Jorgen Strand Larsen’s agent Tore Pedersen has said at present he’d put “money on Strand Larsen being a Wolves player” past Monday’s deadline.
I guess the other teams must have seen him play and decided he isn't very good.

Might be a negotiating tactic.might not be!
2.) 01 Feb 2026 14:00:50
He’s of lost his money then ? just accepted a 43 million pound plus 5 million in add ons
3.) 01 Feb 2026 14:16:19
Express and Star reporting Wolves have accepted an offer from Crystal Palace for JSL, £43m + £5m in add-ons.
Based on this season, we got the better deal and I don't think we'd get more than that in the summer.
Just hope the money goes back into the team before August.

Current rumours regarding our January incomings:
Kalvin Phillips (Man City)
Terem Moffi (Nice)
Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro)
Adama Traore (Fulham)
Looks like the club are looking to cash in on JSL and either Andre or Gomes in readiness for relegation.
1.) 22 Dec 2025 22:05:37
Mr Blobby, The Flash and Merlin are also available.
Oh and if we can find a goalie called Jesus that would be great as I see signs everywhere that proclaims ‘Jesus Saves’!
2.) 22 Dec 2025 22:31:41
Well I’m sure we’ll be able to take our pick of players in January. There’s bound to be loads queuing up to sign for us. Talk about a buyers market. Yes we definitely hold all the cards when it comes to signing players this window.
Can’t wait. ?
3.) 22 Dec 2025 20:32:00
They'll be bringing these guys in during the January window.?
BBC article
4.) 23 Dec 2025 03:20:33
Don't want Adama nowhere near us, he couldn't wait to go before.
5.) 23 Dec 2025 04:53:24
Made me smile Arddunby ?

Realistcally Wolves MUST sell their most valuable players in January or risk their values dropping once relegation is confirmed and that is getting closer with every game.
Bring in bench warmers or squad players to see the season out until the Summer when serious signings can be made with the money obtained.
That will mean Joao Gomes, Andre, Larsen and Arias being sold and Krejci released, who is only on loan, to save his salary.
The others who are left will have to carry on until the Summer when a clearout is possible with just probably Doherty, Arokodare, Mane, Hoever etc left plus a number of newcomers arriving at Molineux.
Who, from where and if having any British experience will be down to the transfer team who surely must get it right this time?
7.) 23 Dec 2025 09:15:04
Some good points OAP …the only slight concern is…
‘Bring in bench warmers or squad players to see the season out until the Summer’
I’d still like to think we’d could just about beat Derby’s record. It’s looking less and less likely but setting a new record which will probably NEVER be beaten and maybe going a whole season without a single win…going down in history as the worst premier team ever…well that’s going to hurt. ?
8.) 23 Dec 2025 15:51:49
3G wolf, it could be a global record for tier1 sides!
20 Dec 2025 18:27:53
I was speaking with some fans as I was leaving Molineux today. They had heard a rumour that Guo has personally intervened and removed Jeff from his post. The reason being that he could see that his disastrous tenure is almost certainly going to see us relegated. Guo has allegedly approached a number of high profile people with experience of running football clubs but none of them were prepared to work with Jeff.
They also said Daniel Levy had been approached to take over as Executive Chairman and Dan Ashworth as Sporting Managing Director. Both turned down the offers but may reconsider now that Shi has gone but are not that keen to lower themselves to a Championship club which is what we soon will be.
Guo has taken the decision to remove Shi as he had basically turned the club into a laughing stock.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 19:51:46
Utter and complete garbage
2.) 20 Dec 2025 21:34:58
Dan Ashworth would be a good idea. It would be good to see players develop through the academy and set up similar scout networks to Brighton and Newcastle. The West Midlands and Shropshire must be rife with quality young players.
Levy very similar to Shi very astute financially but is known for not attracting and not paying the going rate for certain quality players.
The question is do you roll the dice and allow a good manager (not Edwards) to rebuild the squad for the second half of the season.
The season is written off so what is the clubs plan?
I'm not sure what the right path is to be honest.
I think it's difficult to say plan for the Championship as Edwards could be sacked if they keep losing. 6 games is a lot of games to be fair and the squad he has is better than Luton IMO. I can't see much difference than Vitor. I'd keep Edwards as a youth coach.
