Morning all, only JSL leaves as far as I know, some will say he left in the summer so £48M seems a good price to me.
I am not that familiar with the quality of the 2 we have brought in, however in the position we are to get anyone in is a surprise.
Time will tell if they are good signings, I am sure there will be plenty more outgoings in the summer.
What is everyone else’s opinion?
1.) 03 Feb 2026 12:01:41
Banksy
Hard to be critical.
I would have liked more of the dross out - especially if Wolves can get such good prices. This would have helped with the early rehabilitation of the financial position and both prepare for the summer dealings and maybe even allow Wolves to keep some of the better players if possible this summer.
But to get £43m + for Larsen is a really good sale - regardless of what he does at Palace - as he was not much more than a training cone at Wolves .
The 2 boys coming in are very different.
Armstrong is a proven quality Champ player who is simply not enough for the Prem.
He is an ideal short term signing. If Wolves fail next season he should be fairly easy to move on to more ambitious teams albeit it is unlikely that as he moves out of his prime over the next year or so there will be any profit in the sale.
Angel Gomes however is a strange one. A full international only 2 years ago but now struggling to hold a place at Marseille and available for pennies?
He is also willing to come to Wolves where he will almost certainly be playing Champ football next year.
He is either a complete steal and will be brilliant for the club or he is a reclamation project with some risk attached due to his likely high, (Champ level), wage contract.
PS I don't buy the flip argument nor do I believe the parallel argument he is "putting himself in the shop window".
It somewhat incredibly would appear he is resigned to playing in the Champ with Wolves.
2.) 03 Feb 2026 12:10:34
Larsen had his head turned by Newcastle and felt he was better than wolves well we will see. On the incoming players Armstrong proven at the championship level so could well prove a good acquisition, Gomes if he is a shadow of others we have taken with man Utd history (Ince, irwin, Ebanks blake) then we will not be disappointed.
As for Agbadou he may still go as window does not close in Turkey until the 6th
3.) 03 Feb 2026 12:51:56
Transfer window average thought Wolves might have got a couple more in they did try with Che Adams bid rejected. I would try again in the summer window plus reports Wolves tried to sign a right back Rooij got knocked back. Also Forest tried to sign Wolfe for 14mill Wolves knocked that back lot of work to do in the summer fingers crossed straight back up.
4.) 03 Feb 2026 17:20:08
Keeping some of our better players was good considering a lot of people thought they would be gone. Not too much disruption in the team still gives us the slimmest of chances. I think the loans out were a good idea, both to help keep value (Munetsi) and get experience (Lopez). Also nice to see some players with prem experience and homegrown come in.
Surprised more people haven’t said anything regarding that seeing as it was a big gripe. Haven’t heard any guff either, other than Adam’s not getting over the line but that seems to be due to Torino not finding a replacement.
02 Feb 2026 10:01:44
If the signings go through I am surprised, thought it would just be sales at the last minute and then the usual excuses.
Angel, I think is a decent player, not seen that much of him but a good signing I think.
They must be confident that JSL will be sold.
13 Jan 2026 11:39:43
Would be sad to see Joao go, however from his side I would understand, if he is to leave, hopefully it will not be until the summer.
What are people’s thoughts, can we beat Newcastle?
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:47:55
I think we can and we could get a run going the next 4 league games. One game at a time mind. But the aim must be to get within 9 points of Forest before the Forest game
I just want the club to bring two forwards (Pace!), a rwb and a cb.
I would sell Wolfe and Larsen.
I like the idea of McAtee coming in and freeing up space in the squad.
2.) 13 Jan 2026 12:48:07
Yes Newcastles away record is not that good Wolves play the way they have in the last 3-4 games could get a win.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 14:44:24
Agree DMac and Madman time is now for another 3 points and a good run. I am still not giving up hope just yet, would be good for a club to lose points for breaching rules about now. Think all we can do is try and win as many games as possible and see what happens.
Positive results and performances can only help and finish the season on a high for a change even if we are relegated.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 18:58:19
Madman, I agree with you on selling Larsen if we get the right money. This will allow us to buy a striker ready for an assault on the Championship next season as well as adding to the midfield once the inevitable Joao Gomes move happens. If not, we know we've got a decent player who knows how to score. Rob Edwards just needs to work out how to get tge best out if him.
I would keep Wolfe as he isn't on big wages, won't command a big fee and actually looks good going forward.
