Jamie O'Hara - Should we have taken a punt?

[Sluffy]

Wolves have signed Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara in a £5m deal.

The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year contract after enjoying a successful loan spell at Molineux during the second half of last season.

O'Hara scored three goals in 13 games, including one against Blackburn on the final day of the campaign that helped keep Wolves in the Premier League.

errr no.

[DaveBWFC]

No they're welcome to him.

[Weststander]

We don't want anybody who might improve our team.

[DaveBWFC]

I don't think O'Hara would've improved us greatly to be honest. He's a decent player but nothing special. Hopefully Owen has his eyes on someone better.

[Weststander]

From what I've seen he looks an excellent player. We only have Holden who is as good in that centre mid position where we looked so weak for much of the season. Possibly injury prone but he's the right age for a £5m punt if we had the money.

[DaveBWFC]

Maybe him being injury prone put us off. Last thing we need is another injury prone midfielder.

I think he's a good player, Sluffy, just not for £5 million.

Saying that, if we're willing to pay £8 million for Jerome, then, well, he could be worth anything.

We were never in a position to take a punt.

He was on loan at Portsmouth, loved it and wanted to stay, but they couldn't buy him.
He went on loan to Wolves, loved it and stayed.

were not.

[H. Pedersen]

Not worth the £5 million I don't think.  He's not a bad player but he's no better than M. Davies or Holden, who cost £1 million and £nothing respectively.

Remember that you're paying the Harry Redknapp Premium on any Spurs player.  Interpret that how you will.

Interpret that how you will.

He's a rubber-faced bung taker?
