Wolves rumours 3

13 Jan 2026 11:39:43
Would be sad to see Joao go, however from his side I would understand, if he is to leave, hopefully it will not be until the summer.
What are people’s thoughts, can we beat Newcastle?

13 Jan 2026 12:47:55
I think we can and we could get a run going the next 4 league games. One game at a time mind. But the aim must be to get within 9 points of Forest before the Forest game
I just want the club to bring two forwards (Pace!), a rwb and a cb.


I would sell Wolfe and Larsen.
I like the idea of McAtee coming in and freeing up space in the squad.

13 Jan 2026 12:48:07
Yes Newcastles away record is not that good Wolves play the way they have in the last 3-4 games could get a win.

13 Jan 2026 14:44:24
Agree DMac and Madman time is now for another 3 points and a good run. I am still not giving up hope just yet, would be good for a club to lose points for breaching rules about now. Think all we can do is try and win as many games as possible and see what happens.

Positive results and performances can only help and finish the season on a high for a change even if we are relegated.

13 Jan 2026 18:58:19
Madman, I agree with you on selling Larsen if we get the right money. This will allow us to buy a striker ready for an assault on the Championship next season as well as adding to the midfield once the inevitable Joao Gomes move happens. If not, we know we've got a decent player who knows how to score. Rob Edwards just needs to work out how to get tge best out if him.

I would keep Wolfe as he isn't on big wages, won't command a big fee and actually looks good going forward.

13 Jan 2026 01:25:03
J.Gomes has agreed terms with Napoli for a move in the Summer, no fee with Wolves agreed yet though.

13 Jan 2026 06:08:09
Well, it was to be expected. Good luck to the lad. I just hope the club use the money wisely.

12 Jan 2026 23:02:04
John arias to palmerias very advanced source isn’t the best though looking to get more confirmation also belive fluminese had first refusal but passed that up

12 Jan 2026 23:22:26
Just read that rumour. But then straight after, I read that he's agreed terms with Galatasaray and also agreed the return move to Fluminese.

All media hype.

11 Jan 2026 22:41:03
Besiktas have reportedly made a loan offer to Wolves for Emmanuel Agbadou.

The Turkish side are said to have offered €2M loan fee with an €10M buy option. Wolves want a higher offer. Agbadou has apparently approved the move to Turkey.

12 Jan 2026 10:39:59
Rated mate can't understand why Wolve
Sxw.ant to loan him out without obligation to buy. Plus should be asking for more money he cost Wolves 20mill euros with what there offering losing 8mill doesn't make sense.

12 Jan 2026 10:52:05
If he was the player he was last season rko I would be fuming but since Vitor got the boot he’s been absolutely gash, he’s going to be on a fair whack as well so let him go and get his wages off the books

12 Jan 2026 12:46:43
De Wolf I understand your point but Wolves have got very very few players who have shown his level of talent - basically 2 Andre and Gomes!
Consequently whilst I totally accept your point about his level of performance under Vitor I would perhaps suggest that he wasn't the only victim of that chaotic regime.
If he could be salvaged under the new regime the club would be selling one of its best players for pennies.


Surely it is a very low risk gamble - as I say it is pennies you are selling him for - with a very high potential reward?
If Wolves are to rebuild - either in the Prem after a great escape, (which the club desperately needs quality players to achieve) or in the Championship then it can't afford to sell its best players especially for pennies.

12 Jan 2026 13:48:36
I get where you are coming from gold but even the most optimistic of fans must accept we will be in the championship next season, to that end the players you mentioned ie Andre, Gomes and the like will be going anyway as there is no way they will want to play in the championship, and as a club we would not be able to finance the wages that a lot of them are on.

Personally if we can keep a core of young and hungry players and maybe pick up a few older heads we might bounce straight back up, but look at Leicester, Southampton who are the most comparable to us with the whole sell to buy, develop players to sell which if done correctly works a treat aka Bournemouth, Brighton but if done wrong it’s a disaster aka Leicester, Southampton, us
I think it’s only now Teflon Jeff has gone that fosun have realised just how bad the financial implications will be when and yes it’s when not if we go down

12 Jan 2026 15:26:21
De Wolf - Obviously you are correct re relegation and players leaving and you can only sell to people who will buy but the price does appear to be a distressed sale price.
Over the last few weeks he had started to recover and on his form of last year he is a top 6 quality player so selling him at a bottom 6 price is a financial disaster.
If he plays well, as he had been doing, for the next few months his value will be much higher in the summer.

