Is Trippier confirmed?
Think he takes set pieces as well, realise he getting on a bit, however I think it is a good deal.
Doesn’t mean I am convinced with Rob’s management or that Nathan is going to be the saviour but a good start I think. Happy for an early signing as well, we need many more though, a striker or 3 would be good.
1.) 30 May 2026 14:42:56
Yes, it's confirmed. Keen and Fabrizo have both confirmed it.
2.) 30 May 2026 15:00:25
No, it's not confirmed until he passes a medical. Nothing on Wolves official site.
3.) 30 May 2026 15:55:52
It's confirmed we've made an offer to him.
4.) 30 May 2026 17:30:53
The deal is done in principle, but cannot be completed until 1st July, when Trippier's Newcastle contract expires, unless Newcastle releases him early.
5.) 31 May 2026 10:59:11
I'm sure it will all happen when he returns from his holiday.
6.) 31 May 2026 19:45:50
It's odd it's been leaked before the club confirm it.
Is that the club's decision to attract other players, or by the agents to try and get a better deal?
Still early days in the summer, and it is good to hear experience is being targeted early on.
But why aren't we targeting pace up front?
Free agents that would be useful for this.
Harry Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin.
Also I think it will be interesting what Edwards does. Do we stick with a back 3 or move to a back 4?
Arguably the two Buenos should stay, but the rest of the defence isn't good enough.
I like the idea of Andre staying. I think Doyle and Devine would be shrewd players to have in midfield. But Kante from Middlesbrough would be smart as well. Having 4 midfielders allows flexibility with formation. You need to be able to play 2 or a 3. One reason we got relegated so pathetically was the opposition just pressed Andre and Joao.
Also we have forwards, but there seems to be no plan yet on what we are doing. So we may have Raul (who isn't quick), then Armstrong who is a solid Championship striker.
We need pace. It's a defender's worst nightmare.
7.) 01 Jun 2026 15:24:25
Agree we need pace going forward. Harry Wilson is never joining us though. He will have aims of joining a top-half Prem side. I imagine Villa might go in for him.
8.) 01 Jun 2026 17:44:46
Maybe...
I think fans forget that PSR is hard on all clubs these days.
As a homegrown player, they set higher salaries, as they are worth more to clubs in the UK.
Wilson, Elliott, McAtee, Tyrique George sound mad, but maybe one would be the catalyst to get promoted.
And, for any young player, the lessons are out there. Elliott and McAtee haven't loved their moves to Villa and Forest respectively.
9.) 02 Jun 2026 19:24:26
That's true. However, Wilson is 29 and was class last season. I do think we should go for more homegrown players, though.
03 Feb 2026 10:18:37
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?

Happy with the 3 points, not the best performance but I did think overall we were the better side, just.
I agree with others, not sure how Munetsi starts ahead of James. R. Gomes good first half but think he was injured and taken off.
Mane kept trying but overall not the best and likewise Armstrong.
Hope new players with returning ones can help us improve, worried now as well as Toti back on and gave the ball away dangerously not long after coming on.
Sa gets pushed over too easily and is always looking for a foul, just a matter of time before this costs us a goal.
Apart from all that we doing well. ?
08 Sep 2026 13:55:42
Until the stupid own goal and poor 2nd half v Bham, I thought our football, at least going forward, was much better this year compared to under Rob.
Think we have to allow CP a little time, Andre with James rather than Munetsi has to happen ASAP.
Do we have anyone that can replace Jackson? I get the feeling he will start again at the weekend regardless.
1.) 08 Sep 2026 16:59:01
It's better than that, Banksy.
Ignore the daft defending as that'll soon stop.
Look at Krejci's celebration when he scored against the Blues. Look at Lopez's celebration. That's a team that is 1) together and 2) is aware of how good it is.
It simply needs Jimenez 100% fit and Trippier at RB.
This isn't the beer talking, because I don't drink.
Once that Wolves team clicks - so long as key players stay fit - most teams in the Championship will be swept aside with ease.
People are going mad, but the reality is Wolves are five games in and key players have either been injured, unavailable, or unfit.
