Berra Fee Agreed

Hearts have granted captain Christophe Berra permission to open discussions with Wolves and a deal is expected to be completed by the end of the weekend.
The SPL outfit have decided to sell the defender after agreeing a fee with Wolves, which is believed to be in the region of £2.3million.
Hearts will, therefore, be without Berra for Saturday's trip to Hamilton as the Scotland international is due to travel to England.
Wolves missed out on Berra in the summer after failing to meet Hearts' valuation, but Molineux boss Mick McCarthy, who has criticised the Scottish club for making the deal public knowledge, now appears set to land his man.

Wolves: Defender Neil Collins is suspended after being sent off at the Madejski Stadium while on-loan Nigel Quashie could be replaced by Dave Edwards.

Watford: boss Brendan Rodgers has no new injury concerns.
Hornets goalkeeper Mart Poom (shoulder) and Gareth Williams (knee) are out with long-term injuries.

Transfer News

Goalkeeper Shane Higgs will stay on loan at Wolves until the end of the season.
Higgs, 31, who joined Cheltenham in 1999, looks to have played his last game for Martin Allen's side as he is out of contract in the summer.

Charlton have signed Wolves defender Darren Ward on loan until May.
Centre-back Ward is no stranger to south London, having spent four years at Millwall and two years at Crystal Palace.
The 34-year-old had just returned to Molineux from a loan spell at Watford, where he made nine league appearances.
He is expected to go straight into the squad to face Burnley at Turf Moor.

Match Reaction

Wolves boss McCarthy felt that his side competed well but was left to rue Collins' error.
He said: "Apart from the goal which is a defining moment I'm delighted with how we played.
"We scrapped to the bitter end and they've had a right go. I've no problems with them."

McCarthy was visibly fuming with the decision to send Collins off at the end and felt that his players were not protected.
He said: "There are certain individuals that I am raging with but they are not on my team.
"I haven't asked the question why he was sent off as I thought I'd better calm down first but I think he upset the linesman's feelings.
"That of course is more important than any bad tackles that were flying in.
"But there are 17 games left and 51 points to play for.
"We are still in the front and it's impossible to go through a season without a bad run.
"It's how we respond to it. There's nothing we can do about this now."

Wolves Bid Rejected

Hearts have rejected a £2m offer from Wolverhampton Wanderers for Scotland defender Christophe Berra.
But Hearts are looking for no less than £3m for 23-year-old Berra and have rejected the approach from the Championship leaders.
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey did not wish to be drawn on any bid but said: "It is not news that we have had a long-standing interest in the player.
"But we will not discuss transfers until they happen."
Wolves had a £1.5m bid rejected for the central defender, who has three international caps, in June.
However, Hearts have said that, in the current economic climate, they are prepared to listen to offers for even their best players.

Davies Joins Bolton

Midfielder Mark Davies has signed for Premier League side Bolton for an undisclosed fee.
Davies has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with Bolton after last week handing in a transfer request.
The 20-year-old had been out on loan at League One leaders Leicester, but was left out of the Foxes' squad for Saturday's home game with Huddersfield.

Team News

Reading: will be without right-back Liam Rosenior against Wolves and so Julian Kelly could make his first start.
Defender Andre Bikey is back from his own one-match ban but ankle ligament damage will keep him out.

Wolves: new signing Nigel Quashie could make his debut, whilst Richard Stearman is available after suspension.
They also have Chris Iwelumo and Stephen Ward fit for what is likely to be a much-changed team from the one that faced Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.

25th January 2009

Match Reaction

Boss Mick McCarthy defended his decision to make five changes with a top-of-the-table league clash at Reading on the horizon.
Wolves travel to the Madejski Stadium to take on their nearest rivals on Tuesday.
McCarthy started with top-scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake on the bench alongside the likes of Michael Kightly, Andy Keogh and Kevin Foley, all of whom are likely to feature against the Reading.

"To be fair, Stephen Ward was injured and Richard Stearman was suspended," said McCarthy.
"But I think if our aim is to go to Reading and get something, then to have all my team play 90 minutes ahead of playing the most dynamic team in the league - and arguably the best team in the league - would be folly on my part.
"We still tried to win the game. We had three strikers on trying to win the game because we didn't want a replay. But it was not to be.
"We will now play a league game instead of a cup game and that's it. It's all about the league now and we are in a good position."

