Nuno has reservations about signing new contract due to availability of transfer funds. I sense all is not well behind the scenes. Its all rather worrying.
1.) 31 Aug 2020 08:03:16
Nuno would currently be high on many clubs wish list but at this time there will be few jobs available.
But when the sacking season starts he will be gone.
2.) 31 Aug 2020 09:24:26
Some of shoukd go into being a Spiritualist doing palm readings.
"I Sense this, I Sence that"
Sorry Guys but it's just Guess work just like Most of the Media, Guess work.
Wolves for the last 4-5 years have not released any info about Transfers until players hold that shirt.
You can Sense what you like but l have faith in my team, l'm not a bed wetter.

Mirror football shows how full of bs they are by quoting £40million for Traore when Wolves themselves have said £100million.
4.) 31 Aug 2020 15:10:14
Just a thought. Are fosun deliberately holding back on transfers, so that Nuno quits 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔, because they ain't arriving.
5.) 31 Aug 2020 15:29:19
£40m is 40% of £100m. We recently accepted less than 40% of Doherty's market value so obviously everyone including the Mirror now think Wolves are 1) desperate sellers or 2) fools
I wrote elsewhere that this deal sets a v dangerous precedent and we are now starting all negotiations both sales and purchases on the back foot.
I simply don't understand this. People are arguing the Fosun have lost interest and are asset stripping but that makes no sense at all. If Fosun want to cash in and make a big profit they could simply sell the club at a v large profit over the price they paid for it plus their investment to date. Selling the company's assets at a huge discount destroys value and if the performance on the pitch reverses value is destroyed even faster. Championship clubs are worth tens of millions- top half of prem teams are worth 100s of millions
The only thought is that Doherty has broken club rules (something v serious? ) and that Wolves want him out sharpish or because of the serious nature of his offence ( what could it be) he is no longer an attractive asset for many clubs but Spurs are willing to over look it at a price- all v bizarre?
6.) 31 Aug 2020 16:00:58
I disagree The futureisoldgold.
Fosun always do a deal to the benefit of wolves.
Everyone said that Costa and Cav was a good deal. Fosun got 10m extra as both clubs were promoted.
Doherty went for an undisclosed amount. I'd imagine Spurs wanted something in the contract in case they need to play Aurier. I reckon Doherty cost £25m after there could be no swap with spurs players. Lamela and Aurier were linked. Also it will be based on European games, Cup games, winning a trophy over his contract. Wolves will gain in the end one way or another.
7.) 31 Aug 2020 16:21:57
I really hope you are right! But for an undisclosed price £15m is pretty widely reported.
fingers crossed.
25 Jan 2020 13:05:57
Fosuns ambition is beginning to concern me. We have not really improved our first eleven in two windows now (with maybe only podence coming in this one) We are in a good position still. But I feel Nuno as not been supported well enough. This season was a real opportunity to push and get into the top 4. I don't see it happening but hope i'm proved wrong. Something has seriously changed in Fosuns mentality in their approach to transfers.
You can't expect to continually get players below market value as we have done previously with the likes of moutinho. At some point you have to start thinking big and occasionally pay the big fee a player commands. They seem to think that buying u23 players will get us somewhere. By the time they come good, the likes of Jiminez and Traore will be sold and long gone. can't see them sticking around if their ambition is not matched. You can put Nuno on that list too. Then I see only one thing happening - a slide downward maybe even back to the championship.
1.) 25 Jan 2020 13:57:11
2 words for you my friend. Have faith.
2.) 25 Jan 2020 14:53:28
Siding with Jas on this one. Look at the bigger picture. This squad held together will challenge for the champions league for years to come. And they are only going to get better.
Of course if we lose a Neves or an Adama, then we will have to act. Nothing is broken let's not try fix anything before it needs to be.
I also think the academy is going to be the finest in the prem with what they have coming through.
This Fosun tenure is still in its early stages and very much ahead of schedule.
To be sceltical is normal. Learnt as a fan of the club to enjoy the moment while it lasts. Same with any club I'm afraid.
3.) 25 Jan 2020 15:29:30
Vinagre, Kilman, Gibbs-White all youngsters pushing for a place so perhaps the investment in youth does have a purpose.
4.) 25 Jan 2020 15:39:47
Wlvs82 - Podence looks to be on his way for 30 Million so I don't know what you're on about saying Fosun aren't backing us. It takes time for fosun to be able to spend millions more than the club makes in revenue at the moment because of FFP. We have to build slowly. Jimenez and Adama going nowhere at the moment for sure they definitely appear to be aligned with Nuno and plans.
5.) 25 Jan 2020 15:42:41
Sorry but I totally agree with Wlvs82. There will be a fire sale in the summer with the likes of Jimenez
Traore and probably Nuno gone. This is because Fosun are no longer interested, partly because of the slowing Chinese economy and sweeping virus, but partly because of a total unwillingness to invest. Poor transfer windows, change of policy in redevelopment of Molineux, the sacking of Dalrymple are just some of the factors. You have to look at the whole picture. trouble is on here you get accused of being negative and not a Wolves fan.
6.) 25 Jan 2020 15:58:41
SQ - slowing Chinese economy? Fosun are based in Hong Kong, a simple Google of the word conglomerate would clear that up. And some nonsense about a virus? Your Baggies Chinese based owners failed like Villas and Birmingham’s. This is classic projection. You’re top of the championship and currently beating West Ham, be happy.
