Use our rumours form to send us wolves transfer rumours.

Why are we so quiet in the transfer window, when we clearly need to improve so many positions. We have to go for some quality players, so that if we do get relegated, then we can come right up. Players like Kaishu Sano (Mainz), Thierry Correia (Valencia), Abdul Fatawu (Leceister), Anis Mehmeti (bristol)

On a brighter note the baggies sacked there manager lol

Agree0 Disagree0

That’s not a brighter note. Mason was doing a really good job and I’m disappointed they’ve git rid of him.
Mind you I’m tempted to apply for the vacancy, I reckon I could do an even better job. 😉

Why are Wolves keeping so quiet in the transfer window? We know we always get raided at the end and then we don't get time to get quality transfers. We need a new gk, rwb, winger, midfielder and maybe even a striker if Larsen leaves. But we are so quiet. The only rumour I have heard about is Kalvin Phillips to Wolves, and I think it is a really bad move.

Probably working on an alternative to Jeff Shi's transfer plans now he's gone Adam. That of course was to sell off anyone that would fetch a decent price then spend the last week of the window buying anyone that would come.

I still think this window may surprise a few, not so much by who they buy in but more by who doesn't leave. One or two either way max, imo.

06 Jan 2026 18:22:33
Kalvin Phillips bad trainer evidently doesn’t want to put the work in!

Should go in for West Hams Callum Wilson he would be a good signing

07 Jan 2026 18:13:29
Certainly be a test of character, commitment, strength and belief this evening - especially after last night’s result.I agree with RE that we would not want to be investing in players if the positive attitudes of the squad continue to improve .We also have a decent group of players who will be returning soon.

A few new players in during the summer (once we know which players are leaving) and we will have a solid foundation in the EFL to bring us success and immediate promotion to Premiership. We now need patience and remain 100% behind the manager and the team. COYW

Does everyone think we should stick to the same team for tomorrow v Everton?

Just read that Hwang and Joao should be fit, and hopefully the weather allows the match to go ahead.
Can’t believe I am happy to include Hwang after weeks and months of very poor performances.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2026 16:29:02
Well it was a winning formula so I would stick with it----- for now.

06 Jan 2026 16:38:25
Have a really good feeling about tomorrow's game, think we are on the up, and they seem to be struggling. Winning breeds confidence, and don't tinker with a winning side

06 Jan 2026 23:50:43
Strongly agree we should stick to same team it would be fair reward to the lads who got first win and did at times look somewhere near a premier team though still with frailties. But if they get used to the same line up it should only improve them but do think it will end up as a 2v2 draw

Nuno has told Callum Wilson to find a new club be a good signing for Wolves always looked good when he has played at Molineux against us.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2026 12:07:07
Callum Wilson? Who knows, maybe he could find his touch again like Danny Welbeck did at Brighton? Home grown, probably a free transfer. What works well at Brighton is having a veteran player like Welbeck, showing the youngsters some old scoring skills. I imagine Mane could learn from Wilson.

06 Jan 2026 14:36:48
Sorry, but NO

06 Jan 2026 14:59:47
Be a good option knows the league and on his day knows where the net is but it needs to be a loan with a option to buy.

06 Jan 2026 15:15:12
I think he’s had his contract terminated rko, I wouldn’t say no to him on a pay ad you play type deal, and if he stays fit I would rather have him coming off the bench than Larsen

06 Jan 2026 15:41:06
People said 'no' to Danny Welbeck, and he rediscovered his scoring touch. Callum Wilson, on a pay-per-play deal, could be interesting.

06 Jan 2026 16:42:15
If wilson could stay fit.hed be a handful in the championship but would he want to play ther.if we wer to go down🤣

05 Jan 2026 23:16:08
Talk about being in the right place at the right time, I wasn’t expecting anything behind the goal in the Stan Cullis (North Bank) to see all goals! Reminded me of Millenium Stadium against Sheffield Utd 😁

All the team played well with just a weaker side once subs were made. I’m also holding my hands up to all you Sa supporters. He was magnificent and braved all the crosses that came in with strength and a mission! Why couldn’t he (and the rest of the team) play like that all the time? What’s changed?

I’m not knocking it but I’m just hoping ‘times a changing!’

Maybe a certain Silva coming in as part of the coaching team has helped, it's no coicidence we've been better since he came in.

06 Jan 2026 13:35:13
I made that point in an earlier post Rated. Nuno always acknowledged the contribution of his coaching staff and it can't be a coincidence that the upturn in performances coincided with Silva's arrival.

05 Jan 2026 19:45:37
So it seems Lima has been bought back to be integrated into the first team not sold, it’s looking like hoever or Jackson are on the way out, more likely hoever in my opinion as his contract is up at the end of the season so I reckon they will try and get some sort of fee for him rather than nothing at the end of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jan 2026 21:30:04
Yes, I saw that report too. Let's see what happens.

05 Jan 2026 18:09:26
Have I gone mad or is the football industry out of control! Man Utd sack their manager or is it head coach - league position 6th Chelsea have done the same -league position 5th. Celtic now have joined in - league position 2nd. Just proves what a crazy business football has become all three clubs will have paid out millions to end contracts and will pay out milllions to secure their new managers/head coach as well as millions in compensation to the former clubs.

