We are after Gomes this summer. Rodrigo being his first name. Winger who plays left and right. Neto replacement?
1.) 04 Mar 2024 21:38:30
Is that rumour still going on? We were linked with him over the summer along with Raphael Veiga.
2.) 04 Mar 2024 22:37:36
Just been confirmed on express and star that we are eyeing up a summer swoop.
3.) 05 Mar 2024 06:35:41
A striker would be better?
4.) 05 Mar 2024 13:20:34
Both Hwang and Cunha's main position are Centre Forward but they are not being played in their favoured position for whatever reason. Likewise, Noah Lemina is an Attacking Midfielder who can also play on either wing.
Looks like GON is after players who can play multiple positions.

Ramsdale to wolves on loan in Jan with obligation to buy apparently.
1.) 26 Nov 2023 08:38:26
If this is true, then it suggests Sa is leaving
2.) 26 Nov 2023 08:52:52
No chance.
3.) 26 Nov 2023 09:02:55
Have any of you seen the recent video on YouTube (very popular US beer channel, sounds like Dudweiser) Ramsdale is being "interviewed" by Ian Wright and Ramsdale admits to "not being able to keep focused during a game, and will interact with fans" that comment wouldn't fill anyone with confidence.
Of course, this could be a certain corner of the media conflating two stories (if SA to Saudi is true, and Ramsdale being shipped out of Arsenal is true) and fabricating a story to generate clicks / interactions.
4.) 26 Nov 2023 09:28:28
Don't think we can afford his wages.
5.) 26 Nov 2023 17:33:59
Arsenal could pay some of his wages during the loan period, then potentially negotiate lower wages during contract talks (should any of this be true)
6.) 26 Nov 2023 19:12:02
An Albion fan in goal!
7.) 26 Nov 2023 19:22:48
It's a Daily Star story so that should tell you all you need to know.
8.) 26 Nov 2023 19:48:26
All highly unlikely but terrible fear is that it forms part of a wider deal involving Neto.
ps seen a note saying we value Neto at £60m, isn't that a bit low unless Ramsdale is included at zero as part of the deal - even then not sure?
Where would you value Neto Cf Havertz, Cuccerella (sp), Mudryk, etc etc etc!
9.) 27 Nov 2023 14:36:53
Future, I agree that if there's anything in the Ramsdale rumours, that might indicate a PX makeweight in the Neto deal. If it's Ramsdale in, Neto out, then it's Sa out to Saudi as well. We need to get at least £100mil for Neto and Sa and maybe get Ramsdale on a free transfer due to his wages.
10.) 27 Nov 2023 16:28:54
Wouldnt mind a Sa - Ramsdale swap - he is home grown and of course from a FFP persepctive it would be a fabulous swap at £40m (Note Ramsdale would have to cost less so that his wages are covered by the fee disparity)
As you suggest that means we would want £100m straight for Neto - just can't see how we replace him though even with that much cash?
ps enjoy the view tonight from the posh seats! I will be behind the goal in the cheap seats!
03 Oct 2023 14:54:03
West Ham after Semedo Aparently? Not sure January but he would turn 30 soon so be interesting to see what they would offer?
1.) 03 Oct 2023 18:50:18
Who do we have to replace Semedo if we use 4 in back? Doherty isn't really a replacement for Semedo since he plays differently. We are strong on left back, but right back seems more iffy, unless we stay with 3/5 in back.
2.) 04 Oct 2023 06:41:03
Well, no one wanted him this summer.would be surprised if a good manager like Moyes would be interested.
3.) 04 Oct 2023 19:33:36
It was slightly different in the summer cause we held off on triggering his extension until the last minute. So if teams were interested they would have been waiting to see if he was going to be availible on a free. Such a funny player, in some games (mostly the big teams) he looks like an absolute world beater! Then agaisnt Luton he looked like he was playing drunk! Under the current climate I think we need to keep him, Jonny is not the player he was so currently probs our best option ?
4.) 05 Oct 2023 08:11:02
BB -agree a player who baffles. So much skill and composure on the ball and pace. Plus a v good 1 on 1 defender. But prone to lapses of defensive conentration, weak in the air and gets a nose bleed when he gets near the opponents box and so is largely ineffectual offensively.
