Che Adams on loan may be happening according to John Percy. Apparently, talks are in progress.

LongmyndWolf

1.) 31 Aug 2023 18:29:33
Hope John Percy ain’t right. That’s all we need for a team that can’t score….A forward who can’t score


2.) 31 Aug 2023 18:50:44
He can score.got 3 already


3.) 31 Aug 2023 19:28:33
Oh give over ATM he knows where the net is.


4.) 31 Aug 2023 19:28:52
In the championship, and The Saints have bought another forward, if CA is that good why get another forward?


5.) 31 Aug 2023 20:01:48
Because he wants premier league footy Debs.


6.) 31 Aug 2023 20:21:12
Adams is a good player. He'll score at least 10 goals this season.


7.) 31 Aug 2023 20:46:17
Because he wanted to stay in prem Debbie and Saints wanted to reward him for having been loyal previously by not standing in his way. Player and club doing right for each other for a change.


8.) 31 Aug 2023 21:50:59
Some Wolves fans "we need a striker desperately." striker comes in "oh why are we getting him for" talk about fickle.


9.) 01 Sep 2023 02:57:38
The problem is Rated that for some reason when most peeps talk about a striker these days, what they really mean is 20 goals for the club! What no one seems to realise is that unless you are a top four club or very lucky (e.g. us with pre-injury Raul or Brentford with Toney) then those kind of strikers just don't exist! Jas is correct (as usual:) in this squad Adams would probs get 8-15 goals and just as importantly play a hand in 5-10 more goals! That's the way you HAVE to look at strikers in the bottom half of the Prem, if they can play a hand in 15-25 goals a season then they are good value! I said I wanted Iheanacho but Phil (previously:) talked me round to Che as a like for like alternative (and probs cheaper and younger). He also has the added benefit of being local, which means he won't want to be elsewhere unlike most of Mendes signings! We seem to be taking a more practical approach to recruitment. Hobbs and GON have taken us away from the 'best' (pantomime:) horse of Mendes stable and seem to be looking at the sqaud more holistically. Hobbs mentioned Bueno being left footed and that we now have a good balance of cbs (2xLf and 2x Rf). And for me Adams is similar, not prolific but brings attributes to the squad that are missing from the front line (speed, cutting in from the wing, poaching). If we are interested in Harrison I suspect it'll be the same, as in he'll replace attributes the midfield will now lack without Nunes (which I suspect is mostly ball carrying).
I suppose what I am saying (in a fairly round about way:) is that it's nice to FINALLY feel like our recruitment has some purpose again! C'mon Hobbs give us a transfer deadline day to remember! COYW??


10.) 01 Sep 2023 09:30:14
Correct BB outside a Kane, Sterling or Salah 15 is a good haul for a top flight striker, 19 is an every other game goal scorer.


11.) 01 Sep 2023 09:55:02
I welcome Che Adams he's great striker.he will help others up front all I got to say O'Neill's barmy army .so glad he's here he's a great manager who deserves a chance.


12.) 01 Sep 2023 10:51:14
Because they wanted Kane, Rated. More often than not the same fans are unable to come up with a realistic viable alternative but still moan.

According to Football fantasy Wolves have made an approach for Nathan Redmond, probably on a free I would think.

Plus, having just seen the new away strip it got me thinking, have Wolves ever used red before? I quite like it.

LongmyndWolf

1.) 22 Jun 2023 11:26:39
Seems a weird choice to me afterall apart from Luton Town, the only potential (mild) clashes are against teams that play in red.


2.) 22 Jun 2023 13:04:37
Redmond wants 2m pa aka 40k per week or perhaps 1k per hour. When you look at it and think my pension is 15mins of that. Am I jealous? Actually no I'm not but I do despair of values in society these days. I suppose it's no different with CEO's of public companies (though they don't have a squad of twenty five) I don't see anyone worth those salaries!

That gentleman in a nutshell is why despite loving the new away shirt there is not a hope in hell that I would ever buy one!


3.) 22 Jun 2023 13:06:23
Is it coincidence that it's Portugal's national team colour?


4.) 22 Jun 2023 13:32:00
Didn’t the club originally play in Red and White stripes?


5.) 22 Jun 2023 14:46:48
It's more Spain phil, a nod to JL perhaps?


