Free agent Bertrand Traore is apparently being considered with rumours that Santi may be off to Saud.
1.) 04 Sep 2026 16:31:56
Wolves are in talks to sign free agent winger Bertrand Traore.
The Burkina Faso international spent last season with Sunderland & is set to become Cesar Peixoto's latest new arrival.
With the squad currently at max capacity, an impending exit is likely.
Here you go, mate. I'll just add to your post rather than start a new one.
2.) 04 Sep 2026 19:37:44
He's actually a half decent player. Could do well in the Championship.
3.) 04 Sep 2026 22:22:07
Agreed Pikey, not sure what his fitness is like, but he's only 30 years old, so could potentially be a master stroke in the Champ. ?
4.) 05 Sep 2026 16:10:37
Traore has just completed a medical and signed for one year, with the option of a second if we are promoted.
Who is out the door? Likely to be Santiago Bueno, which is my preferred option. He struggles for pace, which could be exposed in the back four.
As for Traore, it looks a really good move.
Very good finisher. Watch his goals, including ten for Villa - he passes the ball into the net. Injury disrupted his time at Sunderland last season and led to his release. Window is looking so much better with the last three additions!
5.) 07 Sep 2026 14:30:50
I presume, as a free agent, Traore is able to train with us pending him officially signing, once a space in the squad has been created. Is this correct?
If so, he could be available for the Sheffield game. A place on the bench would make sense.
02 Feb 2026 12:50:38
Larsen apparently having a Palace medical while Angel and Armstrong are having Wolves medicals today.AC Milan doctor to check over Mateta today; not sure whether the Larsen deal hinges on what tbe Milan doctor decides.
1.) 02 Feb 2026 14:52:47
Milan pulled out of deal according to Sky
31 Jan 2024 14:48:03
Yuri Alberto, Corinthians (ex Zenit St Petersburg) is Wanderers number 9?
1.) 31 Jan 2024 15:13:58
Deal almost done.
2.) 31 Jan 2024 15:19:32
Old Wulf how do you know that never even heard of the guy.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 15:35:31
Just watched a few clips of him old wulf, looks useful left and right footed can head a ball and follows in. Is it actually confirmed yet?
4.) 31 Jan 2024 15:39:11
Looks a possibility Old Wolf he's played with both Gomes and Cunha for Brazil so I'm sure Gary and Matt will have spoken about him to them. tbh probably as good if not better than spending 35 mill on Broja cwho may not come good. Certainly knows how to find the net from his YouTube clips. Good positioning sense by the looks of him. Worth a punt.
5.) 31 Jan 2024 16:13:48
Looks useful.
6.) 31 Jan 2024 16:51:22
You'll note that there's a question mark at the end of my comment Dek, thus indicating it's not a certainty. However, it does seem to be a rumour that has substance and legs unlike many that have appeared on here in the past.Time will tell and we don't have long to wait.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 18:04:38
Don't think this is happening.been rejected
08 Aug 2023 21:22:40
Parting of ways just announced.
1.) 08 Aug 2023 21:43:42
O'Neil is not the answer. They are not his players. The squad will now be stripped of the main assets. I expect Sa, RAN, Semedo, Podence, Neto, Cunha, Gomes, Kilman and Nunes to go and replaced with cheaper, Championship ready replacements. I think we're as good as down.
2.) 08 Aug 2023 21:46:14
Yep he's gone like he always do.but he done a great job I welcome O'Neill.
3.) 08 Aug 2023 21:50:04
Bring back Moxey and Big Mick more ambition than Shi
4.) 08 Aug 2023 21:50:31
Yeah it's official don't really know how I feel, seemed a decent bloke, but going forward want someone to bring our young uns through, first sign of aggro and he's off so best to part ways now than let things drag on, julen ain't no wolf
5.) 08 aug 2023 21:54:07
a good workman never blames his tools. (of which some we have sold on) however, it seems football is different. i do not think we have a bad squad, lacking depth maybe but certainly something that could be worked with. i am sure jl has his reasons, but i think wolves being on solid foundations of the most important thing currently
6.) 08 Aug 2023 22:00:08
Financial Foundations *
7.) 08 Aug 2023 22:15:23
Old wulf blimey your hackles are up! If we sell the players you mention I would not be too fussed bar neto the rest I'm not blown away, ran, semedo, sa, cuna overpriced, give our academy boys a run out and the new gaffer a chance
8.) 08 Aug 2023 22:21:13
Just seen sky sports news apparently we have interviewed a number of candidates 2 weeks prior to this announcement, its been a charade hence lope giving no post match interviews, feel a little mugged off,
9.) 08 Aug 2023 22:22:32
FOSUN OUT.FOSUN OUT.the fools are clueless.look fwd to be playing the likes of plymouth nxt ssn.
