Are we actively looking at the Turkish league as its still open for transfers?
1.) 05 Sep 2024 11:26:43
We can't sign no one now mate only free agents who were free before the transfer window I think.
2.) 05 Sep 2024 11:59:11
We can't recruit from Turkish league as our window closed on Friday but we can still sell a player to them.
3.) 05 Sep 2024 12:06:30
We can't buy but can sell I believe.
4.) 05 Sep 2024 18:22:42
Free agents only I believe?
19 Aug 2023 22:57:02
I've heard a rumour in house that we are up for sale. Any truth in this?
1.) 20 Aug 2023 08:36:08
If we are, Mr Guanchang will not be getting a decent price!
After just 2 games, next weekend is a HUGE game. The very least we need is a point from our visit to Everton.
I am ever optimistic, our majority shareholder, MrGuangchang was over for the game. I really, really, hope he is here to change the Leadership of the Club.
Under Dalrymple, 3 memorable seasons, under Shi's direct control all of that wasted. Complete financial mismanagement which has created the FFP situation, 6 poor transfer windows under Shi and a failure to generate decent commercial income to offset the misspending on "big-ticket" players who haven't delivered.
That is ours and Mr G's issue Ragingbull, awful Club management!
2.) 20 Aug 2023 10:49:30
There maybe some truth that we are up for Sale, That's probably what we needs to happen, Fosun have took us far had they can no more investment but I wudnt be surprised if a few more go.
3.) 20 Aug 2023 11:14:06
RagingBull I heard this from Asda delivery driver on 11/08/23 and posted the same.You replied pmsl.
Was told it’s Americans and will be in three weeks which just happens to be when the transfer window closes and the owners have sold who they can sell to recover losses.
4.) 20 Aug 2023 11:56:22
If it is a sale the timing seems strange. Fosun is a global investment company and would have been more likely to sell when Wolves were a more attractive prospect. At present they are a club hindered by FFP, which will be the same for a new owner, and a possible scenario of championship football on the horizon. It is possible Fosun are under pressure to raise cash, but what they would get for Wolves is small beer.
5.) 20 Aug 2023 12:16:08
Let's wait and see, but looking at the history of US owners of English clubs, I wouldn't expect significant investment to suddenly become available.
6.) 20 Aug 2023 13:43:12
I've not heard much of the sale since, think it's all twoddle tbh.
7.) 20 Aug 2023 13:58:22
I would say it's more to do with the Chinese government instructing China based businesses to invest more into China as their economy is struggling and do not want companies to invest overseas. There is no other reason as to why Fosun would all of a sudden want to make Wolves less valuable by getting relegated (FFP is there but it's being a smokescreen also, as people in the Football Financial circles have said that the Nevis sale covered that issue). Their idea is get the funds in know then sell on maybe for a reduced value knowing that nearly £100 million has been already banked.
8.) 20 Aug 2023 14:41:14
The way the chairman was dressed - he ain't selling.
9.) 20 Aug 2023 15:32:32
Chairman was dressed as an American would dress.
Doubt if he wears those clothes on a daily basis.
10.) 20 Aug 2023 22:21:53
I'm out in Tunisia at the moment which is a majority Arabic country. Rumour over here is that if the Qatari bid fails for Man Utd, he will turn his attention to another PL club, possibly Wolves.
11.) 21 Aug 2023 12:28:49
Jas, interesting. You're one of the sensible, reliable fans on this site, so I'll take your rumour seriously. I think our owner may have realised the scale of the task at Wolves to deliver on the original project's timescale. That said, every PL club is potentially for sale anyway. So, who knows. The tide has completely turned from the Chinese ownership model in favour of the-oil rich Arabian states. The only other viable ownership model is the USA.
12.) 21 Aug 2023 13:42:56
Google English football club ownership and lòk at yhe Wikipedia entry, significant US ownership exists in the top 2 divisions.
