Tolu Arokodare sat down, refused to leave the training pitch and demanded Wolves let him move to Fiorentina.

My Sheridan will sort him out, no problem. I'll send him to Compton in his silk pyjamas to guard the entrance.
2.) 23 Jul 2026 11:46:04
If Fiorentina are prepared to pay the market rate, let him go. He clearly doesn't want to be at the club.
3.) 23 Jul 2026 14:36:34
How much is "the market rate" for a £24m flop?
4.) 23 Jul 2026 15:13:49
£38.50.
5.) 23 Jul 2026 15:31:47
No idea, Ron, but if he's that bad, why does anyone want him.
22 Jul 2026 14:05:41
The exclusion of Tolu by Cesar Peixoto has been met with the approval of the wwfc squad.
The group feeling is that this will strengthen the spirit and allow for everyone to understand that there's a leader inside the club now - and no disrespect to authority will be allowed.

Transfers, as ever, are far too slow. Should have signed 5 by now, so they can play together in all matches before we start, not like last year, bringing them in after we started. Thought we would have learned by now, but apparently not. Very poor management.
2.) 22 Jul 2026 17:56:07
World Cup year is always slow. Top teams pick the best and then the merry go round starts. Take West Ham, they've signed 1 player for just over 1 million and Burnley have only just got a manager.
People need to take a breath.
If we have no more signings by close of the window, then complain.
We have signed 3 early signings. Gomez has just been sold.
I would expect something to happen next week on incoming.
3.) 22 Jul 2026 18:46:32
That's the way I see it, Camo.
There's a couple we have missed out on though:
Devine, Preston £6m
Lankshear, Middlesbrough £11.7m
Dobbins, Southampton £10.5m
I don't particularly rate Lankshear and Dobbins, but still important for squad depth.
4.) 22 Jul 2026 20:27:59
Don't need Dobbins. Wasn't there a donkey called Dobbins? Wolves have enough right wingers.
22 Jul 2026 02:50:21
Tolu causing issues again, refused to leave the training field when he was asked to do so.
1.) 22 Jul 2026 06:17:28
He's obviously toxic for the group, get him gone asap!
2.) 22 Jul 2026 07:48:56
According to the happy clappers, Tolu is a top player and should be starting every game. Build the team around him.
From day one, it was obvious he was lazy and had a **** attitude. An atrocious signing.
3.) 22 Jul 2026 08:55:42
Where have you seen that, Plaza? I have not seen any posts suggesting Tolu should be in the team. If I'm wrong, point me to those posts, please. And, what's a happy clapper? Is it someone who's been home & away for 50 years, but now finds it difficult to attend for whatever reason, maybe health or affordability...
I must be a happy clapper then, cus I only went home & away for over 50 years. Most of the grounds I've been on are supermarkets or houses now... Happy clapper ffs.

Wolves are apparently set to sign Standard Liege winger Rafiki Said for around €10m.
1.) 10 Jul 2026 03:11:28
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Finally making more moves.
2.) 10 Jul 2026 11:07:37
Said is apparently having a medical today. Looks promising. If no problems, will fly out with the team to start pre-season in Portugal.
3.) 10 Jul 2026 11:21:39
Don't know anything about him. Is he any good? Can he make the move from Belgium football to the Championship? We all thought Tolu was going to be a decent player after a good season in Belgium, but he wasn't.
Hopefully Rafiki will prove to be better suited to English football.
4.) 10 Jul 2026 13:28:06
Apparently Standard Liege can't believe their luck getting EUR10 m for a player rated EUR5 m at best. Said to be very inconsistent, hope he proves them wrong.
5.) 10 Jul 2026 14:04:12
Sadly, this is one that all we can do is take on board the comment so often made on this site - even in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is not deserved - "give him/Fosun/the club/etc etc a chance".
At 26, with no more than an adequate record in a very modest league, it is far from an exciting signing and, as many are saying, looks fully priced at best.
Surely there were far better value options out there, and certainly "safer" ones, but let's hope he outperforms what are pretty low expectations.
6.) 10 Jul 2026 14:58:49
If we haven't got players as good as him in the under 21s, why bother with an under 21 league? Reading about him, he seems very average. Got to be others in our lower divisions who can do the job without overpaying.
