Apparently a 20m bid rejected for Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardosa. Lemina deal agreed to Saudi club
1.) 30 Jan 2025 14:51:07
South, I sense Hobbs and his team working hard to attract players.
Not sure anyone of note would want to come and work with Shi and his bosses.
ps
Lemina seems to have gone. a couple of million only. A sad ending to a player, before whatever bust-up, helped keep us up two seasons ago.
Led by example, something we are missing now.
Feels like panic stations again at the moment.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 15:00:08
funny all the rejected bids we make jeff shi b/S
3.) 30 Jan 2025 16:58:16
I'm sure Neymar said no last week as well.
4.) 30 Jan 2025 17:19:16
How do we know about all these bids 123? It's mostly paper talk and clickbait. I'm sure agents leak some detail to hike fees.
We don't normally talk about our business until its done, unless they want to give the impression they're trying.
I'm getting bored with it all now.
One thing wouldn't surprise me after cundle only going to Millwall for 1m, would be our signing of their CB we'd been linked with, I forget his name.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 18:00:56
Tanganga Abbey. He's not bad I've watched a few Millwall games recently just to see. He's good in the air and passes very well, I'm sure he'd do a decent job. Seems to have sorted himself out after he lost his way a bit at Spurs (who doesn't)
6.) 30 Jan 2025 18:09:19
Also Tanganga plays on the left side.
7.) 30 Jan 2025 18:52:42
Yea thanks Ken, I could see a fee off setting cundles true value.
8.) 31 Jan 2025 07:40:20
bet sell to the villa keep the £60 million then we did not have time to get anyone in forson out cancer in our club
18 Nov 2022 18:35:38
Word coming out including Liam Keen, that Sellars has been sacked/departing. Apparently offered a different role but refused so discussing pay off. COYW
1.) 18 Nov 2022 19:53:31
According to Sports Witness (not Witless ?)
“Wolverhampton Wanderers appointment of Fran Garagarza to Julen Lopetegui’s backroom staff is an attempt to ‘have more freedom’ from Jorge Mendes in the transfer market.
That’s according to Estadio Deportivo, who cover the appointment of the Spanish coach to Lopetegui’s team today.
The new Wolves boss confirmed this week that Garagarza and his son, Daniel Lopetegui, would be a part of the scouting network at Molineux under his leadership.
Both are somewhat unknown entities given they’ve spent their careers in Spain thus far and Estadio provide a background on Garagarza today.
They label him as an ‘elite sporting director’, stating that he was one of the ‘most sought-after’ managers in Spanish football, where he is ‘highly-regarded’ for his work.
This comes from his ten-year spell in charge at Eibar, where they enjoyed the best period of their existence as a regular fixture in La Liga.
His work there earned him plenty of praise and suitors, with Real Zaragoza having been keen and Betis also considering him before deciding on Antonio Cordón instead.
Now he’s at Wolves, and that move is seen as an effort by Julen Lopetegui to ‘have more freedom’ in the transfer market and not be ‘constrained’ by Jorge Mended.
He is de facto sporting director at Wolves because their owners, Fosun, have a good relationship with him and his agency.
That’s seen a number of Portuguese players turn up at Molineux down the years, but Lopetegui wants to move beyond that and broaden the scope at the club.
Garagarza has been brought in to do so and Estadio say he is ‘undoubtedly’ an appointment that will help the club ‘turn around’ under their new manager.
2.) 18 Nov 2022 20:08:26
Just when we thought things were looking great at our club again . it gets BETTER ??. This really is the news all Wolves fans wanted. Thanks for posting South Banker, and Debbie, a well informative post- thank you
3.) 19 Nov 2022 07:05:07
Oh, Happy Days!
The architect of our demise FINALLY out of the Club.
Since Sellars was appointed "Technical Director" after the sacking Dalrymple at the end of 2019, so many bad decisions relating to football were made. Starting with money being wasted on Semedo and Silva.
It is no coincidence the wonderful "Pack" culture and success both started to disappear. Santo let down in his final season, Lage not supported in his 2 first transfer windows, Coady allowed to leave, in the those 5 transfer windows, lack of goals not addressed, mismanagement of development players etc etc.
I know I have banged on about this since the waste of £65+ million on Semedo and Silva, but this news feels like the equivalent of us buying a £75 million striker!
You got there eventually Fosun, thank you.
ps
I guess Fosun now have to decide how to use Shi and his role going forward.if he is retained.
4.) 19 Nov 2022 12:37:57
I think Sellars was probably elevated out of his depth. In fairness at U23 and youth level recruitment hasn't been the disaster that first team level has and the u23's (sorry its u21 now) are now in the top division and seem to be holding there own. If he was offered another role it sounds like Sellars was not to keen on staying himself.