10.) 08 Aug 2023 22:25:39
Come on Jas, irrespective of our feelings, now is the time for us all to stand together with the new coach and fight for the cause.Its not completely relevant whether they are the new coach's players or not.Last season's January spending showed that Fosun simply cannot afford just to stand back and allow us to be relegated.It will be interesting to see what happens this coming January (seems we can forget about the summer window).
11.) 08 Aug 2023 22:48:07
Well said old Wolf, understandable folks are angry, but end of day we need to get behind whoever comes in, I'm sure the players knew that it was possible he would go, judging by Docs interview after the celtic game.
Fosun may just surprise us once again.
It's gona be arough ride for a few weeks, there's along season ahead, but the players qehave if it stays that way are more than capable, the next appointment is crucial, let's hope they have done the groundwork
12.) 08 Aug 2023 22:57:18
Totally agree give young players a chance.i see Frazier is going out on loan.i think O'Neill should hault that give him a go
13.) 08 Aug 2023 23:03:02
Think you've got me confused with Jas, nell.
14.) 08 Aug 2023 23:07:20
I think Jorge Mendes relationship with the club has soured and he will look to cut ties with us as soon as possible. Unfortunately this means moving his clients on.
15.) 09 Aug 2023 06:39:08
Jas M, the most important person to be moved on is Shi!
Just do not understand the thinking of Fosun.
16.) 09 Aug 2023 07:52:14
O'Neil is not good enough why didn't Bournemouth keep him? We gone for cheap option, J.Lo came here to fulfill the promises Fosun assured him. Fosun should sell up whilst in the Premiership, there time is Over!
17.) 09 Aug 2023 22:22:26
Jas m why isn't O'Neill the one for the job .to me I think he will be a great manager and wants to work hard at least he wants to knuckle down do job not like JL u cried and ran when the going gets tough.nuno was god JL wasn't
18.) 10 Aug 2023 00:03:19
Kally 1 explain why is O'Neill no good 2 why should fosun sell up 3 JL knew when he signed that there were ffp problems.hes to big for his boots.i think he was causing trouble on the inside .so when it got tough he cried and left us for dead but fosun has got O'Neill past is past look forward to future
19.) 15 Aug 2023 22:47:59
Kally 1 what did you think of game last night.wolves brilliant out played utd we were robbed.Oneil barmy army
12 Oct 2022 19:59:26
Leonardo Jardim is the new name on the block, seemingly out of nowhere. Now managing nowhere in a football sense (Dubai) but ex Monaco manager.
1.) 12 Oct 2022 22:03:17
Nuno also being considered
2.) 13 Oct 2022 06:58:09
This process is a typical piece of Shi and Sellars gross mis-management of the Club.
I am very pessimistic about he Club's future.
3.) 13 Oct 2022 11:11:33
You're not the only one Rugeley. Why would you build the club up to its highest point in 50 years only to then progressively dismantle its management team and then the squad that achieved that?
With the lack of any explanation of the various goings on fans disillusionment grows, they talked about 'The Pack' but in truth it's not. All that has gone, the current management lack the common touch that Dalrymple and Nuno insisted on and practiced. Maybe that's why they've gone, Jeff Shi has said he felt some of the fans never appreciated the efforts the club had made, welcome to football Jeff, 30,000 plus opinions to wrestle with.
It's clear to me that Shi has taken a wrong turn over the last 2-3 years. Some of us impressed by a Chairman that actually went to watch training and talk to the players every day now realise his real motives for doing that. The current management team whatever their individual merits, or not, appear to have been selected for one overriding reason.
