Quite a few links with us amongst other 3 usual suspects for Josh Brownhill from Burnley.

Think we've been linked before too.

Need someone in the engine room, not sure he's the answer but we need a tough tackler for sure.

TommyTatter

1.) 10 May 2022 14:27:19
I really hope that isn't true. Brownhill is bang average, a top end Champ CM on a good day! Luckily we very rarely sign players we are tied with! ?


2.) 10 May 2022 16:12:24
I can't disagree with that bullys

Just feel with not getting European football the pool of players we draw players from will change.

I'd love a Palhinha or Sanches they seem more unlikely without that extra pull. I hope I'm wrong. Another one was Kondogbia from Atleti

Going back to the champ days someone to complement a Neves type. You do look for someone in the mould of an Alfred Ndidye to provide the balance. Especially in a two.

Will be an interesting summer for sure.

Reliable source in John Percy guardian stating there is serious interest in Goncalo Guedes this summer from us and that he could be got cheap. (This one isn't anything new)

We are after a young Striker. Hugo Ekitike mentioned but has lots of interest from other teams

Lastly that we are after a ride sided CB with Kilman moving over to the left side

TommyTatter

1.) 27 Apr 2022 09:42:34
I don't think we need a young striker we have plenty of youngster's, we need a goal scorer added to the squad


2.) 27 Apr 2022 15:17:11
We need a 20goal a season striker, just think where we could have been this season if we had one in the team.


3.) 27 Apr 2022 18:06:01
If Bruno is going to play Max on the left which is not a problem I would expect that he intends to play Yerson on the right as he clearly regards him as having great potential. Whether this is the right thing to do who knows! Clearly Bruno loves developing young players, no doubt that's why Jeff appointed him. I am yet to be 100% convinced by Bruno. He's done very well but next season I hope he can really put his plans into action but the transfer window this summer should be interesting. Better had be in fact!


 

 

04 Apr 2022 16:26:54
Lots of talk about Neves and Moutinho exits

Linked with Matheus Nunes and Joao Palhinha as replacements. feel its unlikely we would loose both In one window. Those aren't bad incoming options at all

Moutinho definitely needs a small extension for me. Will be down to Neves probably going to be the season he moves on. Renato Sanches is still a very good shout. As it was close to coming off.

TommyTatter

1.) 04 Apr 2022 16:57:38
Everyone has their price TT but if it’s time for Neves to move on he must be worth as much as Declan Rice and West Ham are saying they would want over £150 million for their star player.


2.) 04 Apr 2022 17:26:16
Didn't Lage come out the other day and said that he'd identified the players he wants in the summer so that he can get the team playing how he wants?

Don't know who is on the list but just imagine how good we'll be as at the moment, he is using Nunos squad.


3.) 04 Apr 2022 18:12:45
Jas mate, yes he did. E&S mentioned Center Back, Midfield, and Strikers.


4.) 04 Apr 2022 23:48:31
Moutinho is a tricky one, because no one can deny that (frankly) he did us a massive favour coming to us when he did! Peeps will say the same for Neves but it's different cause a) Neves was still building a career and b)for £5m Joao really could have gone anywhere (including most top four teams as a squad player). With that in mind we don't know what promises have been made, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was when he's ready he goes on a free to reap the benefits. I agree with you though and personally would LOVE to see him not only sign a year's extension but also to have a coaching role built into it for the longer term. But then I don't know the man, maybe he wants one last title win back home? Or maybe one last big pay check in the MLS (which he would still absolutely OWN)! I really hope he stays but if not then he's more than earnt the choice for me ?


5.) 05 Apr 2022 07:54:34
When we signed mouthino talking to an Everton fan he said it was the wolves best ever signing and a snip at £5million.
A few on here the last couple of seasons gave said he is too old and his legs have gone but he still going strong.
An excellent player who passes his experience down to the younger players including Neves.


6.) 05 Apr 2022 17:40:41
This is controversial and just a thought but I've been thinking if long term Fabio could play central midfield. He's only young and has only had bit parts but his vision and passing seems to me to be better than his finishing. Some players find there best position isn't always what they were signed for.