7.) 25 Jan 2020 16:13:05
Not really sure where this lack of investment by Fosun this season comes from. Our net spend since the end of last season is approximately £87 mill. Less what ever we got for personrone. So as a minimum £70 odd mill. Plus what ever we sign in next few days. How is this lack of investment.
8.) 25 Jan 2020 17:04:09
Apart from Gibbs-rubbish, I mean white, the youth are improving. Where do you think we're going to sign a multi million pound proven striker in january?
9.) 25 Jan 2020 17:05:40
Debb9e . You need to get a life and start looking at things properly. For a start stop accusing me of being a fan of other clubs because I try to see the bigger picture. Try this one for size, there were 52,000 ar St James Park for Newcastle against Oxford. Why? Because their fans know they are about to taken over by a Saudi Arabian royal family linked to the Man City owners. Another club we will fall behind. Fosun won't be able to compete with. Also they maybe in Hongkong but they are Chinese, controlled by Chinese and global markets.
10.) 25 Jan 2020 17:12:34
SQ, do you ever read your posts before you press send?
You get accused of negativity because that is all you spout!
Your life must be pretty sad and depressing pal. Try some yoga or meditation buddy, or just sing loudly in the shower - just don't sing The Smiths and stay away from the knife drawer!
11.) 25 Jan 2020 17:43:22
Exeter . Still no proper analysis just shots across the bow.
12.) 25 Jan 2020 17:54:39
SQ - Fosun are based in Hong Kong and therefore have no ties to the Chinese economy, they’re a conglomerate business which means they have many different business that may or may not be interlinked - which don’t depend on the Chinese economy. What’s this about Newcastle being taken over? That was let summers rumour, to say Wolves can’t compete with some fictitious Sudi or otherwise owners is ridiculous (FFP) . You’re the most negative poster on here, you’re a part of the old brigade - you were probably secretly happy when Jez Moxey was at the helm then you truly had something to bemoan. Either way I’m just going to ignore your negativity - there’s so much to be happy / grateful for regarding Fosun and how Wolves are performing. Take care.
13.) 25 Jan 2020 17:55:40
Fosun are based in Shanghai.
Did u not watch the Asia cup?
Come on guys if your going to post on here at least get your facts right.
14.) 25 Jan 2020 18:07:30
Not sure if SQ is a WUM or just negative overall now.
15.) 25 Jan 2020 17:47:48
Blimey! First time I've seen a virus cited as a reason for an owner's inactivity in the transfer market. Next we'll see the obvious distractions of a love interest being put forward. Get a grip.
16.) 25 Jan 2020 19:04:39
Dot Cotton RE: Fosun - Fosun International Limited is a Chinese conglomerate and investment company. Founded in 1992 by Guo Guangchang and four others, the company is headquartered in Shanghai and was incorporated in Hong Kong in 2004. By based I mean they trade from HK. The Shanghai International Football Tournament (SIFT) is has nothing going to do with it, the annual football event in China, organised by the municipal government of Shanghai.
17.) 25 Jan 2020 19:04:56
SQ, there were 52k at St James Park because the capacity is 52k. Likewise, at Molineux, the attendance is approx 32k because the stadium holds 32k. The Newcastle board have no intention of expanding St James Park but Fosun are looking to do so at Molineux.
{Ed001's Note - Newcastle are not getting 52k gates, which is why they are offering free half season tickets to those who already have one.}
18.) 25 Jan 2020 19:12:12
Last season we had to pay for loan-to-buys.
Look at other teams around us. January is a very tough month and after what happened to Burnley the year before I’d say many top players looked at us and thought we would struggle.
Performance this year mean we are here to stay and all going well will be in Europe for a second season in a row.
Hopefully, with all the luck in the world, we win the Europa or get top 4.
This would make us a CL team. Fosan are investing but also working hard to build our revenue stream so we are self sufficient and don’t need a sugar daddy owner to fund us.
Due to the inconsistency of Utd, Tottenham and Chelsea there is a huge chance of top 4.
19.) 25 Jan 2020 19:27:39
Wlvs82 you might want to watch Traores latest interview, he's asked about the clubs tied to him and responds by laughing and saying 'Why would I leave Wolves when I am still improving' there in lies the truth of it. The players we've got will stay provided Nuno does and they can see progress.
I do find it somewhat hilarious and infuriating in equal measure that almost every other fan in this country is blown away by the strides our club has made EXCEPT for a small handful of our OWN fans! Seriously you couldn't make it up, I've said it before sometimes you get the owners you deserve and for those complaining please take a second and ACTUALLY consider how self entitled you are making our club look! No one has a given right to even be in this League (ask Villa) and NO one has the right to expect an easy stroll into the top four!
20.) 25 Jan 2020 19:35:11
SQ, did you know that Fosun looked at purchasing AC Milan, Inter Milan as well as PSG. They didn't because these teams are already world renowned and couldn't be grown any further. They chose Wolves because of the potential and their ambition was clear: PL within 5 years and then PL winners within the next 5 years that followed. That is a 10 year plan. Phase 1 came 2 years earlier than expected. The ground expansion plans have not been shelved. Fosun are looking at a number of possibilities but the capacity will be 50k with the next 7 years. Fosun are masters at growing a brand hence why we played in pre season we did, in order to expose us to all corners of the globe. I understand your concerns but you have to understand that we are not on the same level as the likes of Man U, Man City, Liverpool etc just yet as they have a massive worldwide following which brings in extra revenue. This is what Fosun are looking to achieve too. Have faith.
