Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan has reportedly reached an agreement in principle to join Marseille.
It's said that Hwang has agreed personal terms and talks are ongoing between two clubs. Wolves want £30m.

Rated RKO mate put a post on just waiting on coming through about same thing.
2.) 15 Jul 2024 14:07:01

Yes Wolf mate this one was posted at 12:56 the one on banter at 13:45 lol.

Arsenal want Bentley according to Keen.
1.) 07 Jul 2024 18:09:45
Came through the youth system there and is an Arsenal fan apparently.
2.) 08 Jul 2024 08:53:08
Sez wer not interested in selling.id let him go as part of swap deap for ramsdale.bentley is garbage
3.) 08 Jul 2024 09:01:54
What would the plans be for Jose Sa? Ramsdale wants to leave Arsenal as he wants to play. If Sa stays, would Ramsdale come here to bench warm?
4.) 08 Jul 2024 14:37:41
Stop fence sitting with your opinions, Bux. Hasn't Ramsdale got previous with us?
5.) 08 Jul 2024 16:58:13
?in the past old wolf.just don't rate bentley and gives sa real competition unless the saudi rumours ate true of course
6.) 08 Jul 2024 20:47:17
And about past history.i seem to recall we signed a certain young man called steve bull from wba.so.past is past mate
7.) 09 Jul 2024 14:17:06
And Andy Thompson, Alistair Robertson but they had no previous. I'm sure I've seen somewhere that he's riled our fans fairly recently.
8.) 09 Jul 2024 17:02:06
He's a mercenary. He'll go to whoever pays him the highest wages and pretend he's always thought highly of the team.
9.) 10 Jul 2024 16:14:11
Reported Arsenal offered £50k - Arteta needs a reality pill, Aldershot would offer more ??
04 Jul 2024 13:39:13
West Ham have offered £40million for Killman, not accepted yet but club is likely to accept.
1.) 04 Jul 2024 13:47:16
Apparently accepted now rated, sky news.
2.) 04 Jul 2024 13:57:34
Yeah good luck to him, decent player and always gives his best but far from irreplaceable at that price ?
3.) 04 Jul 2024 14:27:03
Bid has been accepted now yes.
4.) 04 Jul 2024 15:29:28
After 15% to Maidenhead leaves £34 million left get maybe one or two replacements with that amount and centre half required with pace if playing 2 at the back. Still think Neto will be gone for the same price.
5.) 04 Jul 2024 18:47:08
Nice windfall for Maidenhead though.
6.) 04 Jul 2024 21:54:26
Apparently to get the deal done Maidenhead have accepted a 5% sell on fee, 4 million so we get 36 million.
7.) 05 Jul 2024 02:37:21
10% mate instead of 20%
03 Jul 2024 14:56:14
3 more signings being worked on I don't know much at the moment but one is a CB, Winger, and LB.
1.) 03 Jul 2024 15:53:17
Interesting that a LB is being looked at - RAN or Bueno heading off?
What makes it more interesting is Rodrigo Gomes can play LWB or RWB.
2.) 03 Jul 2024 16:33:35
Rated RKO mate according to reports Wolves have spent 55mill and money is running short we can still buy but for not very much unless we sell someone. Me personally would sell Kilman and use that money get two CH and a couple of others your saying a winger and LB hopefully comes of.
3.) 03 Jul 2024 19:21:28
Depends on who you believe regarding our finances.
Some say we need to sell as we are about to breach PSR.
Sky did a piece last week saying we didn't need to sell and financially, we are in a strong position.
The club itself haven't said anything but have quietly gone about their business.
4.) 03 Jul 2024 20:34:48
It's the same source that told me about Larson and the kit launch.
5.) 03 Jul 2024 21:45:49
I can't see us pushing our luck with psr. Credit to Jeff here he dealt with it well last time.
6.) 03 Jul 2024 22:11:08
I hope your right Rated.
Looks like the good times are back.
7.) 03 Jul 2024 22:24:24
If true we must be confident we will get (near) what we want for Max. Like I said before not agaisnt it as long as its spent well ?
8.) 04 Jul 2024 10:07:16
I think we have spent a maximum of 33 million so far and could be as low as 20m. I would imagine that the fees for Lima and Gomes will be structured. We are only paying a 3m loan fee for Larsen this window, not the whole 25m. The fee for Doyle will probably come off the fee from City for Nunes.
A good proportion of the outgoings will be covered by selling our unwanted players, Podence and Silva etc.
Hopefully if we do sell Max we can sign another defender and have money left over for another signing or 2 and still balance the books.
I really don't think we'll be pushed to sell anyone on the cheap, it looks like any transfers will be on our terms and we'll sell only if it can benefit us in the long term.
Exciting times!
9.) 04 Jul 2024 14:32:10
I'm waiting for next "Fire sale" headline from the media when we get rid of the deadwood
10.) 04 Jul 2024 16:41:00
Not easy to get shot of deadwood, if we don't want them you can bet no one else will want them unless dirt cheap.
11.) 05 Jul 2024 10:25:27
Desperately need to invest in quality back up Goalkeeper, Bentley and King Div 2 keepers at best
01 Jul 2024 23:26:30
Only hearsay so take with pinch of salt please. Larson to be announced tomorrow or Wednesday alongside new kit, he passed the medical.
1.) 02 Jul 2024 14:05:14
Nailed it!
2.) 02 Jul 2024 14:24:40