Sadly, it's times like this that focus the attention on such matters as most of us wouldn't care a jot if we were up the other end of the table doing well. However, the way things are now that's just a pipe dream as the mistakes, missed opportunities and what could have been, are all racking up. Many think we'll bring a new Manager/Coach in and all will be well, a bit naive I think. Yes, this squad should be and will eventually do better providing the club can find a decent replacement for Lage. People, however, are not stupid so it's no wonder many will not want the job. The very fact that Rob Edwards has had a formal interview is just another indicator. If they felt he was capable of stepping up to a first team assistant coaching role as part of his development, why would he need an interview?
Incidents of 'good luck' and 'bad luck' happen infrequently to all of us but it would appear that this club is just plain cursed, but I think we all know that's just excuses.
4.) 13 Oct 2022 12:44:32
Hi LongmyndWolf, just been listening to the E&S latest podcast.
Those journalists a little closer than us fans to the Club, sound just as bewildered as us.
3 big games in what, 8 days? Should be looking at 7 points for me, BUT, the way morale is, 1 will be good!
I can't see a 3/4th choice manager getting anything out of this squad.
Sounds ridiculous, after just 9 games, but I think they should be planning for next season in the Championship. Find a young energetic manager full of ideas and enthusiasm and use the summer to change the squad.
One good thing is, we could get around £100m for sales, plus the circa £40m parachute payment, money will not be a problem.
I am afraid we have to start again.
ps
with a new CEO and HoFootball!
5.) 13 Oct 2022 13:33:39
I don't get why lopetegui even had the interview if he had no intention of taking the job.either doesn't want a relegation on h8s cv.or told ther was no money?.shame tho.but I too think unless we get the right guy wer doomed to the championship.which was always on the cards anyway rrlying on players like jiminez jonny motinhio year after year qnd blowing 70mil on guedes and nunes when we needed a quality fwd more.and i'd be inclined to take the first decent offer we get for neto.the lad is injury prone
6.) 13 Oct 2022 13:41:13
But this is the big mystery Rugeley, why has it come to this? This current management under Jeff Shi's direction have progressively brought this club down with their decision making.
There's no such thing as a problem, it's just a decision that needs making but this lot constantly seem to make the wrong one. There's been a visible trail of them since we lost the likes of Dalrymple and Thelwell increasing in frequency after Nuno went. Whatever Lage's capabilities or failings he was never going to succeed and I doubt under this regime anyone really will.
7.) 13 Oct 2022 14:29:54
If they are plannig for the champioship Rugeley do you really think that £150m plus would be made available for team rebuild?
Dream on.
8.) 13 Oct 2022 15:20:11
Not really W.just saying there would be funds to re-build.
9.) 13 Oct 2022 16:14:22
Bux I'm not sure Lopetegui had an interview, as such. Shi flew out to Spain to talk him into taking the job. He must have known about Lopetegui's personal circumstances before he went, what was the point?
You're right we should have bought the top striker we've desperately needed for 2 years or more. Our only hope is that Traore gets sorted and back to business getting those crosses in to Costa.
10.) 13 Oct 2022 16:25:07
Shi may be a good businessman but he does not have a clue about running a premier football club and that is the reason he has made so many bad decisions. He has relied on people like Mendes and Sellers to much and his decisions have destroyed any unity we had in our club. I make a plea to all the fans to get behind the players on Saturday for 90 mins and let's hope we can find a decent manager who can keep us in the premier league. Come on me babies.
11.) 13 Oct 2022 21:05:06
Guess who's the new favourite to get the job, folks. Clue: he had a dream and likes 5 at the back!
12.) 14 Oct 2022 20:22:29
LongmyndWolf - Did it ever occur to you that maybe the UEFA sanctions had something to do with the lack of investment during that time? Or is it just a coincidence?
13.) 15 Oct 2022 06:58:28
Handsome Lad, what has UEFA sanctions got to do with failed decision making following the loss of the senior management who brought success with good decision making?
My point was nothing to do with transfers, it was about the way the club is actually being run these days. We seem to stumble through the day now with the term 'bad luck' being used far too often for my liking.

Krejci is in for Toti and Armstrong for Mane.

Very sad news that following on from Lofty and Mike Bailey, Hughie Curran has now died. Another star from my teenage years gone! They call him Hughie, Hughie, faster than lightning, no-one you see is faster than he!
1.) 03 Sep 2026 18:18:18
Sad news indeed. RIP Hugh Curran.
31 Jul 2026 12:19:09
Sad news that Franco Baresi has died. One of the greatest defenders I've ever seen and seemingly a great bloke too. Only 66!
