Hearing Jordan James is waiting for Crystal Place
Hope it’s not true, but his agent Unique Sports Group have a very close connection with Steve Parish.
1.) 14 Aug 2026 22:04:41
Was he at Wolves game, as so many said would be the case?
Confirm or otherwise. If not then I think it is highly unlikely that he will be signing.
2.) 15 Aug 2026 01:03:57
Wolves will be hoping that another club bids for him, as it will save them spending any money. They can then use the excuse of "we tried but a Premier League club came in". If Wolves really, really wanted him, and he really, really wanted to come, it would have been done by now.
3.) 15 Aug 2026 00:04:06
??Alarm Bells should be ringing ??
This squad is not good enough for top 8 of the championship.
The deadwood must be moved on: Johnstone, Toti, Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci, Wolfe, Doyle, Traore, Bellagarde, Hwang, Tchatchoua, Sasa and Hoever.
Just loan them out sell some at a discount move them on they are draining the club and stifling our rebirth.
Three months wasted Nathan Shi, Jackson and Cesar need to get out of cuckoo land.
We need a complete rebuild at CB, CM and our wide forwards.
As I've said we need pace in all three positions. But they lack of guile and technical ability on show tonight these players aren't good enough.
Transfer targets for a squad that will compete to go up:
GK-Keep Sa don't waste time
GK-Ruddy keep home grown quota up
RCB-Alleyne City or Phillips Spurs on loan both homegrown
LCB- Arrey Mbi Braga
CB-Webster free homegrown
CM-James Rennes Homegrown
CM-Braganca Sporting Ambitious move but one that could really set the tempo of our play. Also due to injury his place may have been lost at Sporting.
CM-Casares Gil Vincente maybe the sort of player to protect the new cms. Used to Cesars style and could move the ball faster. Plus he is a master of the dark arts in that he is competitive and is on the front foot.
FW-Dibling loan Everton homegrown
FW-Tyrique George loan Everton homegrown
FW-Monga Loan City homegrown
FW-Andre Luis Olympiacos
FW- Patrao Braga
FW-Varela Benfica
FW-Jota Celtic may be worthwhile punt. May fancy a new challenge
FW-Vivaldo Semedo Watford
These are vital that we get the deadwood moved on and we sign the players we need to be the best in the championship and to be ready to further develop in the prem.
So Wolves yes Wolves can you get your heads from up your you know what. And make some decisions and be all the adjective that you used to celebrate Wolves 150 years.
Original
Innovators.
Grafters.
Leaders.
Romantics.
Survivors.
Challengers.
Dreamers.
Our only shot in the second half was a penalty
Out of darkness cometh light. ???
4.) 15 Aug 2026 08:40:40
Won't get that many in now, only maybe 2 or 3. I think it's too late, should have started earlier. Hopefully J James comes in. I noticed you didn't mention Fer, and he's class.
5.) 15 Aug 2026 09:38:35
You talk of living in cuckoo land and then proceed to call multiple first eleven players 'deadwood', as well as suggesting multiple possible signings that would never happen.
In reality, the first eleven needs a quality CM to play alongside Andre, a CB, and a winger at minimum.
The club aren't going to look to sell, as you suggested, 3 of the 4 players playing in defence last night at this stage of the window. It's not feasible. We need quality additions to the eleven and more options off the bench in attacking areas.
6.) 15 Aug 2026 09:45:58
That's the problem with that mindset, we won't get anywhere. We are rinsing and repeating the past 3 years' worth of mistakes.
That first team last night was mainly a team of squad players.
Trippier, Andre and Raul are first-team players.
Lopez and R Gomes haven't done enough for me. Yes, a jinking run and an odd goal is okay.
But neither have been consistent at Wolves.
Sounds harsh, but it's a reality check.
Name a run of games where R Gomes has played 15 games in a row. Maybe under Vitor, I'm struggling. Not saying I'm not sympathetic to injuries, but we have to start saying what's right for Wolves and the club. Same with Mosquera, another injury after last night. He isn't good enough.
I predict 12th-16th place with this team if we continue blind, with 2-3 changes as you predict.
7.) 15 Aug 2026 11:08:47
Sounds great in theory, but your outlook isn't a viable option at this stage. And I don't agree. 3 quality signings would not leave us in 12th. We'd be looking up, not down with a few quality additions.
8.) 15 Aug 2026 12:56:15
Hasn't Alleyne just signed for Burnley on loan?
9.) 15 Aug 2026 14:54:57
Fer will do enough if we get him on the ball. He's a class act.