7.) 05 Apr 2022 17:48:44
João might have been only 5m but isn't he our highest paid player?

Hard to see any club offering more than a year contract so unless he moves to fulfill a dream (Madrid?) I think we have a good chance of keeping him at least I hope so


8.) 05 Apr 2022 18:34:41
According to one website Trincao is our highest paid player but that's obviously a Barcelona Salary and I'm not sure Wolves pay the whole salary. It appears that Joao is the highest paid player that is not on loan.


 

 

20 Mar 2022 10:58:53
Guillem Balague on twitter has said we a one of a number of prem teams very interested in Flamengo 23yr old Striker Pedro. Previously played in Italy.

TommyTatter

1.) 20 Mar 2022 23:17:48
He has a great record in Brazil but his Italian experience was only 4 appearances for Fiorentina (so probably doesn't count for much) - he was only 19 at the time aswell so will have developed since then. Sounds interesting if we are tracking him.


 

 

15 Mar 2022 16:22:36
Discussed before a lot of links with Riqui Puig CM from Barcelona keep popping up.

Seems highly likely Barcelona will attempt to avoid paying much of a fee for Adama. Very technical player with good mobility. Someone who can progress the ball from midfield dribbling is definitely needed.

TommyTatter

1.) 16 Mar 2022 10:01:14
As things stand Tommy that deal looks more likely than a Traore/Trincao swap.

Further transfer rumours include Wolves looking at another Shaktar player Tete and Marcal off to Botafogo in the summer.


2.) 17 Mar 2022 07:17:02
Haven't heard of the Tete one where has that come out? He would be a class signing.

Have a feeling he might Stick with Neto and Chiqinho next season. Maybe use Gibbs White in the Trincao third midfielder role, Lage was taking about.


3.) 18 Mar 2022 09:31:28
Read about the Tete link a couple of days ago Tommy, but it may just be click-bait. Having said that players from the Ukranian league are free to go elsewhere and Wolves are looking at Pedrinho, apparently.

A Jan sale for Traore is looking ever more likely. if not then the summer. Can't see us getting more than 35 for him at this stage.

Do those funds go straight into a defensive or midfield reinforcement. Do you sign another winger. A lot of questions for us to answer in Jan.

TommyTatter

1.) 18 Nov 2021 08:29:57
Personally I think a strong midfielder would be my priority. Neto, trincao, hwang, pods, raul, if all fit and still with us give a frontage to provide options. Simarly boly coady kilman seiss marcel Johnny hoever semedo and mosquiro and not forgetting dendonker if all fit should suffice for the time being. But neves and moutininho (who is abit aged now) seem abit lightweight. So I'd love an investment in that area. It'll be interesting and a big turning point as to what happens and how Bruno sees the future, which I also have a question mark over, is Bruno really here for Wolverhampton wanderers or for his progression?


2.) 18 Nov 2021 11:22:08
Forgot RAN. Too


3.) 18 Nov 2021 15:41:35
Jeff Shi took a big risk on Bruno he'd only had one full season as a top club manager albeit a successful one that then went awry. So far its going ok for him and us but should he fail with Wolves he's going to struggle to get another. Unless of course he is seen to be unsupported in the transfer market which to be fair so far he has. He can't fully play his style of football though in the glimpses we've had it looks good. Yes it will enhance his reputation if he succeeds but its hardly a stepping stone to better in my view. He has a great opportunity.


4.) 18 Nov 2021 18:03:11
Very good points ken68, but to me he dosnt seem, from the comments I've read, to regard himself as a part of the club, more the employee going about his ideas. That said his celebration when we beat Everton looked true to heart. Maybe it's having been accustomed to Nunos father figure approach. As you say though we're not going to be a stepping stone for him unless we do something special. If he does get what he wants and we need in January the pressure will be on. Anyway no matter what COYW.


