Larsen apparently having a Palace medical while Angel and Armstrong are having Wolves medicals today.AC Milan doctor to check over Mateta today; not sure whether the Larsen deal hinges on what tbe Milan doctor decides.
1.) 02 Feb 2026 14:52:47
Milan pulled out of deal according to Sky
31 Jan 2024 14:48:03
Yuri Alberto, Corinthians (ex Zenit St Petersburg) is Wanderers number 9?
1.) 31 Jan 2024 15:13:58
Deal almost done.
2.) 31 Jan 2024 15:19:32
Old Wulf how do you know that never even heard of the guy.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 15:35:31
Just watched a few clips of him old wulf, looks useful left and right footed can head a ball and follows in. Is it actually confirmed yet?
4.) 31 Jan 2024 15:39:11
Looks a possibility Old Wolf he's played with both Gomes and Cunha for Brazil so I'm sure Gary and Matt will have spoken about him to them. tbh probably as good if not better than spending 35 mill on Broja cwho may not come good. Certainly knows how to find the net from his YouTube clips. Good positioning sense by the looks of him. Worth a punt.
5.) 31 Jan 2024 16:13:48
Looks useful.
6.) 31 Jan 2024 16:51:22
You'll note that there's a question mark at the end of my comment Dek, thus indicating it's not a certainty. However, it does seem to be a rumour that has substance and legs unlike many that have appeared on here in the past.Time will tell and we don't have long to wait.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 18:04:38
Don't think this is happening.been rejected
08 Aug 2023 21:22:40
Parting of ways just announced.
1.) 08 Aug 2023 21:43:42
O'Neil is not the answer. They are not his players. The squad will now be stripped of the main assets. I expect Sa, RAN, Semedo, Podence, Neto, Cunha, Gomes, Kilman and Nunes to go and replaced with cheaper, Championship ready replacements. I think we're as good as down.
2.) 08 Aug 2023 21:46:14
Yep he's gone like he always do.but he done a great job I welcome O'Neill.
3.) 08 Aug 2023 21:50:04
Bring back Moxey and Big Mick more ambition than Shi
4.) 08 Aug 2023 21:50:31
Yeah it's official don't really know how I feel, seemed a decent bloke, but going forward want someone to bring our young uns through, first sign of aggro and he's off so best to part ways now than let things drag on, julen ain't no wolf
5.) 08 aug 2023 21:54:07
a good workman never blames his tools. (of which some we have sold on) however, it seems football is different. i do not think we have a bad squad, lacking depth maybe but certainly something that could be worked with. i am sure jl has his reasons, but i think wolves being on solid foundations of the most important thing currently
6.) 08 Aug 2023 22:00:08
Financial Foundations *
7.) 08 Aug 2023 22:15:23
Old wulf blimey your hackles are up! If we sell the players you mention I would not be too fussed bar neto the rest I'm not blown away, ran, semedo, sa, cuna overpriced, give our academy boys a run out and the new gaffer a chance
8.) 08 Aug 2023 22:21:13
Just seen sky sports news apparently we have interviewed a number of candidates 2 weeks prior to this announcement, its been a charade hence lope giving no post match interviews, feel a little mugged off,
9.) 08 Aug 2023 22:22:32
FOSUN OUT.FOSUN OUT.the fools are clueless.look fwd to be playing the likes of plymouth nxt ssn.
10.) 08 Aug 2023 22:25:39
Come on Jas, irrespective of our feelings, now is the time for us all to stand together with the new coach and fight for the cause.Its not completely relevant whether they are the new coach's players or not.Last season's January spending showed that Fosun simply cannot afford just to stand back and allow us to be relegated.It will be interesting to see what happens this coming January (seems we can forget about the summer window).
11.) 08 Aug 2023 22:48:07
Well said old Wolf, understandable folks are angry, but end of day we need to get behind whoever comes in, I'm sure the players knew that it was possible he would go, judging by Docs interview after the celtic game.
Fosun may just surprise us once again.
It's gona be arough ride for a few weeks, there's along season ahead, but the players qehave if it stays that way are more than capable, the next appointment is crucial, let's hope they have done the groundwork
12.) 08 Aug 2023 22:57:18
Totally agree give young players a chance.i see Frazier is going out on loan.i think O'Neill should hault that give him a go
13.) 08 Aug 2023 23:03:02
Think you've got me confused with Jas, nell.
14.) 08 Aug 2023 23:07:20
I think Jorge Mendes relationship with the club has soured and he will look to cut ties with us as soon as possible. Unfortunately this means moving his clients on.
