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.
22 Dec 2025 19:43:40
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 ?
6.) 23 Dec 2025 07:20:55
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.

Peixoto has been confirmed as Manager.
I like what he's said about how he intends to set up the team.
Like it or not, he's the guy steering the ship so let's all get behind him.
08 Jun 2026 20:16:07
I've got a feeling that Jhon Arias is going to be one of the standout stars of the upcoming World Cup.
I don't think he was given a fair crack of the whip whilst at Molineux.
1.) 08 Jun 2026 20:56:30
He was given more than a fair crack of the whip and couldn't wait to leave.
2.) 08 Jun 2026 21:31:12
I think VP and Edwards stifled his impact by playing such negative, defensive football. He was so good during the World Club World Cup and his performances had got up a gear since returning to Brazil.
I would have preferred him to Angel Gomes.
3.) 08 Jun 2026 21:50:39
I always thought he was a good player, but most of his work went unnoticed. He got a similar fan reaction as Armstrong is getting now. Shame he wanted out, not much can be done about that.
4.) 09 Jun 2026 07:52:18
The Club World Cup was just a friendly summer competition, as shown by the fact that Chelsea won it! Having said that, some players will exceed themselves over the next few weeks and get big moves that turn out to be flops. It's happened many times before.
5.) 09 Jun 2026 09:26:12
Jhon Arias was absolute gash for Wolves. The only decent game I can remember him having was against Shrewsbury!
03 Jun 2026 15:06:15
The average Shirt Sponsorship deal for a Championship team is worth approx £2.5m to £5m.
Wolves new deal with Midnite is worth £1.5m.
1.) 03 Jun 2026 15:23:49
Is it a short term deal? Might be one year only.
2.) 03 Jun 2026 16:03:42
It is only a 1 year deal, but still below the average.
3.) 03 Jun 2026 16:41:04
What's your source? Best I could find says the average is between 0.5 - 2.5mil. So it sounds about right to me. You also need to consider the value is affected by the size of the fan base, etc., so, unlike what some think, we aren't the biggest club in the Champ. Or maybe our fans are a bit tighter with their cash, so less value for the sponsors.
It just seems like more criticism for the sake of it than any actual truth that we aren't getting the best deals we can.
My only gripe is that it's with another gambling company, not necessarily because they are preying on the weak-willed, more just because there are so many and it's all a bit boring. Although I suppose Midnite is aesthetically better than Debet, or W88 etc.
4.) 03 Jun 2026 17:11:00
I thought Midnite was a computer game. Hopefully, the one-year deal says that Wolves are getting promoted at the first time of asking.
Promotion will bring a three-year £300 million sponsorship deal with Starlink.
5.) 03 Jun 2026 17:19:49
Could be, Ice. I thought it was the one with the weird adverts of people with veins pulsing in their heads.
6.) 03 Jun 2026 17:48:00
I read it online earlier.
The article has been altered since I read it earlier, but I've cut and pasted what I could find:
Following Wolves' recent relegation from the Premier League, their commercial leverage for a front-of-shirt sponsor naturally adjusted to Championship market rates.
The Step Down: For context, Wolves' previous Premier League front-of-shirt deal with Debet (signed in 2024) was worth just under £10 million per year.
Championship front-of-shirt sponsorships for clubs pushing for promotion typically command between £1.5 million and £4 million per year, depending on bonus structures for securing promotion back to the top flight.
7.) 03 Jun 2026 23:38:06
Thanks Gwil, I wonder if we have a bonus structure to make it more? And, it makes more sense, being clubs pushing for promotion, that can achieve higher value. The values I posted were for all Champ sides, so bringing the average down a fair bit.
I guess we are still at the low end of clubs aiming for promotion, of course, who knows if that will actually be the case.
8.) 04 Jun 2026 00:05:38
Sponsorship means sweet FA if you've got no team. Let's see what happens on the playing side under Edwards. I've always loved my Wolves, but I really don't hold much hope with Edwards in charge. Hope I'm wrong, but doubt it...
17 May 2026 18:11:59
I know some are going to slate me for this but I'm gonna write it anyway as this is what I feel having seen today's performance.
Yes, I admit that it was a better display, well until we scored anyway.
After that, Fulham dominated the game but for once, our defence held firm thanks in no part to the experience of Krejci and Santi. Had Toti have been on the pitch, we would have lost but the one thing I noticed (and the reason why some will slaters me) is Hwang's performance.
Yes, he got the assist and nearly got a 2nd but other than that, he offered nothing. Now I sit in the North Bank so saw Wolves attacking that goal.
In the first half. Mane, Rodrigo and Armstrong were all getting at the Fulham defence and trying to create some space which could be attacked. Hwang, on the other hand, didn't. Just before he got the assist, he had the ball, misplaced it and then fell over. It was thanks to the fall that he happened to be in the right area when the ball returned off a deflection for him to pass it to Mane who scored.
Hwang casually walks into the area whenever Wolves were attacking.
In the 2nd half, Fulham brought on Raul. From the get go, he was winning or at least challenging for everything and then sprinting into the box to offer an outlet.