21.) 25 Jan 2020 19:35:16
Best part about having SQ is it (somehow;) makes Deb's the voice of reason! Coming out with some top posts these days fella ðŸ‘.
22.) 25 Jan 2020 19:40:19
Quite right Ed, the reason they are doing the free tickets is because they have registered their lowest Prem gates this season! I can NOT believe that some are even comparing (in any light) Fosun to Ashley's circus! Try that on a Newc Utd page, good luck to ya! 🤣.
23.) 26 Jan 2020 11:25:05
rubbishd on this sight yesterday for citing the latest developments at Newcastle. Sky now stating they are in for Alcacer of whom most of you critics were linking with us. Laughable.
24.) 26 Jan 2020 11:37:48
Wlves82 I don't know what more you want? We are in our 2nd season in the prem and competing for a top 6 finish along with the knockout stages of europa. Fosuns ambition? They have given us no reason to doubt them and still continually back us. 4 months ago they opened a megastore in China and still are planning to increase our stadium and consistently say they want to be one of the biggest clubs in the world. I think u need to realise this isn't football manager and u can just spend what u want. Teams like Everton and West ham should be miles ahead of us with the amount of time they have been in the prem and how much they have spent over the years but always end up with players on 100k+ a week sitting on the bench who they struggle to get rid of. FFP is a lot more strict in Europe and at the minute our 52m loss in the championship still counts towards it. I think that's why last years prem winners man city struggled to spend in the summer even though they needed to. People want to actually question our transfer dealings and our approaches under fosun.
Patricio - 15m
Dendonker - 12m
Mountinho - 5m
Saiss - 3m
Bennett - free
Ruddy - free
Traore - 18m
Jonny - 18m
Raul - 33m
Neves - 15m
Boly - 10m
Jota - 15m
Neto - 8m
Jordao - 8m
Kilman - 500k
Every player in that list if we sold tommorow we would make money on and the fact we are keeping them every window just shows our ambition as a club. We have players in our squad getting linked with big money moves away and not one player has put a transfer request in or pushed for a move. I think that says a lot of where we are aiming to be. So stop panicking and just finding anything to be negative and cause a problem. The only problem you should have is, how you are going to afford to keep traveling away around europe following wolves. DTM.
25.) 26 Jan 2020 12:04:26
SQ, don't believe everything being reported on Sky. Remember these are the very same people would insisted that Eriksen was on the verge of signing for Man Utd but the player himself confirmed that he'd had no contact.
26.) 26 Jan 2020 12:31:21
SQ- more nonsense, I think I saw two posters conversationally say that Alcacer might be worth a punt that was it! No one stated ANYWHERE we were even in for him! As he's leaving his current club for regular starts why exactly would we even make an enquiry having just lost someone better who couldn't get in the team (Cutrone) . Add to this they haven't signed him yet BUT even if they do its because the £30m they forked out for a striker in the summer was wasted on what looks like a VERY average player! Whereas our board take there time and get it right, you can keep Alacer mate I'd have Raul over him any day of the week (as would anyone)! Funny thing is fella I kind of hope you are a wum cause I'm not sure even you can believe the complete tripe you spout these days?!
27.) 26 Jan 2020 12:39:01
SQ- you need to pick one line of nonsense and stick with it fella! Either Newc are on the verge of being bought out by the richest man in the world or they are about to sign a £30m striker which is it? Cause If you actually new what you were talking about you would know that if they were actually talking to this consortium the first thing any club does is embargo all transfers! Then there's the fact that for most buy outs that embargo will last for most of the sale (probs around a month) . Or are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that Ashley is buying the striker for the club as a leaving present?! This is why peeps assume your a rival fan cause you don't make a point you just stir the pot regardless of how entirely false you (and us) know the info is!
28.) 26 Jan 2020 13:45:16
Well said a lot of you guys. It beggars belief that there are so called fans who would question Fosun given where we are now compared to prior to their takeover. Who would prefer a return to those days? We have spent wisely and heavily for a club with low revenue. As revenue builds no doubt the bigger players can be chased, but with FFP we are limited, and given that we have still managed to buy players we could only have dreamed of 4 years ago. Stop whingeing and be very grateful.
29.) 26 Jan 2020 14:30:17
Only issue is that it's all IFS buts and maybes . let's see where 1st Feb leaves our squad.
30.) 26 Jan 2020 14:51:13
Wolves incoming revenue for 2018/ 19 was £195.5m. Of this £87.75m has been spent buying players. This of course leaves a surplus of £107.75m. Most fans seem to think that this is money that could be spent buying additional players however this is not correct as from this surplus, wages, scouting networks, marketing budgets, travel etc must be taken off. Wages of players equals approx £35m per year. Compare this with Man U who have revenues of £627m and wages of £145m leaving them with £482m to run other departments. Basically what I'm saying is the bigger clubs make around £300m more than us per season so at this stage we cannot compete with them financially. This is where Fosun are looking to improve and make us a powerhouse. This cannot and will not be done overnight. In a few seasons, we will be up there with the big boys.
