2 incomings
Jordan James from Leicester 16m + add ons
Solly March (free agent) RW, LW or WingBack
2 great bits of business if rumours are true March has had his injury woes but still the right age to get us up and play a huge part in future if look after him

Where have you got this from?
20 Jul 2026 17:13:23
I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but Wolves are not going to spend 16mill with add ons, no chance.

Solly March has played just 19 times in the last three seasons, with last season being by far his worst, with just 4 games! When you say 'look after him,' I can only assume you mean some kind of Voodoo treatment, as the guy looks entirely spent?!. ?

Jordan James is at Rennes, not Leicester.
Adam Webster has been discussed but, at the moment, wants too much £. We aren't willing to pay due to still having 4 recognised centre backs, and also due to his injury record. Not dead in the water though.
Solly March is not on the radar. ?
We've had another bid rejected for Lankshear. Spurs are wanting £20m; we want a straight buy but not for that price (currently). Loan with an option is also being looked at, but will cost more. Bid rejected at around £13m.

According to the local Brighton papers, BB allegedly March is now fully fit and training for next season, with a number of Prem teams interested in him?
He did play in Brighton's last game at the end of last season.
(Webster similarly now fit and Mings and Pope would also be good cheap pick ups!)
Similarly, a number of Prem teams and better placed Championship sides, West Ham amongst them, are allegedly interested in James.
Consequently, neither would be easy to complete, and I hear Dmac re-fees.
However, all of the noise coming out of the club about replacing Gomes with quality might indicate that they are willing to spend a chunk of the fee on his replacement - surely they have to?
Trying to be positive as pre season is now well under way and competitive fixtures are less than a month away, yet there (should be) is so much still to do.
PS, love all the Lopez enthusiasm. He might have done well in Spain again this year, but will he have grown a spine and gained a heart?
Trincao was an even better player but just couldn't play in England, so it is hard to see how Lopez, (who just couldn't/wouldn't cope with the pace and power of the league last season), will be able to cope one year later, let alone in the more physical Championship.
Strongly suspect he will be gone back to Iberia by the end of the window.

I'm with Tfiog, I don't trust much of our current squad to get us up.
I'd keep Sa, but if not, Victor Johansson from Stoke.
x3 cbs required: Alleyne, Arrey-Mbi, Webster would be sensible.
x2 cm: not sure what Cesar is aiming for there.
x3 wingers: Andre Luiz, Pablo, Eboue or Derry on loan from Chelsea.
These are the players I would keep.
Sa (understand he will probably go, but still a decent keeper).
Mane
Armstrong (experience, and the fact he will probably score 10 plus goals).
Lima
H Bueno
R Gomes
Andre
Trippier
Raul
Traore (I know, but his physicality could be useful).
Bentley
Abby
Edozie
The rest can go for me, genuinely want a new defence and some pace up front after the dross we watched last season.

Haha, isn't it funny, TSG buddy, how these absolutely crocked players are always 'fully fit' as soon as they are without a club or contract!
Personally, I wouldn't touch a player that hasn't been able to complete a double digit of games for the last three seasons with a flipping barge pole!
With Lopez, I would give him a chance (till Jan), and see what he looks like in the Champ. Plenty of players who struggle in the Prem then shine in the Champ. Last thing I want us to do is another MGW where we sell for cheap and end up looking very silly just 12 months later. ?

Well, looking like Lankshear is off to Boro for the reported £20m... We've missed a trick there.
The current squad:
Sa
Johnstone
Bentley
Lima
Tchatchoua
Hoever
Trippier
Bueno
Wolfe
Toti
Bueno
Mosquera
Krejci
Djiga
Lonwijk
Bellegarde
Andre
Traore
Munetsi
Doyle
Edozie
Mane
Hwang
Lopez
Gomes
Said
Arokodare
Armstrong
Kalajdzic
Raul
A team full of dross and only Joao and Doc have left.