Why then sell today at the very very bottom.
Plus the option means they have all the cards - if he gets injured or form actually drops off further - they can send him back but if he returns to top form they get him at the bargain bottom price and laugh at Wolves for yet another stupid transfer dealing!
I see no upside in loaning him out with such a modest option fee and lots and lots of downside!

12 Jan 2026 15:34:41
I was hoping someone came in for Toti Gomes. Agbadou looks a much better when he isn't trying to rectify Totis mistakes. Surely its no coincidence that our defence has looked better since Toti got injured.

12 Jan 2026 16:35:17
Agbadou is by far our best cental defender and the only one with pace. His problems lay in risky passes in dangerous areas and in the last few games before venturing off to Africa he seemed to have that resolved. No way would I sell for anything like the figures being muted.

12 Jan 2026 17:30:47
I can't believe we're even discussing an offer that low! Personally I think he's our best defender and should easily displace Mosquera or Doherty from the starting line up.
The principle of selling now whilst we can still get Premier prices only works if that's the price we're getting.

And although we're odds on for relegation whilst there's still an outside chance surely we should 'play to the whistle',
Every league place is worth £3mil approx, offloading our better players now just condemns us.

12 Jan 2026 18:57:17
Good - Toti is simply not a very good player as, despite reasonable physical attributes, his ability on the ball is far from the level required to play in the Prem.
However he was/is v cheap and will be adequate in the Championship,
Re the putative price for Emmanuel it is as if the club never learns - with the exception of the sales of Max Kilman and maybe Nunes - the club always seems to perform poorly in the market.
They have an unenviable record for massively under-pricing the players they sell, RAN, Cunha, Neto and Neves scream out.
However other departures such as Doherty, Semedo, Boly, Saiss, Coady, Lemina, Podence, Jimenez and Traore were terribly managed processes that meant Wolves ended up on the wrong side of the deals.


Wow reading that back you realise just how incompetent Jeff and his team was and it is clear why the club is in such a mess!
ps The club was no better on the buy side with too many bad signings to list
However to give you just one example of their inability to learn not only was Fabio the poster boy of bad deals but astonishingly Trincao, Guedes and Fer Lopez were almost paper patterns - young Iberians totally unready/suitable for adult football in England! but bought /loaned for huge fees on huge wages!

12 Jan 2026 21:23:51
That's harsh TFIOG some of the players listed did play well for us depending on the system they were played in.
Toti is a LCB or a LB. Yes he isn't the quickest player but I'd argue he is actually a useful option in a back three as he likes to drive forward and take his team mates with him.
Trincao is a difficult one I wouldn't put him with Guedes, Nunes and Cutrone.
He actually didn't look out of place technically but the physical and pace of the prem was a difference. I do think he would have been a good option for £25m though and he did play a role in creating opportunities for players to create assists. I'd argue we missed out on him. Its the same with Podence and Sarabia some fans loathe them but we miss those types of player this season. Although Arias and Hwang look like they want to fight which is encouraging.
The issue at Wolves has been under Nuno and now we have never replaced a cb with a fast CB (Man City have 5!?!). Surely it can't be hard to scout players for all positions with pace?
Mane is the perfect blend of pace and technical ability like Jota.
I make this point as we lost 3 forwards in the summer Sarabia, Silva and Cunha. Yes all different types of players but
we have had to drop to our U-17's for a player to make a difference in the Prem.
Which I find madness to be honest credit to Mane though.

The other departures sentence is wrong in my opinion Fosun kept those players as the club, manager and fans we all wanted them to stay after the success of the 2019-2020 season. That season was a success for Wolves we finished 7th for a second consecutive season and missed out on Europe because Arsenal (a poor Arsenal) won their only trophy under Arteta.
The whole point of a football contract is that both the player and club can play it to suit what they want. A 5 year deal is a third of most players careers. I think the injuries to Boly and Jimenez played a major part in those decisions. And to be fair Boly hasn't put a season together since he has left and we did give Raul 2 seasons to prove himself (and he didn't). Semedo and Traore both chose to leave so how do you manage that? Both were offered extraordinary contracts as well. I think Lemina was the fall guy but he wasn't doing himself or the club any favours.
As fans I think we all respected Coady, Doc and Saiss but Lage wanted to go to a back 4. I agree it was a disaster, but what if it had come off its easy to look at decisions and say in hindsight why didn't they do that?

