Alex Telles has become a free agent a left back might be worth a look for Wolves.
{Ed007's Note - Players need to be free agents during the relevant FA's window to be able to sign for a team in that FA.
So for Wolves to sign any free agent he would need to have been a free agent before 11 p.m on Friday there.}
1.) 02 Sep 2024 23:03:35
According to transfermarkt website, best left back available for free is ex Man Utd Brandon Williams or Layvin Kurzawa (think we were linked with him a few years ago!) So not much out there.
And Matip and Hummels the best centre halves!
Think we're stuck as we are now!
2.) 03 Sep 2024 09:42:49
Did u see wer van basten doesn't rate forbs as a prem player and will end up back at ajax?.
3.) 03 Sep 2024 08:47:08
Oh well it was worth a comment thanks for the info ED.
{Ed007's Note - You're welcome mate ????
10 Jul 2023 15:22:47
Hearing we may be resigning Matt Doherty who is a free agent and JL has given the go ahead.
1.) 10 Jul 2023 15:38:59
Not a wholly inspiring proposition but we've recruited worse.
2.) 10 Jul 2023 16:32:49
He was ok in the his last season for us worked best when we played a back 3 alwsys managed to pop up and grab a few goals but I can't see us going back to that as it seems lopetegui prefers a back 4. Might not be bad on a free
3.) 10 Jul 2023 16:43:04
Nothing against doc on a free, but won't be expecting the playing form of old. Cover for samedo at a price? Or selling samedo for profit? Be nice to have both, although docs had his day I reckon.
4.) 10 Jul 2023 18:00:59
At least Docs will give Semedo something to think about and make him work harder to keep his position. I for one will be glad to see him back in a Wolves shirt ???
5.) 10 Jul 2023 18:40:34
A backward step, he may be Ona free but I’d rather develop a younger player
6.) 10 Jul 2023 19:21:37
Didn't Doherty say that he wanted to leave? He did and just because he wasn't a success at either Spurs or Atletico does not mean we should welcome him back with open arms. He was pretty disrespectful to us when he left so let him wallow without a club.
7.) 10 Jul 2023 20:17:38
I think Docs time has passed, we need to move forward not reinvest in old war dogs.
8.) 10 Jul 2023 20:19:59
He couldn't get out of the door quick enough when Spurs came knocking.
9.) 10 Jul 2023 22:39:48
I'd rather see Lembiska given a chance.
However his experience would help as we may play 3 at the back away from home or to hold onto wins.
10.) 11 Jul 2023 06:27:31
If lopetegui wants him then I accept no problem.
11.) 11 Jul 2023 06:45:18
Phil, I am the same.
What would be best bring in Doughty just for wages (cheap backup), sell Semedo and bring in a decent first choice RB.
Records:
Doughty (31): Premier League 119 games 11 goals 17 assists
Semedo (29): Premier League 95 games 1 goals 3 assists
Semedo needs moving on!
12.) 11 Jul 2023 08:59:57
RugeleyWolf, I fully understand where your coming from with the stats but you can't really compare the 2 players as they played in different teams with different styles. Semedo was brought in so that Nuno could change the style of play and we were defensively stronger.
13.) 11 Jul 2023 11:16:21
I’m with you RugeleyWolf and I think JL might well be looking at a revamp of a tired and leaking defence this season. We need a younger, fitter and more complete defender as our right back for the new season than either Semedo or Doherty.
14.) 11 Jul 2023 11:35:49
Sorry Jas, we differ a little on this.I thought Semedo was brought in as an attacking RB in a "Back 5" setup?
He is certainly not a strong defensive RB, positionally poor and lacks strength in tackles (see his stats of lost tackles).
The problem is he has been exposed as asked to play in a 4 and he is not that player.
I am not impressed with him as a forward option either!
Paying £30+m for him was grossly irresponsible.
One of the most obvious positions to sort. Though don't see Doughty as more than a backup option.
15.) 11 Jul 2023 12:32:41
I suspect he'll be a squad player. Hoever started in Portugal so JL clearly thinks he's worth giving a chance at the moment. If he can -i know its if- make the grade Doc would be a back up with Semedo maybe sold. Let's see.
16.) 11 Jul 2023 19:37:17
My brain is too addled to remember if I’m honest, but wasn’t Doherty sold at a time when Nuno was toying with moving to a back 4 to push us on? Either way, if JLo is considering him, perhaps he’s thinking of an alternative formation to the 4-4-2 in certain matches/situations.
17.) 13 Jul 2023 14:31:02
How dare a player leave for higher wages!
11 Jan 2023 12:32:44
Just been stated on Sky that Felipe will be joining Wolves in the next couple of days that is according to a Spanish expert.
