Wolves have confirmed the signing of striker Adam Le Fondre on a season long loan, with the deal announced on the club's official website.

Le Fondre underwent a medical yesterday, leaving Cardiff City behind after an unsuccessful move to the Welsh capital.

His capture delighted fans of the club, here is a look at how they reacted via Twitter...

Le Fondre is a very good signing for @OfficialWolves. Just need a decent left winger and the season's looking up! #WWFC

Remember when #lufc fans were bragging about signing Wood. Well now we've signed Le Fondre.

Adam Le Fondre finally a signing to excite me about the season #wwfc

To say I'm pleased with the Le Fondre would be an understatement. #wwfc

Buzzing to have Le Fondre on board #wwfc

Brilliant to see we sorted out Le Fondre's loan. Sheyi Ojo next please Wolves! #WWFC

Clarke out
Le Fondre in

I call that good business #wwfc

Dicko,Afobe & Le Fondre as a strike force isn't bad is it #wwfc

In my opinion they've got a great signing for the Championship and not had to buy him.

Guess there wasn't any adverse comments on their board? :roll: good signing for them but one mans cart horse is another's thoroughbred! Usless for us couldn't hit elephant off light bulb at ten feet! :o

Allan, Loved at Reading and Bolton, be interesting how he does at Wolves.

I think so, he is a proven scorer.
It's down to management in my opinion.

I think they will be disappointed by the end of the season. However as he's trying to earn a move there he might actually pull his finger out unlike here where he couldn't hit a barn door.

Will he start there though ?

They had a few good strikers last season.
Has one of the gone ?

Personally I think it was down to not having the right players. Didn't have a player who could put chances on a plate for him.

A bit harsh Neil.

He might not have scored as often as we hoped but you can't knock him for effort. He gave 100% no one can deny that.

Seems like I'm the only one but he never quite ticked all the boxes for me.

The facts are there.
Le Fondre a success at Reading and Bolton.
Failed at Cardiff.

Wolves? Going to be interesting. My opinion,he will do well.

Wolves have a great deal there,not had to buy him,good business by them.

What does it say about our ambitions? Loaning out players to our potential rivals who we should be getting money for? I just hope we are not paying any of his huge salary, are we the new man city just loaning out players just to get them off our books because we paid way too much for them? Wolves will be up there this season but I'm not sure about le fondres ability, has he still got it. There will be pressure there for sure.

Which manager are you blaming Annis? he's failed to score under both last season? Just didn't want to be here in my opinion missed far too many chances

Re: " Wolves Fans React "

Tue Aug 04, 2015 8:24 am

...for such a proven goalscorer for whatever reason he was woeful in front of goal for us last year

His record wasn't very good Ian. Effort may have been there but couldn't score.

Just glad he can't play against us this season

Brilliant signing for the Wolves, just wish we had a player this good signing for us :bluebird:

Re: " Wolves Fans React "

Don't see how you can blame management for him not scoring, he scored most of his goals for Bolton in similar circumstances as he was in with City.

Re: " Wolves Fans React "

He spent too much time diving and getting caught offside with us, oh and he missed a shitload of easy chances for such a high profile goalscorer! :wave:

6 goals in 26 games for us! That's not giving him a chance? Or I suppose Slade played him out position At centre forward? :roll:

Average around 12/ 15 goals a season! Only looking at it quickly dare say some clever clogs will correct it? :laughing6:

He's overrated and missed a number of sitters. We'd have been better off keeping Gestede. I'm surprised Slade gave ALF the number of games he did to be honest.

I'm glad he is gone. :thumbright: :sladein: :ayatollah:

100% Annis - fuming actually !! :sladeout:

IMO he will have another shit year and score a max of 5-6 league goals.

You need to look at the bigger picture and see that he started every game under Slade until we loaned him out in January and was forever offside and diving! He may well have been played in a formation that didn't suit his style of play however, but he still had a shitload of chances and goal scoring chances with us, which he fecked up!

The bigger picture, is under Slade he failed,but not under other managers.

He didn't look good under Ole either.
