I was reading (when Wolves were apparently “interested in signing” Eldor Shomurodov) that Roma have to sell to buy.
08 Aug 2022 07:24:03
Hopefully MGM goes for a daft price and then I think we can conclude the Nunes deal, if it really is a firm possibility.
Desperately need a quality striker, if not 2!
However Coady going does not sit well with me.
There is re-building and there is re-building.

That’s correct Roma are moving him on to Bologna and then that will free up the space they don’t need to sell but they have to keep there wage budget low as they don’t have the same ability for wage bills as the prem etc mgm to me makes sence a player refusing to talk about a contract if you can get upwards of £30 mill and re invest it makes business sence still a shame tho he had a lot of potential and coady I think is a special case as his been a great servant for the club and really pushed for the move

Looks a little more positive on the transfers coming in front - let’s hope it’s not just rumours.
Conor Cody - has Shi and Sellars lost the plot! Everton season loan with option to buy, what planet are they on. Surely an outright purchase of £15-20m Everton are desperate - any truth of WHU interest?
08 Aug 2022 09:34:27
I my self don't want coady to go, I was disappointed when he didn't play against Leeds and his been at the the club for a long time.
08 Aug 2022 09:47:00
Thought wolves would of learnt there lesson with loan to buy Coady transfer to Everton,if that rumour is true.
The Traore loan to Barcelona was bad enough,if Coady wants to go which is understandable,then it should be cash up front only.
08 Aug 2022 17:19:18
If I was Wolves coach the first 2 games on the team sheet would be Neves and Coady. If they want a back 4 they could do far worse than a line up of Coady, Collins, Kilman and Jonny. If it's a 3 at the back then Coady, Collins and Kilman. There is no better captain in the premier than Coady, his presence in the team is priceless. He is a future top manager. They could also do far worse than play him in midfield, wou?d be an improvement on Dendonker.
08 Aug 2022 17:44:49
So signing guides to sell Pedro netto. if true.a joke. seems all nunos signings are going so don't be surprised to see neves go to man utd in the next 2 weeks. the team can't play as lage wants the defence to play, so when we start getting some good beatings, no coady no leadership in the back line.
08 Aug 2022 18:59:36
Can't help but agree with you demon,this probably my last post because it's become just to painful having any emotional feeling for Wolves. not because of not winning or playing poorly but having the heart and soul ripped out of the team for what? A system?
Lots of fans will disagree with me I'm sure but I have to get this off my chest.
1. Collins must be one hell of a player if you have to sacrifice the Captain for him.
2. This new system must be one hell of a system if you have to sacrifice your Captain for it.
3, this act of self harm ranks equal to the day Steve Bull had to retire and the relegation from the Premier League after Steve Morgan's overreaction to the defeat to Albion.
Conor Coady was stabbed in the back by Bruno Lage.
I feel it can only get worse and end in tears.
Very upset for the last.
All the best.
08 Aug 2022 19:21:41
Agree totally the only way forward now is a new manager. Results have been dreadful since February, most other clubs would have pulled the plug by now. I suspect the only reason he is still here is because the board can do what they like and he isn’t in a position to complain as no other club would have him
08 Aug 2022 21:29:40
Bruno must have no intention of going back to a back three,or he would have kept coady,but to get rid,when he knows he needs to play in order to get into England team for world cup. Is an insult to Connor,after all he has done for the club,just goes to show. Not matter if you give your all to a cause,your still treated like ****,
Lage may well be on limited time,
If that's the way he treats our captain,who now would accept the job,fosun get rid
08 Aug 2022 23:28:11
Some of you wolves fans are completely dumb and obviousky have no clue about football. Was Coady a great captain hell yh he was but was he a good defender no he was not he was bang average amd made lots of mistakes but his leadership made up for that. If you watched the game on Saturday you would of seen Collins was a huge upgrade on Coady he won every header and was solid but stupid errors by Ait Nouri cost us the game. Also Ciady was not forced out he chose to leave even though Lage wanted him to stay so they accepted his proposal out of respect for him as he would of been a bench warmer so shut up and stop crying we have to rebuild its just going to take time.