15.) 09 Aug 2023 06:39:08
Jas M, the most important person to be moved on is Shi!
Just do not understand the thinking of Fosun.
16.) 09 Aug 2023 07:52:14
O'Neil is not good enough why didn't Bournemouth keep him? We gone for cheap option, J.Lo came here to fulfill the promises Fosun assured him. Fosun should sell up whilst in the Premiership, there time is Over!
17.) 09 Aug 2023 22:22:26
Jas m why isn't O'Neill the one for the job .to me I think he will be a great manager and wants to work hard at least he wants to knuckle down do job not like JL u cried and ran when the going gets tough.nuno was god JL wasn't
18.) 10 Aug 2023 00:03:19
Kally 1 explain why is O'Neill no good 2 why should fosun sell up 3 JL knew when he signed that there were ffp problems.hes to big for his boots.i think he was causing trouble on the inside .so when it got tough he cried and left us for dead but fosun has got O'Neill past is past look forward to future
19.) 15 Aug 2023 22:47:59
Kally 1 what did you think of game last night.wolves brilliant out played utd we were robbed.Oneil barmy army
12 Oct 2022 19:59:26
Leonardo Jardim is the new name on the block, seemingly out of nowhere. Now managing nowhere in a football sense (Dubai) but ex Monaco manager.
1.) 12 Oct 2022 22:03:17
Nuno also being considered
2.) 13 Oct 2022 06:58:09
This process is a typical piece of Shi and Sellars gross mis-management of the Club.
I am very pessimistic about he Club's future.
3.) 13 Oct 2022 11:11:33
You're not the only one Rugeley. Why would you build the club up to its highest point in 50 years only to then progressively dismantle its management team and then the squad that achieved that?
With the lack of any explanation of the various goings on fans disillusionment grows, they talked about 'The Pack' but in truth it's not. All that has gone, the current management lack the common touch that Dalrymple and Nuno insisted on and practiced. Maybe that's why they've gone, Jeff Shi has said he felt some of the fans never appreciated the efforts the club had made, welcome to football Jeff, 30,000 plus opinions to wrestle with.
It's clear to me that Shi has taken a wrong turn over the last 2-3 years. Some of us impressed by a Chairman that actually went to watch training and talk to the players every day now realise his real motives for doing that. The current management team whatever their individual merits, or not, appear to have been selected for one overriding reason.
Sadly, it's times like this that focus the attention on such matters as most of us wouldn't care a jot if we were up the other end of the table doing well. However, the way things are now that's just a pipe dream as the mistakes, missed opportunities and what could have been, are all racking up. Many think we'll bring a new Manager/Coach in and all will be well, a bit naive I think. Yes, this squad should be and will eventually do better providing the club can find a decent replacement for Lage. People, however, are not stupid so it's no wonder many will not want the job. The very fact that Rob Edwards has had a formal interview is just another indicator. If they felt he was capable of stepping up to a first team assistant coaching role as part of his development, why would he need an interview?
Incidents of 'good luck' and 'bad luck' happen infrequently to all of us but it would appear that this club is just plain cursed, but I think we all know that's just excuses.
4.) 13 Oct 2022 12:44:32
Hi LongmyndWolf, just been listening to the E&S latest podcast.
Those journalists a little closer than us fans to the Club, sound just as bewildered as us.
3 big games in what, 8 days? Should be looking at 7 points for me, BUT, the way morale is, 1 will be good!
I can't see a 3/4th choice manager getting anything out of this squad.
Sounds ridiculous, after just 9 games, but I think they should be planning for next season in the Championship. Find a young energetic manager full of ideas and enthusiasm and use the summer to change the squad.
One good thing is, we could get around £100m for sales, plus the circa £40m parachute payment, money will not be a problem.
I am afraid we have to start again.
ps
with a new CEO and HoFootball!
5.) 13 Oct 2022 13:33:39
I don't get why lopetegui even had the interview if he had no intention of taking the job.either doesn't want a relegation on h8s cv.or told ther was no money?.shame tho.but I too think unless we get the right guy wer doomed to the championship.which was always on the cards anyway rrlying on players like jiminez jonny motinhio year after year qnd blowing 70mil on guedes and nunes when we needed a quality fwd more.and i'd be inclined to take the first decent offer we get for neto.the lad is injury prone
6.) 13 Oct 2022 13:41:13
But this is the big mystery Rugeley, why has it come to this? This current management under Jeff Shi's direction have progressively brought this club down with their decision making.