29 Nov 2025 09:36:20
Seen rumours, tomorrow we are playing with JSL up front in a 541 formation. Back 5 of Wolfe, Toti, Agbadou, Mosquera, Jackson, then Andre, Joao, Krejci, Bellegarde.
What are people’s thoughts on this, if true?
1.) 29 Nov 2025 09:42:48
Following on from above, I hoped I would never see Toti, Mosquera and Agbadou play together again after a few nightmares earlier in season.
2.) 29 Nov 2025 10:09:25
Good, as long as Little Rocket Man (Hwang) isn't playing.
3.) 29 Nov 2025 12:18:17
Bet he is on the bench!
4.) 29 Nov 2025 12:35:59
He be on at some stage.
5.) 29 Nov 2025 13:52:45
He has to play at some stage, part of the contract with Asian market. Be better playing with 10 men. If Rob goes along with that what's the point? Hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Villa are going to give us a hiding .
6.) 29 Nov 2025 14:11:12
I think its pure stupidity to reveal the line up and formation more than 24 hours in advance so the opposition can work on a gameplay to nullify us.
7.) 29 Nov 2025 16:25:40
Why drop our second best cb s.Bueno?
8.) 29 Nov 2025 17:44:58
PLEASE no Bellegarde and DEFINITELY no Hwang even on the bench!
9.) 30 Nov 2025 12:18:29
Well the line ups are out. If I was Emery, my instructions would be simple. Put Toti under pressure as he is the one who will 100% make a mistake and force his fellow defenders out of position.
This will be an easy 4-0 win for Villa.
10.) 30 Nov 2025 12:24:19
No Krejci in the squad but Toti IN and captain?
Krejci isn't injured so what is going on?
07 Nov 2025 15:24:34
Rob Edwards now 1/5, seems likely, don’t think bookies are normally this much out. Refreshing to hear we may have 3 academy players on the bench for Chelsea, long overdue young players actually getting into the team. Everyone will get behind Edwards if it does happen.
1.) 08 Nov 2025 00:36:13
Is he really the best choice?
2.) 08 Nov 2025 08:43:16
To be perfectly honest he may be our only choice.
3.) 08 Nov 2025 10:56:09
A manager that got relegated at Luton sacked at Watford just what we need to keep us in the Prem

Following the draw last night I have to say that you have had a good cup run this year Ed, done well, but time to step aside now in the next round.
The way we have played this season you lot have no chance of progressing any further ?.
Obviously I am not serious, bet you will be supporting Wolves tomorrow night though?
{Ed001's Note - that did make me laugh, good one.
Yes mate, even though we have been terrible and have no chance of winning the league in reality, I am still hoping that Arsenal and Citeh throw away enough points to allow us to close the gap. And, I have to admit, I would be saddened to lose Wolves from the Prem, so I still hope the miracle occurs.}
1.) 17 Feb 2026 11:00:46
I hope the miracle occurs as well Ed, but these days will just settle for a couple more wins. You do well to have to read all our depressing posts, cheers mate.
{Ed001's Note - you keep showing signs of coming to life, still a long way to go, so fingers crossed! Yeah it is so sad to read, especially as it has been such a big decline over such a short period. And it is not like Leicester's, which was highs from cheating either. You earnt your highs.}
2.) 17 Feb 2026 14:57:00
Cheers for your nice comments mate and putting up with us on here, as they say, good to talk ?
{Ed001's Note - let's hope I will be 'putting up' with you all moaning about another Prem season next season, however unlikely! If not, at least you might enjoy a season in the Championship, with more regular victories to savour.}
3.) 17 Feb 2026 16:09:50
Ed001's will this site still be avalable for comments when Wolves are in the championship.
{Ed001's Note - of course. It has been here since before you got promoted.}
4.) 17 Feb 2026 19:14:12
Thank you will still post hope we beat you in the FA cup but yous get CL football next season.
{Ed001's Note - thank you mate. Hard to say with LFC whether you will face last season's champions or this season's Slotball! It could go either way, depending on whether Slot lets them off the leash or not.}
15 Feb 2026 16:48:59
We won, not pretty but I thought we did ok. Great free kick from Joao as well deserved to go in.
Easy game Wednesday I think and a certain 3 points ?
1.) 16 Feb 2026 06:42:47
If we can just let a few cows and maybe a few pigs onto the mol pitch today and tomorrow, and get the fire brigade to empty a few tanks we might just slow Arsenal down come wed Banksy.