31.) 26 Jan 2020 17:15:59
Laughable, bigger picture SQ you're surely off your head Read what all posters are saying your bigger picture is based on zillion billion to 1 odds of happening.
My biggest fear is for the fans sitting round you at the match (if what you say is true you go to the matches) the poor ones having to listen to your dribble when we go 1 nil down or miss a sitter.
05 Aug 2019 22:39:00
We can't afford a 30m for kessie. What a complete joke. can't afford the personal terms either. Wolves should be going all out to sign him. We don't know the full reasoning behind the failure of the deal or what the player might be demanding. But this is the type of signing we have to try and get over the line to get us to the next level. Wolves seem to want value for money all the time. Kessie is worth 30m at least. Wolves keep trying to get deals done on the cheap which won't get us anywhere. You get what you pay for and wolves WONT do it. You have to pay the fee sometimes to get the quality you need. MAN U wanted maguire and paid over the odds to get him. We are not in that league yet but 30m isn't much in the current market. I have to say after this window i'm seriously concerned at the approach FOSUN are implementing.
1.) 05 Aug 2019 23:15:44
Patience fellow Dog head. Small steps is what's needed. Rome wasn't built in a day. I trust the management at the minute. :)
2.) 05 Aug 2019 23:24:30
Baggie troll alert!
3.) 06 Aug 2019 08:16:44
Load of rubbish we can't afford. of course we can afford it.
If a player isn't coming who we want it's because they don't want to come! Nothing to do with money.
I think this window is looking fine now. I had concerns couple weeks back. But cover has been brought in and the window is not finished. They have done well!
The majority of those players we have are not even in their prime. which means ie. The team in all likelihood if kept together will get much better. we don't need massive influx of players and never Have. Don't lose your heads out there.
4.) 06 Aug 2019 08:58:24
You need patience. I’m really pleased with the business done so far. Sustainability, squad character and being well within FFP are crucial. Let’s not forget this is only our second season back in the Prem. We’ve overachieved massively so far. Let’s have a bit of a reality check. Top 10 and a run in the cups would do me.
5.) 06 Aug 2019 09:54:54
Fans often fail to grasp that FFP rules mean we can't spend like the top four clubs, even though we have the money. The top clubs have had many years at the top, building up spendable resources. Fosun have the money but are constrained in expenditure for the time being.
Deals like stadium naming can bring in so much money. The Etihad and The Emirates come to mind. Sponsorship is obviously more lucrative for these club compared to us.
At Wolves we have to build up income and profits before we can loosen the purse strings.
6.) 06 Aug 2019 10:15:56
Some time's you have to laugh at certain fans let's lay it down so you can stop getting your knickers in a twist so Chelsea if I'm not wrong took 3 years to get in top 4 and I believe man city also took as long so we are doing exactly what every club who gets good owners do it takes time to get to the top we have a 5 year plan and we are already 2 years ahead of schedule so stop your damn whining and let the team do what they did last season make every wolves fan proud.
7.) 06 Aug 2019 11:40:58
Agree with wlvs82 in a way. I am delighted with Fosun, but if they are serious about eventually wanting to be in Champions League as they claim, they are going to have to up the ante at some stage.
8.) 06 Aug 2019 11:40:52
The additions we have made this window have been very good, ideally if we could get a midfield player who can run at defences behind the two strikers that may give us something different when we play teams that crowd the defensive and midfield areas. Harr.
9.) 06 Aug 2019 11:52:44
Apologies for the slip of the fingers, I was going to add Harry Wilson did this at Derby last season and could be an option on loan as a squad player.
10.) 06 Aug 2019 11:55:19
I suggest some fans look up FFP rules.
11.) 06 Aug 2019 12:37:36
Indeed the amount we have spent over the past few years has been very impressive. infact this year we have also splashed the cash what with Dendoncker, Jimenez, Cutrone, and the two lads from Braga That is a spend of over 80 million add on the loan fee for Vallejo that's pushing close to the mid 80s I expect us to add one more player which could push that total to 100million then if you look at the money they will spend on our new stadium upgrade then in my opinion Fosun are exceeding what I thought they would do.
12.) 06 Aug 2019 16:59:32
Let’s get real here, everyone saying the business done so far in this window is really good. Who honestly had heard of Vallejo, Cutrone or the two young Portuguese fellas before we were interested in them. I follow a lot of football and had possibly heard Cutrones name once before.
13.) 06 Aug 2019 17:11:01
Added to the above if you read the spiel from the player/ agent he's not convinced that Wolves are a "big enough club" for him at the moment. Personally I'd only want us to sign players who are committed to the cause, it's not about 30m its about attidude, fitting in and desire - if he doesn't have desire to join the project then I don't really want him here.
14.) 06 Aug 2019 17:16:18
RKO.
Agreed. Fans should look up FFP rules. You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
I can only think that certain fans are too thick to appreciate that we can't spend as much as we want. FFP says so.
15.) 06 Aug 2019 17:22:41
This is the difficult second season where we have to demonstrate we finished seventh because we were good not because we were lucky it's going to be hard to finish seventh again but if we do it's a job well done top six would be amazing.
16.) 06 Aug 2019 17:23:03
Are you happy with neves or boly to name two who didn’t want to come. Once here and playing under Nuno and with team they will feel as one and give all. You lot are doing my nut in your thonk the last couple of seasons haven’t happened the way you all moan.