6.) 22 Jun 2023 15:51:02
Ah I'm colour blind Portugal and Spain I can't tell the difference look same to me.
But yes Abbey a nod to JL perhaps.


7.) 22 Jun 2023 15:51:19
Your quite right HalfTimePie, as someone whose recently been around the Wolves Museum I should have remembered that. ?

It probably is a nod to Iberia but it makes a nice change to the usual colours used so for me, not bad.


8.) 22 Jun 2023 16:41:28
Perhaps we are hoping to get the refs on our side wearing red.

And yes we did wear red and whites stripes, changing from blue and white stripes in the 1800's.probably because we looked kak in blue and white.


9.) 22 Jun 2023 19:51:58
It's a nod to Sarabia.


10.) 22 Jun 2023 20:15:11
Reading more on the design the pattern supposedly represent 'iberian architechture' and the red is to make our iberian players more at home on their travels.!?


11.) 23 Jun 2023 09:24:55
Last ditch attempt to get traore to stay?


 

 

15 May 2023 20:42:22
According to Goodison News 'Injury Expert' that two Wolves players will be out of this weekends Wolves side, apparently Chiquinho and Kalajdzic. I must say that's come as a real shock!

Secondly, apparently The Boy Hotspur and Football Insider are both claiming that Spurs are plotting a move for Lopetegui and Matt Hobbs. I suppose we should be used to this sort of thing by now.

LongmyndWolf

1.) 15 May 2023 22:45:43
Well Longmynd, those normally astute chappies,the bookmakers, know nothing about it because currently Lopetegui doesn't feature anywhere in the betting market.
Current favourite is Arne Slot (Feyenoord)followed by Rogers, Allonso and Frank.


2.) 16 May 2023 07:02:36
Morning OW and L.If Lopetegui is not supported in the summer, he will be gone.wherever, but to a top team.


3.) 16 May 2023 07:51:57
That rules Spurs out then Rugeley, without Kane barely mid table, imo.


4.) 16 May 2023 11:01:39
Morning to you too, Rugeley. Can't deny that. His forthcoming meeting with Shi will probably be pivotal (for him and our future).


5.) 16 May 2023 11:29:46
He's entered the betting at 40/1.


6.) 16 May 2023 14:34:32
Considering Wolves pushed and pushed to get JL, part of which allegedly involved transfer funding promises, I can only see that meeting as being a positive one Old Wulf.

Especially if others are sniffing about as to do otherwise would be beyond stupid.


7.) 16 May 2023 16:23:20
Agree Long.the new structure must have cost a Fosun a fortune, they will not waste that investment. Also Lopetegui would not have come if he wasn't given the reassurance that the resources to fix the squad this summer would be provided.
Also Clubs like Spurs would only offer him a Coaching role, not the all-embracing "Manager's" Role he has with us.


8.) 16 May 2023 18:07:30
Good last point,Rugeley. That's got to mean a lot to any coach come manager worth his salt.


 

 

05 May 2023 19:55:18
According to sources in Spain (Spanish journalist Toni Juanmarti) Mendes is allegedly trying to broker a deal with Barcelona for their 20 year old striker Ansu Fati.

The price: Ruben Neves plus £30M, how good must he be?

LongmyndWolf

1.) 05 May 2023 23:02:06
He's very good. He was touted as superstar about 2 years ago. We've also been linked to Nico Williams from Bilbao. Apparently Lopetegui has been given a huge pot of money to rebuild the squad and push us towards the European places.


2.) 06 May 2023 07:05:25
Let's just get over the line Jas first.then look forward not to evolution.but the revolution!


3.) 06 May 2023 08:48:03
We're also being linked with Coventry striker Viktor
Gyökeres (again).


4.) 06 May 2023 09:19:59
I saw that too Deb.
Be interesting to see if it materialises.
Imo every signing is not a certain that the player turns out as expected being the premier league is such a difficult league.


5.) 06 May 2023 11:52:32
He's good Longmynd but hasn't been pulling up trees and is far from being a regular. 4 goals and 3 assists in 31 league appearances this season. Only 20 though so has time on his side.


6.) 06 May 2023 16:06:04
This is one of my concerns about our striker pool Old Wulf, surely if we want to give it a serious go next season, we need proven finishers, not more potential.