He is almost a mirror image of Doherty whose strengths are Semedo's weaknesses and vice versa.
But if someone is willing to pay serious money for him - Newcastle paid a huge sum to Southampton for Livremont (sp) who is merely cover for Trippier then - as RB is probably the least important position in the team and normally easy to replace - Chelsea sold Livremont and Lamptey for less than £10m combined - he is probably the player we should sell to cover this year's FFP problem.
Agreed neither Doherty or Otto are long term options or probably even short term options - Doherty could do it if we stick to 3 at the back - but as stated we should be able to find a replacement for somewhat lower wages and fee!
5.) 06 Oct 2023 10:57:59
Hi TFIG, we still have Lembekisa who started to look good and the Colombian lad on loan in America who is due back soon I think.
6.) 27 Oct 2023 01:22:25
You've got to love it, papers are carrying a story of 'Newc shock move for Neves' but WHERE I ask you is the shock?! Half of us keyboard warrior wannabe footy journos where calling that VERY 'shock move' when he left (myself included)! It was always a blatant way to sign him around FFP rules when it happened and if WE new that all the journos new that too! I hate it but you have to admire Newc, they are going to compete with City at their own game! Saddly for the rest of us in the footy world (and it's a damning indictment BTW) that 'game' is now the best cheat wins! Best league in the world, well as Jim Royale would say 'my @rse'! Biggest sports washing joke, I'm afraid that's what we've become! ?
7.) 27 Oct 2023 23:10:09
BB - under current rules I'm not sure that Newcastle/their owners will actually have done anything wrong?
Clearly the Newcastle owners could own a team in 2 other arenas, South America, Australia, USA etc etc. Each of the 2 teams could buy, for vast sums, one of the best players in the world and put them on mind blowingly high salaries. They could then lend the 2 world class players to Newcastle with Newcastle paying a fraction of their wages.
This would allow Newcastle to have 2 world class players in their team for minimal cost effectively emasculating FFP in the Prem.
Of course there may be issues for the other teams owned by Newcastle's owners. They would be paying for the superstars, (fees and wages) not playing for their team in South America, Australia etc but turning out instead for Newcastle. But that won't impact Newcastle?
8.) 01 Nov 2023 19:42:27
Oh I quite agree TFG (as usual:) according to the current system they are well within the rules from what I can tell. Although I do wonder if they will bring in some kind of limit on loans outside the EU (or some other device to make it harder). Also it still doesn't make it right though and as I say we do seem to have become a League where the mantra should be 'best team at exploiting the loop holes wins'. Classic example is the sheer disgrace of City very pubically calling for the FA to hurry up with their investigations whilst purposefully forgetting to mention that they have thrown every legal hurdle at the case fully in the knowledge that some of the charges become time barred.
Just abit sick of it all to be honest buddy, we sell our best players to play by the rules while others just flaunt them cause they are better/have the means to get round um. I've been saying it for years but I really am falling out of love with this not so beautiful game. World Cup 2034 'given' to Saudi, give me a break it just gets better and better!
Sorry for the whining but I'm just sick of the only teams trying to play fair being the ones who seem to be peeing up the proverbial rope! My whole life all I've heard peeps say 'well the bubble will burst' and I'm not sure it ever will. Everytime it comes close the powers that be just find a way to quietly pump it back up again, usually using some form of well washed blood money! ?
9.) 02 Nov 2023 19:56:45
BB - v v sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel but at the moment I am re-engaging with the game - primarily through watching live games all over the place but mainly at lower league grounds.
Real fans, real football - no money anywhere!
However I accept that what are you saying is v true and frankly is getting worse! At least in the 70s teams stood a chance and Ipswich, Derby, Norwich, Southampton, QPR etc etc all had moments in the sun.
Maybe that is why the debacle after the miracles of Nuno and Seville hurt so badly and I have been so bad tempered/intolerant on here these last couple of years!
Sorry!