17.) 06 Aug 2019 21:20:55
Wolvessince77 - great post mate!
I'd also add to the 'not a big enough club' debate. I shake my head at some of these young up and coming 'stars' who WANT a big club and then moan like little children when they get one and don't start every game, or then go on strike to get another move!
I would much rather have our 'down to earth, do the job' type players, squad and management. With the odd exception I can't remember a player not 'pulling for the club' over the last couple of years. If they are giving their all, then they are giving it for US, the real fans.
Keep your premadonnas, I'll take graft and reality any day!
18.) 06 Aug 2019 22:08:35
Cuz when it goes to pot like it did for Burnley and most lik it will for wolves your best players will not want to stick around. To carry on improving you have to invest. Mark my words we Finnish where Burnley did and the majority of this team will want out.
19.) 06 Aug 2019 23:08:18
Demon, why have you made Burnley the benchmark. Why not Fulham and Middlesbrough who both got to the final and had good league seasons a few years back. How can you always be so negative?
20.) 07 Aug 2019 01:08:09
I suggest the people who think we don't know how FFP works should think about how we were reportedly looking to spend a lot on Dias but decided the asking price was too high.
How is it we can consider him but not anyone else (because of FFP)?
Try putting on your thinking caps.
21.) 07 Aug 2019 07:11:29
Timmy T spot on, people saying some fans should look up FFP should maybe have a look themselves. We wouldn’t e offering £30m for Rugani or £27m for Kessie if we were being restrained y FFP 🤷â€â™‚ï¸.
22.) 07 Aug 2019 11:26:24
Media rumours that we've offered huge sums for various players are just rumours. In truth, we end up signing players that were never discussed in the media, and we're all taken by surprise. You all know this.
If you don't understand FFP rules I'm glad Wolves do. Otherwise if we bought all those players mentioned by fans we would be hit by penalties such as points deductions in the future.
23.) 07 Aug 2019 11:55:35
Oh do behave you tart.
24.) 07 Aug 2019 13:27:16
As far as FFP rules go, the amount going against each year is the amount paid divided by the number of years of the contract. So that is £7.5 million pounds for Jimenez. Dendoncker probably signed a 4 year contract, too, so that is around £3 million a year.
So £10.5 for the two big names you are bandying about.
The two youngsters they paid around £20 million for signed for 5 years, I think, so that is £4 million for the two of them.
Cutrone is £18 million for a four year contract is £4.5/ year.
So we get Less that £20 million for all of the permanent signings for this summer to date, as far as FFP goes.
25.) 07 Aug 2019 19:17:19
It's ok guys Demon and TimmyT know more about FFP than fosum it seems.
26.) 07 Aug 2019 22:54:51
Why do you say that? Have Fosun given you contradicting information?
27.) 07 Aug 2019 23:15:25
Apparently, Rated knows Fosun's recruitment plans and how I am contradicting them.
Who are you Rated? Are you Jeff Shi?

Following laurie leaving wolves. I believe fosun are looking to sell wolves. This was the reason laurie has left. The lack of of transfer activity is simply because fosun are looking to recoup their previous investment and are not looking to invest as they are now selling. Seriously worrying times.
1.) 10 Jul 2019 18:17:25
Load of bull wlvs82.
2.) 10 Jul 2019 18:34:34
Oh do behave Wlvs82 my bet is Laurie has been tapped up by another club.
But it's just speculation Fosun will not sell us nor will they let us down.
3.) 10 Jul 2019 18:40:52
Fosun are ruthless. Although Darlymple looked to us fans, we don't know what was going on behind the scenes. For all we know, he may have been doing something illegal or it may simply be that his vision for the club was different to Fosuns. Either way, Fosun are ruthless and will get someone in to continue to grow the club all around the world. It's what Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea have done in the past.
4.) 10 Jul 2019 18:54:53
Agree jas m fosun are ruthless, knowbody knows what's going on, we will just have to trust the owners.
5.) 10 Jul 2019 19:34:08
Laurie has been flirting with Man Utd top brass to join their revolution. Watch this space.
6.) 10 Jul 2019 19:50:11
The only conclusion I can draw is that Laurie has been a naughty boy.
7.) 10 Jul 2019 20:24:30
So he stood up to them. No new transfers and I believed we would sign players but am now in doubt. We going to struggle big time this season.
8.) 10 Jul 2019 20:38:01
Wlvs82 if fosun are selling why pay the best part of 50 million to sign Jimenez and Dendoncker and why open a megastore in China this is just the tip of the ice berg fosun are ruthless and that’s why they will take us to the very top they will do whatever it takes.
9.) 10 Jul 2019 20:41:37
Demon, let's not try and second guess what's happened. What's done is done and we move on.
10.) 10 Jul 2019 20:45:28
Behave demo.
11.) 10 Jul 2019 21:01:30
We will get somone else in instead they probably got somone lined up.
12.) 10 Jul 2019 21:17:53
Remember that Laurie was there before Fosun took over in a different role. They promoted him to take us to the next level which he has but maybe his ambition has plateaued and we need a new face with fresh ideas to drive us forward.
13.) 10 jul 2019 21:23:42
dalrymple now gone. no transfers. two years of success. too much to hope it was going to last.