There's no such thing as a problem, it's just a decision that needs making but this lot constantly seem to make the wrong one. There's been a visible trail of them since we lost the likes of Dalrymple and Thelwell increasing in frequency after Nuno went. Whatever Lage's capabilities or failings he was never going to succeed and I doubt under this regime anyone really will.
7.) 13 Oct 2022 14:29:54
If they are plannig for the champioship Rugeley do you really think that £150m plus would be made available for team rebuild?
Dream on.
8.) 13 Oct 2022 15:20:11
Not really W.just saying there would be funds to re-build.
9.) 13 Oct 2022 16:14:22
Bux I'm not sure Lopetegui had an interview, as such. Shi flew out to Spain to talk him into taking the job. He must have known about Lopetegui's personal circumstances before he went, what was the point?
You're right we should have bought the top striker we've desperately needed for 2 years or more. Our only hope is that Traore gets sorted and back to business getting those crosses in to Costa.
10.) 13 Oct 2022 16:25:07
Shi may be a good businessman but he does not have a clue about running a premier football club and that is the reason he has made so many bad decisions. He has relied on people like Mendes and Sellers to much and his decisions have destroyed any unity we had in our club. I make a plea to all the fans to get behind the players on Saturday for 90 mins and let's hope we can find a decent manager who can keep us in the premier league. Come on me babies.
11.) 13 Oct 2022 21:05:06
Guess who's the new favourite to get the job, folks. Clue: he had a dream and likes 5 at the back!
12.) 14 Oct 2022 20:22:29
LongmyndWolf - Did it ever occur to you that maybe the UEFA sanctions had something to do with the lack of investment during that time? Or is it just a coincidence?
13.) 15 Oct 2022 06:58:28
Handsome Lad, what has UEFA sanctions got to do with failed decision making following the loss of the senior management who brought success with good decision making?
My point was nothing to do with transfers, it was about the way the club is actually being run these days. We seem to stumble through the day now with the term 'bad luck' being used far too often for my liking.
30 Jun 2021 15:04:30
Nuno for Tottingham seemingly. First home game, too. Interesting, very interesting.
1.) 30 Jun 2021 21:09:46
If rumours are to be believed, Coady is on Nuno’s wish list. He must be priced high if approached by Tottenham. I mean really high!
2.) 30 Jun 2021 21:44:39
Over the coming days and weeks the rumours will be:
Kane to be sold by Spurs and the money used to buy Neves, Coady and Traore from Wolves.
3.) 01 Jul 2021 07:10:51
Personally I think he will go in for neves and Neto when fit, can’t see him going for coady, and if he did wolves would want big money for him, would spurs pay that, interesting days ahead.
4.) 01 Jul 2021 09:00:42
Only rumours, but do we try for, Costa, boateng, paulinho, at 32yrsvold?
5.) 01 Jul 2021 09:57:54
If they're will to accept vastly reduced wages then yes but somehow I can't see Boateng or Costa accepting less than £100k a week and that's if they take a pay cut.
6.) 01 Jul 2021 09:59:28
Im sure the rumours will be rife regarding Wolves players going to Spurs but it would be v odd to think Wolves will sell players to Spurs just because our ex manager is there. Its not like Spurs are known to be a club that hugely overpays for its players.
Also although they are nominally one of the big 6 if they sell Kane the rest of the squad is fairly ordinary and thin - note Bale and Vinicius are gone. To me it looks like they will need to buy a new CF and at least one CB before they should be looking at Coady, Neves or Traore.
7.) 01 Jul 2021 10:35:56
Could be some swapsies on the cards?
8.) 01 Jul 2021 12:25:39
Can't see Neto playing for Nuno if gossip is true that he had a bust up with Nuno for playing him whilst injured.
9.) 01 Jul 2021 12:56:06
Sevlow - suspect most of their players will be on wages that are, in Wolves terms at least, far too high for their ability.
Even then apart from Son and Kane who are of course are top class, I'm not that certain they have much we would want. Lloris is in the Patricio stage of his career and at CB they probably are weaker than us with only Alderweild (sp? ) being top class. I'd think Semedo and Otto are just as good as any of their, admittedly competent, 4 WBs. Neves would be the best CM in either squad and obviously you wouldn't swap anyone they have apart from Son/ Kane for Neto or Traore.
This is why until last seaon's debacle we were a peer of Spurs and in my view ahead of Arsenal.
We are a good team we just had a v bad year!