I'd like a manager that is well drilled and has a way of keeping clean sheets.
Then in the January window I would sign some quality at RWB, lwb and two forwards with pace.
Happily sell Larsen, Arias, Andre, Jackson and Wolfe to fund those players.
LWB-Pubill (loan), FW-Jota at Celtic, RWB-Thiago Santos from Lille, CB-Bright Area Mbi from Braga, CM-Mainoo (loan) for Andre.
Oscar Minguisa would be a good option to cover CB and LWB with AFCON
Also not sure on the midfielders but maybe Neves is an option.
I think the club will struggle to sign two forwards so players that have to fight for a WC spot may be the best option.
Also if we plan for the championship Dendoncker and Traore for 2nd half of the season on loan wouldn't be a bad options with their experience.
There is a mixture of different players that would be positive for staying in the prem under a different manager and the championship and developing for next season we also have Doyle out on loan which could be an option for the championship.
But what is the plan have the players and club given up?
And what is Fosun's plan I think w may find out more this week.
I can't see them writing off half a season with a gap (although big at 13 points) as we have to face all the teams around us.
But can they sign the quality and pace on the wings and forwards to put up a fight.
ODCL
3.) 20 Dec 2025 21:37:15
Any respectable company (or CEO) would have been on the case before now. Shameful, irresponsible and unprofessional.
Says it all!
4.) 20 Dec 2025 21:47:09
What an absolute crock of ?
5.) 20 Dec 2025 22:38:10
I think we lose to both Liverpool and United and then, if West Ham beat us on 3rd Jan, Rob Edwards is gone.
6.) 21 Dec 2025 10:32:51
No chance of us signing quality Madman. Quality goes elsewhere. Loan is the only chance of getting decent players in but they will only be peripheral players for their current teams meaning they won't be quality even if they are better than we've got.
Also they'll be out of match practice and of course there are loan limits (2 from other English clubs). Basically, we're way up that well known creek without a paddle or even a canoe!
7.) 21 Dec 2025 12:00:29
Agreed Old Wulf. But I don't think the players and coach should be rolling over each week.
Stage one keep a clean sheet so we can build on that.
We lost yesterday as we let a ball bounce (good ball on the replay BTW) and then didn't head that ball clear.
We can't let that happen every game attack the f**king ball as a defender.
Edwards got the subs wrong yesterday we took our width off when Hoever (agreed not good enough) but he was trying to get forward and play crosses in.
After West Ham game 3rd Jan there is 17 games left that's 51 points up for grabs.
The squad isn't as far of picking up results as we think. We need some balance and experience at wing back and some pace and courage in the forwards.
35 points may be enough to stay up.
So what is Fosun's plan.
I agree with the not attracting quality depends who they move out and what the project is short to medium term.
I would roll the dice as I think 3 quality players either loans or signings nd we start picking up points.
But I also don't think Edwards is the man to get us into a shape to keep clean sheets and build on that in the short term.
8.) 21 Dec 2025 14:44:12
Pity we can't get Dan Ashworth at the moment we are run by amateurs. Can't believe they train or are coached together, no discipline and shocking work rate. Right from the start the plan was to park the bus and soak up pressure.
We were at home for goodness sake and try to sit on a goalless draw, madness. No doubt RE is a nice books it this lot need a kick up the backside. Could have done with Dyche to shake them up sadly too late now.
9.) 21 Dec 2025 15:50:11
Probably is complete garbage but at the moment nothing surrounding WWFC would surprise me.
I suspect Old Wolf is correct, the loan market will probably be the way to go in the January window.
13 Dec 2025 12:57:28
I was talking to a workmate of mine who works in the world of marketing for some major brands but is also a bit of a conspiracy theorist.
We were talking Wolves and he mentioned that Adidas were the ones who decided to walk away from the shirt deal as they didn't want to be associated with Jeff Shi's vision for the club. This is also the reason Castore also walked away after 2 years.
Now that Wolves are plummeting into the Championship, he said Fosun are not happy and looking for answers.
I hope this is true and Fosun get rid of Shi.