All of that said it might appear to some that Garagarza is being bought in to oversee Daniel Lopetegui's progression in the role. Long term I have doubts about that arrangement. Football management is a precarious occupation will we be looking for a whole new scouting network when time is eventually called on J Lo's tenure of the hot seat.
5.) 19 Nov 2022 12:45:48
I wonder was Sellars a type Director of Football? in an unofficial capacity - maybe he saw an opportunity when Laurie Dalrymple left? it’s very hard to say.
But as the article I copied and pasted above suggests that Wolves won’t be as reliant on Jorge Mendes clientele in terms of recruitment. I really do hope this is the case.
One thing did cross my mind (now this is a thought and thought only) was Sellars getting any cash from the buying of JM’s players? this isn’t uncommon in football, this rumour has followed Gary Monk from his managerial time at Swansea to Middlesbrough to B/ham City (though Monk heavily denies this). It is feasible that SS was in Jeff Shi’a ear about certain players that were very over valued. Ultimately I believe JS put too much stock in the advise given from SS.
What is clear is that Wolves / Fosun are rectifying the wrongs. Have a nice weekend all, Wolves ay we!
6.) 19 Nov 2022 15:28:54
Sellars didn't have the ability to do the same role as Darymple, his strength was working in the youth set up, being at the high table in premier league is a big gig, Shi has to foot some of the blame for allowing it to unravel so much.
As said a few weeks back, I had a good feeling that the tide was to turn, it seems we now have the correct structure in place, that seems to be all Loputegi's doing, here's a very smart and strong willed manager who wants the right people in the right places singing from the same hymn sheet.
I think we are in for a good second half of season
7.) 19 Nov 2022 16:38:15
Easy to criticize Sellars but have to ask yourself who gave him such an important position. Being involved with Academy football is light years away from the job he was given. Makes.e wonder if the thinking was to get rid of Dalrymple then promote replacement in house, takes a wage off the books and gives Shi more power. Director of Football is is much too important to trust a novice.
8.) 20 Nov 2022 20:36:52
Scott was a victim of the Peter principle simple as that .
Moving away from Jorge no chance . But Wolves have tried extending there scouting more widespread but have failed due to internal structure so naturally fall back to gestifute for signings . New structure to find more hidden gems . Most will end up in gestifute stable
17 Oct 2022 22:50:17
Peter Bosz the latest to supposedly have had an interview. Ex Dortmund, Ajax and Lyon manager. Definitely feels like they're taking their time with this one, maybe because we didn't have a plan b ?
1.) 18 Oct 2022 08:01:01
Not exactly filling me with confidence.just go all out for poch.coz at this rate wel be linked with mike bassett next!
2.) 18 Oct 2022 09:52:12
Listening to talk sport this morning there is a muttering that poch is wanted by villa if stevie g can’t turn the results, he has 2 games to do this and poch is the man they want. Only saying what talk sport reported this morning.
3.) 18 Oct 2022 10:47:07
I read that yday.so why aren't we interested in him instead of all these deadheads wer being linked with.?
4.) 18 Oct 2022 11:05:37
As all above, why can't we set our sights higher?
Simple theory, Sh and Sellars just don't have the right connections!
5.) 18 Oct 2022 11:40:28
A manager like Poch would not tolerate an incompetent like Sellars, and unfortunately Sellars knows that.
6.) 18 Oct 2022 12:01:16
Perhaps we are not interested in him. However, how do you know that we have not approached him? How would you know that he hasn't said no to us and instead wants to bide his time and wait for a big-hitting Champions League club to approach him. How do you know he would say yes to Villa? You are making some very sweeping assumptions based upon very dodgy "information".
7.) 18 Oct 2022 12:52:37
Wolves have spoken to Poch already.
8.) 18 Oct 2022 23:13:03
Lads were not getting a top manager in, they don’t want to pay, lage one of the lowest in the league, they’re trying to get someone in on the cheap as usual
16 Aug 2022 08:15:00
Fabrizio has just tweeted Nunes accepted deal, medical today. COYW
1.) 16 Aug 2022 08:53:43
Fabrizio is never wrong.
Huge signing.
2.) 16 Aug 2022 09:11:47
Fabrizio Romano is the new Jorge Mendes of the rumour world! He isn't wrong very often, if at all!
'Huge signing for Wolves' - his words
15 Aug 2022 22:24:25
Sources in Portugal saying Nunes deal is done, 45m + 5m add ons.
1.) 15 Aug 2022 23:02:48
Same news on Italian TV, Fabrizio Romano and he never commits unless it's right!
2.) 15 Aug 2022 23:21:22
Nunes and ajorque incoming that would take spending to over£100 million looks like we do mean business ps the same person told me about guedes.
3.) 15 Aug 2022 23:54:21
Brilliant if it actually gets over the line. Now a striker and happy days.