10.) 16 Aug 2026 09:18:02
FosunProject2ndGen - 12th - 16th. That has to be a wind up, and well done on getting a reaction.
Raul and Armstrong will both get close to or over 20 goals. Fer Lopez, Munetsi, and Mane will all get double figures, and others will chip in. A team with over 70 goals is going to be much higher than 12th. Without any new signings we're better than that - with 3 signings, maybe 4 if Sa goes, we'll have another RW, Said returning on left wing, a creative mf such as James, and a new cb, and our squad will be way stronger than most in the division.
It's looking likely one of Krejci or S Bueno will still be here, hence only needing one new cb, as Mosquera, Djigga, and Toti are decent options at this level, although Toti is a worry in a four at the back.
11.) 16 Aug 2026 11:13:45
Sorry Goodwhileitlasted1, I missed that on Friday. Good player missed. Philips or Webster would be great upgrades.
Flea, we conceded two and should have conceded more to a relegation tipped Blackburn at home.
I agree Raul and Armstrong could score goals, but it is the forwards around them I'm worried about. Let's say they score 35 goals, do you think the rest of the team will score 35 goals right now?
It's not just the scoring goals, our cbs are a calamity waiting to happen. They have no pace nor technical ability. Mosquera's long throw to Armstrong is pointless, it didn't work last season.
I respect your optimism, but I disagree. I'm usually one to back them, but this squad is far too slow and lacks the technical ability to get promoted. And they are far too inconsistent to boot.
I don't rate any of the cbs. I think we are filling ourselves with false confidence. Krejci and S Bueno were poor last season, but they were the better cbs we had. That shows how bad we were, and still are. They conceded 68 goals last season, with 10 men defending most games.
12.) 16 Aug 2026 22:26:30
If by Philips you mean Ashley Philips, he's gone on loan to Swansea.
Webster is good, but very injury prone the last few seasons, so he's unlikely to get more than 20 games out of him, as he'd need to get up to speed for starters.
13.) 16 Aug 2026 22:31:45
I suspect if any cb comes in, it'll be Medina, who we were linked with.
I disagree with a lot of the Mosquera criticism, as he seems a lot calmer and a better player when paired with Krejci or someone other than Toti.
I think he gets over-excited and reckless when Toti plays, as he seems to think he has to stop everything single-handed. So, I think he'll be a good cb for us if we keep Krejci, or get a good, calm replacement to pair with him.
14.) 16 Aug 2026 22:57:00
Another one missed it's a shambles. He ended up at Middlesbrough.
BTW, I did say we should have signed Alleyne in late May/early June on previous posts.
I just don't think we can take the chance with all the injuries anymore, mate, with Mosquera. It's not personal, but it's what's best for Wolves.
From the players I listed, I saw Webster as more of a back up.
Dawson is available, sounds strange, but he would be okay at this level as a back up. Medina is a good shout. I'd like to see a colossal signing, Disasi (I know he is lined up with West Ham). Also Panzo, who is a free agent after leaving Blues, is left footed, always useful and homegrown as a back up.
LCB is probably more of an issue that needs addressing ASAP...
16 Jul 2026 10:02:26
Jao Gomes to Aston Villa!
30 Aug 2025 11:41:10
Hearing that JSL has thrown his toys out of the pram. Clearly doesn't want to be here anymore.
1.) 30 Aug 2025 12:32:33
I suggested this yesterday and a few people thought I was being daft. Full expect him to dig his heels in and move. It seems to be the custom now.
2.) 30 Aug 2025 12:35:29
What's he done to suggest he's thrown his toys out of the pram? Feigned injury? Or something else
3.) 30 Aug 2025 13:18:22
Or perhaps VP is choosing not to play him because there is the possibility of further incoming which will depend on sale of JSL.
4.) 30 Aug 2025 13:43:42
Several good sources are adamant he's staying and that his absence against everton is due to a genuine achilles injury. Doesn't seem like the type to be disrespectful at all, and whilst David Ornstein suggested he asked to leave, no reports whatsoever have suggested he's been disrespectful
5.) 30 Aug 2025 14:10:29
Would be criminal to sell now tbf.
6.) 30 Aug 2025 14:34:49
He is injured, but if he has thrown his toys out then he'll be treated how we treat Nunes and Cunha, if he hasn't a few owe him a apology.
7.) 30 Aug 2025 14:39:09
Word is Jorgen will be at the ground today supporting the team. Doesn't sound like someone who's going anywhere!
8.) 30 Aug 2025 16:58:09
Don't blame Larsen for wanting to leave after that shower of rubbish. We are gash. Relying on three worse teams.
