Yippee Semedo has signed.
Video on Wolves website.
Can't wait for Sunday now
COYW.

Pleased with incomings this window, especially that net cost is zero. Given this is the case, we still need quality 'playmaker' asap. Go Wolves!

Having lived in Barcelona a couple of years ago and seen this guy play live, I can’t believe we have attracted and then signed a player of this quality. I was gutted when Doherty left but this is such a massive upgrade it’s so hard to comprehend. He needs time to settle of course but I believe we have one of the best wing backs in the world. All my friends who are Barcelona fans are gob smacked they have sold him and also sold him for this price. Happy days.

Is that the Semedo that SQ said wasn't happening or another one?

4.) 23 Sep 2020 13:01:23
Could be the same one lol but according to him we are getting relegated lol.

5.) 23 Sep 2020 15:39:31
SQ should maybe audition for Les Miserables! Joke SQ not being nasty mate. Join the positive team!

6.) 23 Sep 2020 17:36:23
Our squad is nearing completion giving Nuno more options with formation and player selection.
Wow reading about Semedo and now just on Wolvesfc77 post I'm getting rather excited to see him play.

7.) 23 Sep 2020 18:18:27
I totally agree Phil, maybe one more incoming at most I guess. I believe under Nuno in a year from now he will be the best signing we have made and best full back around.

Anyone else feel we are becoming a bit of a nursery club for Liverpool. First Jota and next in line is Traore.
UTW.

1.) 14 Nov 2020 13:33:10
I don't think we are becoming a nursery for pool but I do feel Adamas agent is trying to gently persuade him Liverpool is the go to club to sign for.

2.) 14 nov 2020 16:44:01
We have to buy and sell players, Cheadle. That’s the way it works. Got no problem with moving players on and better coming in but still not sure Nuno is the best manager to do this.

3.) 14 nov 2020 16:45:54
Adama Traore, get rid, toxic, take the money he'll fail elsewhere. Nuno made him. if he doesn't appreciate that then get him out of the dressing room.

4.) 14 Nov 2020 17:23:37
Traore seems to be holding out for a better contract than has been offered. I would let him go, both Podence and Neto are far better options. He, s a one trick pony, can be exciting for a few minutes but he is generally sussed out by the other teams now. Take the money and run.

5.) 14 Nov 2020 18:24:49
i agree lupine, if their heart isn't at the club then let them go, loyalty like our bully had isn't there much these days, all about money now, like you say there is better at the club.

6.) 14 Nov 2020 20:24:08
Welcome Nelly
I was a huge fan of AT last year but he has gone backwards quite markedly this year.
Don't know why but unless it changes and sharpish he will have to go and it will be a major failure for us.
Like Jota is now doing, he will re emerge BUT he won't remerge as Jota is doing as a good Prem player but sadly as a great Prem player potentially great full stop!
What ever we get for him it won't be enough.
Wolves, as BullyB correctly noted when I referenced Fernandes, simply can't sign a (world class) replacement player no matter what the fee.
This is because at present we simply aren't recognised as being worthy!?
So whatever the problem is we need to work hard (er) to solve it and if eventually he does go we will need to buy a lot better than we did this summer as this year's match day squad (not a theoretical one in 2 or 3 years time! ) will be dangerously thin!

7.) 14 Nov 2020 20:59:21
cheers thefutureisgold, I quite agree mate, work needs doing and doing right, I have confidence in the owners and the staff although I think the £35m should have been spent on a proven goal scorer tbh, fabio silva looks a good young player and will develop into a better one but I think we need the right players now if we are to progress.

8.) 15 Nov 2020 01:11:36
Nelly - Re last summer it is not just the fact that we spent virtually everything on players for the (potential) future who might well turn out to be brilliant in 2 or 3 years time - Hoever, Vitor, RAN and Silva.
Rather than ready to play players like Marcal but, and in the short term more importantly, we didn't solve any of the problems we obviously - well the ones I identified in a thread before the season started about the August transfer window anyway, had.
[Note I am not sure how you categorize Semedo as he (expensively) was bought to attempt solve a problem {He has actually looked quite promising over the last couple of weeks but is still nowhere near the level of the player we let leave but perhaps he will get there given time} we had simply created ourselves by giving the incumbent RWB away. ]
As you say we didn't buy a ready to play cover/ assistant to Jimenez - and at the moment it looks like one is desperately needed - with Silva only being trusted with a handful of minutes even though we aren't scoring!
We didn't buy the replacement for Moutinho even though it was obvious that his legs were going ( he is after all in his mid 30s! )
Vitor the player some felt was the replacement not even trusted to be on the bench.
Finally we didn't buy a ready to play attacking LWB. Marcal is ready to play but not attacking and sadly RAN is attacking but doesn't appear to be ready to play.
I also commented that a RCB would be useful as all of our CBs are left sided including amazingly now Kilman.
But Boly is still doing a solid job there so its not a major issue cf the other 3
In my post I suggested selling Jota, Saiss and Moutinho to (part) finance the incomings sadly only Jota was sold and although Saiss started the season well he is now on the bench as is Moutinho {Subject to Dendonker's injury} and both will be worth less now than they were in August.
Indeed I would not be surprised to see Moutinho either retire or be given a free back to Portugal next summer.
So at the end of the Transfer window on a thread about how well we did when everyone else was saying it was brilliant I was the miserable git giving it a 4 out of 10
With hindsight I was generous!
However get Traore firing again and we have nothing to worry about - Podence and Neto are developing v well and the rest of the side is still strong apart from the WBs, {LWB looks a major problem and RWB is not quite there yet but close }- so we should be absolutely fine.
But this year with a better summer fine could have been seriously challenging - its just such a shame
Maybe in 3 years time Hoever, Silva, RAN and Semedo will be picking up medals for Wolves title winning season and then my mark for the summer of 2020 will have to be adjusted to an 11!