5.) 18 Nov 2021 19:34:34
Still early days for Bruno Abbey it will take a while to form a relationship with the fans like Nuno had, if ever tbh. Nuno just got Wolves fans a created the pack mentality. That for anyone will take some emulating, not going to be easy. He's done ok so far not broken any pots as they say. Let's see what January and the rest of the season brings before we make any serious judgement.


6.) 18 Nov 2021 19:58:10
I can't see an overnight revolution happening, by which I mean 5 or 6 new players and a transformation in playing style after 1 transfer window in the same way we saw when Nuno rocked up at the Mol in the summer of 2017. The stakes and costs are so much higher as a prem club. If we are to progress under Bruno it may take a few transfer windows to see where we are going, evolution as funds become available and the necessary players can be found.


7.) 18 Nov 2021 21:22:04
Agreed but a couple of viable first team players rather than potential players would be a start to getting moving in his chosen style. We have certainly as i've said seen glimpses so far not sure that we will against West Ham its going to be a tough game! I'm reasonably happy so far he seems to have the players with him. As has been commented on already his substitutions haven't exactly changed games so much. Maybe coming too late in the game to have any bearing on the result. Subs need a bit of time to get into the game I think. Anyway hoping for a good game at the weekend despite Dean being in charge!


 

 

16 Nov 2021 16:21:25
Adama leaving is looking more likely as the months pass.

Barca has been mooted quite a lot recently. Which would make sense for him. There lack of funds presents an obvious problem. Could see some sort of loan with an obligation or players chucked in the deal.

We have Trincao of course who hasn't fully convinced yet.

TommyTatter

1.) 16 Nov 2021 17:27:27
Odd isn't it if Barcelona along with most of the other giants of European football want him but most Wolves fans don't rate him?


2.) 16 Nov 2021 19:55:24
I'm not sure that Wolves fans 'don't rate him' TFIOG, it's more like frustration that he rarely seems to fulfil his obvious potential. That's a view also shared by many fans of his previous clubs.
The so called big clubs that want him will probably use him as a bench warming impact sub, the difference being they will pay him silly money to do that, Wolves won't.


3.) 16 Nov 2021 21:46:53
Longmyndwolf . I think you are spot on. I love Traore in full flow but he is so frustrating he nearly always tries too much and often loses the ball. He also causes us problems when trying to bring the ball out of defence he seldom uses the easy pass. We wait and wait for this potential to blossom but he’s 25 now and should have harnessed his talent to become a team player, something I don’t see at the moment. As dynamic and exciting as he looks at times I would sell him, maybe other clubs think they can do the job or as Longmyndwolf said use him as an impact sub a expensive one. I know TFIOG is a great Adama fan but surely he’s had enough time with us.


4.) 17 Nov 2021 07:36:26
Agree with you Norfolkwolf, I like Adama but he does sometimes frustrate me


5.) 17 Nov 2021 10:51:36
I think most of us would agree Norfolk, little point in getting the crowd on it's feet for 15 seconds, only to flop back down again disappointed.
Having said that I'd still prefer him to be sold abroad.


6.) 17 Nov 2021 18:56:42
I like adama as a impact player, and there have been games when we've screamed for his presence which alone would open spaces in the middle. I think sometimes he's too fast for our attack and balls appear wasted as they've not caught up. His finishing could be better ( no complaints against man city tho). His defensive side is iffy, so he's an expensive luxury. I wouldn't want him coming on against us so any sale abroad please. Financially it would make sense. Butas I say I like him, I think he's an asset and we certainly havnt got any other explosive forward going player. Money matters so I guess he'll be off.


7.) 17 Nov 2021 19:19:10
Agree on the city aspect.
No way I would sell him,
Pay him what e wants,he's very exciting on the ball,
When we defending a corner leave him on half way line and boot it as quickly as poss to him.
There's not a defender in the land who wants him running at them


8.) 17 Nov 2021 20:22:23
As I said dynamic and exciting going forward, but 17 goals in 260 games really sums him up,potential but we can’t wait forever.


