So what do the Mackem fans think of Carlos Edwards?
Well, just as us fans were licking our wounds from Tuesday night and cojotating in our minds who was going to fill the wing voids at Molineux (Gray, D Edwards, Keogh, Ward..?) - Mick moves at warpspeed to bag Carlos Edwards on loan from the Black Cats. So is he any good?
Looks like a good move by Mick. One Mackem fan described this as the "last chance saloon" for Edwards, but there's no doubt the player has skill and pace and needs a new challenge to bring back fitness and confidence after some savage injuries.
He was a class act in the final months of Sunderland's promotion season, and it's no disgrace that he's on the fringes at the Stadium of Light after the arrival of the great Steed Malbranque.
A new signing always gets me scrambling onto message boards to get the views of fans where the player has just come from.
So what do the Mackem fans think of Carlos Edwards? Here's a selection from blackcatchat.net
"Good move for all concerned. Let him get his confidence back playing regularly" (theexile)
"They get someone who's proven at the level they're playing at. We get him match fit and regular games" (Enfield Exile)I
"He needs games but I don't think he'll end up being good enough unless McCarthy can remind him that he needs to at least try to run past people and make space for himself."
(flavonoids)
"I reckon he will play well and they might buy him. At this point in his career I'd let him go and cash in on him given the chance. Shame like as I always thought he would do
well in the Prem. Time will tell I guess if he gets some games and comes back refreshed." (Giddup Sausage)
"Good club for him to go to. They're scoring for fun, if he doesn't find his form and confidence there he never will." (icanbelieveitsnotspavin)
"Hopefully he can go out get a few games and get his confidence back and maybe in three months we will have the old Carlos back on our books!" - (MrT1980)
"Think a move to Wolves will do Edwards good. Not sure he's up to Prem standard but hopefully he'll do well down there. " (Mackem Madness)

Think the injury has played on his mind, thinks he's gonna get injured again. Good player tho good luck with the wolves.
I think Carlos is a good signing for us. Let's hope he can find the form which helped Sunderland to the Championship title.
I am pleased Mick acted quickly and has bagged us a proven winger to step in for the next few weeks while kites and Jarvis are on the recovery table.
The Swansea game is our biggest match of the season and will prove if we do have the credentials to be Championship contenders this season after our heavy defeat on Tuesday night. Let's bounce back from the defeat and get our title wheels back on track!