9.) 15 Nov 2020 09:12:14
good post mate, Nuno will have everything in hand i'm sure, we have a decent squad but 1 or 2 more good signings will be needed I think whether its january or next summer, time will tell I suppose, but all said and done its COME ON ME BABBIES!

10.) 15 Nov 2020 10:14:26
Thefutureisoldgold
I posted above about an u23 gem then scrolled down to your post.
With vitor not making the squad (which I had forgotten about) there doesn't seem to be much chance of an u23 coming through and being a gem.
It seems to be a waiting game and I think with how this year with c. v. has blown us all away its worked out that we signed players for the future.
I'm sure I have read somewhere when we finally leave the EU (brexit) it's going to be extremely difficult for English clubs to sign young and upand coming players. If I have read correctly maybe this was in mind in our last transfer window.
I believe we may or may not finish in a good league position but definitely feel our worst is better than 4or5 teams best
Thefutureisoldgold I'm off out again today just a local wander this lockdown no problem in the week as I'm grafting in the dungeon in brum lol but yesterday was tough.
Stay safe and nice to reading your thoughts nelly along with the rest of us.
FWAW.

Phil - it rained all day yesterday and is wet now so have been stuck in all weekend!
With the IPL ended I have been "reduced" to reading and am ploughing through the Ken Follet Kingsbridge trilogy ( made into a TV series a few years back) but at well over 3,000 pages its a long long read!
Fingers crossed for a dry week for those of us at home and delighted that you are still working. C.V. has meant that many - including my 2 eldest = have seen their hours reduced or wiped out entirely!

Gundogan out tonight due to the virus. Self isolating. Seen it on Talksport site.

1.) 21 Sep 2020 15:47:00
They are really going to struggle for a replacement.

18 Sep 2020 17:59:28
First time poster. Getting a bit worried as it seems we are becoming a bit of a selling club. It looks like they are selling the family silver. First Matt Doherty and now Diogo Jota. Will it be Ruben Neves next? No place in team for him against Sheffield United.

1.) 18 Sep 2020 18:17:28
Did you miss the 3 we bought in?

2.) 18 Sep 2020 18:33:51
Thought those days were well and truly behind us, when players we’ve sold come back to play against us, Cav, Costa, Doc and now Jota, didn’t think “the project” was to become a feeder club for the big boys.

3.) 18 Sep 2020 18:43:26
2 of the 3 we gave brought in are just kids. In fact at their ages we use to regard them as ones for the future. We have just sold 2 experienced senior internationals and replaced them with kids. What about buying a mature striker and midfielder not to mention a wingback.

4.) 18 Sep 2020 19:01:50
My thoughts are Jota has been brilliant for us but did blow hot and cold in the last 2 premier league seasons.
We have the burst of form from neto we have Traore and podence and the wonder kid to gradually be molded into the first team.
Rwb or rb is priority but surely will be addressed.
I don't think selling jota is a bad of a thing to be of a major concern to our project.
Just my thoughts on it that's all.
Welcome to the site Cheadlewolf56.

5.) 18 Sep 2020 19:42:44
Welcome Cheadle, more the merrier buddy. Just to say these days EVERY club is a selling club! If Bayern Munich can win the Champs League and still have to sell their best players then no clubs immune 👍.

6.) 18 Sep 2020 19:43:16
Thanks Phil789.

{Ed047's Note - welcome aboard Cheadle! 👍🏼

7.) 18 Sep 2020 19:54:14
Yeah welcome to the site Cheadle :)

8.) 18 Sep 2020 20:05:31
Phil - Agree!

9.) 18 Sep 2020 21:50:08
The truth is that we have to sell to build with FFP standing firmly in our way. Who’d have thought we’d be in a position to sell 70 million worth of players and still have heaps of talent at our club. I’d expect a top quality wing back to come in soon.

10.) 18 Sep 2020 23:57:33
Welcome Cheadle. Trust Nuno I'm happy he knows what he's doing.

11.) 19 Sep 2020 00:03:16
Thanks for the welcomes chaps. Just hope they spend the money wisely. Surely the right wing back position is top priority?

12.) 19 Sep 2020 09:06:08
Welcome from me too Cheadle I am an optimist on this site and I love that this is the best Wolves team I have ever seen and Nuno the best manager we won't get relegated!

Has anyone got any update on the signing. Always seems to take us an age to finally get the deal over the line. Would love to see him signed in time for the West Ham game and then Adama can play further forward. COYW.