1.) 31 Jul 2026 17:37:29
Agreed, very sad, condolences to his family and friends.
26 May 2026 14:31:04
For those braver than me souls out there, you can currently get 6/1 on us winning the Championship and 13/8 for promotion. More keen on the relegation market at the moment, but haven't found it yet!
Hammers are 5/2 to win the league, with us next best followed by Burnley, Boro, Sheff Utd and Blues.
Those fancying an 'it's bound to happen' bet can get 40/1 on our friends from down the road.
1.) 26 May 2026 17:33:46
6/1 it will be a giveaway price if we top at Xmas, ⚽⚽⚽ tho.
2.) 26 May 2026 20:19:05
I've had a punt on Southampton being relegated 50/1.
3.) 26 May 2026 20:40:20
What price are West Ham to go down?
24 May 2026 07:49:10
Will we all be glued to El Lastico today? £3m extra prize money for the winner! Suppose I'll give it a whirl.
1.) 24 May 2026 10:14:17
Is that the difference, Old Wulf? We've got more than the indignity of being bottom to play for then! Whether that'll mean anything to the team, last match, away from home, 30-degree heat, and RE's pep talk, we'll see.
It'll either be a goal fest or the most boring draw, worse than yesterday's.
Burnley will no doubt be up for it. I personally can't see us winning, but, ever the optimist, 3-2 Wolves.
WTID.
2.) 24 May 2026 10:32:11
Amazingly, given that we're relegated, the pressure is on today. Normally, two condemned teams might play with freedom, but I don't think so today. There's more than the wooden spoon at stake for Edwards and Wolves after the statement of intent from Nathan Shi for next season. For me, next season begins today, and it's important that we win. A tense 2-1 win?
3.) 24 May 2026 12:15:23
Yes, Abbey, that's the prize level difference between 20th & 19th.
4.) 24 May 2026 15:21:11
Didn't realise that Old Wulf, cheers. I see RE has gone with Angel Gomes over Jaeo Gomes to start with. That's weakened us straight away imo. With 3m to play for, RE should surely be looking to win this one though!
5.) 24 May 2026 15:40:11
I think it's purely down to Joao not wanting to get inured before the World Cup, Atletico Madrid have already signed him, and RE wants to try Angel Gomes and Andre together.
6.) 24 May 2026 16:56:17
That makes absolutely no sense. Firstly, Joao Gomes is not in the Brazil squad for the World Cup. Secondly, Atletico can't sign him until the transfer window opens, and thirdly, why would he want to try Angel and Andre out? Angel leaves after today and won't be coming back, so it's not like he's looking at next season's options.
06 Sep 2026 07:37:34
Not sure what the correlation is between your two sentences, Lex, given he's not a defender for starters.
04 Sep 2026 15:43:06
Money talks for virtually every club in the world, so if any club had been serious about any of those three, there's no way they'd still be with Wolves, given Fosun have previous.
01 Sep 2026 15:02:22
Just gone 19 and scored 10 in 14 games for their U21s last season.
28 Aug 2026 18:47:24
Trouble is, good, this is football, not athletics. Having said that, the Championship is Munetsi's level, so he should hopefully be able to do some sort of job.
13 Aug 2026 06:48:25
Not seen Angel, but Fraser is miles away from being anywhere near good enough.
17 Sep 2026 22:32:51
Thanks for the hard work but I'm surprised by your Bellegarde comments. His 25 minutes were worth more and what about the exquisite through ball to Chirewa that should have ended in a 1v1 against the keeper but for Chirewa running on treacle?
17 Sep 2026 11:04:06
On paper goals are a concern but with the lower quality opposition more goals will come from non strikers as has been shown to date. Additionally, Bellegarde looked good in his cameo and he's likely to weigh in too when fully fit. I'd like to see us have more idea from set pieces but at least delivery should be good when Trippier is on the pitch.
17 Sep 2026 07:53:51
Time to leave the pub, Moby, if you think that was fantastic. Insipid would be my assessment. We played ok in parts but the team will be very different come Sunday.
16 Sep 2026 21:43:24
Sky commentator was bad! Thought Bertrand Traore was playing all game!!
16 Sep 2026 15:07:11
Hopefully you'll be proved right but saying that after a grand total of 178 minutes competitive game time is over egging the pudding to a massive degree.