By the way this is not me picking on TFIOG. I respect his opinion enormously. But when you read some posts its easy to forget the timing of some decisions over the past 5 years. Put all the major decisions and what was happening style wise in the prem during those years in a chronological order. Its scary the league has gone from 3/5 at the back to high press, target man to now playing it long and direct. Its easy to see how clubs falter. You can't chase the style or tactic you have to set it in the prem. Brighton have been very good at it maybe because they keep replacing young players with more young players. But keep very good experienced Prem players in the squad like Dunk and Welbeck.

It's all interesting I think a major factor we have lost quality players and not been able to attract them is because Nuno and JLO were very well known managers that players wanted to play under. Is that still the case with Gary O'neill and Rob (no offence I agree he is doing well in the circumstances)?
Would a Cunhaesque player want to play for Rob Edwards this is the transfer window to see it.
We needed two fast but technically good forwards in September we are now on day 12 of January and we aren't even close. We need a RWB for balance as Jackson isn't good enough attacking wise or defensively. Genuinely a RWB that can defend ugly and put 2-3 crosses in a game would be exciting at the minute.
I know some fans want to make wholesale changes to the squad I would say be careful what you wish for. This team isn't miles off putting a few results together they have lost most their games by a goal. ODCL

11 Jan 2026 12:38:17
With Rodrigo Gomes back, what are your thoughts of playing him over Tchatchoua in the Newcastle game?

11 Jan 2026 15:58:43
Even if he hadn’t played recently I’d have chosen Rodders. Tchachi doesn’t use his skills!

12 Jan 2026 21:25:19
I'd sign a rwb I like Gomes further forward tbh.
Jackson did look poor against Shrewsbury though.

11 Jan 2026 11:31:25
I’m. Hearing from brummie mates that villa player coming and we all know who it is from edwards luton days 😉

11 Jan 2026 12:55:42
Injured for at least another month or so mate so hope not.

11 Jan 2026 15:44:52
I doubt it he’s got an injury at the minute and it’s touch and go when he will be back

10 Jan 2026 17:25:16
Finally some news on signings. Wolves are leading the race to sign Hibs striker Kieron Bowie. Thoughts? This news comes after a wonderful hat-trick by JSL against the Shrews.

10 Jan 2026 17:45:23
Callum Wilson for me, proven Prem goal scorer, would score for fun in the Champiomship.

10 Jan 2026 18:30:45
I'd sign both both look useful.
Wilson didn't do too much last weekend tbf.
But still feel someone with abit of pace and technical ability would get us some points against any side before the end of the season.
Next 4 games are pivotal to me. As we could get 9 out of 12.


Will the club get the players to makesure we get the points.
I think 6 points would make the last 3 months of the season interesting as we have forest after the next 4 games so the points difference could be 6. As I can't see Forest winning any of the next 4.

11 Jan 2026 07:39:10
Really hope we get atleast 6 points in the next 4 games, but can't see it happening.

11 Jan 2026 10:11:23
Didn't say it would be easy pal.
Just the home games are there and we need to make Molineux a fortress.
City is the hardest game out of the 4 so I'd write that off.
But maybe with a few signings the team will continue with this new impetus.
They still need quality upfront x2 and a RWB.

Jackson was atrocious yesterday scared to take a league 2 full back on.
I'd get a cb aswell so we keep more clean sheets.
For me Wolfe and Jackson haven't done enough over the last 6 months. Neither can say they haven't had a chance.

09 Jan 2026 14:29:03
Rumoured that Chelski and Citeh are already sniffing round MM, what a surprise! Disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach.! FWAW.

09 Jan 2026 16:32:27
City just keep spending, no problem for them. Hope Mane stays, play a lot more for us than any of the top clubs.
Would imagine that there will be some changes to our team tomorrow.

09 Jan 2026 16:40:27
If Larsen is worth 50 million, what is Mane worth?

09 Jan 2026 17:18:48
Larsen isn’t worth 50 million lost, Newcastle were desperate in the summer so were willing to pay silly money, if someone offers 40 million for him I would snatch their hands off

09 Jan 2026 19:52:34
Yes the liars and cheats are circulating overhead. They can all spend what they want can't they?
The sooner all these clubs go and form their precious super league the better-and don't come back ever

09 Jan 2026 21:57:54
I agree qs, that’s what they all want anyway, it will happen one day and then they can all argue amongst themselves

09 Jan 2026 13:36:06
Everybody is keeping tabs on Mane the top 6 plus AV and Newcastle as well as clubs abroad. Me I hope RE pursuades him to give one season in the championship to see if Wolves can come straight back up. Then take it from there to see if he will stay you just never know with Wolve back in the PL.

09 Jan 2026 05:53:50
Any word on any signings yet?

09 Jan 2026 08:46:42
One word, NONE