7.) 06 May 2023 17:43:19
That's correct long but as I think BB regularly puts it, who? They cost a fortune and go to the big 6/7, it may be potential is the only way forward.


8.) 08 May 2023 11:53:25
Re Fati who does look a decent prospect. All I'd say Jas and I'm not knocking you but touted as a superstar a couple of years ago. I seem to remember we spent the family Silva on one of them! Just a thought pal.


9.) 08 May 2023 13:19:29
But you do realise that Lopetegui's agent is Jorge Mendes. Lopetegui really rates him and was on the verge of handing him his international debut when he was Spain manager. This is not a player who is not known. He just doesn't suit Xavi's style of play at Barca. Lopetegui will not be dictated to by Mendes and if he doesn't want him, he won't come.

There will be a clear out at Wolves this summer and if we are signing players of the calibre of Fati, then boy, we are in for an exciting ride.

I also think Silva will come back and prove that he really was worth the initial outlay.

{Ed001's Note - it is nothing to do with style of play. It is injuries and the fact that Messi is no longer there. Fati was being represented by Messi's brother while Messi was at Barca and so he got what he wanted to keep Messi happy. The injuries have made Xavi not trust him.}


10.) 08 May 2023 13:41:48
Either way, I'd still have him at Wolves over Podence and Adama.

{Ed001's Note - when fit and firing he is a fantastic player. Nice family too.}


 

 

28 Feb 2023 13:57:12
Not sure how realistic this one is but Mundo Deportivo claim Vinicious Souza will be signed by Wolves for next season

The City Football Group actually own Souza's parent club, Lommel and they allegedly have an agreement in place with Wolves for him to go to Molineux next season.

Nothing on if it will be a loan or permanent at this stage. Stand out player (on loan) for Espanyol so could he be a Neves replacement, if true?

LongmyndWolf

1.) 28 Feb 2023 16:53:22
Was reading he is "Casemiro 2.0" - could be a good signing if true.

Happy New Year everyone. For all three games over the Xmas/New Year period I've had to be somewhere else or I've been travelling, so I've missed them all. Maybe it's something I should continue doing as it seems to work out for the best.

Watching the highlights and MOTD of all the three games the Everton performance, in my opinion, was the best and certainly the 'easiest on the eye' for Wolves fans, at times brilliant. However, even when playing maybe not at our best we still managed to win the other games. Chelsea for example haven't lost a game since we beat them, Everton had only lost one away game out of seven previously so I have a question. Pretty football or not have we just become a hard team to beat?

Now with scoring goals again, 9 in 3 games since West Ham while conceding just 2, our once poor goal difference is improving nicely, something that may prove vital towards the end of the season. Personally, I think we will bring in another striker and possibly one other but not sure where for. We've lost some iconic players this season, no doubt but are this group actually more productive or is it the way GON sets them up? Neves was probably the best player I've ever seen in a Wolves shirt, but when your 'ball magnet' is a defensive midfielder does that help to stifle the attack? Even Jimenez, a player many of us had written off is now scoring again regularly, so was his goal drought his fault? How would he have performed under GON?

If's and but's maybe but one thing's for sure imo, GON has the potential to take this squad a long way, how long? time will tell, but it's going to be fun watching.

LongmyndWolf

1.) 02 Jan 2024 19:21:43
I agree, Neves was one of the best, but his offensive capabilities weren't strong/aggressive enough to help out with goals much. Although he did have the occasional golazo! I think Lemina has shown to be not far behind in many regards and possibly a better type for our style of play now. And Gomes also a great compliment to Lemina as Moutinho was for Neves.


 

 