1.) 13 Dec 2025 17:59:40
We all know about the concept of 'face' in Chinese culture. The loss of face by Fosun will be enormous, with the almost inevitable relegation ahead. Jeff might have to fall on his sword, or be pushed. It's not just Fosun. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the great wave of Chinese investment in football a decade or so ago in the UK and Europe has been a failure.
Sadly, relegation will only prolong Fosun's ownership of Wolves, whereas they might be tempted to sell if we by some miracle stayed up. They must know they're out of their depth by now.

I see that them lot down the road have sacked their manager after 9 games as he was proving to be useless.
But Fosun continue to back Edwards whose stats are worse.
1.) 25 Feb 2026 07:06:01
RE, like it or not, wasn't brought in to save us from relegation this season, unlike the Tesco bags recruitment. He's been recruited to try & get us promoted next season, to rebuild a squad after what remains after we lose our better assets. I don't think it would matter who we had as manager; we don't have enough quality to compete at this level.
2.) 25 Feb 2026 08:45:42
So, I'm assuming you'd prefer us to be run like West Brom GWL, good to know what some fans hope for.
3.) 25 Feb 2026 10:07:37
Mick McCarthy or Dave Jones did not have enough quality to compete in the Prem, but they both gave it a better crack than RE is currently delivering. Do we honestly think this current crop is worse than the hand Mick was dealt? No chance. Mick would have given a right arm for a midfield like Andre and Gomes. I understand and agree that RE has been dealt a poor hand to play; however, one win all season is simply not good enough. It's all well and good saying he's been bought in for next year, but good performances, like poor performances, become habitual, and anyone watching our current showings must see that it is not suddenly going to click with us miraculously starting to win the moment we arrive in the Champ.?! At this stage I'd give him till the end of the season, as it's not worth the cost of replacing him when we are already down.
That does not, and absolutely should not, mean though that he's untouchable. If we don't win another game before the end of the season, personally I think his position becomes a little untenable. It's fine to say we never expected to stay up; it's not OK to say we never expected to see us fight, because right now I'm only seeing that for, at best, 45 mins a game. It doesn't help that he is consistently getting the starting lineup/system wrong, and we only improve after changes, because you don't get away with that in any league, I'm afraid, gents. ?
4.) 25 Feb 2026 11:19:14
If it means sacking a manager who is completely out of his depth, then, yes, I would prefer Fosun to do what the Baggies have done and get rid. We've had 1 win since RE came in, and there has been no clear change in style of play.
5.) 25 Feb 2026 12:45:12
Just to reiterate. Rob Edwards has had 17 League games in charge of Wolves and has picked up 8 points. This equates to 0.47 points per game or 17.86 points over the entire season. Yes, I know the squad is poor and weak, but earlier in the season, Everton, Leeds, Burnley, Palace and Forest all came to Molineux and played us off the park. You would expect that, under a new manager with his fresh ideas, we could do to them at their place what they did to us at our place.
Did we? No. Granted, we haven't played Burnley and Leeds away yet, but we have played Everton, Palace and Forest. We drew with Everton thanks in part to a sending off. Forest was a boring draw, and we handed Palace the win. The other question is, did Fosun really decide that, with 81 points still to play for this season, to give up and prepare for next season? If they did, then that really is a sad indictment of just how far our club has fallen and the ambition of Fosun.
6.) 25 Feb 2026 12:51:30
Do any of you out there believe that Rob Edwards is going to get us back at the first attempt? Other Championship clubs are not going to shake in their boots and shout, "Rob Edwards and Wolves are coming." He is not the new Messiah.
You know what happens to them when things start going wrong. Personally, I think he was a poor appointment in the first place.
7.) 25 Feb 2026 14:20:48
I think we were already down before RE was appointed, because of how long VP was given at the start of the season. However, every game should be a cup final. It might not produce enough points, but at least there should be a few wins.
Next season will not be easy at all, whoever is manager, but I'm not convinced it should be RE. I also don't know who would want the job, who is the steady pair of hands needed.
8.) 25 Feb 2026 14:27:33
For what it's worth, I always thought Rob Edwards was a typical Jeff Shi budget appointment, which would achieve nothing more than cementing our relegation, and so it will transpire at this rate.