Get it right this summer and get the injured players back and we will be fine. We have given away a lot of ground so it won't be easy but despite a lot of doom and gloom we can return to the upward trajectory if we don't repeat the errors of last summer.
10.) 01 Jul 2021 13:08:37
Very good analysis TFSG. So interesting to see how matters unfold.
11.) 01 Jul 2021 14:11:31
My double swap would be Sissoko and Son for Neves and Podence.
12.) 01 Jul 2021 16:01:10
Sevlow - that is a smart and interesting move.
Son > Podence but Neves > Sissoko.
Frankly i'd give a quite bit of cash as well as Son>>> Podence (I like Podence but Son is v v good) and whilst Neves may be >> Sissoko goalscoring players are far more important than CMs particularly DCM.
If, as we are told, Nuno is besotted with Semedo then I'd be willing to chuck him in either instead of Podence or as well with a RB Aurier coming back. If we were playing WBs not FBs I'd take Doherty but I gather Lage plays 4 at the back.
13.) 01 Jul 2021 17:25:25
When the dirt comes out from the molineux you won't think so highly of nuno. Me I hope he's sacked by xmas.
14.) 02 Jul 2021 12:47:01
All our decent players will end up at spurs. Fosun have no money so it's one way from here down.
15.) 04 Jul 2021 17:30:46
Sevlow - MSN are pickng up on your story of Sissoko to Wolves! Either you are a real genius, "in the know" or they really have nothing else to write.
Interesting though - a player who for me flattered for France but has not pulled up trees at Spurs but has def got legs and is big and strong.
Not quite as good as Dendonker but in similar mould?

Alehouse football.Give it to Krejci to lump it up to Tolu who doesn't win it. Possession back to Forest. Rinse and repeat.
1.) 11 Feb 2026 20:31:50
I’ll probably make myself look an arse when Wolves come out in the second half and play like prime Barcelona, but I said after the Chelsea game I think it’s the beginning of the end for Rob Edwards. He’s woefully out of his depth, and take Mane out of the picture, he’s no better than VP. Possibly he’s worse.
2.) 11 Feb 2026 21:54:36
Ok so we fire Edwards who realistically are we going to attract? Who would want to put there reputation on the line and work under the clowns that own the club.Best part of 60 million banked in January 7 spent we all know we won’t be spending that 50 odd million or the 100 plus million that will come in the summer we will sign has beens and free transfers only wolves could get rid of one incompetent ceo and appoint one equally as bad I don’t think guo understands just what a pigs ear esports billy made from a squad on the verge of champions league football to a squad on the verge of the championship with just one win.Is Edwards the man? truth is with owners who don’t care and a ceo whose knowledge of football you could write on the back of a postage stamp it really doesn’t matter who the manager is nothing will change under this regime.
07 Jan 2026 20:18:47
Same old Hwang. Can't hold on to the ball, can't pass to a teammate, can't shoot accurately. Can lose possession to set up opponents attacks.Pull your finger out!
02 Nov 2025 13:06:03
For what it's worth folks, here are the current odds:
Rodgers 4/1 Available
Ten Hag 5/1 Available
Conceicao 10/1 In Saudi
Muscat 12/1 Available soon
Terzic 16/1 Available (ex Dortmund)
Rydstom16/1 Available
Hutter 16/1 Available (recent Monaco sacking)
Knutsen16/1 At Bodo Glimt
1.) 02 Nov 2025 13:38:10
Who's Shi backing? He needs to win the money back if the clubs' self funding.
2.) 02 Nov 2025 13:41:14
Hurry up we could fit in another two managers before this season is out.
3.) 02 Nov 2025 13:42:09
Interesting list Old but Jeff and Fosun are still around so what happens next doesn't fill me with much confidence. Jeff presumably will be the one to select who will be our 6th Manager/Coach in a little over 5 years
I wonder if they've been quietly doing their homework and how quickly they'll move on a replacement, in the meantime who fills the gap as presumably VP's team will go with him? Whoever it is can we please get someone who realises that if you don't score you can't win football matches, just for a change.
4.) 02 Nov 2025 13:51:03
I’d go for Rogers, pretty good CV, wants to return to the prem, and he’s available, no compensation to pay out. Offer him a good deal with a massive bonus if he keeps us up. Ten Hag has been at too many ‘big’ clubs to come here or be in a relegation battle.