10.) 02 Nov 2023 21:55:37
Ah don't be silly TFG old buddy, no need for apologies. We have had many a good debate on here but I'd honestly NEVER say you've been bad tempered or intolerable! In fact more often than not I'd say engaging and interesting ?
Pleased to hear your finding the love for the game again in the lower leagues and I think you may have a good shout there fella. I may try and catch the odd game myself now you've said it, cause like you say I'm abit done with the Prem. I'm on the old IPTV, cheaper and somehow less frustrating! Keep enjoying those lower league games buddy and keep on posting. Least we aren't having to moan about the club/performances as much these days, credit where its due GON long may it continue ??
11.) 08 Nov 2023 22:36:41
West ham after ait nouri as well apparently.they reckon 20 mill plus cresswell will get him.i say sod off
09 Sep 2023 13:07:01
Aparently Chelsea blocked our move for Dia as Boehlys group has a stake or something is Strasborg and didn’t want to let this huge talent come to us.
1.) 09 Sep 2023 13:50:05
Surely that sort of thing is not allowed?
2.) 09 Sep 2023 14:06:07
If true Chelsea might be having more trouble coming their way.
3.) 09 Sep 2023 15:19:35
Where did the information come from Vbwolf, just out of interest.
4.) 09 Sep 2023 18:19:23
And, I saw it on BBC gossip article
5.) 09 Sep 2023 19:05:27
It was for Habib Diarra not Dia
6.) 09 Sep 2023 20:00:30
I think I saw it on the BBC
7.) 11 Sep 2023 12:34:24
It was Habib Diarra at Strasbourg. The Chelsea owner's consortium own Strasbourg and they didn't want Diarra signing for Wolves. Not against the rules but showed we touched a nerve if offering to buy Diarra. I guess Diarra will be playing at Stamford Bridge soon.
8.) 12 Sep 2023 10:31:55
Would have been the same if Chelsea had been interested in a player at Grasshoppers (if only). We could have blocked it, as the Fosun owner's wife still owns Grasshoppers. What happens to all those 'ones for the future' that we ship out to Grasshoppers? Never seem to hear much.
01 Sep 2023 16:09:13
Podence off to Qatar
1.) 01 Sep 2023 16:27:51
Good luck to him I know he is like marmite you either love him or you hate him, he did score some cruicial goals that kept us up last season, wound up players too, but his diving and play acting really let him down.
2.) 01 Sep 2023 16:32:07
BELAGARDE coming in deal agreed.
3.) 01 Sep 2023 16:40:54
Sky reporting trying to get Bellegarde deal over the line.
4.) 01 Sep 2023 17:21:28
Podence to Qatari club off as they signed Coutinho instead. Could be going Saudi instead as Gerrard club are apparently after him.

04 Aug 2024 02:33:39
Game just finished. Wow we were brilliant tonight. We completely demolished RB Leipzig. Again I know it’s a friendly but at times some of our link up play and attacking play was unreal. Gomes is a gem and what a player. Always attacking and making run down the wing and putting in decent crosses. His goal capped off such a lovely flowing attacking move.
Larsen held it up well and was unlucky to hit the post but Sarabia who had a good game did well to grab his second of the night.
Thought we defended well, yerson for me was the pick out of the players at the back. He looked calm and composed. Toti lost it too many times and tried to be too cute at times instead of playing a simple pass and put us in trouble a few times.
RAN was superb and attacked and defended well. You could see how much he was loving things, especially when it felt that for 4-5 mins after the 83rd minute RBL hardly touched the ball due to how good we were.
When Semedo and Gomes and Neto and Sa came on we went up another gear. Neto was looking class, and Gomes just dominated. What a player he is.
If we can attack like this during this season then we are in for a surprise and hopefully something special. The team spirit and how everyone is playing for each other is wonderful. Fair play GON. Keep it up. COYW
1.) 04 Aug 2024 05:24:21
Thanks again vb.Great to get a fan's view of the game.
Well, say it quietly, but our pre-season preparations seems to be going pretty well!
We just need the certainty of 'ins and outs' over the next few weeks.