1.) 11 Jan 2023 16:20:46
Yes Baza him and Felipe by all accounts. I wonder if we still want Dawson?
2.) 11 Jan 2023 17:03:31
Sorry, him and Lemina that should have read.
3.) 11 Jan 2023 18:36:59
If we have senior left to right of Samedo, Collins, Killman, Rayan. with youngsters Lembikisa, Mosquera, Toti, Bueno plus additional expericed cover in Jonny and Felipe and with Hoever, Sanderson and Bolla all contracted. we really do have a lot of defenders! And that's assuming Coady has gone. because Everton could go down at this rate.
However the names that excited me that we were linked to were Souttar who was unbelievable at the World Cup and Wan-Bissaka who in think has growth in him. They would be cracking additions if potentially stifling the academy grads chances.
We have been linked to all sorts of defenders this window haven't we. Pau Torres, Manuel Ugarte, Tesco Dawson, Ivan Fresneda Nacho, Javi Sanchez, David Garcia, Marcos Acuna. the clickbaits have done a great job with imagination because all these seem new as previously they recycle the clickbaits from years gone by like Botman and Caleta-Car.
I remember back in my Premier League Sticker Days with Bould, Adams, Keown, Winterburn, Dixon how Arsenal had this great defence that they could just rest and rotate. Imagine if we could build something similar.
4.) 11 Jan 2023 18:57:17
Lets hope with all of those defenders we will be keeping a lot of clean sheets.
5.) 12 Jan 2023 10:32:41
Gdawg - interesting and thought provoking post.
6.) 12 Jan 2023 21:15:48
If Everton go down,can we refuse to take Coady back? I think he'd like it in the Championship in his hometown.
30 Dec 2022 09:32:04
Today is the day if we are to believe some of the so called in the know people, two new signings should be announced.
1.) 30 Dec 2022 09:58:55
It's almost too quiet.
I think somethings going on.
Wouldn't be surprised if anything was announced tomorrow.
Remember as well we have a lot of games coming up Man U, Villa, Liverpool, Forest and west ham over 14 days.
We need as many points as possible from the league games. And a win in the league Cup would be nice.
2.) 30 Dec 2022 10:31:48
Can the ITK poster confirm if the medicals have happened? Or should we wait to hear from the official channels?
3.) 30 Dec 2022 14:31:46
The only thing the ITK posters know are the prices of a kebab in their local chippy.
4.) 30 Dec 2022 22:39:07
From our latest ITK poster (went straight to the banter page)
“ ? told to expect announcement late tomorrow early on the 1st . 2 deals
Happy New year
All
Happy days for
All
Debbie I can't name my source”
5.) 01 Jan 2023 14:04:45
Well we're halfway through Jan 1st and we've not heard of a signing so maybe all our itk posters really aren't itk at all
30 Aug 2022 09:36:03
Deal done for Sasa Kaladidzic medical.
Cutrone gone, Boly on the way out.
1.) 30 Aug 2022 18:47:29
Plus Adama to spurs,

30 Aug 2024 15:57:02
It seems GON is not to happy with the signings we are making and he said he will have to adapt our playing system to suit, it is a bit worrying.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 17:54:59
Like Lope and Lage before him! Seems to be a consistent theme around this time of year for every manager since Nuno I'm afraid ?
2.) 30 Aug 2024 20:21:25
Where did that info come from Baza? A man down the pub or walking his dog in the Park?
3.) 30 Aug 2024 21:04:45
Fromewolf. Details are readily available on newsnow articles!
4.) 30 Aug 2024 21:26:03
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometime you'll find you get what you need.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 21:33:46
So he has his plans and they don't pan out but instead they get Messi and then he complains that the has to change his style to accommodate him.
He's got some good players and he has to figure out how to use them best.
May turn out that they work out better.
27 Aug 2024 10:18:58
I know a lot of fans are concerned after the last couple of results and the lack of transfers, but I hope we all still get behind the players and the manager when they are on the pitch. we are not getting any information from our owners which is very annoying, but I have supported this club for 65 years and owners have come and gone and the club and the fans will always be there.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 11:22:02
We are doomed for relegation, getting rid of our best players and not replacing them! I was hoping for a good season but looks very unlikely. I just can’t understand why they are doing this?
2.) 27 Aug 2024 11:47:04
I'll support them no matter what but I'm disappointed that with 72 hours to go, we look no closer to strengthening the squad. Surely players should have been identified months ago and talks with clubs, players and agents ongoing in the background ready for pre season or before the season kicked off.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 12:03:22
Trouble is Baza you'll see the word 'hope' used a lot by fans because that's all we been left with in recent times. I'm beginning to wonder if Fosun use FFP/PSR as an excuse, especially as none of the teams that have ignored it have actually got relegated as a result of points deductions, whereas some that have obeyed the rules have. Who's the fool?