24th January 2009

Premiership Bid For Davies

Wolves midfielder Mark Davies has become a target for Premier League Bolton after handing in a transfer request.
The  20 year-old who is currently out on loan at League One Leicester, was left out of the Foxes' squad for Saturday's home game with Huddersfield.
And Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that Leicester have also made an approach for the midfielder.

Boss McCarthy said: "We've had bids from both Leicester and Bolton for Mark.
"We actually want to keep him and have offered him a new deal, but he doesn't want to stay and has put in a transfer request."

Telford-born Davies was considered a superb prospect when he first broke through from the Wolves Academy four years ago.
He was rated as the club's best home-grown product since Robbie Keane by then Wolves Academy director Chris Evans, who is now on the coaching staff at Bolton with Gary Megson.
Davies did well when handed his first-team chance under Glenn Hoddle, becoming almost a regular over the second half of the 2005/06 season.
But a pre-season knee injury just a fortnight after McCarthy took over as manager in July 2006 put his career in hold and he missed all of the 2007/08 campaign.
He made a goal-scoring appearance for Wolves in the 3-2 Carling Cup win over Accrington Stanley in August, before going out on loan to Nigel Pearson's Leicester in November.
Davies, whose contract runs out in the summer, has received rave reviews since joining Leicester.

"If there's a deal that can be done that is right it could happen," said McCarthy. "It's a real shame becomes he's come through our Academy and is a good player but hadn't played for almost two years due to injury.
"He eventually gets fit and goes out to Leicester and has done well and now wants to leave.
"It's kind of sad that he sees his future elsewhere but, if the deal is correct, then we'll do it.
"I don't know what has happened with the bids as I don't deal with that side of things but I imagine negotiations will be taking place."

If Davies does leave Wolves would be entitled to compensation as he would still be under 24.

Quashie In On Loan

Wolves have made a second loan capture from West Ham inside a week by signing experienced midfielder Nigel Quashie.
Following young winger Kyel Reid's arrival, Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has again targeted Upton Park for his second move of the January window.
Quashie, 30, has just returned to West Ham following a two-month loan stay at Wolves' local rivals Birmingham City.
The Scotland international has signed on loan until the end of the season.

20th January 2009

Friendly Win

Wolves beat Újpest in an entertaining friendly at Molineux with first-half goals from Jason Shackell and Chris Iwelumo.
The Hungarians included seven of their first team regulars in the starting line-up as they prepared for a return to League action following the winter break.

Wolves took the lead in the 24th minute through Shackell, Mirsad Mijadinoski was penalised for handling to the right of the Újpest box and when Reid lifted the free-kick over, the ball broke to the defender who drilled home a left-foot shot through a crowded six-yard box.
Reid also played a part in Wolves second goal nine minutes later, again following a free-kick after Zoltán Lipták fouled Iwelumo two-yards outside the area in a central position.
Reid lifted the kick over the defensive wall and although his effort beat the diving Balajcza the ball bounced back off the post. But Iwelumo was there, stooping low and nodding into the empty net.

18th January 2009

Match Reaction

Mick McCarthy said after the match: "Adebola seemed to have a point to prove and changed the game - but I'm still livid that we didn't see it through.
"We had enough chances to make the game safe and in the end we were guilty of some very poor defending.
"I was so pleased with the way we played for much of the game and there were a lot of positives to take out of it.
"But it is very disappointing not to have taken all three points and no-one is more upset than the players in the dressing room."

15th January 2009

Transfer News

Colchester United have signed winger Lewis Gobern from Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on a one-month loan deal.
Gobern moves to the Community Stadium after spending a week training with the League One side.
The 24-year-old is in line to make his debut for Colchester in Saturday's game at home to Cheltenham Town.
Gobern, who has made 13 appearances for Wolves, has previously had loan spells with Bury, Blackpool and Hartlepool.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed Wolves midfielder Darren Potter on loan until the end of the season.
Owls manager Brian Laws is hoping to include the 24-year-old Republic of Ireland international in his squad for Saturday's home clash with Charlton.
Potter started out as a trainee at Liverpool before completing a £250,000 move to Molineux in January 2007 following a sucessful loan spell, but he has yet to feature in Wolves manager Mick McCarthy's first team this season.