9.) 30 Aug 2025 17:23:48
I agree with all 3 of your points tg.
Are there 3 worse teams though? I hope so but I’m not convinced. This season could be an embarrassment.
10.) 30 Aug 2025 17:54:53
Us and West Ham poorest by far in the opening weeks. Don't see a squad capable of staying up atm, lost top quality and trusted players miles off it. I'd drop Agbadou, Toti and Munetsi for the next game.
29 Aug 2025 11:47:39
Still no news on Tolu Arokodare medical does anyone have a genuine update on progress of transfer?
23 Aug 2025 13:25:38
Hearing Wolves are bulking at paying the fee in the release clause for Ladislav Krejci. They are now offering less having initially agreed. Girona obviously unhappy so are backing away, the player is now back in the squad to play tomorrow having originally been left out.
1.) 23 Aug 2025 14:23:31
What a surprise
Jeff shi strikes again
2.) 23 Aug 2025 14:24:57
Can’t say I am that surprised Oxley seems to be the Wolves way, unfortunately. Thought he was a good player that would provide additional cover for midfield. Probably go elsewhere now and we miss out on another.
3.) 23 Aug 2025 14:37:20
You heard wrong Oxley, the fact is the deal is done but Krejc wants a couple of days to think things over.
4.) 23 Aug 2025 14:49:06
So if true, this is Jeff Shi's fault how exactly?
He has negotiated a price with Girona and agreed the terms and conditions of contract with the player (or the club have).
Player then changes his mind. Somebody enlighten me how this is Shi's fault.
5.) 23 Aug 2025 15:29:56
??? Jeff Shi ???
6.) 23 Aug 2025 16:20:48
FOSUN are to blame for this mess. Today's performance is on Shi as is our probable relegation. We look hapless. Being in the Prem means nothing if we are going to have to struggle season after season - and what's the point in being in the Prem if our chairman is only aiming for 17th. What a farce.
7.) 23 Aug 2025 16:28:03
Unlikely to be Shi who talks to player. Would be Teti. Worrying that there are too many occasions where players are choosing to stay put, as opposed to moving to Wolves and the Premier League. Can’t be the lure of the supposed best league in the world that is losing its attraction!
8.) 23 Aug 2025 16:57:36
tgwolves. I swear Jeff Shi looks exactly like Vitor Pereira in the dugout today. Or maybe Toti was to blame for his idiotic booking after 8 minutes and subsequent sending off. Or was Shi disguised as Toti too?
9.) 23 Aug 2025 17:22:18
We are in our 8th consecutive year in the Prem and I'd argue there were 4/5 players not good enough starting in the eleven. That's on Shi and FOSUN. Of course players have to take responsibility, as does the manager, but the reality is we have fallen into a steady regression at the end of the 19/20 season. Are you going to blame that on the players and the manager?
10.) 23 Aug 2025 17:41:42
Can't work out why Toti is captain. Barely talks during a game, and very prone to mistakes.
11.) 23 Aug 2025 18:59:32
Football is all about opinions and would be boring if we all agreed one with another. I will re-iterate my take on where we are regarding prospective ins and outs. I don’t see JSL as a natural goal scorer. Got a reasonable return last season but should have got a lot more. Missed good opportunities, at key points in the game, both last week and this. Anything north of £55 million from Newcastle and anything circa £10 million for Hwang and £20 million for Silva and I would move. On all three tout suite. Replacements aren’t easy but more chance with £80 million plus to back up your plans rather than £30 million. Looks like Kalajdzic if off given his absence today. Not shedding tears for any of the above, as they are just not good enough.
12.) 23 Aug 2025 19:07:45
Ray'that just goes to show how little leadership we have in the squad I'm afraid, Toti isn't a good enough player full stop, nevermind captain material.
13.) 23 Aug 2025 19:18:35
Wandering Jeff Shi is Fosun's representative at Wolves and responsible for the implementation of their policies that's holding this club back. That's not VP or Toti's fault is it?
14.) 23 Aug 2025 21:03:45
Today was about the performance. The players have to accept some responsibility. The matches are played on the pitch, not in the boardroom. Do we need better players? Yes. Could Fosun run the club better? Yes but these are the players that the managers, previous and present wanted so everyone from the top down needs to play their part.
15.) 24 Aug 2025 09:12:41
I agree with you Wandering, Shi and VP are not responsible for the on field mistakes, there seems to be a lack of confidence and cohesion that wasn't there last season (worrying) also there is a bit of concern for a couple of VP's starting line up choices, for me Hugo and Rodrigo Gomes also Andre for me is undropable.
