Hopefully permanent, another loan is pointless.

One Metz fan in the comments says "Ce serait super" I think that translates as "That would be great". Let's hope for his sake he still holds that view next April  |

Seriously how do you find this stuff?
Nice bit of research there FM. I don't think many would be too unhappy if this happened. Probably best for all concerned.

I wonder if this does mean we'll be signing a cb then?!

I get that some people don't rate him, and clearly something has broken down with him & LMH, but we have had much worse players come here and leave as 'legends' is some people's eyes. |

Nice enough bloke but for me never good enough for the prem with his lack of pace.Not denying he had some good games either but it's best he moves on for his own footballing career.

I don't think replacing wolly will be a priority. We coped without him last season and can always switch back to a back four if any of our cb's get injured.

I think it was more a case of something breaking down with a couple of players the story I was told and fisticuffs after a disagreement post game. |

Just seems to have a problem with his aggression levels. It'll be non existent most weeks and then suddenly he'll be how I imagine Donald Trump would be if somebody stole his hair piece.
If he could find a happy half way point he'd actually be a decent defender at this level.
Anyway, it wasn't his fault he replaced Huth, so good luck to the bloke. Given I've seen his wage reported as in the 40ks seems a sensible move by us.

I agree but perhaps that depends how much Cameron plays in the midfield? Considering Wolscheid and Muni gone. If we play 3 at the back; BMI---Shawcross---Zouma Then to my mind the realistic backup options are: Pieters---Cameron---Johnson I would rather have someone else instead of Johnson who can also double as a RB in a 4 if needed... Perhaps this Cools lad? So for me it would be a RB/CB player we really need but a cheap big CB as backup wouldnt go a miss either for full depth purposes, though like you say not a priority. |

I'd think we'd definitely need another CB if he does go. |

It's another one of the Hughes signing's that hasn't quite worked out for whatever reason and been shown the door. It happens but the replacements are certainly better with Indi and Zouma both better than Wolly, Jese Rodriguez on paper is better than Joselu and Walters. Imbula probably soon although I really do hope deep down that he has an attitude transplant and wants to play with Shaqiri Jesé Eric-Moting and show his obvious talent.
But with all the new signings It comes down to attitude and how much they want to dig-in and Give everything like All stoke city fans want at the very least.
Come on Stoke

Could be the move he needs, just across the border from his hometown. Metz are the preverbial yo-yo team so you can expect them to take some hammerings this season.
Just looked on their forum they think it will go through this morning, he needs to be registered quickly as they play Monaco at home tomorrow night.

I think we will need to replace if we are as it seems going to go with a back three

Pretty fair player to be honest, just didn’t quite seem to have the speed or aggression that was needed in the PL.

Nedum Onuoha was linked not so long ago...
Maybe this is the catalyst for Onuoha to be our back up option.

Wolly was the classic example of a player who was only as good as his last match. He actually did a lot of good play in some matches but you always think he's about make one of his school boy howler mistakes.

Will always remember that performance against Liverpool in the second leg at Anfield in the league cup. Easily his best for me. Outstanding that night. Good luck to him in the future.

Premier League results with Wollscheid in the team:
P45 W20 D9 L16 (1.5 pts per game)
We've improved our defence on paper and he moves on, that's football. Some of the comments towards him on here however over the last 18 months have been an embarrassment.
Good luck Phil.........
