Wolves swoop for Carlos Edwards.
By: expressandstar.com

Wolves have agreed a deal to sign Sunderland winger Carlos Edwards on a three-month loan. The 29-year-old was due at Compton today to complete the transfer today to train with his new-mates in readiness for Saturday’s trip to Swansea.

Molineux boss Mick McCarthy acted quickly after losing wingers Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis to capture Edwards, whose only action this season has been against Liverpool in the Premier League and in the Carling Cup against Northampton.

Jarvis is out for two months with a torn hamstring, while Kightly’s absence will be considerably less as he has a strained hamstring. Edwards, who is predominantly right-sided and quick, will be seen as a key signing to cover the absence of either.

Signed by Roy Keane for £1.4m from Luton in January 2007, he was an important player for the Black Cats during their promotion season of 2006-07, playing 15 games in the second half of the campaign as they swept to the title.

But his Premier League experience has so far been a frustrating one. Having missed the first half of last season with a hamstring injury, he then broke his leg against Derby in December and was sidelined again.

But he is completely fit again now and will see the chance with Wolves to prove himself. This season he has been kept out by Steed Malbranque and occasionally El Hadji Diouf, but is certainly a dangerous performer at Championship level.

Capped 61 times by Trinidad and Tobago, he played in the last World Cup in Germany. He came to Britain in 2000 when he signed for Wrexham along with Hector Sam and Dennis Lawrence, costing £125,000. Edwards has also been linked with a loan switch to Sheffield Wednesday.

Ok, Carlos, now, no excuses. You just signed with the team leading the championship, and they knocking a good brand. Show them and Keane what you're made of.

Good move...this is his level

I have a question for those who have seen Carlos played recently.

Will Carlos be able to perform in the championship?  I somehow feel that people think that just because he is going down a level, that he will automatically start to blow past defenders.

Carlos looked good in the Championship because he had all the makings of a premiership player.  He seemed to have missed the beat since he has come back from injury.  This has nothing to do with what is his level because an in form carlos edwards can make a premiership Sunderland 18 man squad easily.

So no matter where he plays, he still wont be the same Carlos.  This was proven due to the fact that he played in the Carling Cup against a League One side and could not distinguish himself!!

So forumites, brace allyuh self for a long ride, but once he gets back in the groove and play the way we know he can play, he will be back in the premiership not before long.

ah love it!!

Carlos, I know you goin and rip it up for the Wolves
 

[Small Magician aka Wazza]

Very good move.... Wolves are on top and playing well... i just glad he didnt go a shit side in the championship...well a shittier side lol

[Tenorsaw]

Good move.  It's early yet, but they seem to be the team to beat in the Championship, or at least be part of the playoffs.  He needs to play and regain confidence.

He struggle so much against League One Northampton that he get subbed at half time and boof by Roy. All who feel he guaranteed to excel in de Championship, I hope yuh right but...

[NUFF]

I think right now Carlos' problem is a mental one.  He showed flashes of his old self in de last qualifier against the US.  I think once he start's playing on a regular basis again he will regain his confidence.

I agree its mostly mental..we all know Carlos can play way better than what he is showcasing right now..

[spideybuff]

I just surprised that Mick McArthy and Roy Keane actually did a deal with each other. I wonder if it involved a phone conversation somewhere along the line or if Keane just told Mike Berry to organise it: "we don't need Carlos, find somewhere for him to go until he is ready to be a premiership player...i don't care where, as long as its not here"

[Filho]

Hopefully this results in more playing time. Not sure if dropping a level automatically means he will play better. The man in a mental funk. Is not like he trying to do certain things in the EPL and they not coming off but might come off in the Championship.

Hopefully the Wolves coaching staff can help him get his confidence back.

I think for those he believe this is his level...well it may be now, but I don't think that is the case prior to his injuries.

You just have to recall his last play before his injury woes...rip up two men, deadly cross on Stern head, Stern rock the cross bar. Carlos mash up from the tackle..never come back from that. At that point he was starting to look like an EPL player after an injury plagued pre-season. And even though it was just one play I citing.I haven't even seen him attempt to play with that level of confidence since.

Come on Carlos. Handle it with Wolves.

go T&T!

Hope it takes his mind of his injury and onto playing again. 

Good move for him as Wolves are playing well so a chance to get some form and confidence back, I hope it works out.

No they would of spoke, Keane is the only one that has say on players.  It will be water under the bridge to both of them by now I would of thought.

Read an interview where Keane said he and McArthy are cool. They've spoken and cleared up their differences since WC 2002. I think Keane had a really big public falling out with Niall Quinn too, and look where he is now

The Wolves fans are excited no ass: http://www.the-wolf.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=33932

I really really hope this move works out for Carlos.

[Weh-it-is]

Can't let a 1979 Rolls Royce sit fuh to long. Good luck Carlos…don’t let the memories of those injuries hinder you Bro. 

[mal jeux]

well stella went JA to get she groove back, let's see if Carlos "vauxhall" Edwards can get his back with wolves.

hopefully some regular playing time will see him back to his old self.


Good luck CE.

Good move...this is his level

If you had said that last year about him and Stern men woulda rip your head off. Funny the difference a year makes.

In fact when he went Sunderland men was vex because because it was a Chamionship side and he was good enoughtfor the premiership.

Edwards hoping for fresh start
wolves.premiumtv.co.uk

Carlos Edwards is delighted to have been able to join such an "ambitious club" as he aims to get his career back on track with Wolves.

The Sunderland winger has arrived on a three-month loan and is hoping for regular first team football having found himself on the fringes with the Premier League side thanks to their summer strengthening.

Carlos, 30 later this month, checked in at Compton this morning and will be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Swansea.

"I'd heard there were a few clubs enquiring about me but Wolves were the one that really appealed," said Carlos.

"That wasn't just because they are top of the table but also because Mick McCarthy is such a good manager that a lot of players would want to play for.

"Wolves are an ambitious club and this might be a chance for me to get my career back on track.

"I've probably got a lot to prove not only this season but because of last season.

"I had a rollercoaster season in my first Premier League season with a fractured leg and a hamstring injury.

"That's all behind me now and I'm looking forward to a new challenge.

"I'm now here with a new opportunity and am hoping to grab it with both hands."

Carlos made an immediate impact when joining Sunderland in January of last year, playing a major part in helping the club into the Premier League.

Whilst disappointed with the way events have gone since reaching the top flight, the Trinidad & Tobago international is happy to have a fresh start.

"I enjoyed myself in this division before," he added.

"I only wish I could have kept that form going into my first year in the Premier League but it wasn't to be with the freak injuries that I had.

"But that's all in the past, I don't want to dwell on it anymore.

I'm going forward now, I'm here on a three-month loan deal and hopefully things are going to be better.

"I'm going to give my all for Wolves in the time that I'm here and that starts from Saturday if I'm involved."


Only in today's guardian it have an article about how hard he intends to work and regain his spot

ah love it!!
