Think with his injury record and the fact that his club has just been relegated, he would certainly drop his wage demand. I would imagine he would still want 20k+ tho!
Money would mean he's not an option anyway, but I read (admittedly on Twitter) that along with Roger Johnson, O'Hara was one of the reasons why there was a divide in the Wolves dressing room. Doesn't seem like one Powell would be interested in anyway.

Or we offer to take him on loan and pay a fraction of his wages. Wolves might be keen to move him on regardless.
Has he? His aunt told me last week he'd trained with Millwall but was holding out as he was hoping Charlton came in for him. Might be wrong though. Will try and find out tomorrow.
Got quite a good source at Millwall, said he'd signed. Might be a chance he was wrong though

What do we think of O'Hara? Couple of years back he would have been a great signing, injuries haven't helped and nor has Wolves downfall but there is still a decent player there if managed correctly
This is the same O'Hara who mugged off the Wolves fans when they dared to tell him that a player on 40k a week taking a team down twice in two years isn't good enough. I'm not a big fan of giving the players stick but with the dross they've served up this season he shouldn't be giving it back. Don't fancy a player like him at our team. Smacks too much of the Pardew years, buying a reputation instead of a player who'll bleed for the shirt

GM .. you have hit the O'Hara nail right on the head .. a big head who somehow a lot of people rate but has done absolutely nothing so far to justify all the publicity .. he talks a good game .. in a word .. no thanks (that's 2 words)
From the match report vs Brighton... "Jamie O'Hara, constantly reminded by the Wolves supporters of his reputed £40,000 a week wages and booed by his own fans every time he touched the ball, has surely played his last game for the club. The former Spurs midfielder gestured in return and, when his team-mates shuffled awkwardly over to applaud the fans at the end of the game which sealed their relegation to League 1, marched down the tunnel without a backward glance"
For me, signing O'Hara would be like signing a vastly more expensive version of Stephens. O'Hara is a more dynamic player but is another one who is generally a bit mediocre apart from the odd flash of talent.
Regardless of his footballing ability, he simply does not seem like a 'Powell' player with his personality, commitment etc, let alone his ridiculous wages. Anyone in any doubt of Wolves' fans view of him take a look at this thread... http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=81201
Are these the same wolves fans that people were consistently slating and calling scummy only a couple of weeks ago?
Agree that O'Hara isn't a CP type player but lets not take wolves fans views as concrete evidence of what he's done there. I'm sure there are a lot of players that have let the fans down more with shite performances but O'Hara is the easiest to stick it on because he's earning PL wages.
From what I've seen of him, he's a talent. He was playing well in the Prem not too long ago and peope were confused as to why he wasn't still at Spurs. A couple of bad injurys have affected him but with a club that's on the up rather than down he could be a useful addiction.
Can't see him in a charlton shirt tho, due to money and he's not a CP type signing.
07 May 2013 18:32:32 Ipswich have confirmed that they have released keeper aaron lee barrett, midfielder andy drury and winger lee martin, whilst striker michael chopra has been made available for transfer as has Jay Emmanuel Thomas.
Lee martin is would appear likely to sign for his former club charlton, or a lower league/up and coming club such as bournemouth, doncaster or barnsley.
07 May 2013 16:22:37 Charlton athletic set to make a bid for Spurs, Masimo luongo after he impressed at Swindon town. Also rumoured is the permanent arrivals of both John Obika and Mark Gower. BWP has also attracted interest from newly promoted Gillingham and Coventry City.
07 May 2013 16:58:39 Charlton transfer window not looking as busy as first hoped.
Players to be released are as follows:
Matt Taylor BWP Scott Wagstaff Salim Kerkar John Sullivan Yado Mambo Jordan Cook
Therefore players to be signed are: CB - Alex Pearce (free) - Reading RW - James Henry (350k) - 'Wall CM - Liam Trotter (350k) - 'Wall LW - Simon Davies (free) - Fulham ST - Nicky Maynard (Loan) - Cardiff
--- There's no chance of Nicky Maynard going out on loan. He has just come back fron a long term cruciate injury and is an exciting option. Malky has stated that he is central to his plans
--- Trotter is going to Brighton if they get promoted
05 May 2013 18:04:16 Championship Rumours Kevin Doyle - Celtic Dwight Gayle - Leicester Stephen Gleeson - Bournemouth Jordan Rhodes - West Ham Chris Solly - West Ham Lee Tomlin - Millwall
07 May 2013 20:19:28 Middlesbroughs first piece of business this summer will be simion Jackson and chris solly in. They will also aim to have their zemamma + haroun + 200k for albert adomah rapped up before the 1st of july
Any idea what budget SCP will have, if any? If it's a case of clear some wage bill and sell Solly to raise funds to build, it would be a shame. Would rather we let go of a few and gamble in the free and loan market personally. Defence looked composed in most of the last 8 games and there's something to build upon there.

Couldn't see any threads about on here though.
Can't say but reliable
No thanks.
100% not what we're looking for imo.