2.) 04 Aug 2024 06:17:23
Spot on report vb. After 3 hours kip I'll just quote Dave Edwards in the commentary box, 'we've got the chemistry and everyone knows their place' . If we carry this into the competitive game we'll be flying. Great to watch.
3.) 04 Aug 2024 15:59:51
A further thought on last night's game, I'd actually got to the point that I thought neto wouldn't be brought on, and was thinking he was definitely on his way out and that he was being safe guarded for that reason. I actually felt that if we were to get good money we wouldn't be too worse off without him. We were getting forward as a block and not reliant on one man, (pedro) to take us forward. Gomez and Belgarde and sarabia were working well with hwang and larsen, doc getting up wide and RAN posing a threat. RAN I thought would be a bigger loss should he go. Yerson, again, was another I thought would be missed should he leave as has been touted.
Another player to add is Heugo Beuno, I've always liked him and he showed his worth the other day, we'd rue him going. There's a lot of movements to come, but I feel we need to keep more players than just losing neto to effect things negatively.
I honestly think we can survive without pedro, in an ideal world he'd stay too, but we can't hold the lad back if a decent club and offer comes in, but there are others who could harm us more if they were to go. It's fingers crossed now that we have a quiet end to the window.
4.) 04 Aug 2024 17:29:17
Interesting Abbey but I think last season's run in results without a fit Neto told us who we'd miss most unless the new Gomes can plug the gap. Far too early to know about that. At the end of the day, pre season games are just the warm ups and the real situation will be revealed when the meat and drink of league points are at stake.
5.) 04 Aug 2024 20:34:14
Yea good points old wulf, it was in my mind in the game in which I thought we were excellent, on reflection it was only a friendly, the new lads will have it differently in the league. I hope we keep the pack together though.
01 Aug 2024 03:54:09
Just got back from the game. Good to see the lads and make the drive up to see them.
First half we played very well. Passing it quickly and making space and utilizing the wings and honestly should have scored 2-3 goals. Doyle was superb and really picking out the passes and driving us forward. Gomes and Lima are great additions and played well whipping some great balls into the box. We really played some lovely Intricate passes. Palace were basically so far off the pace and hardly troubled us so it’s typical wolves that we make an error and they score; Bentley needed to clear it better. Guedes worked hard and made some good runs and actually looked like he wanted to be apart of this team, but also tried to hard sometimes with the tricks and stepovers and gave it away to easily. Hugo was solid and for me had a great game and I think we should keep him and not loan him out. Cundle was brilliant too and really was an engine and looked calm on the ball.
Second half and it all fizzled out with all of the changes. Hwang seemed to be to light weight and was knocked easily off the ball. Chiq was electric at times down the wing but also did too much and tried to force it at times, but pressed and chased the ball down and overall played like he wants to be at wolves. Mario drove the ball well when he came on for his run out.
Larsen held it up well and set up Bueno really nicely for his goal.
I know it’s a friendly but at times we played some lovely stuff and everyone seemed to have a great team spirit. Just need to take those chances more often. COYW.
1.) 01 Aug 2024 06:06:21
Great Post vb! Thank you.
2.) 01 Aug 2024 06:38:03
Nice one vb.That's Hwang all over unfortunately. You'd imagine O'Neil is trying to work on it.
3.) 01 Aug 2024 07:55:51
Good post Vb, I watched it live and agree with everything. Bently comes out and plays his 'tackle'/'clearance' into midfield instead of out of arms reach and it 1 down. he was beaten too easily the other night as well. King, whilst I appreciate his personality around the squad etc, was too slow to put out a leg 2-0, (good finish from palace tho). King, positioning,?, 3-1. I know they're friendlies I know they're trial and error, but I don't feel confident should we need to play either of these two in the league.
Doyle was excellent and luke cundle again showed his worth. Heugo Beuno was consistent all evening and guedes showed genuine effort and skill in the team.
A disappointing outcome to what promised to be another convincing win but as said before it was a friendly trial and error, error beat us this time.
4.) 01 Aug 2024 08:27:20
Two very poor goalkeepers we have as back up.s.a.t.
