MM has been after a couple of defenders as well. Hopefully Blouse will see sense and come down on the price they're after. Hennessey is plenty good enough but still needs competition and good quality cover IMO.
I was hearing Upson/Woodgate.. 
We do need a lot more quality, or i can see us struggling again!
I really like the direction the club is going at the moment, generating profits, improving the training complex and expanding the stadium. Not to mention playing hardball over transfers and the silly valuations that are asked.
Another defender or two and I think we will have a decent season as long as we keep our players fit

Talking of playing hardball on transfers
Those are some serious savings.
Still need a couple more IMO.
local paper said:
Wolves’ hardball approach on transfers has been rewarded after the club secured top signings Roger Johnson and Jamie O’Hara on cut-price deals, it has emerged.
The club paid just over £4m to Birmingham for Johnson for a flat fee with no add-ons.
That figure is nowhere near the £7m ‘confirmed’ by Blues at the time, or the £6.4m that was widely quoted in the days after the deal was completed.
Midfielder O’Hara cost them £3.5m, well below the £5m reported when he signed from Tottenham.
Reports suggested Blues had initially wanted staggering £14m for Johnson before dropping their price to £10m then £9m.

Johnson straight in as captain then apparently.
Looks like we haven't really lost anyone either, although the squad DOES need trimming back to make funds for new players. Fletcher has looked pretty damn good in pre-season and I'm hoping he can carry it into the season!
Bring on Blackburn! So glad the season is starting shortly.

Prediction for the season: Mid table - comfortable survival.Looks like we haven't really lost anyone either, although the squad DOES need trimming back to make funds for new players. Fletcher has looked pretty damn good in pre-season and I'm hoping he can carry it into the season!

Fletcher is a cracking player, and considering there are weaker teams around you who've not signed decent players (Blackburn) and teams who've lost their stars (the mags) I think you'll do well this season.

Wigan have lost players too, Fulham's average age is slowly getting to the OAP stage..
Feeling quietly confident actually.
O/T how long you back for mate?
Supposed to be home till the 2nd of November but it could be as early as mid October. Feeling quietly confident actually.

Wigan always look like a team that will struggle but seem to just hang on. Without n'zog, that could change