13.) 21 Aug 2023 13:44:50
Correction Jas, I meant that almost every PL club is potentially for sale. Have to ignore the sovereign-wealth ownership clubs. Looks like a Sheikh or a Yank is our only hope for a change of ownership at Wolves!
14.) 21 Aug 2023 14:45:03
If we had taken our chances and won at utd drawn or beat Brighton by again taking our chances would this feed be like it is?
Believe in Raging that he posting rumour he heard that's genuine.
Football results are everything to fans.
15.) 21 Aug 2023 15:33:15
I did think it was interesting that the boss was at the game, pictured alongside Guanchang and Shi.
16.) 22 Aug 2023 20:38:39
Shi is owner of Poundland rumours spreading were on verge of clinching a striker from poundland.deal is over 7 years .50% off food wow £7 for a striker.
23 Jul 2023 16:17:23
Jimenez to Fulham.
Lemina to Liverpool.
Could be an exciting few weeks of incomings .
1.) 23 Jul 2023 16:33:56
Lemina to Liverpool, don't talk dribble please
2.) 23 Jul 2023 16:46:35
Our war-chest is filling up nicely. I'm expecting three or four quality signings over the next couple of weeks or so.
3.) 23 Jul 2023 17:40:57
Lemina to Liverpool has already been debunked as a rumour from a troll twitter account.
4.) 23 Jul 2023 17:55:13
Jimenez transfer is a good deal for Wolves.
5.) 23 Jul 2023 18:12:21
I wouldn't be surprised if there were to be a problem with his medical .
6.) 23 Jul 2023 18:51:29
I would be surprised lost, considering he played in the final game of the season. What do you know that the player and club don't?! ?
7.) 23 Jul 2023 20:35:48
BullysBoy He had an operation in the summer on what I believe was a groin injury, therefore has been training away from the rest of the squad as he buils up his fitness. So could very well have issues passing a medical
8.) 23 Jul 2023 21:37:36
Wolves wouldn't waste time if they thought there was a risk with an injury.
I'd imagine the groin issue is a slight problem and something the medical at Fulham can sort.
He actually looks in really good shame but we can't risk another season of 5 goals or less from him.
I wish him and his family all the best.
9.) 23 Jul 2023 21:38:56
BB, since his injury, he is reluctant to head the ball. Not ideal for a striker. He obviously has a major problem, that's why we are selling him.
10.) 23 Jul 2023 22:03:55
I get that Lost but pretty sure Fulham will be aware as it was one of the most well publicised injuries in the last few years! If there's a problem there's a problem but like Mad says if they were conocered I suspect they have done it behind closed doors! As for the move all Fulham need is cover for Mitrovic which they will then sell for silly money.
11.) 24 Jul 2023 07:27:14
Jimenez has been a great player for us BB, I sincerely wish him well for the future and hope that his move to Fulham is a success.
12.) 24 Jul 2023 10:53:03
Hear hear to that lostcity. As we know our exs' always seem to score against us. I don't expect any celebration if he does.
01 Sep 2022 21:25:51
Boubakar Traore in. Great addition. Just need to finish our efforts in front of goal and it could be a successful season.
17 Jun 2022 07:53:43
Morning all. I'm trying my best to not be led my the media coverage but I can't help but feel disappointed with the potential hijacking of our transfer targets from last season. Newly promoted teams as well. The mind boggles. Money truly dictates the mind of these prima donas.
Jeff please surprise us all so we can relax.
1.) 17 Jun 2022 10:49:14
The next statement from the club will say something like ‘We were open to signing players and money was ready but no one was available who was better than we already have at the club.’
2.) 17 Jun 2022 12:37:21
Just thinking the same E.

To think at one point we were looking like swapping divisions with them. Ah, never mind!
23 Feb 2025 12:22:27
What's everyone's thoughts % wise that Cunha will start next season with us and if so, what promises would you think he'd need to be given by the club to commit.
1.) 23 Feb 2025 14:11:28
If we can have a really strong finish to the season and finish mid table I believe 70% chance cunha will stay with us.Vitor needs to build the team around Cunha and convince him by strengthening the squad in the summer and really pushing on next season.