28 Dec 2023 11:33:52
Just got back in from a meeting
As Brentford are below us I was expecting a beating
How wrong I was I'm pleased to report
'We need to show resilience' was Thomas Frank's retort
I heard that with some hilarity
More like Brentford were a registered charity
Agent Collins was our man of the match
At 3-1 up we were hard to catch
When I say hard what can you say
3 goals in 49 seconds of open play
Lemina started the rot when he headed
Something I'm sure they always dreaded
Sarabia was on fire there's no doubt
Wolves fans believing we were in with a shout
Then up strode Hwang he's in great form
Scoring goals becoming his norm
They pulled one back but it didn't matter
Brentford were set up for Wolves to batter
A third then a fourth hit the net
4-1 it finished, some having placed such a bet
So the boys did well and GON was happy
Unlike that Brentford Manager chappie
Let's hope Wolves push on from here
Another win for a bit of New Year cheer
Let's leapfrog Chelsea into the top half
Move up the table, I'll even buy another scarf
The one I've got is now a bit old
'74 League Cup if I may be so bold
So next up Everton a hard one to call
They've been going well but pride comes before a fall
Has their revival run out of steam
A Wolves win and a Chelsea/Brighton loss is my dream
What will be will be but I have no doubt
To start January in 9th we're in with a shout
So come on Wolves keep up the pressure
Listen to GON he's a managerial treasure
Get into the top half and we won't look back
Let's get this club back on track

LongmyndWolf

1.) 28 Dec 2023 13:16:57
Excellent Longmynd I enjoyed reading that!
What an excellent team performance that was last night. Hwang I thought was terrific, you make your own luck and his running in the hope of a chance brought him his goals. By being switched on and prepared to make runs in anticipation of errors and half chances characterised our performance last night. I hope the team are not going to be running on empty at the weekend after the Premier League gave us such a diabolical schedule over the holiday. It's not like we have the squad to freshen it up that much!
I can't see Neto starting, if Hwang can't play it might mean giving Sasa a start, who knows? Hoping for another win and fingers crossed!


2.) 28 Dec 2023 18:57:07
Keep em coming longmynd. Everyone is a great reflection.


 

 

26 Dec 2023 09:50:48
Ok so 'that' weekend is over and apart from the obvious festivities it turned out to be a pretty decent one for us.

However, the transfer window opens in a weeks time so apart from the obvious 'Striker' who/what else do we need? Rumours seem to indicate that one way or another Silva, Sasa and Jonny will be gone with Sa possibly heading to Saudi on a £40M deal.

With the 'in the know's' seeming to suggest that Wolves will only bring in a couple of new signings will they leave us even thinner on the ground than we are now? Or will the club try to replace all of the aforementioned, a replacement for Sa being a given?

As I posted earlier Guo is in town and that usually means one thing, so are we in for a few Happy New Year presents as the rebuild continues?

LongmyndWolf

1.) 26 Dec 2023 10:41:39
A few months ago it was reported that Raphael Veiga had agreed to join us in January. If this is true, then thus would allow Cunha to play further forward and Veiga to play the CAM role.

We also need a keeper and CB.

Short term solution if Sa leaves is Fraser Forster on loan or Hugo Lloris.


2.) 26 Dec 2023 11:47:13
Sam Johnson from palace has been rumoured to be a target replacement for Sa


3.) 26 Dec 2023 13:22:42
Think Gary said he wants a winger too.


4.) 26 Dec 2023 15:17:11
For context here the money spent on Sasa and Fabio combined equates to around the same fee City spent on Haaland! Not suggesting for a moment that he was an option just more highlighting the fact that it's never about how much you spend but ALWAYS about how ya spend it!

{Ed001's Note - that's not true. You are forgetting the agent fee, which was higher than the transfer fee. That is why only Citeh could afford him, as that is also not counting the signing on fee, which was tens of millions as well. Plus his wages are amongst the highest in football history.}


5.) 26 Dec 2023 17:26:33
Well we paid £35m for Fabio and £15m on Sasa so that's £50m, transfer fee for Haaland was a reported £51.2m. So as I said it was the same 'fee' not sure what wasn't true Ed?! Of course I was never talking about wages as clearly there's no comparison, mind you I would point out we gave Fabio an insane wage comparative to our structure for a player that had achieved VERY little!
Like I said in the post I was not suggesting for a min Haaland was an option Ed, more making a point regarding how baddly we spent £50m!

{Ed001's Note - that was just the release clause, like I said the fee ended up more than double due to the enormous agent fee on top. The reports were wrong as they usually are. They give false amounts either under or over depending on the agenda of the writer. Haaland's fees alone were well over 100m. Added to signing fee and wages, the real cost is well in excess of 200m. And there is the get out clause he has if Real Madrid come in for him, as he is intent on going there next. So there is not even a chance of getting that money back for him.