Do I believe that even with the right players he will achieve promotion? No, I don't. As long as Fosun maintain their current approach to owning a football club, when we go down we'll stay down.
9.) 25 Feb 2026 14:33:55
AcleWolf, already down before RE was appointed? Surely you are not serious. There were 27 games and 81 points to play for. But if Fosun, and indeed RE, thought that, then, frankly, they deserve everything they get, and we, poor fans, will be the ones to suffer.
10.) 26 Feb 2026 11:21:34
Yes, Good, I'm serious. And, you make a good point about the amount of games and points left - I don't disagree with you there at all. It's the fans that suffer, but also the staff who may need to be made redundant at the end of the season, and who aren't millionaire footballers. Losing to Burnley was the big moment for me. This was followed by keeping VP a bit longer, and then by going for GoN to come back. We were down as soon as that happened, because it seemed the owners had given up hope at that point.
It's all ifs, buts and maybes, but had we brought in more top flight experience in the summer, not given VP the stupid contract extension, got rid a couple of weeks earlier, and found a manager with the steadiness to keep us in touching distance in January, there may have been a chance. The problem with a relegation fight is this: every week that goes by without a win, the more wins in a row you need to stay up, and there comes a point, quite quickly, when it isn't realistic.
22 Feb 2026 16:26:57
Fosun have already sold the family silver.
In the summer, they'll sell the fixtures and fittings too and spout some tripe to us fans in the hope that we're gullible enough to buy into their bull.
Sa, Hugo, Santi, Wolfe, Krejci, Andre, Mane, Joao and Jackson will all leave for about £175m.
They won't invest. They'll say, Johnstone, Doc, Lima, Djiga, Toti, Rodrigo, Munetsi, Bellegarde, Tolu, Armstrong, Sasa and Hwang are a good base. Add to this the returning Doyle and Traore, all we need is minimal investment and players like Chirewa, Fraser, Pond and Chiwome to step up.
Mark my words. Fosun will demand that Edwards works with what he's already got and any profit will not be reinvested into either the playing squad or the stadium.
1.) 22 Feb 2026 16:51:36
I think Wolves will try to make a real effort next season. However, for it to work, many players have to go. There are too many bad players at the club. Years of selling and bringing in cheap replacements have been a disaster. There are players at Wolves I wouldn't even want in the Championship. The club should already be in the process of rebuilding the team, as relegation is a certainty and Wolves get themselves ahead of the teams who are still fighting for survival.
If Fosun don't show ambition and prepare a decent team who can get promotion from the Championship, they should be prepared for 13, 000 gates and constant protests.
2.) 22 Feb 2026 17:01:34
They won't back Rob Edwards. It will be a case of 'work with what you've got'. That's what they told Lage, Lopetegui and Gary O'Neil, so why would they change their ways now?
3.) 22 Feb 2026 16:59:46
bull for one Doc is out of contract god some people talk some rubbish on this site. If i'm proved wrong i will apoligise but don't think so wolves will sell but will buy to get back in the PL.
4.) 22 Feb 2026 17:48:12
Oh, so Doc is definitely going, and there is no chance of him staying?
5.) 22 Feb 2026 18:06:29
He's going to be 34, he's out of contract, yes, he's leaving imo.
6.) 22 Feb 2026 18:27:00
OK. So its in your opinion.
In my opinion, he'll sign a new contract as it'll be on reduced terms and he has experience.
And also in my opinion, Fosun will not spend massive amounts for the reasons I've already said. Or is this still 'bull' and am I talking 'rubbish' as you posted earlier?
7.) 22 Feb 2026 22:55:15
Hope they don't re-sign him, to be honest. He's well past his best and too slow for even the Champ. I'd sooner we give Pedro Lima a chance, to be honest. I think the actual version will be between the two. I think Wolves will sell and intend to reinvest in Champ-ready players (eg Armstrong). However, there are two problems with that.
Firstly, by the time you get back to the Prem, you just have a Champ-standard squad, which is a very real issue. Secondly, as we've all seen before, Fosun's take-on flipping players and reinvesting hasn't worked for over five years. Get the next transfer window wrong and we might not get back up for a decade! No pressure, then. ? ?