5.) 01 Aug 2024 09:21:26
Arsenal meant to be interested in Bentley. From what I've read on these posts of the past few games, it seems a no-brainer to let him go and invest the money in another keeper.
6.) 01 Aug 2024 10:30:09
That's right. Invest the money we get in a decent back up keeper. The only problem us that Arsenal only want to pay us £50k for him. To put that into perspective, that's 1/7th of Bukayo Saka's WEEKLY wage.
7.) 01 Aug 2024 10:35:06
Bentley couldn’t hold down his place in a championship side. We are too reliant on Sa. If he gets injured we are in trouble .
8.) 01 Aug 2024 12:41:48
Totally agree with all the afore mentioned posts on Bentley and King who are 2nd Dvision standard at best.
Can’t believe Arsenal want Bentley!…let him go asap.
I endorse the fact that a decent back up keeper is deperatlry needed, if Sa were to be injured we would have a serious problem.
9.) 01 Aug 2024 12:51:45
….Ps Rui Patricio (36) available as a free agent, Uncle George/Gestitute his agent.
In a different league to Bentle but 5 years older.
10.) 01 Aug 2024 13:50:46
De Gea is a free agent but wants £300k per week.
But seriously, there are 2 decent experienced keepers available on a free - Lorus Karius and Wayne Hennessey. Personally, I wouldn't want Hennessey back after the way he engineered his way out of Molineux.
11.) 01 Aug 2024 15:03:16
If I was a goal keeper and a ‘big’ club ( I wanted to move to) came knocking but didn’t want to pay much I would probably play crap to keep the price down. Just saying
12.) 01 Aug 2024 16:34:16
Maybe that's what Fabio Silva is doing. Only problem is, no one seems to want him.
30 Jul 2024 15:09:35
So Gary wants another CB as stated on the express and star poddy. Def need an experienced player for sure as who knows how Dawson will fair this year.
With Cunha out for the rest of the America tour with a hamstring, is he a player that is going to suffer more this season?
I would want another CF and a Winger to go with a CB.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 19:48:19
Didn’t Nuno, Bruno and Julen all say pretty similar, maybe it’s an exit strategy.
2.) 30 Jul 2024 22:39:14
Or maybe it's just common sense! Hate to break it to you but no one needs an 'exit strategy' in the modern game! ?
Honestly one or two on here are just desperate for the wheels to come off! It's very transparent and very tedious! ?
3.) 31 Jul 2024 09:38:34
I thought Bruno's exit strategy was just, be a poor manager!
04 Jul 2024 15:20:37
Max on the way out for 40m. Good fee for me but wish him all the best.
1.) 04 Jul 2024 16:00:44
Great fee. I wish him well, but not against us obviously. Hopefully we'll see the money reinvested wisely and GON/Hobbs already have suitable targets.
2.) 04 Jul 2024 16:14:11
Congratulations and well done to Fosun on achieving £40m for captain Kilman.
Hope you invest the money wisely and good luck to Max and Lopetegui and Ruben and Nuno and Jota and Podence and Moutinho and Raul and Vitinha and Trincao and Guedes and (maybe not) Nunes and MGW and all of the others who believed in the project and have now left the club for one reason or another.
3.) 04 Jul 2024 16:50:56
I don't think Vitinha, Trincao or Guedes really cared whilst they were here. Well their performances suggested that they weren't interested.
4.) 04 Jul 2024 17:10:45
They have fire in their belly now though WS so why would they come to Wolves and not try?
5.) 04 Jul 2024 17:24:52
Vitinha was rubbish when he was with us. Trincao never got going and Guedes has come out and said that he never wanted to be here but Jorge Mendes convinced him to move.
6.) 04 Jul 2024 18:44:36
Convinced him of the project WS which was my original point.
Along with plenty more who left the club and the ten per cent of season ticket holders who didn’t renew this season due to rising costs selling established players and replacing them with ones for the future who will be sold on at the first opportunity of profit or loaned out to lower league clubs like Stoke Birmingham City or Plymouth if they prove not good enough for the PL.
7.) 04 Jul 2024 21:10:15
Are you a Wolves supporter E?