You are trying to make a false comparison about how well 50m could have been spent, when it would have not even covered the agent fees in the Haaland deal. It is pointless when you know full well Haaland would not have even considered a move to Wolves anyway, so how can you suggest Wolves have spent badly in comparison to a move that cost a lot more than you are claiming and could never have been an option? It is just a nonsense and inane comparison that is of no value whatsoever. Unless it is player/s that would have been possible, it makes no sense to say 'look at what we could have got with that money', because you couldn't have got it.

You could have used so many examples that actually make sense, such as players like Eze or Olise or other players that have joined comparable or lesser clubs. Then you can say 'look at what we could have got instead'.}


6.) 27 Dec 2023 02:52:54
It's not how you spend your money, it's if the coach will use who you bring in.


 

 

18 Dec 2023 10:13:59
Some good points raised and questions asked in posts, but so far this season we've had a pretty eclectic mix of results and performances whilst being subjected to the most disgraceful treatment by referees that I have ever seen in my years of watching football.

Its funny that it seems to have mysteriously stopped after so much media attention, which only fuels the conspiracy theories that it was in fact, orchestrated. Obviously, without that we would be doing Ok but still suffering from the frustrations and inconsistent performances that accompany a period team rebuilding, which I have always believed will take 3 years.

Having said that the summers 'fire sale' which I would prefer to call asset stripping, took place for several reasons. Firstly, to balance the books to avoid ffp sanctions. Secondly, because Fosun wanted/needed some return on the 100's of millions they had put into the club in recent years. As we know the downturn in the Chinese economy has taken it's toll. Thirdly, we had too many 'spent forces' or 'want-aways' in the squad for comfort.

So, it is what it is, a 'top manager' allegedly, gone in short order replaced by an apparently knowledgeable but inexperienced Coach. New players brought in with most lacking experience in this league. Not boom and bust but it will require patience from fans, owners and players to get us back to where we could and probably should be.

I'll put up with all of this but not the continuous sideways and backwards passing game played in your own half, even at home, in the hope that you nick the odd goal or point. Just enough for Premier League survival may have been GON's brief when he came in but we're better than that.

Will the club buy or sell their top players again in January? I don't think they will sell players who want to be here, but players like Silva will definitely be sold, imo.

So what do we want for Xmas? A STRIKER and I don't care if he's a player I've never heard of from a club I've never heard of playing in a country I've never heard of. If he can find the net gerrimin.

In the meantime, let's see a reaction against Chelsea and send us all into Xmas feeling just that bit merrier, have good one everyone.

03 Dec 2023 10:41:35
I know we seemed to have a ref/VAR related incident free game against Arsenal although I suspect that was because they took an early 2 goal lead and the match looked won. However, the ref didn't get the clamp down on time wasting memo, which helped Arsenal to see the game out. A cynical view? not really, I think it's a perfectly reasonable given what we've been subjected to this season. Still conceding these early goals needs to stop, we do seem to have to grow into games.

Anyway, I wrote this last week as my disillusionment grows, so thought I'd post it.

So 14 games in and stuck in 12'th
So much drama, not good for the health
The team playing well but being held back
By a succession of ref's deserving the sack
Their decisions have cost us dear
9 points so far and it's not even New Year
We should be up there in the European conversation
Enjoying the media and fans adoration
But no, it's like a conspiracy to keep us down
The men in black seemingly going to town
They're not on their own, VAR is a joke
Almost every week they pick on our bloke
The rules and their application are far too subjective
With decisions derided by the football collective
Some call it bias, some corruption
Either way there's too much disruption
Virtually every match there's another farce
Headbutts don't matter unless you fall on your a**se
Will it get worse before it get's better
Will the PGMOL be getting a letter
If I was Fosun I'd be on 'em like a ton of bricks
They're not in football just for the kicks
This nonsense is costing the club status and money
Something I doubt they will find that funny
But back to the football we're doing OK
Gary O'Neil bringing a new belief at the end of the day
The players like him and work to his plan
We're not there yet, but I like this man
After a rocky patch thanks to no pre-season
He's pulled it around, there must be a reason
He knows his business there's no doubt
He get's them working, no need to shout
They've all responded, too a man
Focused on their team and every fan
So let's hope the refs start getting it right
They need to or they're in for a fight
This is now being recognised as a football scandal
With the League needing to grab it by the handle
The fans are planning a demo against VAR
The pressure is on, it's gone way to far
We'll soon make Everton's punishment look paltry
But 'We won't be fooled again' to quote Roger Daltrey
They've been deducted 10 points for breaking the rules
We've lost 9 points for nothing, who's the fools
The club needs to kick up one hell of a commotion
No more 'apologies' and a ref's temporary demotion
So let's hope they've got the message, they're not untouchable
The jury's not out, it's already found them culpable.

