Wolves sign Ronald Zubar!

By: Toby | July 4th, 2009

Once again, for an undisclosed fee defender Ronald Zubar has joined from Marseille on a four year deal. A former French U21 International, Zubar rather fell out of love with the Marseille fans after a penalty miss in the French version of the FA Cup? I think. Regardless, he’s perfomed well for them in the past and I can remember a game against Liverpool where he had a very good game, so at least he’s got some idea as to what he’s let himself in for.

Does this spell the end of the Mancienne dream? I think it’s getting very close to the door being closed on that one for this season as that’ll mean we’ve got Zubar, Berra and Stearman…who knows, maybe Mancienne might sneak in to give Mick a happy defensive headache for the coming season, but I’m sad to say I think the dream might be fading.

Right then, the squad flew to Australia this morning, they took this squad.

FULL SQUAD

Wayne Hennessey

George Elokobi

David Edwards

Richard Stearman

Jody Craddock

Michael Kightly

Karl Henry

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake

Andy Keogh

Stephen Ward

David Jones

Christophe Berra

Matt Jarvis

Sam Vokes

Chris Iwelumo

Matt Hill

George Friend

Carl Ikeme

Kevin Foley

Marcus Hahnemann

Kevin Doyle

Andrew Surman

Greg Halford

Nenad Milijas

So all the new signings, bar Zubar make the trip, a noticable absence of Neil Collins too, thus perhaps signalling the end of his Wolves tenure?

    He was somewhat inconsistent when he first started out with us a couple of years ago, but has since shown he is very versatile, as he stepped in in many situations within our injury-depleted backline last year. Like you said he’s very physical and not at all bad in the air, which will come in handy in the Premier League. Hope he does well for you.

    I think the end of the dream for Mannciene coming to Wolves will be if Terry goes to Man City.

    Our squad now is shaping up very nicely indeed.

    And hopefully for the sanity of World football…that won’t happen.

    I never thought we had a chance of getting Mancienne to be honest, but hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

    Toby, I’m interested in talking with you about something. Can you email me at tom at thomasbaughmedia . com

    Cheers

    Toby – Hope you’re having a great summer back home in the UK. Have recently left to previous employer to start own business and got given the new Premiership shirt with my name on the back. Nice people the Danes! Anyway, I take it you’ve seen the “Zubar highlights” on You Tube. He’ll score 4 next season but give away 14. Help! Cheers and keep up the good work. Rob

    Ah to be fair Rob I could make a video of Cristiano Ronaldo, made up entirely of his step overs that he messes up or when he blazes his free kicks 20 foot over. Those videos were made after the guy missed the penalty which lost them the Cup…remember the villification of Gareth Southgate?

    Not to say he’s a French Southgate…but you know what I mean? A video tells you what the person who made it tells you.