I know we are just a Championship side now, but surely we have to have some ambition. I fear a long, hard season is ahead.
7.) 10 Jul 2026 16:29:18
Last season, 8 goals and 4 assists, and he's got about a 1 in 4 career average, and he plays internationally for somewhere that I confess to never having heard of.
8.) 11 Jul 2026 06:44:51
Think of the new teams in World Cup.
9.) 11 Jul 2026 11:15:09
Fabio Silva looked better than he has playing anywhere (before or after) when he was at Anderlecht.
12 Jun 2026 23:09:32
Rodrigo Pinheiro is very close to signing for Wolves allegedly.
1.) 13 Jun 2026 06:39:37
Who is he?
2.) 13 Jun 2026 08:09:28
Isn't he a right-back? The same as Trippier.
3.) 13 Jun 2026 14:46:43
Plays left back also.

If both Krejic and Santi stay there's our defense solution.
1.) 08 Aug 2026 17:58:47
It's a rare occasion when I can get to watch my beloved Wolves, but today I went to the club shop to purchase a home shirt.
Being 66, and needing an extra large.
I presumed they would be plentiful.
The largest size was small on the racks.
A whole section was completely empty.
I asked the security guy; he said the online seller won't release shirts to the shop.
He wants online sales more.
2.) 08 Aug 2026 18:04:37
Rated RKO, mate, it's a big if both want to leave from what I've read. Mosquera and Toti are a disaster waiting to happen. Need some new faces to help out, but CP has the full trust in the Board. He must be the only one, because I've read the sites and nobody trusts the Board.
3.) 08 Aug 2026 19:36:18
Agree, DMac, mate, it is a very big if.
28 Jul 2026 20:40:55
Wolves have retained their Category One Academy licence for the 2026/27 season.
It is subject to the completion of proposed additions to facilities and the club is expected to complete work on its £10m Academy expansion by summer 2027.
1.) 28 Jul 2026 21:41:25
Seems like the club is just trying to get to the bare minimum here.
2.) 28 Jul 2026 21:44:30
This is good news, albeit we should never have been in this position in the first place.
28 Jul 2026 16:03:49
Some need to realise we're in the Championship now. Not many top players are going to come, we did well getting Trippier and Raul to Wolves.
Instead of moaning how about seeing if the rumoured signings happen first and then giving them a chance.
No I'm not happy with Fosun. I want them gone but end of the day in our situation player wise we're not going to attract top players that is the harsh reality and it's high time some started to see that.
1.) 28 Jul 2026 16:48:02
I want Fosun gone. They're perpetual liars who think the average Wolves fans is an idiot with the memory of a goldfish.
Wolves might get promoted to the Premier League, but Fosun don't have the ability to keep the team there. They did to begin with - thanks to Mendes - but they don't anymore. If Wolves go up, they'll eventually drop back down again.
They don't have the ability to run a successful football club. A professional gambler and entrepreneur from Brighton knows how to run a football club. In 2016, both Wolves and Brighton were in the Championship. Ten years later, Brighton are light years ahead of Wolves. Look at what Brighton are planning for the Women's team.
Brighton FC - men's and women's team - are gone. Brighton is run by people with ambition and intelligence. Wolverhampton Wanderers is run by daydreamers. Jeff Shi with his record label! Good grief.
The youth systems category one status is under threat.
Many areas of the Molineux stadium have become desperately tired and disheveled.
The training facilities need a massive upgrade, especially if Fosun want to turn the Women's team into something more than a short distraction.
Fosun can't move Wolves forward. They can't move the women's team forward. They can't move the youth system forward.
Talk is cheap. Fosun are definitely cheap.
2.) 28 Jul 2026 17:18:32
Wolves will not go up and that is a certainty. Back to the dark old days, signing cheap average players who play a game, then get a season-defining injury.
3.) 29 Jul 2026 11:05:04
QS, I can't wait for your posts next May, moaning we'll be relegated straight back down when we do go up this season. I don't see much support coming from you, yet you claim to be a supporter.
22 Jul 2026 23:07:12
The fiasco continues.
Tolu himself has posted this.
I was very surprised and disappointed to see the media reports today, many of which are inaccurate.
Throughout my career, I have always taken great pride in conducting myself professionally and maintaining the highest training standards.
