The Wolves Forum

In just a few weeks time, Wolves fans could be watching 3 of their heroes in the greatest Football tournament. 1958 was the last tournament where Wolves had more than 1 player taking part, in that year 4 players were named in the England squad and all of them played a part. This year Nemad Milijas (Serbia), Marcus Hahnemann (USA) and Adlene Guedioura (Algeria) could mark the first time Wolves have represented more than 1 nation in the Tournament. Milijas and Hahnemann are all but guaranteed their spot in the 23 man squads but Guedioura has gate crashed the Algerian squad and will be hoping he avoids being part of the cull when the final 23 are announced.

The last player to play in a World Cup whilst at Wolves was Seol in Germany 2006. Not long after that tournament though he left Wolves for Reading.

Kevin Foley. Bloody good Championship right back. Capable lower-Championship midfielder.

Waste of a shirt wide right.

Yes, he's a 'proper footballer'. He's got a good touch, and good awareness, and good stamina. But fuck me, he's not the right kind of player to play wide right. He's too slow, and hasn't got a trick. His mentality is all wrong for that position. It's a massive indictment that he's been in this role for so long - he completely negates one half of the pitch as a threat, meaning that our genuine threat is nullified more easily.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Kev's fault. It's Mick's for playing him there. The annoying thing is, that knowing Mick, he'll carry on playing him until he makes a mistake - which probably won't happen given that Kev is the definition of 'neat and tidy'.

I'm actually not convinced that this is the right league for Kev as a right back. He's very slow and very weak, and doesn't attack well. I think composure and class will only get you so far as a rightback, and the PL may be a step to far.

I'm also testing the blog bit of the software - not repeating myself!