16.) 24 Aug 2025 11:16:06
Feels the same as when GON lost the team. We need our team spirit back - we need our pack!
17.) 24 Aug 2025 12:10:07
Of course players have to take responsbility, as does the manager, but these performances are the result of a much wider issue. We have one of the weakest squads in the league and we lose our best players year upon year. If I'm not mistaken we have won 1/19 games in August since promotion in 2018. That is diabolical. We start slowly because we are often slow in the market. Is it inconcievable to think that we could go into a season well-prepared?

Does anyone know if a sell on clause for Pedro Neto was negotiated with Chelsea?
1.) 17 Aug 2026 21:36:20
Oxleymoorwolf, I've been searching all afternoon. No sell on clause just an understated £54m that includes add-ons. Another sold too cheap!!
29 Jul 2026 13:43:33
Now that Said is long term injured, how about Adama T on loan as cover, knows how Raul plays and has been his provider many times?
1.) 29 Jul 2026 15:02:28
No, don't want him anywhere near Wolves. He couldn't wait to go last time.
There is a reason nobody has moved for him.
2.) 29 Jul 2026 15:14:28
Sadly Adama Traore is a busted flush. Going from being called 'unplayable' by Klopp, to leaving us for a failed stint at Barca, then coming back, then couldn't wait to leave us again, then failing at Fulham and West Ham.
He turned out to be one of our most overrated players during Nuno's tenure at Wolves. His football brain didn't match his sheer physical qualities. Still, I'll always remember those two goals away at Citeh.
3.) 29 Jul 2026 18:40:22
As Deep states, Klopp once stated you needed a motorbike to stop Traore. Wolves could have got £30 million for him, but ended up with sfa. Cest la vie. Jeff was too busy trawling Wolverhampton for the next Donna Summer.
There was a time when Traore produced some incredible moments, but I wouldn't want him back at Wolves now. His wages and contract would be too much. He'll probably go to Saudi or Qatar. Good luck to him.
4.) 29 Jul 2026 20:40:22
If only - the opening line to every moan I know - Wolves had sold Traore instead of Jota.
The fee would have been far, far higher and, maybe, as he was a wide man, they wouldn't have felt compelled to waste a vast chunk of it on Fabio (or, of course, Hoever!).
How different would things have been!
5.) 31 Jul 2026 13:10:31
Adama wasn't coached properly. You can tell he never understood some things that were very teachable.
Nuno wasn't very good.
28 Jul 2026 16:25:58
Said has an MCL injury unfortunately that could be 3 months on the sidelines.It must be severe if he's in a hinged brace.
1.) 28 Jul 2026 18:23:16.
Another transfer signing hits the dust! Let's just stick with what we got. How can we be considering selling fit players for £10 million plus, and then buying players in the same money group and taking a chance? We have a very poor record.
I'm not even sure what medical process is carried out before buying! Anybody know how much we have spent on new players coming in who have failed to last even 6 games before they are sidelined.
2.) 28 Jul 2026 18:42:54
You honestly couldn't make it up! Our serious injury record is atrocious! Genuinely makes you wonder about the quality of our back room, to be honest. So essentially we are back to square one in terms of wingers. ?
3.) 28 Jul 2026 19:25:38
It beggars belief.
22 Jul 2026 14:13:11
Tolu surely wasn’t isolated as the training session was cancelled (can’t be isolated from something that never happened).
Maybe this was done to avoid breach of FIFA player protection/isolation rules, let's hope so.
The sooner this ego maniac bully is got rid of the better.
1.) 22 Jul 2026 16:16:24
It was cancelled due to him refusing to leave.
2.) 22 Jul 2026 16:47:33
Oxleymoorewolf, Wolves have to be careful with FIFA's new rules. According to all reports, he would not leave the training ground. Look at my comments below, and see what Edoo1's said. I'm right, that's why I've said Wolves need to be careful.
3.) 22 Jul 2026 19:02:51
Starting a fight last season. Refusing to leave training this week when ordered to. That's gross misconduct in my book. FIFA will side with us. If he wasn't worth anything to sell on, I would rip his contract up, but that would make him a free agent, unfortunately. Sell him for what we can get, and good riddance.
20 Jul 2026 13:37:10
Now go and get Jordan James, the clock is ticking!
A quality Joao replacement is critical, and the quality of the signing will serve to demonstrate Fosun’s support and aspirations.
Let’s see how ambitious you really are, Nathan Shi. All Wolves fans are waiting! … You will be judged by your actions.
1.) 20 Jul 2026 15:23:15
If Fosun were bothered about being judged by the fans they'd have gone home by now.
