I think and hope Goodwhileitlasted has it correct, past managers have made our situation and playing style worse than the players actually are.
Be interesting to see if our new manager can improve performances and results.


Still time to sign a few more I think our season starts a little later than normal, it looks as though we may start season with some players still with us that may be gone at end of transfer window.

If the World Cup is a sign of how our beloved game is going, I don’t think I want to know. Half hour break for half time, all the razzmatazz, a singing frog and pig, Justin Bieber, two all-time greats driving a pensioner into “sing”, and the hydration breaks, which basically is what the USA wanted- four quarters.

Stop the bus, I want to get off. 😞😞

The only good part was Ted Lasso, then it just went downhill. No disrespect.

Well said, halftime. Also, the weird announcers. All too much. The football is slightly secondary, and how players are meant to stop tightening up with a 25 minute halftime is a real challenge. It's all about squeezing in adverts on US television. Money is the driver for FIFA... not the game. I suspect for that reason the USA will get the competition more than most.

Don't get me started on Robbie Williams and the Tom Cruise speech.

HalfTimePie, It's not a genuine World Cup when we know all the players, as we see them all the time playing in all the Euro competitions, and all the top countries have Premier League players. It's probably why England fail; they're always playing against their team mates, a bit like the old Home Internationals, which actually threw up better games, were more interesting, and we sometimes actually won the thing.

Argentina should be banned from international football once and for all, bullies and cowards!

Goes back to 1966 with the argies. The most disrespectful & arrogant team ever. It is a country that despises every other country in the world & football has no place for that.

You beat me to it, Preston. Why the football world seems to revere them is a mystery to me. Massive congratulations to Spain, even though they hadn't got their goal-scoring boots on.
As Lexluna suggests, from 1966, when their captain Ratin (spelling?) got a red against England, the first ever in a World Cup finals, through the handball goal that was allowed to stand, to this year's competition.

Every challenge is accompanied with a blatant push in the back, which the referees allowed.
The pleasing thing is that FIFA's master plan failed, and the good guys won. Also, massive congratulations to England. Denied their place in the final by some ridiculous tactics and substitutions, they did a job on France, which was satisfying.

Actually, they're also trying to drag Rugby down to their level as well with their disgusting behaviour after their defeat by England. Let's hope they get an appropriate punishment.

The disrespect of Jose Sa is poor, just one in a long list of excellent Wolves goalies, he deserves better, some people baffle me! Vipotnik 15m? Bargain!!! FWAW.

He doesn't want to be at Wolves. He can't play out from the back. He's too erratic. But, on his day, a superb shot stopper.

Hardly any keepers can play out from the back (including Donnaruma); besides, Wolves don't play good enough football for that to be a problem. Him wanting to leave is a different matter, and entirely fair point. Overall, though, I agree with Preston. I'm not sure what fans expect, considering most teams in the Prem league don't have a better keeper than Sa.

If he stayed, he'd be comfortably one of the best keepers in the league! He wants to go, because he knows he's better than the level we are now at, and on that front he ain't wrong.

19 Jul 2026 21:50:35
Fully agree, Bully. A top-rate shot stopper who has saved us on more occasions than I can remember. Top class. Just watching a keeper in the WC final who many thought wasn't good enough for Wolves!

20 Jul 2026 02:59:51
Sadly, he doesn't want to be here, but he was the only one who had the guts to talk to fans a few months back, though.

11


20 Jul 2026 12:12:15
If Sa had been that good we'd still be in the Prem.

20 Jul 2026 13:03:23
You surely can't put relegated down to Sa? In my opinion it was the flawed appointment of Edwards.

20 Jul 2026 15:43:11
Haha, what a bizarre take on things, BoS. So, in which case Alisson Becker is useless as Brazil got knocked out of the World Cup early?! Mind you, our biggest problem this season was scoring goals, and Sa didn't score any, so you may have a point there! 🤣👍

Anybody know when away top is going to be released. I've heard it's white if that's true or not?

I agree with a few others, a new GK must be a priority, needed one for a few seasons as, in my opinion, Sa, Johnstone and Bentley not good enough for No. 1.
Toti also not a first choice CB for me.
I did think Shi 2 was going to be an improvement, just hope they are waiting for players being sold and money in before signing more.
Do well to sell some of them though on the evidence of last season.


Lots of gaps still to fill for me before the new season. New GK, Wolfe or Bueno, Santi, New CB (Krejci if he stays maybe) Trippier, Andre, New CM, R. Gomes, Mane or Lopez, New fella can’t remember his name and Raul.
To be honest, not 100% sure on Santi or Krejci, after last season confidence in defence has gone.
Think we just have to hope that our new gaffer can work miracles. 🤞👍

If I'm being totally honest now, I think the major issue was the tactics used by both VP and Edwards. On paper we have some decent attacking players such as Hwang, Mane, Armstrong, Tolu, Bellegarde, Rodrigo and Fer Lopez. Both previous managers played too defensive, so the attacking players never really got a chance to show what they were capable of. The defenders we had just weren't good enough, and so I think that Peixoto will use the pre-season to see which of the players he has at his disposal are capable of playing in a more attacking manner, and the rest will be moved on.