14.) 10 Jul 2019 21:40:55
Always seemed to me that there must be overlap between the roles of Laurie and Jeff Shi. Would not surprise me if Laurie was not replaced directly.
15.) 10 Jul 2019 21:51:40
Everyone's guessing what's happened, but for him to be dismissed tells me something serious as happened because we all thought he done a brilliant job.
No doubt we will find out sooner rather than later.
16.) 10 Jul 2019 22:04:45
Agree with Demon. It's typical Wolves can't handle success. ten steps backwards - relegation battle.
17.) 10 Jul 2019 23:18:51
SQ, do you read your posts back to yourself? Just curious.
18.) 11 Jul 2019 00:56:56
Tim Speirs has hit the nail on the head he has spoken to people and has said since Fosum took over they have been overhauling the club from top to btoom including staff from places like ticket office to the very top. So it was only a matter of time until Laurie parted ways and Fosun will have someone lined up to take his place.
Fosun want to take Wolves to the very top and to do so sacrifices and changes need to be made.
So i think that should shut up the pant wetters for a bit.
19.) 11 Jul 2019 02:35:29
RE: Fosun selling Wolves, they’re about to open a Mega Store in China. I’d doubt they’re selling up, just a bored baggie creating an account on here because they’re losing their star players 😂😂😂 #BoingBoing.
20.) 11 Jul 2019 09:27:46
Fosun said that they an investment company and the purpose of such a company is to make a profit. Fosun want to make a profit by making Wolves successful. They are in it for the long haul.
21.) 11 Jul 2019 13:38:51
Of course Fosun intend to sell. But only at the top of the market. That position is a long way off yet as there's untapped potential to harness first, starting with breaking into the so called big six's monopoly of the Champions league places.
22.) 11 Jul 2019 14:39:42
Well the report I read, was that Fosun were in it for the long term, and in intend to make Wolves f. c. a top club.
23.) 11 Jul 2019 17:00:57
I'm glad I don't sit in between wlvs82, SQ and Demon at games, I'd be slitting my wrists before half time in match 1.
24.) 12 Jul 2019 10:17:05
Why would you anyway. You are on the bench.
05 Jul 2019 01:58:23
According to sportmediaset and football Italia. Ac Milan are in talks to sign Neves offering 15m plus Andre Silva. What do you makes of this. If true I would be surprised. We can surely afford to buy Silva outright. Why exchange neves. Sounds like neves perhaps wants the move. I would be somewhat concerned if true.
1.) 05 Jul 2019 05:47:56
Utter cack. Neves will go one day but the price will be closer to 100 million so stop reading every site out of boredom.
2.) 05 Jul 2019 09:33:56
Sounds like neves perhaps wants the move hahahahahah the guy is happy to be at wolves and 2 things when he does leave one day it will be to a bigger club who can offer champions league/ europa league football not ac milan and a ridiculous amount of money like 90-100 million cause the truth is we can if we really wanted to sign silva without having to use a swap deal and a small amount of cash.
3.) 05 Jul 2019 09:37:57
I agree demon, he will leave one, will be surprised if it was now, he knows he is one of our main nen at wolves and building somthing special here.
4.) 05 Jul 2019 09:48:23
Sky sports saying nothing in it with silva.
5.) 05 Jul 2019 13:24:48
AC Milan are offering Silva to everyone, it seems they just want rid of him. His move there just didn’t work out and he was hardly prolific at Sevilla.
6.) 05 Jul 2019 14:51:23
Cross my palm with Silva plus €15 mil and you can have Neves?
Total rubbish.
7.) 05 Jul 2019 16:09:08
Why would we sell/ trade a player we want for a player the other team doesn't want?
8.) 05 Jul 2019 19:24:56
Personally I think Silva could do something here. He would be an excellent back up striker.
His credit is low at the moment but he has the credentials and Nuno may make him super special.
The link with Neves however is complete rubbish.
9.) 06 Jul 2019 01:54:08
Even Alex Richards from the mirror is laughing at this rumour.
10.) 06 Jul 2019 13:07:45
And keith.
11.) 06 Jul 2019 14:02:05
How about Silva for Cavaliero? Straight swap.

if anyone want a ticket for watford game. there's one available in billy wright upper as i can't make the game. area is w2 row u seat 42. but you will have to go on wolves website to book it.
08 Aug 2019 14:38:34
I cannot believe wolves can't meet kessies wage demand of 4m. This is the going rate these day for players of his quality. i'm shocked at wolves approach in this window. Really struggled to get things over the line. I fear there has been a change in the owners policy about transfers now they think we are fairly established in the league. don't get all these u23 players coming. They might come good a lot later but no good to us now. Not that excited about the new season. don't see us making any progress on last seasons finish. Cutrone seems a good signing. But I was expecting much more. Well all is well for Fosun they can pick up their 160m each year as our current players become restless and look for moves elsewhere. I remember a similar thing happen to Valencia when Nuno and Mendes worked on transfers. It was going great then fell apart when the players stopped coming in.
1.) 08 Aug 2019 15:10:08
I'm shocked at moaners like you.