9.) 17 Nov 2021 20:24:01
If Adams has to be sold then we should perhaps be careful who we negotiate with, I know that's difficult. Let's not take someone who's never going to make it where that are! For example Liverpool have according to click bait have suggested 3. If it has to be them take the money not the player. We should decide who comes in not them!


10.) 18 Nov 2021 12:48:02
Adama is a strategic weapon and can be devastating in certain games and situations. But over a full season or even over 90 minutes he doesn't do or offer enough. Large has quickly recognised this, hence the bench.


11.) 18 Nov 2021 17:55:52
It amazes me how they can even talk about selling Traore. Wolves attacking options are very limited, but in him they have someone who defenders hate facing. He can be frustrating at times but if he could turn it on for 90 minutes every game he would not be playing at Wolverhampton. If you put all the squad up for sale none would come up to his valuation. Perhaps at a big club with a top manager he can realize his huge potencial. How many times this season have Wolves been struggling to break a team down, but he is left sitting on the bench while subs half his size and ability are introduced who make not the slightest differece.


12.) 18 Nov 2021 21:56:38
So. BARCELONA not a big club then


13.) 19 Nov 2021 00:41:21
Great thread as always gents. On Adama I truly feel conflicted! Whatever anyone thinks no one can honestly argue agaisnt the fact that he's a VERY unique player. Before CV kicked in he was third in Europe for most successful dribbles (only behind Messi and Ronny) which in itself tell you how very unique he is. However like those two players mentioned he is also a 'luxury' player and arguably a luxury our system doesn't afford (going off recent selection). All that said though the REAL problem here is that he hasn't signed a new contract yet (why)?! With that being the case (like others) when we see him being phased out of the first team I can only assume one thing and that is a sale come Jan. Sadly, for me it's all about the realities of the situation. I don't want to lose him but if he won't sign and we are offered anything above £30 (with add ons to near £40m) would anyone say its bad business?
I hate saying that cause (like usual) I find myself agreeing with TFG. Had we just handled this differently then where could we be?! Apprently Klopp wanted Adama and Nuno/wolves talked Pool into Jota instead! How very wrong we got that! And I'm sorry but it's a mistake Thelwell wouldn't have made! I've said it many times on here before (and if I'm honest it's why I've backed away from the forum as I've sensed the room and peeps don't want to hear it:) but the club started regressing since we tightened the purse strings and knowingly let key staff just walk away. Dalrymple, Thelwell and Phil Hayward are all still now genuinely recognised as being at the top of their game, so why did we let them go? I've said it before but Dalrymple is working wonders putting Sarcys on the map and as for the other two well who plays FM?! I do, and that entire game is based on numbers taken from opta stats (it's run by the same company). The guys making it have no wolves agenda (in fact they famously support Everton) yet still Thelwell and Phil Hayward are recognised as two of the best in their role on the ENTIRE game! Now I'm not saying that's gospel but what I am saying is that this is the way the rest of the footballing world saw those two key members of the back room and we just knowingly let them walk?! In fact there is an excellent article in The Athletic titled 'Why Wolves fans should be worried about Thelwells departure'!
Then there's the Graham Hughes stand which I'm reading today will be shut while they repair it. Please someone tell me why in one breath Fosun are telling us they are in it for the long haul but in the next breath they are 'repairing' a temporary stand?! It makes NO sense! Spurs, Arsenal, WHU fans all moan about their board but one thing ANY of them CAN'T honestly say is that they aren't in it for the long game?! They can't say that because what each one of those clubs has done is seriously invest to put an infrastruce in place which has an eye on the future. Please anyone tell me a single thing Fosun have done for the 'Long Haul'?! What infrastructure have they ACTUALLY improved since arriving?! And sorry but signing young players doesn't count as that more often than not is still be an easy way to make a quick buck.
For me, they spent the first three years getting us ready to go big and the following two years desperately trying to wind that back in, and why?!
They say it's about putting the squad first financially but I'm sorry but we all know that money spent on infrastructure is (mostly) exempt from ffp? We also know that the only way to compete with the big clubs is to emulate them and yet we stopped doing that the day that we started releasing key staff to save the pennies.
Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for what Fosun have already achieved (and always will be) BUT I've just got to a point where I struggle to believe they are being genuine when Jeff says they are 'in it for the long term' . They are an investment company and since the realities of competing in Europe kicked in they have seemed FAR less keen to invest! As always I hope I'm wrong but as long as we are putting temporary fixes on our infrastructure then I will struggle to see it any other way!
Ps- it's been too Long for me so I have to give a shout out to the peeps I LOVE reading on here: Phil, Jas, Rated, TFG, Ard, Abbey (sorry if I've forgotten anyone) but keep it coming gents! I might not take part as much these days but I LOVE reading your guys insightful posts! ???