West Ham youngster Kyel Reid has joined Wolves on loan until May.
The 21-year-old returned to Upton Park at the start of January following a month at Blackpool and has previously enjoyed loan spells with Barnsley and Crystal Palace.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has been on the lookout for a wide midfielder and swooped for Reid after a move for Rangers winger Alan Gow fell through.
Reid, who could make his debut at Bristol City on Saturday, has made nine appearances for the Hammers' first team, scoring his only goal in the Carling Cup victory over Macclesfield earlier this season.

14th January 2009

Match Reaction

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy said after the match: "I'm very pleased with the performance, I thought we played well and deserved to win.
"I thought it was a penalty and, likewise I thought ours was a penalty on Saturday, but we didn't get it.
"You get some, you don't get some. I haven't seen it again but my viewing of it was that it was a penalty
"And we were fortunate because with Richard Stearman getting booked again he would have got sent off."
Regarding his side's second goal, he added: "I was always told the referee was part of the field of play. "If it was me then I would be unhappy about it, of course I would, but that's the rules, it's part of it. And we had to do a fair bit to put it in the net after that.
"We missed about seven or eight really good chances as well."

The 31-year-old never really established himself with Wolves after signing from Ferencvaros in 2006.
Rosa scored twice in 10 appearances at the end of his first season, only to fall out of favour when Mick McCarthy took over as manager.
The last two seasons have seen him play only two Carling Cup games against Chesterfield and Morecambe.
He also had a brief loan spell at Cheltenham under former Wolves assistant manager John Ward towards the end of the 2006/07 season, making four league appearances.
Rosa is now a free agent after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

11th January 2009

Match Reaction

Boss Mick McCarthy said after the match: "Preston gifted us one goal and we gifted them three.
"When we cock up, we do it big style. It's sod's law Stephen Elliott comes back and does that. I bought him for those qualities and he's a good player.
"But we have not played well. That's the upshot of it and they have deserved to win. They took their chances.
"There's no panic here. We are a good side and have answered all the questions asked of us over the first 26 matches."

Transfer Updates

Alan Gow is on his way back to Rangers after failing a medical ahead of a proposed transfer to Wolves.
The 25-year-old forward looked set to move to Molineux after the clubs agreed a fee of about £250,000.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy said: "It's nothing serious, it's something bio-mechanical but that's something for Alan and Rangers to sort out, not us.
"He's a good player who would have added to the squad, but that's not going to happen.
"Alan has gone back to Rangers. We'd agreed everything with him, but something has shown up in the medical which we are not completely happy about.
"In a way, this is a credit to our medical team and how thorough they are.
"There's still plenty of time left in January and hopefully we will strengthen. We have a squad of players who have been doing well, but of course we will continue to try and bolster the squad."
Meanwhile, Rangers say their medical staff will treat Gow for the problem discovered by Wolves.
A club spokesman said that the 'bio-mechanical' problem that showed up in his medical could be treated with physiotherapy.

Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws has signed veteran Michael Gray from Wolves on a month-long loan deal.
The 34-year-old former England international will be in the squad to travel to Ipswich this Saturday after falling down the pecking order at Molineux.
Owls manager Brian Laws said: "I am delighted that Michael Gray has agreed to join us on loan. He is a player who brings a wealth of experience, plenty of quality and is a committed character.
"Michael also brings a degree of adaptability, is equally comfortable on the left of midfield or at left back but has played more recently as a midfielder and that is where I intend to use him.
"He is also a player with a winning mentality and is a strong character coming into our dressing room."

Leicester City have re-signed Wolves midfielder Mark Davies on loan for a second month.
The 20-year-old returned to Molineux when his initial loan spell expired after last Saturday's FA Cup third round tie against Crystal Palace.
But Leicester have agreed a new deal with Wolves, allowing Davies to rejoin the Foxes until the 1st February.
Davies made seven appearances during his first month at the Walkers Stadium, scoring once.
Leicester boss Nigel Pearson told the club website: "Mark has done very well for us since he joined and I am delighted to have been able to secure his services until the end of the month."
Davies will be available to the League One leaders for a further five fixtures, starting with Saturday's visit of Leyton Orient.

6th January 2009

Jarvis In Contract Talks

Wolves are in contract talks with winger Matt Jarvis with view to extending his current deal at Molineux.
The 22-year-old, has played a key role so far this season, despite spending over two months out injured.
His current agreement is set to expire this summer but McCarthy has stressed the club will definitely be taking up a one-year option with a view to keeping him on board for longer.