22 Feb 2026 16:11:13
Well Tolu and Krejci, that defeat lies firmly at your door. Oh well I guess you help right the wrongs next season won't you? No you won't. You'll both leave as you think you're better than you actually are.
Tolu is proving to be nothing but a useless lump.
22 Feb 2026 16:00:07
Just heard a commentator say that Wolves were unlucky again today.
No we weren't.
Tolu took a weak ass penalty and Krejci got himself needlessly sent off.
We got exactly what we deserved. f all.
Lets not try and dress this up any other way. We were useless yet again.
1.) 22 Feb 2026 16:31:25
The guy who we sold for 5 million, and let that paltry figure sink in. Well, he's scoring, and has never missed one in the Premier League. Discipline, organisation, tactics are all well below what's expected. That Tolu geezer is bigger than that alien that Arnie fought, and gets knocked over. I've played against better than him on Sunday mornings.
22 Feb 2026 14:45:11
What an awful penalty by Tolu.

Future, I seem to recall one of the Eds mentioned a few weeks ago that nearly all footballers' contracts include a relegation/wage reduction clause.
{Ed001's Note - it is very common.}
27 Feb 2026 06:03:45
The club will get about £65m for them. I wonder who'll they buy to replace them? My guess is no one, as we'll have Doyle, Munetsi and Traore back.
17 Feb 2026 09:47:47
I hope he decides to stay. He's still a young man and will have plenty of time to get the big money move.
The vultures will circle around our players though.
Sa, Santi, Jackson, Wolfe, Andre, Bellegarde and Joao will all go for about £100m. Doyle, Traore and Munetsi, Rodrigo and Lopez should prove to be a good combination to chose from in the Championship.
We won't need many players to make us the favourites next season but we do need quality.
I would suggest Harwood Bellis and Bazunu as defender and GK
04 Feb 2026 18:38:34
Not saying we shouldn't sell if the price is right but he has finally started to look decent. Of course he'll move on as he's one of the more saleable assets.
Future. Angel Gomes earns £80k and Arias £65k per week so Gomes is more expensive, plus we only have an option to buy as opposed to an obligation to.
Sa, Jackson, Agbadou, Andre, Krejci and Joao will all move on but somehow Fosun will try and spend minimal funds on replacements and tell all and sundry that the squad will only need minor tweaks.
On paper, the remaining players should be too good for the Championship but we all know that the reality is very different. I mean a team of: Johnstone, Doc, Toti, Santi, Mosquera, Hugo, Traore, Angel, Rodrigo, Tolu and Mane plus Bellegarde, Sasa, Armstrong, Fer Lopez and Munetsi isn't a bad foundation but I fear Fosun just aren't interested anymore.
04 Feb 2026 16:02:25
100% Agree with you De Wolf. If players don't want to be here, get rid of them.
I think over the summer I think we'll see Agbadou (if he isn't sold sooner to Turkey) Jose Sa and Andre all pushing for a move. But I'd rather have Toti (who I don't rate), Munetsi, Boubacar Traore and Sasa back as at least they want to be here.
Goodwhileitlasted1's banter replies
12 Mar 2026 05:21:52
KHWolf, it was an obligation to buy if Blues got promoted.
10 Mar 2026 22:33:22
Wolfthistle, I base my statement on seeing him play for Wolves. I admit that I haven't seen him play for Birmingham, but my mate is a season ticket holder at St Andrews and says that Doyle usually runs the midfield. He's also played 32 of the 36 league games, so he is pretty much a starter.
Paul Ince never got many goals or assists, but was awesome for us. Doyle, although not on the same level as Ince, can easily slot into our midfield and dictate the game. The more explosive, attack-minded players will play in front of him.
10 Mar 2026 15:15:45
Injuries haven't helped, but on his debut he looked good, and on Friday he was not so good. You can see he likes to pass quickly, but at this point, he isn't quite good enough. He and Doyle in the Championship would be a good combination.
06 Mar 2026 22:13:24
True. Mane has to play in the number 10 role, as he simply hasn't got the pace to play out wide. He and Tolu were poor tonight.
03 Mar 2026 22:39:13
Proper end to end football tonight. To the neutral, it wasn't the best, but both teams looked to attack at any given opportunity, which made for a brilliant game.
