I seem to remember Curbs. getting Charlton to 6th in the prem. Then the fans wanted more so he left. Remind me if you will, what happened next.

MM is doing a great job and Halford is another potential star.
Can't wait for the season to start.

Anyone who doesn't realise that Curbs was a superb manager at Charlton really doesn't understand football at all. He may have been poor at West Ham, but that shouldn't detract from his excellence at the Valley...

How can anybody get excited by such a signing? It will take a lot more than signing journeymen to sustain life in the Premiership. Come on McCarthy, raise your sights. Wolves belong in the Premiership - remember the DOOG !!

Oh dear, MM buys a good utility player who can challenge for the squad and fans still moan F*^&!NG TRUST HIM!!!

Its like you going into work, making the company an extra £60,000,000 and then a bunch of people telling you how carp you are and how to do your job.

Im happy as anything, really optimistic and cant wait for the season to get going

GET A GRIP ALL OF YOU!!

I'm a Colchester fan and really think that Halford could be good for you guys. What he really needs is to simply settle down - too many clubs since leaving the Super U's has meant he's never really hit his stride.

Play him on the wing or up front in an emergency - but he's not one for the crunching tackles.

Good luck Greg!

Vooly_Bully_ASDA *4* Nice man u are not but I'd preferer MM to Bruicie (as long as they got someone in to do his purchasing). Otherewise Brucie all the way.

It was a geat ship thanks, a fine bowel movement!

Emjoy the shelf packing next wekk, TA

Keane signed Halford from Colchester because when Sunderland played them in the championship, Halford was the star man and Keane was impressed enough by that game to sign him for 2.5 million.

In the games he played at sunderland he looked like a liability however and after being given his chance at the start of the 07/08 season he quickly dropped down the pecking order.

I was surprised that we actually managed to get real money for him rather than a trade for a new, fully stocked, stationary cupboard.