It'll soon be nothing but: "You've seen the Wolves, now f*** off home."
2.) 08 Sep 2026 19:19:30
Hope you correct The Lovely Train. I like your optimism. ??
07 Sep 2026 12:16:07
Think we have to give CP some time, overall we have been a better watch than last season’s rubbish.
Fix defence. Realise probably more tricky than it sounds, but with Trippier, Krejci, Digija and Bueno looks much better. Unfortunately Trippier not available. Anyone know how long he is out?
1.) 07 Sep 2026 13:06:30
Agreed, but why are we playing JT? He's purely an athlete not a footballer. His decision making is dreadful & he can't cross a decent ball into the box.
Surely there's better options in this position, RG or PL. At least they know how to cross a decent ball for Raul.
06 Sep 2026 17:33:13
443 may not be a bad shout at least for some games. Andre, James and either Munetsi or Traore. Front 3 of Lopez, Raul and Mane or Gomes.
Still think swapping James for Munetsi would be beneficial, however with calamity defending will struggle to win enough games.
Away games against tougher teams start with 433, as others have said to have more control, easy enough to change if required.
Wonder what CP had to say at HT to Sa and Jackson.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 17:55:20
443, you playing with no goalie as doubt we'd get away with 12 players on pitch. ?
2.) 06 Sep 2026 17:57:51
To Jackson, your shite should be dropped next match. To Sa, either improve with your ability to talk to defenders, because at the moment it doesn't look like it, or you're dropped. Simple as, no drama. Nowt. Sa goes in a huff, sell Jan window.
3.) 06 Sep 2026 18:49:40
Well spotted Flea, worth a try. ?
06 Sep 2026 15:31:25
At the start I was happy to see Krejci return in place of Toti. Thought first half we were ok going forward and Blues scored a good goal. Then the own goal, shambles from both Sa and Jackson in my opinion.
After that, think out attackers sort of thought what is the point. We score but with our defence and errors like that, we need to score 3 each and every game, have to feel sorry for Lopez and R. Gomes. In saying this, I thought we were playing with 10 as didn’t see Armstrong.
I thought Sa may get his head down now but not confident with his display today. Small Blues player in front of him and Sa is diving all over the shop.
Munetsi same as ever, running about with no impact.
Positive start to season over now. James has to start for Munetsi next game and Mane back although didn’t think he did a lot when he was introduced.
Some saying top 8, can’t see it myself, hope CP can work some magic. ?
1.) 06 Sep 2026 16:22:56
Banksy why play Armstrong at all offers nothing.I agree James should star but i've said before play james with Andre and Munetsi. It would give Wolves more control of midfield which in my opinion Wolves are lacking.
Play either Rodrigo or Mane on the wing and Jimenez up top. James can swit ch to the wing or Lima if when CP decides to drop the DICK Jackson.
29 Aug 2026 17:21:19
I don't mind at all. Traore staying, I think he is decent, just a problem keeping him fit.
If it is true that Krejci is going to West Ham, that doesn't make sense to me. I guess they are offering more money.
I think he would be better to stay, work hard, and prove his ability with us.
Replace Toti with Krejci (with his head on right). Defence looks better to me.
26 May 2026 16:02:05
I was going to ask about Doc as well, 47Vintage, presume he has fallen out with Rob or other way round.
Thought he may have been useful in the Championship as well.
Seems they have not changed in their treatment of players when they decide they no longer want them.
13 Mar 2026 16:50:39
I like R. Gomes and think he is one we should definitely try and keep. Still not sure what his best position is, though. Joao, I guess, will go, unfortunately.
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.
08 Sep 2026 19:19:30
Hope you correct The Lovely Train. I like your optimism. ??
06 Sep 2026 18:49:40
Well spotted Flea, worth a try. ?
27 Aug 2026 16:59:05
Stoke, I agree, will be a tough game.
Don't think any of us will trust Fosun for a long time. Let us see what happens between now and the end of the transfer window. I really hope for no silly sales.
25 Aug 2026 08:57:03
Excellent S&L.
18 Aug 2026 17:45:23
Seems so, BoSWolf, surely it's not for shirt sales in Portugal. ?? ?