Then again we've seen enough rubbish on the pitch already this season.
Seriously it was abit farcical watching yesterday, it was always the pitch dictating the game with slip slides bobbles and puddles, then the wind played its part if you tried to put it in the air, but in many ways it was what the cup is all about.
I'd imagine the clubs hairdressers will be busy washing the Seasalt and mud out of a few barnets this morning. Lol
2.) 16 Feb 2026 08:00:01
Agree. The pitch was a disgrace, no idea why it was allowed to go on, but we adapted,
Went down to their level. And were fitter than they were, awful as a watch., but hope for a decent home tie in tonights draw
With better finishing, could have been 3 or 4
3.) 16 Feb 2026 09:00:30
I think you are on to something Abbey Stan Cullis had the pitch watered before before the Honved game even though it was already soaked and muddy to stop them playing. Thought we dug in and scrapped well and Rob set up the team well plus what a last ditch tackle by Santi brilliant work by him. Just hope for a good draw tonite COYW
4.) 16 Feb 2026 09:01:57
Like your thinking Abbeywolf, hope we do learn a little from how Brentford played against them. They didn’t like the corner tactics, problem is we need to get corners and set pieces. Play how we have sometimes this season and it could be embarrassing. I just want us to avoid getting the lowest points ever now and the season to be done.
5.) 16 Feb 2026 11:46:40
Wheels come off teams runs, and the surprise result occurs. Wed may not be the walk over the people think.
They only beat us at their place by our OGs.
I quite fancy us to shock em, and MajorFrank, if some of that Cullis style prep works for us now let's do it.
Be watching out for the draw tonight, le's hope its A. at home, B. favourable for us to.progress.
6.) 16 Feb 2026 16:51:14
We scored all the goals away to Arsenal! Very unlucky to come away with nothing, as we went head to head with them. They only scored the winner from a corner wrongly given, if I remember correctly. Yup, let's duff the pitch up Stan Cullis style. A quagmire will do nicely. And keep conceded corners down.
7.) 16 Feb 2026 19:37:00
Stick their fans in the Graham Hughes with no ponchos that would be brilliant. On a serious note I have always thought sticking the away fans in the Steve Bull lower tier gives the opposition an advantage as their fans are close to the pitch.
If we do redevelop We should consider creating a section for away fans like we do in the north bank but bigger quadrant in the south bank corner where the screen is and then we have home fans in the lower tier of the hopefully new Steve Bull stand.
13 Feb 2026 15:10:57
I am not sure what the best course of action is with Rob Edwards as manager, surely it should now be based on performances and results. If Fosun have no interest they will just allow everything to deteriorate further, if they do I think we are in real danger of struggling in the Championship.
We have to finish this season in a positive way, we have seen in recent seasons a poor finish gets carried over to the next season.
There is also another problem, who would be crazy enough to become our manager, this is probably why we have Rob now, nobody else was daft enough.
1.) 13 Feb 2026 16:06:15
I think Fosun want to get Wolves out of the Championship at the first opportunity. The problem is I don’t think they have the ability to do it. Mendes got Wolves out of the Championship and into Europe. As soon as Nuno left and Mendes ran out of top players to send to Wolves the downward spiral began.
Wolves are now a monumental mess. Fosun seemingly don’t know how to run a football club. Jeff Shi was a clueless, arrogant man who would have stayed at Wolves for another twenty years and watched them disappear into obscurity.
Fosun definitely no longer want to put their own money into Wolves - hence the dilapidated stadium, amateur Women’s team, training facilities that haven’t been touched for years, and a youth system that could lose its elite status if, in the very near future, Fosun fails to invest. Wolves recruitment is mostly bloody awful. This season it has been catastrophically bad.
Wolves are currently a Premier League club, but it is being mismanaged by amateurs and chancers. It will soon be back in the Championship with more than £200 million of debt and half a squad - the players no one else wants. Whether Rob Edwards is good enough or not is almost immaterial. I don’t think he is good enough to manage Wolves, and he’s the final reminder of the disaster that was Jeff Shi, but the real problem is Fosun.
2.) 13 Feb 2026 18:49:16
NaN Good post, I think your right that at the moment it really is (sadly) somewhat irrelevant who's in the job. Essentially it feels like RE has been hired to simply turn the lights off after the relegation. What happens from there is anyone's guess, but not holding my breathe going off Fosun negligent record! ?