Many teams in the Prem, in truth, are flirting with FFP breaches, but they don't seem to need to asset strip the squad to get around it, so why do we? As TFIOG pointed out why do we have declining revenues but significantly increase numbers of non playing staff, but the squad is kept cut to the bone.
Like you I've been a Wolves fan for 60 plus years but Wolves aware for a bit longer being a child in the 1950's, so I've seen it all over that. From being voted the best team in the world by the foreign media to Division 4 and possible bankruptcy. Why do none of our owners seem capable of releasing the full potential of this club again?
4.) 27 Aug 2024 12:12:02
Absolutely Baza, old gold til I die no matter who owns us, no matter who plays for us. No matter what league or where. I reserve my right to be disappointed or concerned.
All we want is some honest explanation that we can understand from the club and for them to perhaps be up front about things, ahead of the clickbait Rubbish were left with .
5.) 27 Aug 2024 13:52:50
Baza - great post!
Like many on here I have been following Wolves for a long time. In my case since the mid 1960s, long before Jeff, (including standing on the terraces with a few hundred at various grounds in the lower leagues in the mid/late 80s!) and God willing will still be following Wolves long after he is gone.
Actually to be fair Fosun have done us proud getting us and keeping us to/in the Prem, an FA cup semi and a European quarter! However and this is the bit that is hard to stomach/understand is that by entrusting the club to Jeff after Seville they have undone all of that good work, as well as of course, as they may well find out sooner rather than later, lost several hundred million pounds in value from where we were pre Seville!
I just don't understand as I strongly suspect is the also the case with Fosun!
{Ed001's Note - did Graham Turner actually become your owner at one point?}
6.) 27 Aug 2024 13:57:54
Sorry to say not just GON but ALL of us have been duped by Shi and Fosun. The money no object has turned to we can’t spend due to PSR rules enter Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle, West Ham all seem to be spending and getting round it! The reality is Fosun are a profit making company and are now stripping us to the bone. How many transfer windows have we waited for players now but just seen them go? And why does no one want to put money in while Fosun are there? What are they doing to put people off. We are still a club with massive potential as the ground has never been finished and could bring in big revenue. I hope I’m wrong about the lack of signings but I just can’t see it. Ipswich have signed 11 (eleven new players) Forest are STILL signing players for big money, we’re spending 4.2mil on an 18 year old. We’ve won 1 of 14 premier league games, GON needs help Fosun/Shi so invest or find someone that will please!
7.) 27 Aug 2024 14:53:36
Forest have actually bought a player and loaned him out to the owners other club in Greece! Just happens to be a central defender who we were apparently interested in, Carmo from Porto. Amazing that we are struggling and they can be so generous, maybe they could buy us one to borrow!
8.) 27 Aug 2024 15:48:11
I thought carmo was still in the offing and it was another CB that's loaned. Apologies if I've got that wrong Ken68.
9.) 27 Aug 2024 16:30:12
No Abbey that's what's happened. Forest did that deal. How generous of them!
10.) 27 Aug 2024 17:10:28
Wasn't it Ken? Thanks for clarifying.
11.) 27 Aug 2024 17:18:53
Just looked again Ken, they've signed carmo, in their squad and tramescor (?) Loaned to olympiakos. We were linked with both.
12.) 27 Aug 2024 17:45:21
Totally agree Longmynd Wolf same here, my opinion is that FFP is just a smokescreen
13.) 28 Aug 2024 08:00:46
we are told matt hobbs is a wolves lad players lined up its jeff shi / owners that have let us down again I fear the worst
10 Aug 2024 17:44:42
Just watched the boys and I have to say I was expecting a lot more from them. I saw some of the same problems from last season, slow to bring the ball out from the back and failing to see the forward runs that were being made and our goalkeeper being easily beaten because of him being in a poor position. Let us hope we will be bringing in a couple of signings.
1.) 10 Aug 2024 19:10:33
Same here Baza. Disappointing result and disappointing performance. Again seemed to run out of ideas in the last third. Not sure what anyone got out of that especially regarding next week's team selection. Not even sure what we had on the pitch at the final whistle, just eleven individuals trying to put something together. A bit worrying because they weren't great either. Need to be significantly better next W/E or we'll be beaten easily.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 19:37:51
I tried watching on wolves tv baza, it was difficult as it buffered so much but I agree, it was something of a let down after the US performances. We seemed slow to build up and the runs up front mainly pointless as they weren't being fed. Sa was caught out for the goal, but I think we all were. (Noted bently wasn't on the bench today), there some positive moments but it was difficult to become enthused with a slow slow quick quick slow showing. We'll need a vast improvement to save embarrassment at arsenal I'm afraid.
