Wolves Transfer Banter

11 Jul 2026 08:38:15
I firmly believe that potential incoming players always consider the status and credibility of the Manager (Peixoto) before committing themselves to a transfer. Then add to this the track record of the Owners (Fosun).
When taking this into consideration Wolves are hardly an awe inspiring proposition.
Sad but in my opinion, true.

11 Jul 2026 10:07:24
You're actually chatting sense, but also garbage at the same time.
Peixoto is the new club coach, he's not the manager, he has a say in players coming in, but he has no more than 50% in the choice; that's what the scouts and recruitment team do.
As for Fosun owning Wolverhampton Wanderers, get used to it; it's not going to change anytime soon.

Please read again, sME... "In my opinion"... "incoming players perceptiveness"... Coach/Manager, same thing in the eyes of incoming players.
Your comment on Fosun I consider to be garbage, as it merely reinforces my opinion.

You make perfect sense to me, Oxley. Wolves' reputation has gone downhill since Nuno left. Any credibility we could have gained was gone with Lopetegui going. Whose fault was that? Fosuns.

Good job, potential signings probably don't read these forums, as why would they come when they've been written off before even kicking a ball?
Newsflash, we are not in the Premier League now so we are not going to attract top players.

11 Jul 2026 09:03:25
We did attract top players last time we were in the Championship, and easily won the league.
Why can we not attract top players now?

As Dmac123 commented earlier, WSD, if Fosun have not changed their self-sufficiency policy, we probably can't afford that class of player any more. That policy was not in place first time around, but if we do gain promotion it will likely be 'rinse and repeat,' as that approach has been the author of our demise, which many of us and football commentators predicted. I was prepared 'to give Fosun a chance' after the removal of Jeff Shi, but is it just going to be the same play but with different actors?

We hear new signings have 'bought into the project,' but what is that? It was the 10 years to greatness project that then became 20 years. Now it's the get promoted project, but what's after that, the bum around the bottom of the Premier League dodging relegation project?

It's also been mentioned that ground upgrades are back on the agenda, but again, if the costs are going to be dumped on the club then that will turn the financial screw even tighter.

Just a thought, would it be better to vacate the Molineux and offset the cost of a new stadium by selling the more valuable city centre site, a bit like what Shrewsbury Town did? I know that's not a popular approach, but is that restrictive site also constricting progress?

Like so many, I hope to be proven wrong, but whichever Shi we've got in charge, whichever players we buy, will it be 'groundhog day' on a continuous loop for this one reason? If so, we might as well forget a return to the glory days that were achieved before Fosun realised the true costs of maintaining that progress.

Before I get jumped on, it's not being negative to want the very best for your club, but I am frustrated that this approach is likely to continue. I once asked if Leopards change their spots, apparently they don't?

11 Jul 2026 10:08:18
When we won the Championship last time around, Fosun were still relatively unknown and their ambition seemed inspired. This time, any potential signing will have taken note of the last 5 years.



But, the likes of Raul and Trippier would not have signed if we were a club looking to stand still or move backwards, so hopefully the removal of Shi has freed the club from his shackles.

Rafiki Said coming in is only going to go one of two ways. He's either going to be brilliant or bloody dreadful. Twenty-six years old, not a huge amount of games under his belt, and no experience of English football. Strikes me as a player a mid-table Championship club would sign. Underwhelming ain't the word.

10 Jul 2026 21:36:55
30+ games in each of the last 4 seasons. 8 goals, 4 assists in 25/26. 8 matches, 3 goals in World Cup qualifiers.

10 Jul 2026 21:02:27
Unfortunately we are shopping in Lidl not Harrods, good times are well and truly over, has this guy really been scouted or is he just someone we can afford and someone who is willing to sign for us??

10 Jul 2026 22:21:14
Will some of you ever be happy? No signings, the club are being the usual, leaving it late, making a signing, he's not up to scratch. Give the guy a chance and stop moaning.

Interesting, but unless I am looking in the wrong places, or the heat has got to me, the notorious "Molineux News" has disappeared. These are the company who claimed "our journalists are all 'wolves experts', and also, Man U, Man C, West Ham etc etc. Odd that!!

10 Jul 2026 18:43:40
Molineux News is part of GRV Media Limited, and is in excellent financial shape according to filings at Companies House.

11 Jul 2026 08:37:41
Don't know anything about Molineux News, but just typed in 'Molineux News' and, lo and behold, the site loaded.

11 Jul 2026 08:43:57
P.S. According to them, we still own Emmanuel Agbadou.

10 Jul 2026 16:04:20
So Wolves are signing Rafiki a winger from Belguim. He's supposed to be inconsistant according to reports. Wolves last guy they bought from Belguim was Tulo a complete disaster for 24mill. Hope this guy is a whole lot better. Still need a boat load of players out.

And if possible Fuson spen some money and improve the team to get straight back up. But reports I have read Fuson are not changing there sustainability policy. If that doesn't change what's the bother of getting promoted to go back down.

Thefuturesildgild3: Give Fosun a chance ?????? Ten years and counting. Have you ever seen a balloon that’s been popped re-inflated?

10 Jul 2026 16:11:23
Ron, I was merely pointing out that this is a common comment.
It was in relation to the highly underwhelming signing the club has made. I know that if you criticise a new signing (or indeed a manager or Fosun), then someone will jump on you saying that you haven't given them a chance.


Surely, if you have ever read any of my posts you would realise that I am far from convinced that Fosun has had Wolves' football team as a primary concern over the past few years.
PS, I am pretty sure it was you who brilliantly said, "If Fosun had wanted a Premier League team they would still have one".

11 Jul 2026 13:31:20
So common, in fact, that I have read it twice already today with respect to the new guy.
Plus, we have also had the usual posters complaining that posters are complaining about Fosun.


I really admire their loyalty to Fosun, but just don't get it?
Shouldn't posters on this site support Wolves?
I guess some people would have been delighted to have plenty of ice available when the berg sunk the "Titanic"!

Weren't we interested in Rocco Vata in the Jan transfer window? Has the interest cooled down or something? He is an amazing talent, amazing dribbling.

10 Jul 2026 09:47:49
Maybe he's waiting for all the other players your source says are on the verge of signing: Alex Calatrava, Filip Jorgensen, Polster, Zetterstrom and Lepenant.

Funny that your source hasn't mentioned Rafiki Said.

Isn't that the guy from Lion King? I've heard he swings like a mandrill? 🤣👍