Conceicao I think will be looking for way more money than Fosun will pay him, Muscat, as much as I loved him down here as a player, has he done much as a gaffer? What’s his record, and at what level. We need to be looking at a better standard than Muscy
5.) 02 Nov 2025 13:57:10
Brendan Rodgers for me
6.) 02 Nov 2025 13:59:37
Not a clue who is the best choice, assuming of course whoever it is can be convinced to come. Someone with passion and have us playing more attacking football, which should not be that difficult.
VP has come out saying he almost left at the start of the season as he feared that the they had not replaced the players sold adequately.
Thought he had the say on transfers but maybe not, down to Jeff again as ever, he not going anywhere unfortunately, we can only assume from this that Fosun are happy, unbelievable.
7.) 02 Nov 2025 14:25:44
Robbie Keane?
8.) 02 Nov 2025 14:44:42
We were rumoure to be interested in concicao some time ago, but could we afford him? And the big question for any of em, would they want to come?
9.) 02 Nov 2025 15:18:22
Rodgers definitely favourite and is open to accepting the job apparently.
But fosun keen on gary oniel.
10.) 02 Nov 2025 16:26:35
The root cause is Fosun and Shi-sell up and go
11.) 03 Nov 2025 07:08:57
Knutson Bodo Glimt! Good call.old Wolf. A saviour from the Arctic circle like Santa.
19 Aug 2025 20:06:25
Oh dear. I think we've just witnessed why Vitor was happy to let Djiga go out on loan to Rangers. Calamitous error for Brugge goal.
1.) 20 Aug 2025 09:07:02
Indeed Old, add to this that he was sent off a couple of games before on a straight red! I know it's early days but I can't help feeling that this will be another £10m that the club has wasted on a player who just isn't up to the Prem! ?
11 May 2025 17:24:03
Isn't that another £1.5m in our coffers from the MGW sale now Forest have European football?
1.) 11 May 2025 20:26:24
Bonus. Not sure Forest will claw much more than that back in the Europa league.
2.) 12 May 2025 11:50:55
Well they'd get around £4m if they lose all the group games as I understand the prize breakdown. And given that Spurs and Man U have both made the final this year, I'd guess they'd not lose all 8 games.
3.) 12 May 2025 12:08:15
I suspect more likely they'll get conference football rather than europa league but let's see.
4.) 12 May 2025 13:24:06
Arddunby, no they're in Europa league. Under the current situation, the Conference league will either be no English team (if Chelsea win it) or the team finishing 8th.
03 Feb 2026 06:45:44
Can't agree with your suggested players Good. Ward Prowse is excellent at free kicks but not too much else and is slow too boot. Phillips has had more than enough chance at West Ham and Ipswich but flopped. There's a reason why he's dropped a division to Sheff Utd.
We'll see if he can resurrect his career there. Armstrong has good figures in the Championship ( see my post above) while the Angel acquisition is a relative no lose one on the face of it and at this stage no one really knows if he'll be with us next season.
02 Feb 2026 22:35:58
In 23/24 Armstrong scored 24 and had 13 as
sists in the Championship and this season has scored 11 with 4 assists. If he can carry on with these sort of figures next season we'll all be happy.
Might not be good enough for the Premier league but that's no issue at present as we won't be featuring in the top league after this season until Aug '27 at the very earliest (and that will take some doing).
02 Feb 2026 04:18:22
Indeed Good but that's a different point to the one you seemed to be making. We all know our recruitment ability has taken an absolute nosedive in recent seasons.
01 Feb 2026 23:09:59
Tell that to Gerd Muller, Ray.
01 Feb 2026 20:52:46
What's wrong with selling players for a handsome profit, Good? The scenario we are much more used to is offloading players for a big loss. Fabio, Guedes being recent examples which eclipse the odd decent profit made such as for Cunha and hopefully Larsen.
17 Feb 2026 20:37:50
Bit of grey matter required to tell warmer or heavier Abbey so I'm not having this particular conspiracy theory.
17 Feb 2026 18:33:39
59 years not 49! Tempus fugit.
17 Feb 2026 18:18:31
Was at that game (49 years ago tomorrow!) and I normally went in the North Bank but sat in the Molineux Street stand for the first and only time. Terry Wharton opened the scoring and Everton (cup holders) equalised from the spot (Alan Ball) around 20 minutes from full time. Attendance 53, 439.
17 Feb 2026 16:56:07
If you think those two that were pulling the balls out have sufficient intellect and guile to be able to do that can I please have some of what you're on, Deep.
16 Feb 2026 08:02:21
Wolves had a good pitch in the 60's Doog although it did wear as the season went on. Baseball ground was in a different league where mud is concerned.