"The club are doing their best in the transfer window to do some business and there's
probably a bit more to come, hopefully, with things moving either way"
"We're trying to balance the squad and give ourselves a bit more depth."
1.) 26 Jul 2024 07:41:14
Reckon a lot is going to hinge on wether neto/ran leave and for what fees Rated. Would still like another CB regardless, .
2.) 26 Jul 2024 08:31:40
so bear minimum being done again
3.) 26 Jul 2024 08:41:18
Agree on a new CB, but hopefully we can retain RAN and Neto, and revenue raised through the sales of Silva, Guedes and Podence. Maybe Hoover and Chiquito also. Although we'll make loses on some of those at least we might be able to get them off the wages bill and get a decent CB in.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 09:46:17
We had a decent centre back and sold him to West Ham for £40 million and posters were happy to take the money.
5.) 26 Jul 2024 10:43:40
Kilmans form dropped once Dawson got injured. If we get Elvedi as was rumoured a few weeks ago, that would be an upgrade
6.) 26 Jul 2024 10:59:39
Kilman played 127 games for Wolves between 2018-2024 going from a £40, 000 player to a £40 million pound player.
Craig Dawson has played 42 games for Wolves so if Kilman can’t play without Dawson has Lopetegui made a mistake and should he have signed Dawson for West Ham?
7.) 26 Jul 2024 11:16:55
Really E. Is that why the lost the last 10+ games including a quarter final loss to Coventry in the last minute. Can't and I don't blame him entirely but without Dawson alongside him he didn't look that great. Caught out of position and ball watching too many times.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 11:22:48
123 northst."so bear minimum being done again" - stop me if I'm wrong, but haven't Wolves signed three players already? Some PL clubs haven't made any signings as of yet.
9.) 26 Jul 2024 11:51:48
Didn't Dawson leave West Ham because his family lived in the Midlands?
Kilman was OK but he only got his opportunity because Coady, Boly and Saiss all moved on rather than Kilman taking their place.
10.) 26 Jul 2024 12:19:16
yes from kilmans money so zero from the owners in fosun we trust may apply to you but not me
11.) 26 Jul 2024 12:19:28
123 i'm sure you moan for the sake of it.
12.) 26 Jul 2024 12:28:43
123northst i'm not sure you understand the definition of bear minimum. Signing 4 player and looking to sign more definitely isn’t bear minimum.
And E In bridgenorth I thought you wanted us to be like villa who sell their high value players to be able to buy more. I think you need to make your mind up and maybe research the ffp rules teams have to adhere to, or do you still think we should just ignore them and take point deductions every season?
13.) 26 Jul 2024 14:19:27
Jeff Shi has told us not to expect consistent European football or trophies Goatmark.
This is whilst selling our high value players and replacing them with no PL experience increasing the entrance prices and going with a shirt supplier that no one has heard of to make even more profit.
This is not in line with our Midland rivals as you suggest.
14.) 26 Jul 2024 15:28:21
Stats can prove any point you manipulate it to.
In 22/23 Wolves finished 13th place with 41 points. We then sold or released Neves, Moutinho, Nunes, Collins, Coady, Raul and Adama for ££160m+.
We replaced them with Bueno, Bellegarde, Cunha, B Traore and Doyle and finish up a place lower in 14th but 5 points higher with 46 points meaning that playing wise, we improved.
Not all players have to cost big money.
15.) 26 Jul 2024 15:31:41
These high value players you talk about E, Jota, Neves, Kilman? They didn't have PL experience before we sold them. Look at the ones we've developed Gomes, RAN, H Bueno, Traore, Neto, etc.
Regarding the shirt supplier. Wasn't this our best sponsorship deal ever? Isn't this the way good business works and FFP now?
16.) 26 Jul 2024 15:52:26
Excuse me but isn't it bare as in naked, not bear as in grizzly.
17.) 26 Jul 2024 16:16:36
It is Mike, I realised after sending my response but figured it didn’t really matter. Also I thought I had replied to this thread, didn’t mean to start a new one incase anyone wondered.
18.) 26 Jul 2024 16:44:15
It's no good having a good sponsorship deal on shirts if sales drop dramatically blackfords, and from reading other posters, and by the amount of promos from the club reminding me they're for sale the new kit isn't flying as in other years. This will most probably even out over the season when protesting and holidays are over, especially if we enjoy a good one, but sadly a branded shirt carries abit more 'kudos' fom a buying/wearing point of view.
Maybe the profit margins are greater from the deal but being an oldie who has collected almost every shirt/replicas over time I'm finding it hard to be tempted by this seasons effort and am dreading the black wolf print 2nd strip if the leaked photos are to be believed.
As I say I'm an oldie and as such I'm also lamenting the loss of a membership card in order to save money and go digital. We'll, at least I'll have a drinks bottle and badge!.