Then there is the change over of three sets of back room staff including the ones employed to tell millionaire players how to take a corner and a throw in that could be at least 30 people.

All this in an industry where most clubs make massive losses every year but an industry where there seems to be no shortage of experienced business men/organisations looking to invest. I have been thinking for the last 20 years football will implode as none of this makes any sense but the football juggernaut keeps rolling on!

That was a very interesting post Major. Thank you.

05 Jan 2026 18:41:45
You're not on your own thinking that Major Frank, maybe there's more to some of these sackings than just poor performances on the pitch.

Sometimes personalities, fallings out, etc also play their part but you're right some of them make little sense. As for football finances, don't ask.

05 Jan 2026 19:17:27
It will indeed implode at some point major Frank, and notably from silly sackings etc.
VAR and TV company's with their KO timings etc will drive the local club supporter away eventually and the atmosphere love and attraction will be lost at root level.
It'll be celebrity striker week or something.

The clubs are already losing identity in the clamour to take more money by different coloured change/away shirts.
I hate watching the old gold parading in neon blue, violet flush or whatever they label them.

Wolves wear old gold unless it's a colour clash, which isn't that often for us, bit it's the clubs identity being slowly eroded.

Get rid of the 'big teams' to their desired super leagues, or cap expenditure on players and squad size. kick off at the same times and get some degree of level playing field.

The manager situation is money for nothing if they're on the circuit, no pride loyalty or dedication .
It's money money money and sod the paying fan., because once we're broken it'll never be mended.

It's a have and have not league now, not football as we knew it, buy the team from the smaller financially well off and sod em.

Happy new year!

05 Jan 2026 20:51:07
I'm not sure how you take the excess money out of the game which seems to be at the root of all of this, maybe a gradual cap on TV revenue, but allow unlimited gate receipts and matchday revenue. Hopefully this would slowly move the game back towards the fans.

05 Jan 2026 21:19:01
Thanks for the replies Cashinblack, Longmyndwolf and Abbeywolf and happy new year. I agree on the clash of personalities being a factor and they have been debating this very topic on Radio 5 tonight. It seems that Directors of football now want the shout on all signings and formations so that makes them the manager in my book but they are low profile and don’t seem to get the flak for bad performances. If they want this level of influence then surely they have to appoint a head coach they get on with and have similar views on formations and style of football.

If in Chelsea, Man Utd and Celtic’s case they can’t work together then surely this is the director of footballs fault he must have interviewed the head coach and should equally take the blame for bad performances.

All seems crazy to me especially when I started supporting the wolves you had Bill McGarry manager and Sammy Chung who should of been paid a fortune as he seemed to be assistant, trainer and ran on with the bucket and sponge. Now there seems to be a whole army of backroom staff and the football is definitely less enjoyable.

I agree on the have and have nots Abbey and feel that the influx of American owners will start to push for a super league with no relegations as in American football to protect their investment. The worry is if they then cut funding to the teams outside this league which could be us then football as we have known it will change forever.

05 Jan 2026 21:49:33
Excellent thread.
Not sure there is too much money - most teams lose bucket loads so more not less would help.

However perhaps some control over its distribution and expenditure might both stop so many teams losing money - allegedly the idea behind FFP and its successor - and make the game more about football than money.
A broader distribution of the money - i.e. less to the big 6 or 7 and more to other teams, (perhaps even across all of the leagues) - and maybe a US sport like salary cap or tighter squad size restriction that would stop the big teams using their financial muscle to hoover up all the talent would do wonders for the game.


Greater protection for the smaller teams in respect of losing youngsters for free or nominal sums would also be good for everyone including probably most of the youngsters most of whom of course are simply discarded by the big teams ruining their careers.
But does the "money" care about the wider game and would the bigger teams agree to something/anything that takes away their inbuilt advantages?

06 Jan 2026 08:19:32
Sadly the answers are NO to the last questions asked Tfig, the money makers only care about one thing, keep it alive until they've sqeezed every last penny, and then dump it until such time as interest can be mustered again.
Footballs ruined and further damage with tinkering to the spectacle and overload of competition (s) will saturate and lose the average fan.
Take the carabou/fa cups, no replays at the detriment to smaller clubs, where a lucrative draw against higher placed clubs could be a life saver.


Now you'll get a big 6 teams reserves, battle a draw and even if you win on the night via pens you javnt got the big money a replay would give, you go through most prob to a lower team which wouldn't provide the same income.
It devalues our home competition to ensure European teams and media get the cut.

06 Jan 2026 09:11:14
Excellent thread, thanks to all contributors, made good reading over breakfast. The top clubs have virtually controlled the game to the detriment of the rest with loyal fans seeing their interests sidelined. No replays, serving the big clubs with congested fixtures as they play in absurd leagues for European qualification and bigger games than a replay at Barnsley. Makes you wonder. Should we have let the top 6 join that Euro league? Would the smaller clubs have got back to a more traditional game with cup replays, Saturday 3 pm kos, and the ability to nurture young players protected from clubs sweeping up talent with huge numbers on loan in Europe.

In reality I believe money will call the tune as ever, if you have the rules changed regularly to prevent what The Mancs, Chelsea etc have already done then beating one of the top 6 will be all clubs like Wolves can realistically aspire to.