COYW
2.) 23 Feb 2025 14:40:22
Upto the club to show ambition and build team around Cunha, based on the last couple years I can’t see it happening and will probably see Cunha leave to a club that’s got European football, Wolves will sell and make excuses for PSR, I hope i'm wrong of cause.
3.) 23 Feb 2025 14:40:56
Problem you s his head could be turned by paper talk, saying he should play in Europe. I suspect he will go if a real offer comes in
4.) 23 Feb 2025 15:50:32
Agree wolfo, we need to make a clear
Statement, to bring in some more class players, then maybe cunha will hang around. I didn't see the match. So relying on those who did. For comments, so did djiga do ok,
Did lima do ok.
We could be on the verge of becoming a force in the prem next season.
With the new faces we brought in
Getting up to speed
The youth we have access to,
And maybe four quality additions
In the summer,
That is if we stay up.
5.) 23 Feb 2025 16:05:01
Probably if a champions league club came in for Cunha he would go. In the current climate I doubt most clubs outside the champions league would be prepared to pay the release fee.
6.) 23 Feb 2025 18:28:17
Difficult one really regarding Cuhna. At Wolves he's idolised by the fans and virtually guaranteed to play every game. Does he want to become a Neto or Grealish, bit part players and not deemed by their respective fan base as good enough. I suspect Fosun will really need to show ambition in the summer though if we stand any chance of retaining him. I honestly think we have the makings now of a really good team and VP has instilled discipline.
Semado will probably go next year but Lima looks an excellent prospect. Sarabia will go, and if possible we should sell Guedes, Hwang, Fabio, Sasa, and maybe a few of the other loanee's to raise what we can to offset the signings in January and help fund any new purchases or loans in the summer. This is all assuming we avoid relegation.
7.) 23 Feb 2025 21:10:23
Wow love all the optimism on here about Wolves- although oddly seemingly not with regard to Cunha's ability.
In my view Wolves currently have one of the best players in the Premier League in their ranks.
If Isak is a £160m player Cunha at £62.5m is the bargain of the century and why would any of the top 8 or 9 teams in the Prem, (who all can easily afford that fee), plus another dozen or so in Europe not rip our hands off to steal him at that price.
Sadly I don't like being a "deathshead" but the short answer is virtually zero.
Will post a long answer - why it isn't zero - on Monday.
8.) 23 Feb 2025 22:24:07
I would think it would be pretty much zero % Raging. What can the club promise him? The club has to make money for itself now as Fosun have other priorities and are committed to cutting the groups borrowings.
I've not read of any changes to the transfer policy so it must mean more of the same. On that basis he will be sold.
9.) 24 Feb 2025 07:39:27
Surely it's a case of 'how many' clubs want cunha, and how many are prepared to pay. 60odd m trigger a release, if only one club offers it its up to cunha if he wants to go, more than one and we have a bidding situation don't we?
I totally agree tfig if others are rated so highly surely we should expect the market to reflect that regarding cunha, but will it?, because, no doubt to meet cunhas satisfaction in his contract its been placed so low.
If things were different we could slap a no bids under £150m on him couldn't we? and clubs would be dancing to our tune.
10.) 24 Feb 2025 11:18:52
Looking at stats for goals scored, Cunha is on 13 in 7th place but 4 of the 6 above him boost there totals with penalty goals. Salah for example 7 of his 25 have been scored from the spot. For a side that has been struggling Cunha's stats are excellent.
11.) 24 Feb 2025 12:12:56
Abbey - sadly I don't think we can get a bidding situation. I believe that unless Cunha waives his rights no one pays more than £62.5m as Cunha simply says which of the clubs who want him he wants to go to and then they pay the £62.5m to Wolves.
The "extra" I guess in theory goes to Cunha in terms of a better contract?
Ed is that how the "release clause"works?