3.) 13 Feb 2026 22:21:03
NameandNumber - excellent post - the latest of several I believe!
After posting about it for the last 5 years - yes if you had the willingness and, without being rude, the intelligence to see it, it has been screamingly obvious what has been happening for several years now - I have pretty much run out of the energy and enthusiasm to keep pointing it out.
However astonishingly you still get Fosun apologists on social media and numerous posters spouting ludicrously optimistic stuff both about prospects on the pitch ( promotion is a given - opinions fair enough! ) and even more ridiculously the clubs finances.
You regularly see posters telling us that Wolves will be able to blow everyone out of the water as the richest club in the championship but as you identify it will, unless Fosun decide to invest a hundred million or so, have crippling debts and additionally a totally out of control cost base way in excess of even the most optimistic estimates of income.
Clearly, given that as a result of this appallingly weak financial situation Wolves have/will sell most of the first team squad - or at least the decent ones - it is hard to say how Wolves will perform next season. It will though require a better transfer window than Wolves have seen in most of the windows over the last 5 years just to stabilise the club in the Championship let alone push for promotion. Sadly even after the three sales this January it will also have to be done with a negative net spend of well over £50m!
Consequently I am far from certain how so many posters come to this view!
4.) 14 Feb 2026 08:33:07
Thank you, BullysBoy II and thefutureisoldgold3. I appreciate your kind comments.
I have in the past tried to be positive about Fosun and where Wolves is headed as a club. Sadly I now feel that there is very little to be positive about. Fosun is just not very good at running a football club. They spout nonsense about sustainability and how Wolves must operate within their means, when in truth what they actually mean is Fosun will no longer put their money into the club and they will saddle the club with massive debts.
My biggest fear now - a fear shared by many Wolves fans - is if Fosun don’t wake up very quickly, Wolves will end up in the same **** state as Leicester.
5.) 14 Feb 2026 10:44:25
Well Future, Newcastle are the richest club in the PL, but that's not everything, they are barely in the top half of the table. Won't help Wolves being the richest club in the championship either as you point out.
We will need a lot of things to come together, not just money, if we are to get promoted again and to avoid becoming the richest club in League One again.
6.) 14 Feb 2026 11:18:32
The sad part of course Deep is that whilst some posters seemingly believe it Wolves will not be anywhere near the richest club in the Championship.
The definition of "rich" is surely that not only you don't have massive debts but you actually have money to spend!
7.) 14 Feb 2026 13:10:07
I still do wonder why we are the last and only club still owned by a Chinese company and an ‘investment’ one at that!?
Why have they not cut their losses and sold us on?
What’s the reason?
8.) 14 Feb 2026 15:11:05
There are articles from December 2025 which say people are offering to buy Wolves from Fosun but they are not selling.
Not sure how far the talks went and if the amount of money to be exchanged was brought up or just a general inquiry.
9.) 14 Feb 2026 15:50:45
The sad thing BosWolf is that Fosun should have seen the writing on the wall, and sold us when the Chinese government pulled the plug on further investment. Ironically Fosun could have made a great profit at that time as we had just been promoted to the PL when China started restricting capital outflows.
Fosun paid about £30mil for us with a further £10mil dependent upon promotion. Peanuts! Sure, they signed a few gems such as Jota and Neves etc in the championship, but would have secured handsome profits on these players if the club had been sold then. Why didn't they sell? I don't know.
10.) 15 Feb 2026 06:24:02
We havnt got ant 'secret' rooms under the mol have we Deep throat? Seriously the political situations at the moment, and ecomical times may well have a bearing on our ownership and willingness that we meagre fans may never know.
12 Feb 2026 08:29:45
Only listened to some of the game last night, how bad was it, didn’t sound good, don’t get it, thought our starting line up was decent, what is going on?
1.) 12 Feb 2026 09:27:54
They just couldn't be asked and showed no idea as to what they were doing Banksy.
Sa made some great saves, Tolu put a great ball to Mane in the final minute, but he shot straight at the GK when he should have scored, would have been a disgrace to have won but Forest wasted so so many chances. We really should have been thrashed.
2.) 12 Feb 2026 09:30:48
We clearly missed Hwang…
3.) 12 Feb 2026 09:47:21
Shockingly poor to be blunt Bansky, to be honest I'm not sure it's even about the selection or formation anymore (ironically:). They just don't look like they actually have a clue what the plan is? One minute they are passing out from the back, next min punting it long.