4.) 16 Aug 2022 00:32:05
If this does come off and we keep Neves then this is a game changer. Together they would give us one of the best midfied pairings in Europe. If the sale of Neves is the sting in the tail though then it will be one step forward, two steps back. We still need a centre forward but well done Fosun if this comes off.
5.) 16 Aug 2022 00:39:56
Yep we're in advanced talks.
I said at end of last season now ffp punishment is gone we will spend.
6.) 16 Aug 2022 03:13:00
Romano has only said that the clubs have agreed a fee. the talks with the player are ongoing. Given what we know from earlier in the summer (that he's holding out for Champions League football via an EPL team) I'd say we shouldn't get too excited just yet.
It would be absolutely massive if they did pull it off though!
7.) 16 Aug 2022 03:57:50
John Percy is reporting similar.

Just read swap deal with Coady and Dawson on the cards!
1.) 03 Feb 2025 14:21:04
Coady was excellent for us but what can he add to the squad now?
2.) 03 Feb 2025 14:46:32
Leadership and knowledge to help Djiga and Agbadou who are both young and new to prem and England.
3.) 03 Feb 2025 14:36:17
Leadership qualities for sure! I’m pretty sure I remember an article after the World Cup and it was Southgate’s then assistant, Steve Holland stating that Coady was his player of the tournament for his off field presence - granted we need to get another defender over the line who will actually play in the XI, but in terms of team cohesion, this could be a good move. Daws is unfortunately past his best and as much as I would love to see a resurgence from him, I just can’t see it.
4.) 03 Feb 2025 14:42:08
Only presence and enthusiasm on the basis that this is correct.
5.) 03 Feb 2025 14:58:05
Leadership, standards, certainly calmness cut out emotional outbursts. Possibly on field as well in a 3 probably knows the position better than anyone. The problem may be financial Dawson on 45k Coady on 75k. If they were on the same money I would say do it. more to gain than lose tbh.
6.) 03 Feb 2025 15:03:35
It's highly unlikely coady will play much and will probably end up warming the bench, but his leadership in the group might be the reason for bringing him back.
At the mo, we haven't got many leaders in the squad and one thing coady is' is a leader.
This could be a good shout just from the discipline side of things.
7.) 03 Feb 2025 16:41:46
How can Coady lead from the bench? because that's where he would be most of the time.
20 Oct 2022 18:41:25
Davis in charge until 2023, confirmed on Wolves website. Now that's decided let's get behind him and the boys starting Sunday COYW
1.) 20 Oct 2022 18:56:39
Shi and Sellers will still be there and are again proving thy do not have the experience or contacts to run a premier club, they have relied too heavily on Mendes for transfers and made a lot of bad decisions in getting rid of people who were doing a good job on and of the pitch, Sellers is interfering to much with the first team with only youth football on his cv. We need a clear out if we want to keep our premier league status.
2.) 20 Oct 2022 19:40:28
Once again Baza, spot on.
3.) 20 Oct 2022 20:21:57
And our highly paid players who don't score or assist when they should is that shi sellars fault?
Thankyou for ignoring my post looks like I'm posting crap to everyone.
Carry on enjoy the doom and gloom
Enjoy being peeved off every day every week as shi and sellars have bought players who are going to get us relegated.
4.) 20 Oct 2022 20:44:09
Good points phil and I for one fully agree. There maybe things amiss upstairs but it's the players on the pitch who do the job. Now things may settle down abit and the team will settle into their correct roles. Yhe only way to go is up, so onwards and upwards for me.COYW
5.) 20 Oct 2022 21:20:04
The problem at the top is causing disharmony at the club, right now the players need direction and focus, sacking Bruno without a plan has to have its affect on players and staff, maybe now there's a bit of stability till end of year it may help, not having a happy dressing room causes issues with players.
It's quite possible Martinez is on the radar after World Cup?
06 Sep 2022 11:38:29
Work permit for Diego has been rejected. Verdict in next 48 hours
1.) 06 Sep 2022 12:19:52
That's that then
2.) 06 Sep 2022 12:37:05
Apparently if the appeal is rejected we will explore the possibility of signing Andy Carroll
3.) 06 Sep 2022 12:56:33
Any other club -the deal would have been accepted. Now dead in the water. No thanks to Andy Carroll
4.) 06 Sep 2022 13:05:32
Put one I'd the under 23s in or under 18s
5.) 06 Sep 2022 15:25:06
I totally agree. Get Campbell in the squad now. Young, fit, speedy, knows where the net is. Why waste time, effort and money on a 'has-been' when we are supposedly 'investing' in our youth system.
If they don't do this, what does it say to our young guys?