3.) 10 Aug 2024 19:49:03
Yep, an underwhelming performance and whilst it was only a friendly the performance lacked cohesion and a cutting edge much as it did last season. As much as we would like to see some new faces coming in I doubt that we are going to unearth someone who will prove to be the catalyst that will set this team on fire. Early days but the first few matches are going to be tough so let's see what improvements need to be made once we have a few matches under our belt.
4.) 10 Aug 2024 20:01:01
Wouldn't disagree baza they looked a bit sluggish and devoid of attacking intent. To me it looked like one team was getting stuck in and treated it like a competitive game whereas for the other, it was just a friendly.
Let's hope that's all it was, just one point our new number 9 will need better service as he seems to lack the kind of pace that Jimenez could call on. We missed Cunha pulling the attacking strings today, imo.
5.) 10 Aug 2024 20:53:09
Gives me a bad feeling about coming season. No one seemed capable of that little bit of magic that can turn a game, that left when Neto went. Still they made a nice few quid on him.
6.) 10 Aug 2024 21:25:35
Sad to say wer probly going to start the ssn with the same starying11 as last ssn.maybe gomes will feature.and looks like wev got another non goalscoring fwd in larson.how many has he scored now.oh yeh none.desperate for a quality cb.and replacement for neto and an actual goalscorer.why havnt we got replacements lined up k nowing full well we could possibly need them.all optimism for the new ssn quickly diminishing i'm afraid.remember lage started the ssn how we finished the previous1.if gon does the same that new contract will be quickly ripped up
7.) 10 Aug 2024 22:59:53
I know it was the last time to impress but wonder how many wanted to make sure they didn’t get injured before the start of the season next week? Hope Mario is ok as he went straight down the tinnel holding his hammy.

Wish we could afford £80 mill
For neketia, nelson, and smith Rowe
3.) 19 Jul 2024 18:00:54
Offer them Neto plus £20m?
4.) 19 Jul 2024 18:44:27
£80 for them 3. Are you having a laugh?
What are they valued at individually?
£30m for all 3 maybe, but £80m. Get out of town.
5.) 19 Jul 2024 23:03:52
Grey I am not sure if are you being serious?
If they joined our current squad I don't see any of them making the first team and thus obviously are worth nothing like £80m?
Smith Rowe whilst extremely promising 3 years ago has barely played over the last two years and seems to have lost his way and Nelson similarly is in his mid 20s has also barely played in the Prem and produces modest results when he does. Eddie N on the other is I accept a genuine prospect (although also in his mid 20s!) and worth looking at but he is not in the same bracket as Neto (or Cunha) who is a game changer at Prem league level now.
Whilst I wouldn't willingly do the deal if Neto was forcing the move to Arseanl and this was the "only offer" I would want £30m, £40m or even £50m plus the 3 for Neto. I also fear that their wages would be stupidly high for squad players!
Neto surely should be viewed in line with the other top players in the Prem as, (other than ironically at Arsenal were Saka probably would hold him put of the team and at Liverpool where Salah at least for the next season or so would as well), he would not just walk into the first 11s of most sides he would be amongst their better players, (might be best at Spurs and in arguement at Man U and Chelsea)
Is he not a class above Anthony or Mudryk or Grealish or Richarlison etc etc?

Looking forward to listening to all the vloggers eating a bit of humble pie regarding Sarabia, just needed some time and a chance.
1.) 13 Nov 2023 02:55:45
He's very talented but we also thought he'd turned the corner after his audacious appearance in the cup.and then normal service resumed again.
But I'd love nothing more than to see him finally come good now. His numbers in Spain and Portugal don't lie, he could be the real deal if GON can get the best from him.
2.) 14 Nov 2023 09:35:13
Hi baza Lupii, I agree he's obviously a quality player, when he cut through the middle of Spurs he reminded me of Jota!and the finish was fantastic, If GON can work his magic on him and get him performing consistently could be a top player for us.
20 Nov 2024 08:17:40
At least give the bloke a chance.

Wow what a performance from Gary and the boys, I hope the doom and glom merchants will give it a rest for awhile.
29 Jul 2024 08:53:59
Looking good so far, I enjoyed the game and it will be interesting when all the boys are back. Spare a thought for Enso Gonzalez a bad injury at such a young age, but I know he will be well looked after at Wolves.

Very lucky to win let hope Southgate learns from this.