My commitment has always been to prepare myself as well as possible so that I can contribute to my teammates and the club whenever I am called upon.
I remain under contract with Wolves, and my only intention is to fulfil my responsibilities professionally by training, doing my job, and contributing to the team in accordance with that contract.
1.) 23 Jul 2026 04:23:17.
Looks like something prepared by his lawyer to refute any suggestion he is in breach of his contract. Need to offload this player asap.
2.) 23 Jul 2026 15:21:01
So he sat in the centre circle refusing to move, dunno what he thought any of the coaching staff were going to do about his contract/transfer etc.
He's a puerile sort for a big man, and all he's achieved is a poor reputation.
Now he's less likely to get his move. Who'd want him? We could be lumbered with paying him off unless disciplinary action can get him out.
11 Jul 2026 03:12:22
Good job, potential signings probably don't read these forums, as why would they come when they've been written off before even kicking a ball?
Newsflash, we are not in the Premier League now so we are not going to attract top players.
1.) 11 Jul 2026 09:03:25
We did attract top players last time we were in the Championship, and easily won the league.
Why can we not attract top players now?
2.) 11 Jul 2026 10:04:20
As Dmac123 commented earlier, WSD, if Fosun have not changed their self-sufficiency policy, we probably can't afford that class of player any more. That policy was not in place first time around, but if we do gain promotion it will likely be 'rinse and repeat,' as that approach has been the author of our demise, which many of us and football commentators predicted. I was prepared 'to give Fosun a chance' after the removal of Jeff Shi, but is it just going to be the same play but with different actors?
We hear new signings have 'bought into the project,' but what is that? It was the 10 years to greatness project that then became 20 years. Now it's the get promoted project, but what's after that, the bum around the bottom of the Premier League dodging relegation project?
It's also been mentioned that ground upgrades are back on the agenda, but again, if the costs are going to be dumped on the club then that will turn the financial screw even tighter.
Just a thought, would it be better to vacate the Molineux and offset the cost of a new stadium by selling the more valuable city centre site, a bit like what Shrewsbury Town did? I know that's not a popular approach, but is that restrictive site also constricting progress?
Like so many, I hope to be proven wrong, but whichever Shi we've got in charge, whichever players we buy, will it be 'groundhog day' on a continuous loop for this one reason? If so, we might as well forget a return to the glory days that were achieved before Fosun realised the true costs of maintaining that progress.
Before I get jumped on, it's not being negative to want the very best for your club, but I am frustrated that this approach is likely to continue. I once asked if Leopards change their spots, apparently they don't?
3.) 11 Jul 2026 10:08:18
When we won the Championship last time around, Fosun were still relatively unknown and their ambition seemed inspired. This time, any potential signing will have taken note of the last 5 years.
But, the likes of Raul and Trippier would not have signed if we were a club looking to stand still or move backwards, so hopefully the removal of Shi has freed the club from his shackles.
09 Aug 2026 15:07:23
Wolves have spoken to him and are awaiting his response.
09 Aug 2026 14:41:39
Wolves are "desperate" for midfielder Jordan James, and are waiting on the Rennes player to make a decision on his new home.
06 Aug 2026 15:04:27
I guess some mothers really do av them.
31 Jul 2026 16:58:49
Up to Sa now to get his head down and crack on.
27 Jul 2026 13:02:46
Deal agreed for Tolu Arokodare to join Ajax on loan, with a buy option of around £17million.
Dutch club will cover his full wages, and pay Wolves a loan fee plus further bonuses based on Ajax's qualification for European competitions.
Easier to add to your post than start a new one, mate. lol.
08 Aug 2026 19:36:18
Agree, DMac, mate, it is a very big if.
08 Aug 2026 16:15:48
Dave, mate, I think we have a decent manager in now, and he has brought togetherness back to the players. Look at how Lopez was smiling last night.
I think Pexiero could be exactly what we've been needing since Nuno.
04 Aug 2026 02:48:26
Think he got banned, not sure, but either way I hope he is ok.
02 Aug 2026 03:08:04
Moby, we won the actual friendly 3-0, pal.
29 Jul 2026 15:03:42
Yup I always believed Morgan was badly advised by Moxley in transfers, Morgan actually cared.