15 Jul 2019 20:11:41
I think fosun have a plan. It was to simply get to the premier league to take advantage of the increased TV revenue etc. They now have achieved this and aren't interested in paying big fees for anyone. If they aren't going to do this now when will they? At this rate Nuno will walk along with half the team. Spending 5m on Wallace is really exciting isn't it? They seem to be choosing the cheap option all the time. Next season we will be lucky to get top ten. By next summer we will be well behind. Forget about top six most of you will probably picking up your pensions or possibly dead by the time that happens. Harsh but you know I'm right.
1.) 15 Jul 2019 20:33:22
Crikey hardly anyone has signed anyone give it a rest.
2.) 15 Jul 2019 20:34:14
Can we please wait until the transfer window is shut before posting that crap wlvs82.
3.) 15 Jul 2019 20:36:04
wlvs82
Who do you support? It certainly isn't Wolves.
4.) 15 Jul 2019 20:56:14
I support wolves. Just because I'm making negative comments doesn't mean I don't support the team. Just stating as how I see things that are happening. Nuno clearly doesn't seem to truly know what's going on from today's interview. The window opened in June. Here we are in July and nothing happening. What does it say about the people in charge of transfers and planning.
5.) 15 Jul 2019 21:36:02
That they are still planning and talking to club's just like most of the other clubs in the World. Save your negatives for if we don't sign anyone and then you are more than welcome to be the doom merchant, but until then wlvs82 sshhh.
6.) 15 Jul 2019 21:59:28
Just because a "fan" posts a concern we all jump on them. Try and hide it as much as you want we are all concerned deep down. All those ITK don't know anything and regurgitate news from news 24/ 7. Fosun are too busy salvaging a £750 million deal for Thomas Cook as they are businessmen. Even Nuno has expressed his concerns today. So everyone stop pretending you know more that the club as you know sweet fa just like the rest of us.
7.) 16 Jul 2019 01:55:44
Thing is these so called fans only post negative rubbish they were nowhere when we were overachieving last season.
They never came on here and gave credit to nuno, the team, fosun, staff and fans who go to every match.
I think people are just getting fed up of the moaners constantly spouting negative rubbish all the time.
8.) 16 Jul 2019 08:14:16
Correct RKO, sick of the Cr*p being spouted and Negativity.
9.) 16 Jul 2019 11:32:29
It's that kind of 'support' wlvs82 that we don't want thanks. You have an opinion and i respect that. But negativity isn't support. i'm presuming you were born in 82 due to the name? I was born in 80. First match 85. First memory sherpa van trophy. I have witnessed many poor times at our beloved club, like most on here. I have respect for the supporters older than me who have seen a lot more, good and bad. But If just a few seasons ago someone would have told me we would finish 7th in the prem, be in the Europa league, a semi final of the fa cup, world class international players playing for us, a megastore open in China, a sell out every match, a season ticket waiting list etc etc.
I'd have probably laughed at them and called a shrink. But one thing I can say for sure is this is the best I have ever known it in all my life and something I dreamed would happen one day. Now that it's here I'm going to bloody enjoy it while it lasts because I know how s**t it can be. And 'supporters' like you aren't going to spoil it for me and the thousands of others who have waited for it.
#Together We Are Stronger ðŸº.
10.) 16 Jul 2019 14:13:00
Well said Bradmore. The fact is we're in Dreamland, and yet some supporters are being deliberately negative. Unless they are suffering from psychological issues, they should count their blessings, as so many blessings have been bestowed on Wolves. Bradmore has reminded us of them.
I was at Brighton when we lost in May 2013 and went down for the second year in a row. Sure, there was a lot of negativity during the season, but when relegation was confirmed I was not negative. Nor were any other supporters around me as far as I could tell as they were singing about going to Shrewsbury. We all knew that Dean Saunders would be sacked and a new coach appointed. Out of darkness cometh light, and that light is pretty bright now.
11.) 17 Jul 2019 15:06:15
Cheers Deep Throat. It's just so annoying all the negativity. We could walk the league, win the fa cup and go all season undefeated and some 'fans' would still moan. Completely with you as regards the negativity we have had, even in recent years and to see where we are now is amazing. That light is bloody blinding 😎.
06 Jul 2019 13:28:18
Is anyone getting concerned with our transfer activity. Do you think we will sign anyone? Everything seems very quiet. Its starting to look like we may end up signing no one. I thought we would really push on this year with some quality signings.
1.) 06 Jul 2019 13:39:10
Yawn!
2.) 06 Jul 2019 13:42:08
Have spotted Nunos with a possible new signing this morning.
3.) 06 Jul 2019 20:04:19
Totally agree. I am very concerned-I think it is unacceptable.
4.) 07 Jul 2019 00:23:33
No but getting tired of moaners who still can't get it into their skull Wolves never let on who they are signing until the player has actually signed.
I think next week we may see something happen i'm only guessing here but stop moaning just 6 years ago we was in league1.
5.) 07 Jul 2019 12:29:20
Spot on rated! The transfer market has only really started moving this week and will pick up pace now. I too am fed up with moaners who are spouting negative crap because we haven't signed messi and Ronaldo yet! I have 100% trust and faith in fosun and nuno. They know we need couple of additions and they certainly wouldn't have let costa go without knowing someone is coming in. How about everyone staying positive about how far we have come in a short space of time and just enjoy the ride. Bring on the new season as I can't wait. coyw.
6.) 08 Jul 2019 15:54:29
I think there's an element of fancy asking prices at the moment. Clubs are looking to sell at high prices before they can afford to buy. Well, Wolves are not falling for that.