6.) 06 Sep 2022 18:37:34
Campbell is worth giving a try against Liverpool and City as a short term fix, these aren't games we expect much out of. If the lad takes the chance let him have an extended run. The risk is his confidence gets damaged if it goes badly. We do need someone else with experience in though asap.
7.) 06 Sep 2022 22:02:34
Why are people forgetting guedes? As I understood it he can play centre, and he's got more experience than Campbell. There's a time and place but not anfield now. Tho I still think adamas the man if need be, his presence alone will take defenders away.
03 Sep 2022 18:22:22
Few things from today, good in patches again, when you move the ball quickly look what happens, great move for the goal. Nunes looks an absolute steal, makes it look so easy and what an athlete, box to box all game. Finally to the idiots who booed Hwang when he came on hang your heads in shame! Regardless of your opinion whether you rate him or not, he is one of the pack so get behind every player on the pitch. Fair play to the south bank starting his song. Anyway 3 points on the board so happy days COYW
1.) 03 Sep 2022 18:44:32
Have to agree with your comments, I’d also like to add Hwang played well, defensively speaking.
2.) 04 Sep 2022 07:48:23
As I've said before I like Hwang, every Wolves fan were singing his praises when he first arrived and were adamant we had to sign him, he's going through a rough patch he will get through it just get behind him
3.) 04 Sep 2022 11:34:39
Ok.lets giv him10mins everygame.wen wer winning.oh we did that v newcastle too didn't we
25 Aug 2022 20:30:55
Cutrone going to Como on permanent deal. Pity it didn't work out, I liked him
1.) 26 Aug 2022 13:13:04
Sounds like a good move for all concerned.
23 Jul 2023 15:35:20
Feels like the right time to leave, don't think he's been given a chance since going to world cup. Good price as one year left and not been same since injury but agree it's a surprise staying in prem. Podence training on his own at Compton so definitely freeing up more wages and clearing the decks. Expect few incoming very soon. People moaning about getting rid of players but yet they're the ones been moaning last couple of seasons saying we need an overhauling players not good enough. For me it's much needed and Jlo can get his squad assembled. Exciting season ahead I think COYW
15 Jun 2023 14:38:58
John Percy reporting it as well. Great news so let's get moving in the transfer window. Also he says Coady will be reintegrated and Giles given chance to impress. COYW
03 Dec 2022 18:25:42
Matheus Cunha, striker from Atletico Madrid also apparently done deal as well. JL certainly not messing around by looks of it. COYW
20 Aug 2022 07:45:04
Bullysboy that's exactly what I thought but I know I've read it somewhere ? fingers crossed we get a striker in soon
19 Aug 2022 08:18:37
Bullysboy hard to argue with anything you say and my initial thought with Fabio was exactly the same, why not loan him to championship instead but I have read that he will still qualify for homegrown as he would have had 3 years on our books. I'm not saying what I read is true but I do think it was in the e and s ?
05 Sep 2023 20:16:11
Apparently we're offering a contract to Lingard in the coming days. Personally no thanks, good player with a crap attitude, only interested in the money!
10 Mar 2023 08:20:00
Welcome Cornwall, if you're on Facebook the wolves buy/sell ticket page is very good for home and away tickets, always some popping up on there
18 Jan 2023 10:40:42
Thing with assists is Adama could create 20 chances per game but if the ball doesn't end up in the net he doesn't get an assist. Don't get me wrong he is hit and miss for me but the stats don't always tell the full story. That season when he was unplayable he had about Raul on the end of things, the season after he actually created more chances but we had no-one capable of finishing them off. Obviously this supply's to any winger just using Adama as he's the scapegoat COYW
08 Jul 2022 10:10:16
Hey all, not posted for a while. Glad you enjoyed the tour Phil, I did it couple of years ago with my daughter, wasn't ex players then but the guide was so knowledgeable and really knew the club and what he was talking about. Told us about Nunos way of dealing with half time talks was reverse psychology, if we were crap he'd put arms around the players but if we were playing well he would go on at them. Had photos in the press conference bit, the changing rooms, dugout etc. Is there still a pitch painted on the dressing room floor to discuss tactics or was that just for Nuno? It is a great experience to do for any fan
08 Aug 2019 13:11:59
Agreed jas, there was never any need for a massive overhaul just better back up/ competition and we know nuno likes to bring players in 1 or 2 at a time so as not to disrupt what we have. Everyone keeps saying why haven't we signed an attacking midfielder but didn't we spend nearly 20m on 2 of them last week? And for all we know some of the younger signings may be on the bench as nuno will know about them and what he wants. Just because they're young and not household names doesn't mean they're not quality. After all fergie got Ronaldo at 17 didn't he? Let's just quit the negativity and look forward to another great season. Many fans forget how far we've come in a short space of time and remember fosun have a long term plans which we are ahead of schedule. COYW.
