Second chance for Halford
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy admits Greg Halford has staved off the threat of being sold after shining in pre-season training.[LNB] McCarthy revealed last month that he had told Halford his days at Molineux could be numbered if he failed to make an impression in the build-up to the new campaign.[LNB]But the £2m signing from Sunderland has succeeded in winning over the former Republic of Ireland boss.[LNB]McCarthy said: "Let's give Greg a bit of credit. He's trained well in pre-season.[LNB]"Why would I even question that someone of his ability shouldn't be at the club?[LNB]"He's got lots to offer. Now he's done it for us and, fair play to him, he's had a good pre-season.[LNB]"Since he came back at the start of the summer, he has shown a desire to stay and I can't ask for anymore than that."[LNB]Meanwhile, McCarthy revealed he has received no approaches from clubs interested in taking young striker Sam Vokes out on loan.[LNB]Wales international Vokes had a loan spell at Leeds last season and has been linked with a temporary move to Crystal Palace in the coming campaign.[LNB]McCarthy said: "No one has spoken to me about it and, until anyone does, he won't be going anywhere."