Last season Fulham filled their boots at fancy prices in the summer. Buy in haste, repent at leisure.
7.) 09 Jul 2019 09:36:42
Rated RKO, Southbanker, Deep Throat, I couldn't agree more. I have 100% faith in Nuno, Jeff Shi, Fosun etc. People have very short memories. Only a few seasons ago it was league 1 football, Morgan and Moxey. Now it's the best manager we have had in my yrs supporting the club, owners with real ambition and business nouse, 7th place in the prem, fa cup semi, European football. As far as I'm concerned we are well ahead of schedule as regards 'the plan'. I have waited all my life for something like this to happen and I'm enjoying every bloody second of it. In Nuno we trust, together we are stronger! ðŸº.
07 Nov 2018 11:55:03
I think the teams problems are simply due to the fact that we don't have the quality in certain positions and didn't strengthen well enough in the summer. I think Costa and Jota were expected to make the step up from the Championship but have not performed. Central defence is the same as what we had last year, and is being exposed against stronger teams. Dendonker was bought in a 12m deal, but obviously Nuno doesn't think he is up to standard required. I notice we seem to do deals very late in the window and then have problems getting them over the line (EG ZINCHENKO) . Overall I think wolves thought they had the quality in the team from last year so haven't bought many players in. But I think they have underestimated the quality of the league. I know we had a good start to the season, but last three games have shown some weaknesses. Just hope wolves can sort this in next window.
1.) 07 Nov 2018 12:47:27
Hi, understand what your are saying and partly agree with you. Yes Jota has struggled to make the same impact. Costa has had a couple of good games and shows glimpses of his undoubted quality. What we must remember is they are still kids and we need to stick with them because they will come good and are learning and adapting every single game. We have the youngest squad in the league. Although a couple of additions are needed to strengthen further in January, I must disagree with you because I feel our transfer business in the summer was excellent. There will be players rumoured, offered, bid for etc, but if a player doesn't want to come you can't force him and that's what happened with Zinchenko. Would we really want a player in our squad who's heart isn't in it and doesn't really want to be here? Fulham threw money at it and seemed to be buying everybody at one stage. look where they are! This current squad just does not give up, continues to run, try and wears the old gold with pride. I'm loving the ride at the moment and I'm not worried at all about our safety. I've said before this first season is all about learning and staying in the division and I would be very happy if we finished where we are now. Next season we push on again. Rome wasnt built in a day. It took man city a while. I've been a fan since I was a kid in the mid 80s and we've never had it this good. Onwards and upwards. In Nuno we trust. Together we are stronger ðŸº.
2.) 07 Nov 2018 14:15:00
Are you talking about the same Helder Costa who this very season won his 1st cap the Portugal, the current European Champions. Can't be doing too bad.
3.) 07 Nov 2018 17:37:35
JAS M- Costa has won his first cap and could well be a good player for portugal in the future, but this is irrelevant. You say he can't be doing too bad- well, zero assists and goals so far simply isn't good enough for us. If this continues I can see him being replaced by traore or someone else in january or the summer.
4.) 07 Nov 2018 17:57:57
I like Costa but he is so frustrating, he can skin players for fun but then fails to do the simple things. His job is to supply the goals and score them as well, and as said he is failing with both. Costa and Jota have both fallen short for us so far this season, so they are both under pressure with January comin up.
5.) 08 Nov 2018 02:11:45
Bradmore wolf. Regarding the zinchenko deal. I understand the player not wanting to come and you are correct we don't want a player who doesn't really want to sign for wolves. What was disappointing was that wolves had a bid accepted well before the deadline. Yet he still had not signed until the very last day. With this in mind wolves simply should have looked at other targets if the player was unsure. Instead it got left until the last day and fell through with no time to look elsewhere. Thought that was very poor planning from wolves in my opinion. OK Docherty has performed well so far which makes it less of a priority.
25 Jan 2020 18:14:01
AlWolf123. When I say FOSUN aren't supporting Nuno I mean they don't seem to be going all out to sign the likes of Soumare for instance. To me it seems they only seem to opt for the 2nd or 3rd choice player that is on Nunos list. Okay they might be signing Podence, but he is hardly in the top class category. From what I've read there doesn't seem to be much interest in him from any other teams, hence the reason I think we are going for him. Our choices of player lately sound desperate rather than what we really want. What on earth are we doing going after Oliviera? There must be better out there. Regarding Wolves being relegated if there was a mass exodus of players along with Nuno, I certainly wouldn't rule out being in a relegation battle if he left. I think you underestimate how important he actually is to Wolves. Personally I think it could fall apart rapidly without him in charge, particularly if Wolves hierarchy were to get the wrong replacement. i'm certainly not a baggies fan, so don't even dare suggest that.
15 Jul 2019 20:56:14

Bradmore wolf I wouldn't worry about walking the plank. I've just spotted a huge hole at the bottom of your boat. I don't think you will enjoy the ride much longer.

07 Nov 2018 23:22:56
Jas. Nobody said the team needs a complete overhaul. The point is there are some noticeable areas which need improvement. Jota and Costa have been weak links so far. If we intend to progress and not stand still, the sooner our weak areas are improved the better. I'm sure Fosun can see this too and will act accordingly.