I think defence is the area that needs major surgery, as Doc has gone and Toti is not good enough. Yes, he tries hard, but sometimes you need ability above desire. Although we are all frustrated with the relatively slow transfer activity, I believe that Peixoto has identified the players he wants, and the deals will happen over the next 2 weeks. If they don't, then I will be the 1st one to lambast the owners for yet more failed promises.

Talk about going backwards, we're over £100m off the pace now.

Is there any context to this?

19 Jul 2026 17:43:24
It was meant to read: let the people in charge sort it out, and not give yourself a heart attack over it.

19 Jul 2026 14:54:46
Desperately need a GK, how come Peixoto has not mentioned this absolute fact?

0


19 Jul 2026 15:27:47
Surely a new GK is coming in? Sa is leaving, that's a certainty.

I have a nasty feeling Johnstone is going to be No.1 with Bentley as No.2. Johnstone is good on his day, but that's too infrequent. He's also constantly 'injured'. Bentley simply isn't good enough.

Does anybody expect Wolves to buy any more players or will that be it. A winger for 7.7 mill and 2 free transfers, both 35, not looking too good at the moment. Surely they have to buy at least 1 midfielder, preferably 2. Doyle Munetsi and Traore are just not good enough even for the Championship.

2


19 Jul 2026 13:18:03
Peixoto says he wants to get someone in to replace Joao Gomes, and also another winger.
Looks like Peixoto will be looking for a new job before the new season starts in August.

Wandering, it would not surprise me one little bit if it happened. He wouldn't be the first.

Doom and gloom starting already, let's not get too despondent yet.

19 Jul 2026 13:49:34
Wolves will surely bring in a GK, LCB and CM. Surely?

Munetsi and B Traore can cover Andre, but I don't think Munetsi or Doyle are good enough to complement Andre. Munetsi certainly isn't. He's more of a headless chicken who'll unsettle the opposition in their final third. There's sod all finesse to his game.

Bellegarde is better playing centrally, but obviously Peixoto doesn't fancy him in a midfield two with Andre. It wouldn't work. No way.

Wolves need a central midfielder who is a Rolls-Royce Neves type. Someone who can read/control the game and ping incredible passes about. Tommy Doyle is that type, but he lacks a bit of quality. Hayden Hackney would have been nice!

Wolves can't realistically go through a 50+ game season relying on Toti Gomes at LCB with Mosquera to cover him.

That would be foolish.

If Peixoto favours three forwards behind one striker, then Wolves probably don't need to sign another striker. Raul, Armstrong, Hwang and Chiwome must be enough.

The forwards currently are Rodrigo Gomes, Fer Lopez, Mateus Mane, Rafiki Said and Hee-chan Hwang. I can't remember how effective Mane is on the left or right of the forward positions, but he's not a winger. I'm assuming Peixoto wants one winger who can battle with Gomes and Said for a starting position.

By the looks of things, Peixoto's going to be playing at least two systems.

Maybe they can be like the Labour government and spend some out of that supposed £200 mill black hole?

19 Jul 2026 14:36:00
As far as ive read, Hwang wants out, so say all of us, but who to dont know. Get rid of Toti, but wont sell because nobody wants him, and hes captain says it all. Keep Krjici and Santi, good central pairing. Sell Mosquera, a walking disaster. To me, still need another striker. Jiminez cant play 46 games, so if Armstrong is injured, who plays.

1


19 Jul 2026 15:32:48
Toti is good enough for the Championship. He's a solid professional with a good attitude. He plays LCB, which is a hard position to fill. He's not a Premier League player, but Wolves ain't a PL club.

Krejci is a better player, but Toti is a better person to have around the club.

1


19 Jul 2026 15:50:26
Who says so, or do you know them personally? Toti makes so many mistakes, simple as. And you tell me why hes captain, he couldnt captain a piss up in a brewery. Hes another Mosquera, a walking disaster, just not good enough.

2


20 Jul 2026 00:38:09
Totally 100% agree. Toti should be nowhere near the squad!

2


19 Jul 2026 11:41:17
Morita is a free agent, and he is the exact profile we need. Will give us at least 2 good seasons, and hopefully by that time we will be in the Premier League. Also, would help us to save some money and get a better goalkeeper. It will be an amazing signing if Wolves actually do it, but looks like Ipswich will sign him.

19 Jul 2026 12:22:38
Pat Morita from Karate Kid?

3


19 Jul 2026 13:32:24
It won't be Pat Morita. He's still at the beach mourning the death of his father.

19 Jul 2026 17:14:03
Toti simply cannot mark a player. He drifts about out of position & then has to foul.