1.) 17 May 2026 19:14:38
Hwang hasn't been good enough for years. Ran and Cunha briefly made him look half decent. Wolves have only been playing him for commercial reasons. That's not Hwang's fault.
I hope he finds a new club and does well. I don't agree with Wolves fans cheering when he's substituted.
16 May 2026 12:54:55
Keep:
Doc, Santi, Hugo, Djiga, Wolfe, Lima, Rodrigo, Krejci, Mane, Armstrong, Enso, Doyle.
Sell:
Sa, Johnstone, Bentley, Toti, Yerson, Jackson, Joao, Andre, Bellegarde, Hwang, Tolu, Traore, Munetsi, Sasa, Lopez.
Release: Hoever.
Buy: Bazunu, Lascalles, Brazkho, Manhoef, Dan Neil, Che Adams, Nicolas Raskin, Simms.
1.) 16 May 2026 14:53:25
Not seen any Rangers games then? Good. If you think Toti and Mosquera are liabilities, you'll have a treat watching Djiga. Different level.
2.) 16 May 2026 15:08:27
Yes, Djiga might not be that good, but he surely cannot be as bad as those two.
3.) 16 May 2026 15:48:19
Nasser Djiga is dreadful. Truly dreadful. The Rangers fans considered him worse than Fabio Silva.
4.) 16 May 2026 15:49:50
He's terrible. ?
5.) 16 May 2026 16:50:00
As I said, he may not be that good, but a couple of things we need to take into account.
1: We already own him.
2: He played 42 times for Rangers, so has experience at a decent level, probably the same as the Championship.
3: He averages over 90% pass completion.
4: His positional sense is better than Toti.
5: We haven't seen him play for Wolves, and neither has Rob, so we cannot really judge him.
6: He can't be any worse than Toti.
7: We know what Toti brings to the team, and it isn't very much.
6.) 16 May 2026 18:42:45
You make a good argument, Good. At the end of the day he's only 23, which for a centre half is nothing. He's a pup. The only issue with covering Toti is, I think, Djiga prefers to play on the right.
As for Toti, he'll probably be decent in the Championship, but he's a disaster in the Premier League. Plenty of Championship players will still have him on toast.
7.) 16 May 2026 21:08:47
I wouldn't keep Doc, Armstrong, Lima, Djiga.
Either.
8.) 17 May 2026 07:30:03
The Scottish Premiership is nowhere near Championship level, and only the top 2/3 clubs would even survive in that league. Just look at the makeup of the individual squads. Many League 1 / lower Championship players have had successful careers up north, and Hearts, with a squad of journeymen, have just come so close.
Goodwhileitlasted1's rumour replies
16 Jun 2026 17:13:32
That's what most people think, but FosunProject2ndGen seems to think that Cardoso is a current Famalicao player, not an agent.
16 Jun 2026 15:30:49
Are you sure? There doesn't seem to be a Cardoso listed on Famalicao's official squad list. There is a Rodrigo Pinheiro who is represented by Valdir Cardoso that Wolves have been linked with and happens to be a Right Back.
16 Jun 2026 06:10:12
Isn't Valdir Cardosa a retired 42 year old left back? Why would he be a good option and music to your ears?
15 Jun 2026 16:01:34
Are people still talking about this Trippier deal? Even he's come out and said it's fake.
15 Jun 2026 06:59:56
Is it a 'strange' signing?
Don't the club sign youngsters from other clubs, or bring them through the youth system.
Was it 'strange', as you put it, when Mateus Mane was signed from Rochdale as a 15 year old?
Goodwhileitlasted1's banter replies
15 Jun 2026 20:33:06
Just reading loads of different articles about Peixoto.
He likes to play high-pressing, attacking football. He likes his teams to close down the opposition quickly, and he is willing to change tactics mid-game. He is also a bit of a disciplinarian and will command respect and effort from the players.
14 Jun 2026 17:26:30
Rumours are that Edwards knew at least 2 weeks ago that he was going to be replaced and he was asked to remain silent until the new man had signed.
A bit like when we all thought Lopetegui suddenly walked out but it transpired that he had given the club plenty of notice and Gary O'Neil was courted weeks earlier.
Also, it appears that Trippier, although excited by Edwards, was fully aware that he was unlikely to be the manager when the season started.
I wonder what all pundits think now that the narrative has changed. I mean, they all backed Trippier to do something that he was never likely to do.
13 Jun 2026 12:56:23
I get the 'if only this or that' argument, but the facts are that Wolves under Rob Edwards were bloody awful, and he'd lost the fans. But, fair play, Tim Spiers. If Wolves had played attacking football and won 20 more points, and not been relegated, we wouldn't be in the position we're in now.
12 Jun 2026 16:52:10
The rumour yesterday was that Watling and Trollope had been sacked alongside Edwards, and Rui Silva had opted to leave of his own volition.
12 Jun 2026 08:31:45
Apparently, Fosun made Edwards aware that he was not going to be leading Wolves into the new season a few weeks ago, and have been trying to secure Peixoto for the last month.