Ps. I agree with your comments re players and sadly the business aspect with the shirts if it comes off.
19.) 26 Jul 2024 17:23:44
I bought the replica kit made by that world renowned clothing giant Bukta back in the 1990s.
20.) 26 Jul 2024 17:52:29
And the Nutmeg one!
21.) 26 Jul 2024 18:52:48
One of favourites was the dark nutmeg, goodyear with town (as was then) crest, wandering star. But, maybe because we we back in the prem, the adidas would be my favourite I think.
22.) 26 Jul 2024 19:32:58
My personal favourite is the Sky Blue 1991/92 away kit by Bukta because I was at the ground in either 94 or 95 and managed to get Peter Shirtliff, Geoff Thomas, Mike Stowell, Steve Bull, David Kelly, Mark Venus, Jamie Smith and John De Wolf to sign it.
23.) 27 Jul 2024 06:36:27
That was a catch WS, I hope you've got it framed or well preserved.will be worth a Bob or two.
02 Jul 2024 19:10:35
Lima now confirmed £8.4million on a 5 year deal with 1 year option.
1.) 02 Jul 2024 20:38:21
Yes just saw it in the E&S. I expect some outgoings now. Hopefully Silva, Guedes and Podence.
2.) 02 Jul 2024 23:12:41
Podence is wanted by a few clubs.
3.) 03 Jul 2024 11:19:53
My local swimming club might like Podence, for his diving.
02 Jul 2024 14:19:23
Jorgen Strand Larsen will take the number 9 shirt at Wolves and the player is delighted.
But he's also taking no prisoners on the field:
"If I have to lose three teeth in a game, then I will do it"
1.) 02 Jul 2024 14:52:54
Young people between 21 and 26 get 50 % discount from the dentist in Norway. Good to know.
2.) 02 Jul 2024 16:43:25
Yep, welcome Jorgen, glad you've joined the pack and wishing you all the goals you can give.
On another note what's the feeling on the new shirts? They remind me of a under 11s kit with the centralised badge, and a 60s' style in the round striped collar. I'm afraid the stand out jacquard texture dosnt do it for me either. Even at £58 they look more overpriced.
3.) 02 Jul 2024 21:04:27
Didn't we have a central badge in the 70's - 3 Wolves admittedly but still central
4.) 03 Jul 2024 04:38:47
Yes wolfie7 but that was a little more 'artistic' then.
5.) 03 Jul 2024 09:14:59
And, wolfie7, we still had the wolf head or WW printed on the left chest as well. The new ones to me look lower league.
06 Jun 2024 14:05:34
From BBC
Premier League clubs have voted by 19-1 in favour of keeping video assistant referees (VAR) next season.
Wolves triggered a vote on the use of VAR in the 2024-25 season after formally submitting a resolution to the Premier League in May.
In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of doing so.
However, BBC Sport understands Wolves failed to gain support at Thursday's annual general meeting.
The Premier League has come under increasing pressure to modify VAR, which was introduced at the start of the 2019-20 season.
It was reaffirmed at the meeting that semi-automated offsides will be introduced at some point in the autumn, while the Premier League confirmed in-game VAR announcements will be put in place.
The in-game announcements, which were used during the 2023 women's World Cup, will see referees explain post-VAR decisions to supporters in stadiums.
1.) 06 Jun 2024 17:09:08
After contemplating the result of this afternoons VAR vote I feel I need to respond to the rest of our Premier League colleagues in a mature and adult manner so here goes . Scardey-cats, scaredy-cats you don’t know what you’re looking at. There that’s me feeling better. Only 1 club with Cahunas.
2.) 07 Jun 2024 06:22:48
And, accordingly to Sky ports poll, 72-73% of people (fans) don't want it. But then we're only paying to have our enjoyment ruined aren't we?
3.) 07 Jun 2024 11:51:41
You watch all the other19clubs moan about it next ssn tho.when they cudv joined the cause and tried to change it they ran scared. So suck it up and take it when it goes against them.which it will
29 May 2024 15:49:08
Karius is available on a free decent keeper, your thoughts?
1.) 29 May 2024 16:56:01
Decent back-up, I don't rate Bentley if I'm being honest.
2.) 30 May 2024 10:46:26
If I'm honest I expect Sa to leave and like you FJ I don't think Bently is an answer for starting or back up. It seems open knowledge we've been looking, but the thing that amuses me is that king as signed a new contract this year, coaching I guess.
24 Jul 2024 12:38:49
Not seen anything about that via sources I get Wandering mate.
I know we're after a 19 year old £3million is asking price.
15 Jul 2024 14:35:55
Yes Wolf mate this one was posted at 12:56 the one on banter at 13:45 lol.
05 Jul 2024 02:37:21

Nice windfall for Maidenhead though.

Bid has been accepted now yes.
26 Jul 2024 12:19:28
123 i'm sure you moan for the sake of it.
23 Jul 2024 14:29:32
Forest won't spend £100million they are under ffp restrictions still.
23 Jul 2024 01:53:52
Swap him for Silva.
07 Jul 2024 02:07:34
Allready put a bet on us finishing top 7 next season 10/1 odds.
02 Jul 2024 23:12:41
Podence is wanted by a few clubs.