09 Aug 2022 01:42:16
Yeah I agree with Wolfman32, he was average but amazing leadership. Collins and kilman look like they will work and playing 4 at the back which Coady can't do gives us that extra man in midfield which with the right attacking players going forward will mean more goals which we need following from last years effort. We still need reinforcements to come in but guedes signing is very positive for us and signing him will keep neves at the club for certain.
Neto has to stay tho, he's offers similar to traore both very unpredictable and that offers confusion for the opposition as they won't know what to expect.
Take sterling you know exactly what he will do, hugs the touchline then cuts in on his right foot, so predictable and it's the unpredictability that can be the difference between a win or lose.
09 Aug 2022 08:23:53
Well, now we now be able to judge Lage properly.
My theory is Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International was over in Portugal to tell Shi his job is on the line. Seems no coincidence changes now seen to be happening with the squad after 2 years of inertia.
So the squad is being shaped to a system favoured by Lage. He has made a strong statement letting Coady go and I just hope his vision works for the team and us!
09 Aug 2022 09:56:58
Going to a back four was the beginning of the end for Nuno, we'll see how it goes now. Yeah it works for the like of Liverpool and City but it's possible they've got better defenders. It's not just about the central two either- take Ait Nouri for example, a typical modern attacking full back, good at going forward but not so much defending. With a back three (five) he's usually going to have insurance behind him- with this system he's exposed. And the benefit of a back four is an extra man in midfield, which is ironic as we are struggling to fill the positions as it is - let's face it, the likes of Ronan would be away (on loan again) if we had options. Another injury and he could be playing.
After losing Saiss, the priority was to be a CB in but with Collins in and Coady out we're back to square one. We're told that Coady goes because of going to a back four, yet he's played that position for England. And we lose a leader and mentor- a guy without whom Kilman's development wouldn't have happened, constantly talking to him through a game. I think we'll live to regret this one.
09 Aug 2022 15:02:15
I thibk you'll live to regret not trusting in the process @rugeleywolf2. Yeah Coady did play in a back 4 and was awful its just he had quality players in front if him to protect him the 3 at the back was killing us going forward. Yes his leadership will be missed and I also believe Moutinho should of been given the armband if his playing just because of the experience alone and he shows up the youngsters running round like a madman at his age. I love Neves but I just don't think he has the mouth to shout at players.
09 Aug 2022 22:04:12
A lot of refreshing comments above I agree with.
Coady, I loved him, leadership, ambassador for the club commitment, could not fault the lad, nothing but respect.
Footballing wise same as above marshalled the team, but individual ability, for me too slow, when required to play a high line could not cope, good in a sweeper role.
We are not back to square one with the loss of coads footballing ability, Collins is an upgrade with no disrespect to Coads.
The ever posters slating Fosuns commitment despite an initial spend of 20M plus, as I said before a bit early, a bit rich going on previous owners.
We want all signings done in the first week to allow pre-season bedding in, shame the real world is not like your fantasies.
Hwang, Collins, Guedes all look like top signings, some may have issues with Hwang, but good business, and the potential of more.
Large has a history using a back 4, whilst i'm still not sold on Large this is perhaps the first season we see him able to exert his preferred style of play, I for one am happy to back that, knowing it is going to be a bumpy ride early days.
I have been Wolves since 1970 as a nipper, desperate for the glory days my dad always talks of in the 50's, under Fosun I can see a return, not as quick as we all would like, but its steady progress building the brand, sadly we missed the hay days where if the owner had the money he could buy a team, AKA Chelsea/Man City/Spurs/Liverpool/Arsenal. nope they closed ranks, now you have to build a fan base, a commercial enterprise a Brand, get the income before you can spend.
WOLVES onwards and upwards one step at a time.