14.) 19 Nov 2021 06:49:50
Great to read your post bullysboy and great that you posted as haven't seen you on here for a while.?

The politics of the running of our club you will understand not really my thing but I do like reading posts about it.

Thelwell quit and left dealt the club a massive blow the covid jiminez injury Neto injury all massive unforseen huge damage to our progress.
As I say I'm not real into the running of the club behind the scenes but we aren't looking relegation fodder we are holding our own of which is good as if a fair few clubs in the premier if they had the 3 or 4 major issues I mentioned above won't imo be doing as good as us at present.
Regarding Jota I think he wanted to leave and a no brainer imo a lot better player than Traore.
Since Jota left we haven't a goalscorer or assists to match what Jota did for us.
Neto was on the way until his long term injury.
Having the most dribbles counts for nothing if nothing comes of it and an end product will win us games.
That's what we want to see wolves win.
Thefutureisoldgold,sorry if my comments on Traore,they are in no way to make you feel bad,I have been worried all week so much that I haven't posted.
I have said brilliant praise about Traore but like majority I end up frustrated at chances going begging.
I think that world class unique run agaisnt villa if he had aimed at the as he was facing the keepers left and scored I reckon at least 10 million more on his price tag maybe 20 million plus.
If he had scored that goal imo it would be remembered similar to John Barnes goal for England agaisnt Brazil.
Ray,podence half the size half his ability yet galvinesd the team and played a massive part in us beating villa when he came off the bench But I do think same as you the last few games especially palace I thought Traore was the ideal option.
Who knows what will happen in January but for me it's over a month away and I prefer to not think about it much till then.

Bullysboy you and I and the rest of us I always believe we will have our day,a day seeing wolves successful.


15.) 19 Nov 2021 11:27:36
Yes Norfolk wolf Barcelona are a huge club but don't forget he was barely 19 when he left them .


16.) 19 Nov 2021 16:07:15
Hi Ray not going to fall out with you. Just different opinions, Robbie Keane was just 17 on his debut (2 goals) but he fulfilled his potential, Adama has had 6 years after Barcelona we still wait for consistency. It appears to me he doesn’t want to be with us, at the beginning of the season he really had the appetite he put in some good performances yes we know he should have a goal or two but that was August and the transfer window was open,perhaps he was trying to impress When the window closed his game declined (just my opinion) you are right if he turned it on for 90mins every game he would not be with us. I would truly like to see him realise his immense potential.


17.) 19 Nov 2021 19:11:02
BB good to read your post its been too long.
I'd agree with pretty much all you've said Thelwell's loss for me, as I've said before was massive and caused a lot of what's happened since. I'm sad that the loss of Traore now looks inevitable which is a great shame. I still think his leaving will be a big miss for us.
Fosun, I don't know where we are going with them. Two years ago I thought it was great but whether its restrictions placed on them by China on investment abroad or what I've no idea where their motivation lies. I know they have been looking for outside investor's so maybe that's what its about. To achieve that though you need to do it on the pitch! We shall see I guess.


18.) 19 Nov 2021 19:23:11
Hi Norfolk, no intention to fall out, I respect your opinion. I do think that if rumours are to be believed Barcelona are now one of the club's interested in him which I think is significant. I have to admit he was far more effective playing on the right with Matt Docherty behind him, why they broke those pair up is beyond me. Really hard game tomorrow would love to see Traore start and give us a big lift.