All season tickets sold. Biggest sponsorship deals ever. Great looking kit. We are an established premiership team. We have had some great players since Fosun/Nuno era and yes sold at a vast profit. Isn't that how business operates and grows? We've made a few bad signings, but how many did we make with Sir Jack!
All players have a price and all clubs will sell their best players if the money is right. Wolves are in a great position for a mid sized team, with no FFP concerns.
There's always another Jota, Neves, Raul etc out there, it's up to our scouting team to find them.
8.) 04 Jul 2024 22:05:03
To be fair, I think there are plenty of players currently at the club who can/will be sold for big profits.
AIT, Bueno, Neto, Joao Gomes and Tommy Doyle to name just a few.
9.) 04 Jul 2024 22:33:03
All season tickets allegedly sold Blackfords.
Still have 10, 000 on waiting list?
Mine is in the Steve Bull at £835 which is £44 per game and miles away from the pitch but prefer to sit here than in the uncovered Graham Hughes stand.
Does any other PL stadium have an uncovered seating area?
Don’t tell me about investment in the team as West Ham have just spent £40m on a centre half Bournemouth spent £100m last season and Ipswich have offered £30m for two Hull players so we are still going to be in a relegation scrap with our new £58 yellow Sudo tops.
10.) 05 Jul 2024 06:51:28
We've done similar. Cuhna £44, Semado £36, Nunes £40+, Silva £35, Guedes £27, Raul £30 to name just a few. Before I get slated I'm aware that some of these haven't worked out, but looks at those we've spent minimal money on and made huge profit. Kilman is just a great example of this.
Unfortunately unlike West Ham we haven't been GIVEN a new stadium. There's always clubs who are well run like Bournemouth and Brighton, but there are some in a much worse position than us.
11.) 05 Jul 2024 13:46:25
Ironically, our best players last season (with the exception of Cunha and Semedo) cost less than £20m each showing that you don't always have to pay over the odds to get good players.
12.) 05 Jul 2024 16:35:15
And we finished 14th in the table winning only one of the last ten games and that was against a relegated team.
As Jeff Shi stated ‘don’t expect consistent European football or trophies if you follow Wolves’
13.) 05 Jul 2024 17:16:16
Yep E, and before those games without injuries we were on the cusp of euro qualification. Who'd have predicted that at the start of the season? GON will now have his own team and plan a totally different approach to our intentions this year. Don't expect, no, but have the faith and fear nothing. COYW.
14.) 05 Jul 2024 17:43:23
How many of the squad that was pushing for Europe before injuries to all 3 main attacking options (apart from Cunha) cost big money. Even when Nuno guided us into Europe, we didn't spend lavishly. I think Jimenez was our only player over £25m.
15.) 05 Jul 2024 17:44:42
Here is your opportunity Yerson to prove yourself as a premier League quality central defender. Grab it . Surely this is not the time to press for a “comfortable “ return to Spain .
17 Jun 2024 16:29:52
Iheanacho On a free anyone? Much better than Adams.
08 Aug 2024 16:08:14
Although Larsen hasn’t scored in pre season he has set up three goals and looked good. Holds the ball up well and is strong and works hard.
25 Jul 2024 23:36:24
Not for me. 33 years old and would be on big wages.
12 Jul 2024 18:39:46
He is a class finisher. One of the best we have. He needs to stay unless it’s stupid money.
07 Jun 2024 00:38:16
Forest now faves to get him!
06 Jun 2024 19:52:27
Not sure why he would want to do that if true? Obviously it’s not as that would be a terrible move.
10 Aug 2024 22:59:53
I know it was the last time to impress but wonder how many wanted to make sure they didn’t get injured before the start of the season next week? Hope Mario is ok as he went straight down the tinnel holding his hammy.
10 Aug 2024 13:23:42
TFIG - I meant Rodrigo Gomes
09 Aug 2024 21:50:45
If Gomes continues his impressive form I have no doubt we have a player on our hands.
09 Aug 2024 18:57:01
Spurs wanted to give us Skipp plus cash for Neto. No thanks!
09 Aug 2024 16:20:30
Yeah gone. 51ish million plus additional add ons I think.
