SuperDerbySuperRams Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Haven’t heard much for a while but told he will be our first summer signing, out of contract at Wolves, and banished to the u23’s by their manager after a failed loan spell at Fulham. He was one of Wolves’s best players before an injury a season or two a go. Worth the punt on a free, I suppose. Told he is quick and skilful.

Cam the Ram Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Makes the end of the January transfer window even more frustrating if true. We supposedly went for Grosicki and also had a deal agreed with Lookman that I'd imagine would have included a fairly hefty loan fee, so we probably could have afforded a small fee to sign Graham early. Either we chose not to, or Wolves decided not to strengthen a potential promotion rival (at the time)/kept Graham just in case they were hit with injuries. Meanwhile we sold an important player for a few hundred thousand without signing a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit silly of wolves to play him once as a sub without the intentions of keeping him, prevents the possibility of him going out on loan a 2nd time if the 1st didn't work out, which it didn't.

He played for Wolves in the first game of the season then the full 90 in 2 league cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Good squad player when fit, he has had worse luck than Thorne with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Let's hope he has better luck if he does sign. 21 league apps in 5 seasons is pretty dire even by our standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Now that’s an interesting one... sadly a championship signing if I ever saw one, but could be a decent addition for depth in the wide areas. Had potential when he was younger which he could still achieve, we need more quality than this but on a free and low wages it’s hardly a bad shout.

RIMBAUD Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 In a way the most encouraging element of the news is that GR would appear to be addressing our most pressing need: quality in wide areas. (not that I know how good this fella is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hopefully snapped him up on a really cheap contract with add-ons for appearances. Low risk with a chance of a high reward. The sort of signing we need to mix in with the experienced, low risk signings we’ve accumulated recently. I’d have a policy of no signings over the age of 28 this summer, unless it’s a genuine bargain. We already have the oldest squad in the league. As much as we all want to go up ASAP, we need to make sure our team is sustainable and we’re not looking for 3/4 replacements every single summer.

RamNut Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 A gamble given that we have already got two players who have suffered ACLs and both are struggling to back to the level they were at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Rambe33 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Touching on a lot of whats already been said, but a gamble given the ACL injury. Do we put that as a "must have" when we look at potential signings? He is young, still quite raw I'd say but ability there for sure. Plays without fear and will go at players which is what we are lacking. On a free, well worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 You mean we're about to sign a winger who is actually a winger, not an attempt to convert a 'number 10'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