19.) 19 Nov 2021 21:09:32
Hi Ray cheers, yes I hope we put in a good performance like first half v Everton,think it’s going to be tough one but yes we can do it, I think Traore will start as Trincao has been a bit disappointing of late.

Sven Botman deal completely fallen through according to Romano

Tosin Adarabioyo next player we a pushing for before deadline.

Renato Sanches. Anyone heard anythin.

Lots of Links to Sergio Olivera from Porto. It's not quite the Defensive midfielder we need. But as an all around midfield player he offers a lot more than what we have currently.

TommyTatter

 

 

15 Aug 2021 22:01:52
Two well know journalists two well touted players. Varying accuracy in the stories they have dropped previously but you never know.

Ekrem Konur one of them

Sergio Olivera coming in. this one actually ticks quite a few boxes albeit probably not the defensive minded midfielder we may need

And the yearly links to Amadou Diawara have resurfaced quite a lot. From Roma.

TommyTatter

1.) 16 Aug 2021 02:48:40
Not sure why we played better in the second half and whether Dendonker for Moutinho was a factor. I, personally, think Neves plays better when Moutinho is not his midfield partner. He appears to defer to Moutinho when he plays alongside him but takes on greater responsibility when he is the senior central midfielder. I think Moutinho has been brilliant over past three seasons but despite his unfailing enthusiasm and amazing capacity to get up and down the field, his impact on the game is diminishing rapidly. He needs to move to a slower paced game, wherever that may be and create an opening for us to bring in a deeper lying player to partner Neves. Don’t understand our reluctance to bid for Palhina, who looks an ideal partner for Neves.
I think holding on to Traore is key at least until Neto returns. If he and Podence are back late September they will provide loads of attacking options alongside Jimenez, Silva, Traore, Tincao and MGW, not forgetting Ait Nouri if he is being converted to an attacking midfielder.
My six penny worth on Otasowie is to keep him and get him involved as much as possible. He has attributes none of our other midfielders have.


2.) 16 Aug 2021 03:19:19
Wanted to comment on Kilman. Great performance yesterday but one which has been coming for a long time. He is a real defender. He is the only one of our defenders who keeps his eye on the ball when charging down a shot. All the others and many in other teams turn their back and inadvertently deflect the ball, wrong footing the keeper. Not Kilman; he faces the ball when it is being driven at goal and is then able to react to defend it.

Yesterday he showed a real turn of foot when driving forward into space which is something which we need to be able to do, especially with a back three. Wins more than his fair share of headers in attacking areas but needs to improve on the end product. Could be a 5+ goals a season player if he worked on his finishing, At present he is a poor man’s Harry Maguire, which is a no bad starting point!
Build his self belief and confidence and we are going to have one hell of an asset.


3.) 16 Aug 2021 19:13:04
I agree kilman was man of the match for me on Saturday from a wolves point of view he’s obviously comfortable with the ball at his feet and made some outstanding challenges he is getting better and better.

I can't disagree with that bullys

Just feel with not getting European football the pool of players we draw players from will change.

I'd love a Palhinha or Sanches they seem more unlikely without that extra pull. I hope I'm wrong. Another one was Kondogbia from Atleti

Going back to the champ days someone to complement a Neves type. You do look for someone in the mould of an Alfred Ndidye to provide the balance. Especially in a two.

Will be an interesting summer for sure.

He wouldn't be a bad signing by a long stretch. Definitely feels like a rumour that starts by someone saying who they think we should sign. pundit types ect.

It's a massive summer for sure. Deals will be done in lots of areas I'd bet

Neves can't leave for anything less than the 50milion mark for me. Tbh it could well be the summer he leaves.

He's been an incredible servant, but he does need to be playing Champions League football.

Think we'd all love him to stay forever. Not realistic. This summer would also be ideal to get the best price.
