckon we'll announce the Sessegnon new deal tomorrow. We love a Friday announcement.

Cava is very good, Wolves fans on twitter are all laughing saying we have no chance. If we did sign would be tops.

Dont underestimate the lure of London. Massive Portuguese community in the capital. Cant imagine what living around Wolverhampton is like?.

I have been a loyal supporter for 55 years.I. Lived in south London until I was 20 and then moved to a town 10 miles from Wolverhampton. In my early years I imagined that people north of Watford were inferior to Londoners but I grew up to realise that people are just the same.Wolverhampton town is not my favourite place but there are some beautiful places to the near north and west.We are FFC no matter where we reside.

Many players that are new to the country want to go where the rich are - affluent people typically populate with others that are similar. London can be a huge positive for those with new money and who don't know any better... Likemany 24 year olds.

Bakary Sako? Think he out there available to pick up on a free transfer would be a solid squad player to bring in I think

[Mince n Tatties]

Cavaleiro I believe is going to happen.
3rd bid in,if Wolves weren't interested they would have told us go away not for sale at any price..They're looking for around 18-20 million I should think.

Agreed, on a free signing he would be a good pickup as has proved himself a capable player at Prem level under Roy last season.

Funnily enough I was out with a Palace fan last night and I brought up Sako was on the released lists but he thinks that he is still in negotiations with Palace over a renewal, rather than has been let go completely. He reckons Palace will agree an extension with him but I would be happy if we snuck in and got him from under their noses.

Cabaye has been released as well who would also be a top notch backup for Cairney if his knee tries to fall off again, but apparently is due to sign for someone else imminently. Shame...

Sako would be a great signing just based on quality, but he's 30 years old and injury prone. IMHO that's not the kind of players we should look to sign, even for free.

West Ham are close to signing Jack Wilshere, who is a free agent after leaving Arsenal. The Hammers have offered the 26-year-old England midfielder a three-year deal worth £100,000 a week.

If true absolute madness. Don´t know what his signing on fee would be. They won´t be blowing their bubbles if they continue with these insane salaries.

West Ham are such an odd team. Why would anybody want to go play there in a lifeless dead stadium, ***** brothers for owners and constant mediocrity? Other than dollar. I've answered my own question.

[FFC1987]

I'd love Sako, but I also heard hes pretty nailed on to re-signing from a few Palace fans, could be rubbish but based on his social media etc you wouldn't of thought he was leaving. On a free, even with his injuries, he'd be a great addition to the squad. Great attitude.

A good analysis!

Sky sports saying we have enquired about cm seri of nice. Chelsea and Arsenal also interested and nearly joined Barca last season so I doubt this will happen, but nice to be linked to that level of player

If true that would be quite the coup.

Nice to see that we're being linked with big names if nothing else. Given that he is rated at around £35 million I don't see it happening.