{Ed001's Note - actually, it depends. A release clause (as the term is used by UK journos) requires the payment to be in full, up front, to trigger it. A team that wants to pay over, for example, 3 years, may agree to pay a little extra to get around that up front payment. Or the selling club may agree to waive that requirement to avoid issues with the player, if he wants to go to a particular club only.
Though it is difficult to be sure what the actual clause is regarding Cunha, as they report it as if it is the same as is used in Spain and Portugal. They are not legal in the UK, as Luis Suarez found when he tried to trigger his to leave Liverpool and join Arsenal and lost the court battle. The problem is journalists don't bother to fact check and realise that there are different clauses with regard to transfers.
In Spain, the player has a release clause which requires them to pay up the amount to be released from their contract. That is what a release clause actually is and they are misreporting what Cunha has as a release clause. It is not the same, as the club would be legally required to release the player in Spain and Portugal if the release clause fee is met in full by the player. What happens in practice is, such as in the case of Neymar moving to PSG, the money is provided to the player by the team wishing to sign him, but there is no actual transfer fee ever paid. So when they report Neymar as being amongst the most expensive transfer fees ever paid, you know they are factually incorrect as he actually bought out his contract and joined PSG on a free.
Sorry got sidetracked then!}
12.) 24 Feb 2025 14:09:51
Brilliant info ED!
Many tks
So it is slightly more complicated than I thought.
However you don't sound as if you think Wolves might get say £75m as several clubs want him and are all willing to pay £62.5m and indeed more?
{Ed001's Note - it would depend on Cunha once it goes over the clause. If there is more than one that he is willing to join, then there could be a bidding war between those. So you need to hope he likes the teams after him.}
13.) 24 Feb 2025 15:57:16
Thanks Ed. That sort of clears things up, but of course we don't know what clause cunhas got, I'd imagine he can buy 'himself' out if he wants to. So that 67/70m is most likely it.
24 Jan 2025 10:02:46
How far off fitness is the young French lad who signed in the Summer?
1.) 24 Jan 2025 10:56:40
He's been fully fit since mid December. He just ain't being selected. Seems VP either doesn't rate him or he's not ready to be considered.
2.) 24 Jan 2025 16:01:38
Again like the Pond suggestion we need to be realistic here. I know Meupiyou was well rated when we signed him but he is also still only 18. How many CBs are actually good (or big) enough to start in the Prem at 18, I can't think of many/any that have regularly? Even most of Chelseas 'legion' of young players don't get many minutes and some of those were VERY expensive!
I think it's especially tough for cbs to step up young cause SO much of their game relys on a physicality that they may not have yet. When you look at the lad he could do with a growth spurt/baulking up! I don't mind that he's not playing for us yet but I do hope we FINALLY get adequate cover in the squad so that he and/or Pond can go out on loan and get the minutes they likely need ?
3.) 24 Jan 2025 16:03:15
Although fit, I very much doubt match-fit
16 Jan 2025 22:00:27
Any decent rumours on potential signings?
1.) 17 Jan 2025 06:42:45
17th of the month and counting Raging.
24 Jun 2022 12:25:04
Is the source up the Tree again with his binoculars:)
06 Jun 2021 21:45:57
Defensive midfielders are 2 a penny. If he was instructed to be more offensive i'd keep him as he's got a great shot in his Arsenal. Whoops. :/.
01 Jan 2021 18:07:56
Yes lots of fanfare about Campana. Throw him in Nuno.
28 Nov 2020 11:25:51
Id take 17th place now if the rubbish got relegated and folded as a club.
28 Aug 2020 14:59:43
Wing backs we've got 2 already here that will perform well. That lad from Rochdale is awesome.
06 Jul 2025 22:07:59
I'd personally say thankyou for his service and let him go. He can't defend the far post whatsoever. Let Lima start and Doc as back up for me.
21 Apr 2025 20:43:46

01 Mar 2025 21:47:48
Let's just hope for the best, which is being the 4th worst team in the league. What a bloody waste of a season.
