John Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I would have expected Wolves to have kept their thoughts private on this type of speculation but it seems they have gone public Batth on this one which suggests we might yet be prepared to cause a ripple in the transfer market. £5m would be a lot for us to splash out from our very limited resources but if he turns out to be another Lescott then we might have the L'Oreal thing on our hands and he could well be worth it... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've just had a look on Molineux Mix and most Wolves fans are saying they should bite our hands off. A bit surprised as I thought he was really highly rated amongst their fans. here's the link to what they are saying: http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?s=eb9f541de5bc77622dd236a01027cb04&t=88836 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It looks like this leak has come from Wolves so the 5m price tag must of been leaked by them also. They are most likely just trying to drum up interest in him and using our good name as we could potentially be looking for a CB if we lose Ron.

Brumstopdogs Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 This is probably just pure speculation. Time will tell - I guess it will all come out in the wash. If we do sign him let's hope he scrubs up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Sounds like Lambert has had an Eureka! moment and realised how to get us playing like Bathalona. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 2, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) A chap I work with is a Wolves fan and says Batth played really well for them last season, but he did qualify it by saying that it was his first proper season for the club and that it was against league 1 opposition. Sounds like a decent deal if it was the good old days where we could spend 5m on a prospect for the future, or a back up, but as a replacement for Vlaar, I doubt he'd be good enough to be honest. Can't think of a good bath related pun... Something about showering him with praise? That'll do. Edited August 2, 2014 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Replacement for Vlaar will need to be an established quality player that can hit the ground running No inexperienced league one player like this bloke please If Lambert is going to sell him he needs to replace him with someone of equal quality or we will be going backwards which means relegation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'd include Baker (even on loan) as part of the deal, if it's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'd rather they spend the money on a defensive coach personally. They can buy all the defenders they want but it's clear the issue is as much systematic as it is personnel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Roy Kleane is at Molineux today, scouting? Having just watched that game, there's a few of their players played very well. Don't see the urgent need for us to sign any of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think Batth will be our option should Vlaar leave. If Vlaar stays I can't see us signing him this year, not unless they think he's really good and we want to get him on his books before his value skyrockets.. which is unlikely. Makes sense to scout him, just in case Vlaar suddenly turns around and hands in a transfer request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has played the total of one (1) game at a higher-than-League-One level. Vlaar is a World Cup semi-finalist. We cannot, CANNOT, replace him with a 'project'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