Was only thinking we hadn't had a poem for a while!
Amazingly good!
Although I haven't seen the game or even any highlights I note that once again we started slowly and maybe it cost us the game?
Chris Sutton commented on the BBC that we had conceeded the most goals in the first 15 minutes of a game of any team in the Premier League!
Now having only picked up 1 point from SU, Fulham and Luton - 3 teams likely to end up in the bottom 6 - the next few games have become more important than they should be.
Burnley, on the back of their 5-0 win, will view the game against Wolves as a "can" if not "must" win and frankly it probably is a "must" for us as well!
Lets hope we can put out a strong team!
As what is clear is that whilst our first 11 looks pretty solid we really cannot afford all these suspensions and injuries.
Given there are still several weeks to the bookings amnesty will we lose more players to suspension
I gather we have the worst record disciplinary in the league!
Clearly relationships with the refs do count and whatever we are doing isn't working!
No idea how you solve that but it along with warming up properly so as to start games at the first whistle not 10 mins in should be management and the club's number 1 priority!

Longmynd. Excellent my friend laughed out loud at the headbutts bit! Well done, brightened up my afternoon on a rather drizzly miserable day!

As we have Prime I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening hopefully we can start when the ref blows his whistle and not fifteen minutes later.

Totally agree WolvesNutta, if that's true, welcome Che would be my reaction. However, I thought Southampton wanted to tie him down to a new contract first, maybe they have or will.

This season may be more interesting than many have predicted and we may yet be glad that Nunes did a runner. It seems to have opened the floodgates a bit.

Time will tell, of course, but I'd rather have a team of players who actually want to be here.

Subject to work permit apparently but at 24 years of age, a 6ft 4" frame and can apparently play a bit, sounds like a good signing.

This is probably why the Elvedi pursuit slowed down somewhat.

If he contributes what Matt Hobbs thinks he will then welcome Enso, I for one will be keen to see what you bring. Only eighteen but they must think he's good enough for the first team.

Thanks OldWulf, nice pun btw. I've got room in my life for both if I'm honest but I come on here to generally show support for the club, question the things I don't support and enjoy the sensible comments and well thought out observations of others.

I accept that some use it to vent their frustrations which is actually not a bad outlet and I've always adopted Derry's point if any of it has been addressed to me. Let's just hope as we get into the season and our performances are rewarded everyone will feel a bit more encouraged.

If the get £10M for Podence a player who we don't appear to need or potentially want, we can buy Elvedi who we do need and want with a couple of £M change.

Thanks for the explanation Rated. This came to mind as I was watching Man U women v Man City women earlier.

From what you've said it seems that women's football needs some form of financial regulation as currently I suspect the parent club controls the spending based on the ROI but that as you say still gives the bigger clubs an advantage.

Well done indeed Preston. I have a question, do the Women's teams operate with separate accounts to the men's game and is the women's game subject to ffp constraints like the men's?

For example, if City are found guilty of all that they are accused of and get relegated as a punishment how would that impact on their women's team who could have benefited in a similar fashion as the men's, being the same club.

You beat me to it HTP. Apparently, over failure to submit their accounts on time and having similar losses to Everton when they were last in the Prem.

That would mean starting the season with a negative points total if they get promoted and are found guilty, of course. On the upside Wolves wouldn't start that season in 20th, I suppose.

I was thinking the same Greyleg but to be fair, no matter how naive yesterday's performance, we have over achieved the expectations of most.

Let's see this season out, get to wherever we get and look forward to a good window, pre season and a more experienced GON.

It doesn't surprise me, with pretty much our entire attack out injured and little in the way of replacement due to running with a threadbare squad we offered little.

However, those last minute goals, AGAIN, are just ridiculous. Still suffering from the consequences of the previous poor buying decisions leaving us exposed to ffp as a result, I'm afraid.
