An article in the e&s today stating that jackett has refused to take seb on as he wants to draw a line under the past and look to the future.
I've got two problems with that.
1) Seb did not contribute to our downfall and was arguably one of our best players last season, if he hadn't of got injured we might have even stayed up, coupled with the fact that if we took him even for the remainder of the season he's almost guaranteed to get us promoted with the goals he'd scored in this league.
2) we've still got edwards, foley, elokobi, stearman, sako, siggy and doyle. All of which were here last season and played as big a part as seb in our relegation.
Personally I'd take seb on a contract til the end of the season
SEB

I dont think he is a bad player Bute, one of my favourite Wolves players of recent times.
But we have good young players eager to get games and we are at the level where they should get an opportunity to make an impact rather than going backwards.

The main priority is promotion though Cinci. II'm all for bringing through youth players but if the options are cassidy or seb for the next few months give me ssb anyday. Cassidy can go out on loan and develop and have another chance next season

We don't know if SEB will be ready or not, it is likely he will take time to get bak into his stride.
Meanwhile we have McAlinden who we loaned out with the intention of getting him game time, followed by Keita and Eusebio who may be as effective as SEB at this point as well.
Where would SEB fit in as well, not sure him and Griffo would work so we would have to take out our proven goal threat to accomodate him or have him warming the bench.

SEB himself is a proven goal threat. They don't come much better.

Ah well, hope he goes on to prove me wrong elsewhere but as i have said before, i think his best years are behind him.

That's fine cinci... As long as we don't end up with Craig Davies
I don't mind giving the kids a chance but I'd be disappointed if we turned down a known goal machine without a long term future with us... To bring in a average journeyman with no future with us.

Davies doesn't excite me either
Though i have a feeling we may well see him.

I f he does go to a Premiership club, I think Ipswich will suit him. I'm sure he'll be useful in any side that's looking to mount a promotion challenge, but as he's familiar with the management staff, I'd imagine he'd settle in faster.

Quite possible Mick will chance his arm, other managers will show more caution and would want a trial first to assess his fitness.
Not sure what prem club you think would come calling Bute?!?!

My bad, Cinci. I meant Champo club, hence the reference to promotion. Can't understand how that happened.
