Left out of Wolves' 25 man squad, I seem to recall he was pretty effective the year Wolves went up

Very good player. Think he's pretty much broken though.

Cheeky loan signing til January may be a good option however?

Supposedly has a similar problem to Owen Hargreaves so don't hold your breathe.

Given that Spurs have just signed Sandro and assuming the Van der Vaart deal goes through, surely they must have some surplus midfield talent that won't make the 25.

How long is O'Hara out for?

I'd imagine he'll be in the 25 in January though - it's resubmitted then.

Sure he would have been in the Wolves squad if he'd been fit.

Would love him here. Better than Antonio and HRK, and gives a different option on the wing other than the raw pace of Kebe and McAnuff.

If the club were that concerned about having a different option on the wing to raw pace then surely we'd have kept James Henry?

Big Mick has said he can on loan when he's fit. Yes please, but I'm sure he'll go somewhere a lot more competitive.

Spurs don't have a problem with a 25 man squad.

Only Wolves, Bolton and Man City are over the 25 man limit. This is because of the '21ish' rule.

This would be a surprise to me, but it would sure cheer me up quite a bit.

Daily Mail Michael Kightly is wanted by Reading on loan after being left out of Wolves' 25-man Premier League squad.

Reading boss Brian McDermott sees Kightly as the ideal replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who was sold to German club Hoffenheim for £6million on transfer deadline day.

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is keen to send Kightly on loan after nine months out with a knee injury.

Kebe + Kightly = :shock:

Not sure that Brian wants another winger though, seems odd.

Mentioned by Sky too, though Wolves have kept Hunt in the squad and he's not goning to be fit until Oct. Says to me that Kightly's not going to be fit for some time, so why get him in on loan?

Local paper reporting it as well. I really liked him as a player and would love to see him at Reading, but when would he be fit? Do we really want to just nurse him back to full fitness just in time for him to return to Wolves in January? Especially when we've managed to hold on to Jimmy and Jobi.