Then we try/fail to have width followed by five mins of being stupidly narrow?! Edwards is a decent guy but he's still learning his trade and the complete shift in formations game to game sadly proves that! He clearly still doesn't know how he wants us to play and that's a problem because frankly by now we should be starting to settle into an idea/system! ?
4.) 12 Feb 2026 13:17:32
By now we should be seeing some sort of system and tactics to our game but in the past few weeks I've seen absolutely nothing that convinces me that RE is our answer. He is totally out of his depth. Playing angel gomes is not working as he is so unfit and Armstrong might be ok in the championship but it's hit and miss. Arokadore ( unsure spelling) is bigger than that creature from the terminator yet goes down when slightly touched. I think we all knew that larson could score goals but a mixture of didn't want to be here and no support made it a no win situation and of course he'll score against us in a few week's time.
I am at a loss on where we go from here and my heart says straight back up but my head says RE will not take us back up and there's a strong possibility we spend a long time in the championship or possibly worse and go down again. Cut me and I'll bleed gold and black blood and the above is only my opinion but it's been a long time since I've felt really worried about what's in store for us under this shower of owners. Vp now possibly going to forest but I think nuno will keep west ham up. look at what you could have won folk's. Always wolves but it's aging me now. waw
11 Feb 2026 15:12:25
Everyone seems to be getting carried away with Hwang. Although I don’t agree with cheering when he is substituted or injured, I am sorry but from what I have seen he has been one of our poorest players in recent times. Don’t get me wrong, and it is pretty obvious, none of our players have been particularly good this season.
Worst players in my opinion this season have been Hwang, Toti, Agbadou and probably Munetsi.
Like others have said the inclusion of Mane has resulted on a whole in improved performances.
Anyhow let us hope for a good performance and result tonight ??
1.) 11 Feb 2026 15:46:03
The only players who can say they've done well/Ok are Hugo Bueno, Santi, Joao and Mane. Everyone else has tried but just not been good enough.
2.) 11 Feb 2026 15:48:05
I'd add Larsen to that list of worst this season mate.
3.) 11 Feb 2026 16:56:02
He left in the summer Rated ?
Yes he also been awful
4.) 11 Feb 2026 16:56:40
Goodwhileitlasted1, I’m glad someone can see that Tolu tries his best but is not good enough for the Premier League. He might come good after a full pre season, but I doubt it. I would love to see Sasa Kalajdzic play for Wolves in the Championship because his hold up/link up play IS genuinely excellent.
5.) 11 Feb 2026 16:59:01
Goodwhileitlasted you got the best idea, a lot shorter list of players who have been any good.
6.) 11 Feb 2026 18:54:04
No one on here is getting away with Hwang. It’s not about Hwang, it’s about him being singled out and blamed for Wolves’ predicament. Wolves are gash; they are deservedly bottom of the PL. As someone on BBCs HYS said “Wolves are stinking out the Premier League.” Fans targeting Hwang in the way they are is cowardly.
14 Feb 2026 20:49:24
I agree DMac ?
14 Feb 2026 17:21:24
If we were a normal well run club I think he would be better to stay with us, think he needs a rest now to be honest.
15 Jan 2026 17:58:43
Bit surprised but good news.
13 Jan 2026 14:44:24
Agree DMac and Madman time is now for another 3 points and a good run. I am still not giving up hope just yet, would be good for a club to lose points for breaching rules about now. Think all we can do is try and win as many games as possible and see what happens.
Positive results and performances can only help and finish the season on a high for a change even if we are relegated.
09 Jan 2026 16:32:27
City just keep spending, no problem for them. Hope Mane stays, play a lot more for us than any of the top clubs.
Would imagine that there will be some changes to our team tomorrow.
17 Feb 2026 14:57:00

Thanks for the summary of last nights performance, well lack off. As others have said, where do we go from here?
I thought both Rob and the players had shown a brief upturn in performances a few weeks ago, back to the normal rubbish now.
We are poor I realise, however last nights team, in my opinion, are better than that shown.
What is this down too, is it just Rob?
As even Rob said last night it is important to finish the season on a high, doesn’t look likely, unfortunately. Will they make a change and remove Rob if performances and results continue? A nightmare these days being a Wolves supporter.
11 Feb 2026 16:59:01