Boss Mick McCarthy said on WOW: "We're in negotiations with Matt, his option will be taken up that's for sure. We'll be sitting down to discuss it with him and his agent.
"Jarvo is another one who loves it here, he wants to be in the first team and he's like the rest of us - he wants to get to the Premier League.
"As I said last week, players should want to stay here to win something and get this club somewhere by winning something. They should want us to get there as a team and play a part in us staying there."

December Player Of The Month

Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has been named as the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for December.
He scored three goals in December during which Wolves collected 11 points to maintain their lead at the top of the Championship.
The monthly awards are voted for by the country's football fans and Ebanks-Blake beat Julian Speroni, Lee Carsley, Kevin Doyle and Kevin Phillips to receive the award.

He said on WOW: "I'm delighted.
"The months seem to be going that quickly that they're merging into each other but I'm really pleased to have won the award.
"Thanks to all the fans that voted!
"I'm not sure how many other fans apart from Wolves fans would have voted for me but it's nice to be recognised in this way.
"When you're playing against a team you know the opposition fans are going to want their team to win and they pay to back their team.
"But if some of them have voted for me because they appreciate how I play then great.
"Hopefully I can win a few more!"

5th January 2009

Fee Agreed For Gow

Alan Gow is meeting Wolves as he closes in on a move to Molineux.
Rangers have agreed a six-figure fee for the forward after he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Blackpool in the first half of the season.
Gow, 26, scored five goals in 17 games Bloomfield Road which attracted the attentions of Mick McCarthy.

Rangers boss Walter Smith expects the move to go through and he told the club's official website: "The clubs have agreed a fee for the player and Alan and his representatives have gone to speak to Wolves.
"As long as they reach agreement, the move will be finalised in due course but they have to talk first.
"Mick McCarthy has done a terrific job down there. Last season was disappointing for them but they've settled down this year.
"After missing out on a promotion place, they're doing well and look to be the favourites to go up to the Premiership as they've got a fair gap at the top of the league now.
"I don't want to pre-empt anything but it certainly looks as though they'll get promotion and Alan has an opportunity to join a club on the up. It would be a good move for him."

4th Round Draw

If Wolves beat Birmingham in the FA Cup they have drawn Premier League Middlesbrough at Molineux.
The match will take place on the weekend of 24th or 25th January.

Match Postponed

This afternoons 3rd Round FA Cup tie at Birmingham City has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

There was a pitch inspection at 11.45am by referee Howard Webb and although the pitch had been protected by two frost covers, parts of the pitch were playable but other parts were considered as dangerous and in the interests of player safety referee Webb decided to postpone the game.
Birmingham have now announced they will be fitting under-soil heating in the summer, few months to late for Wolves fans, and a disgrace when Non-League teams worked all night with volunteers to get their pitches playable.

The match has been rescheduled for Tuesday 13th January, weather permitting!!

2nd January 2009

Team News

Birmingham: welcome Nigel Quashie, Gary McSheffrey and Stephen Kelly back into the squad after injury and illness.
Damien Johnson suffered no ill effects from playing 90 minutes twice over Christmas on his first-team comeback following a long injury lay-off.

Wolves: Michael Mancienne has been recalled from his loan spell at Molineux by Chelsea, forcing at least one change.
David Edwards is the only new injury doubt for Mick McCarthy's team.

Mancienne Loan Over

Wolves have confirmed that on-loan defender Michael Mancienne has returned to parent club Chelsea.
He had been due to stay at Molineux until the end of January after extending his deal last week.
But with Chelsea struggling with injuries, and Brazilian Alex repeatedly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this month, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has chosen to recall him to London.
Mancienne is now expected to play some part in Saturday's home FA Cup third-round tie against Southend.
He made 10 appearances for Wolves during his time at Molineux.

Gow Talks Confirmed

Rangers manager Walter Smith has confirmed Championship side Wolves have made an approach for forward Alan Gow.
A fee has yet to be agreed for the 26-year-old, who has spent the first half of the season on loan at Blackpool.
But Gow appears to have no future at Ibrox after making only two appearances for the Gers since joining from Falkirk in June 2007.
Smith told the club website: "We have had an inquiry from Wolves for Alan Gow and negotiations are ongoing."
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy, a long-standing admirer of Gow, had a bid for him rejected by Falkirk in January 2007.
But he has now followed up his interest with a fresh approach after seeing Gow catch the eye in the Championship this season, scoring five goals in 17 appearances for the Seasiders.
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey confirmed that talks over Gow's future were ongoing.
