05 Aug 2017 08:51:05
Know what you mean wanderer been up since 6 like a kid on Christmas morning utw.



04 Aug 2017 21:31:17
watching sunderland on tv, didier ndong looks like he could do a job as that no nonsense cdm alongside neves any thoughts?



04 Aug 2017 18:39:12
Andre grey twice the player that afobe is and he is proven in the prem playing for a poor team. If afobe ever came back I'd boo him every time he touched the ball. I don't care about broken promises to him by m+m I just remember watching him for 5 months doing jack chit apart from moan like a big baby.



04 Aug 2017 19:40:41
You should read the respective clubs forums then. Bournemouth seem to think Afobe has potential and hasn't settled, but can do a job. While Burnley reckon if you took Grays assists and goals out of last season, they'd have still stayed up, they think they need better for the Prem, they're apparently only keen to keep him on basis he's a top Championship rather than Prem player, so if they get relegated he'll get them re-promoted. Plus, Afobe is 2yrs younger, with more time to develop.

And Afobe was still scoring goals when he was sulking, in a by then poor team. Didn't he still end up top goalscorer for the season despite only being here till Christmas? We'd have been relegated without those goals from when he was sulking. He was on for 20+ for the season, again.

And it's not an end of the World issue for me, I didn't post anything when they gave up on Afobe for over £10m, only when they apparently offered £20m for Gray.



04 Aug 2017 20:57:50
Afobe won't be coming back. Get over it please.



04 Aug 2017 22:33:25
This is like arguing with someones father. They're determined to be right and have the last say. I never said he was coming back, just that he should if it was possible (& £20m for Gray as an alternative suggested it was), because he'd add integrity and value to our identity and brand in ways others wouldn't. That's reasonable.

:-)



04 Aug 2017 23:23:23
Afobe has potential. Lmao. So did I. When I was 16 lmao.



05 Aug 2017 01:19:32
Afobe scored twice in their pre-season friendly with Yeovil. And once and set up the other against Bristol. He's (obviously) still saying he wants to stay and fight for his place.

He's obviously got potential, GL to him, if any other Chump club sign him I'm going to be very unhappy. He's effectively English, quality Arsenal academy, already connected to us and part of a bad story we could put right, we know he would do it for us, he's young enough to become us and part of a legendary rebirth.



05 Aug 2017 08:23:15
Ulf, I think Afobe would do a good job for us, but your posts are becoming very boring and repetitive. Move on.



05 Aug 2017 10:07:39
There isn't anything to move onto, another striker is the final player we'll be signing apparently, it's the player we've needed most since we lost Afobe as he was never effectively replaced, Mason didn't cut it, and as the striker is the talisman of the team, who it is will significantly affect our team and identity now, and if the season is successful and earns promotion, the clubs heritage and identity as part of its legend. And I don't trust Thelwell to get it right, because like Moxey, I think he's completely blind to the nature of the clubs identity and brand potential, and to how important those things are.



05 Aug 2017 17:37:25
Yeovil, exactly!



05 Aug 2017 17:41:58
I can't see any of these strikers you talk about adding to our 'brand' in the way that Derek Dougan, John Richards, Andy Gray or John Richards did. I think we'll need to wait for the powers that be to unearth a new talent from abroad to achieve this. Who knows, they may already have done!



04 Aug 2017 17:48:21
Please Ulf give us all a break. Move on from Afobe, it's tiring now and why should he gel and not others. Wolves have moved on, you need to. Forget marketing strategy, shirts, logo, it's all irrelevant now. Sick of the negatives you raise, try some positives for a change instead of doom and gloom. Just go with it and support the club or get a hobby.



04 Aug 2017 18:16:01
I'm only replying to put downs, justifying what I've already said. I only mentioned Afobe in reaction to them apparently not being willing to pay more than £10m for Afobe, but willing to pay £20m for Gray. And everything I've said has been positive, I've been totally supportive of Fosun, I've just contested over potentially bigger positives.

Morgan and Moxey's class ridden Wolves, of the top dictating and everyone putting a shift in forelock pulling regardless, is gone. Becoming a big modern club means we can intellectualise and question, without it being winding up, treason or witchcraft :-)



04 Aug 2017 20:05:50
Penk, he will never give up mate you are on a losing battle as far as Ulf is concerned. Ulf AKA Mr Adobe snr will always stick up for his son .



04 Aug 2017 17:40:56
The Ducks gone on loan to Coventry. 😁😁🙏.



04 Aug 2017 17:56:47
I hope he does well, for Coventry's sake too, they should be a big club but is their anyway back from being that broken?



04 Aug 2017 16:11:52
Score predictions for tomorrow then👇🏼 I'm going 2:0 wolves.



04 Aug 2017 16:41:22
I am saying 2-1 to Wolves.



04 Aug 2017 17:08:51
I hope 1-0 Wolves. I think we'll shut up shop (by moving it around rather than parking) and sneak an opportune goal. I suspect Nuno has tasked the team to keep a clean sheet above all else.



04 Aug 2017 13:44:02
Bring in Hernandez and send Baath the other way. Been saying it for ten days now.



04 Aug 2017 13:02:13
hi all

I took part in penalty challenge today scored 1 had other two saved
I predict we will lose 3-1 tomorrow
I urge you all to donate and take part in penalty challenge.

04 Aug 2017 16:22:25
Very positive gee.



04 Aug 2017 16:50:24
my thoughts exactely.



04 Aug 2017 20:59:13
With that prediction gee wolf I think you should donate on all our behalfs #mrnegative.



04 Aug 2017 10:01:08
Calling out to all Wolves fans!

Lets get behind our boys from the off tomorrow afternoon.

If it doesn't click with 10-15 games gone we need to stick by them. Big, big changes have happened both on and off the pitch and it may take a while to implament. We now have the players and style of football we all craved for. As long as we're in touching distance of the playoffs come Christmas I'll be happy.

So let's make the mighty Molineux our fortress and be our 12 man! I have no doubt that if support our team like I know we can we will be there or there abouts.

Good time to be a Wolves fan!
Come on lads!



04 Aug 2017 11:25:58
Here here!, major transformation! Must be given time, a bonus if we do it this year but I would be happy with next year, let's get behind the boys the manager and the club, come on me babies.



04 Aug 2017 10:48:32
Well said turu calm definitely needed but on here mate. gave loads when we lost against Shrewsbury so I expect if we lose there be some people whining Saturday afternoon but the true wolves fans will have listened to nuno and brought in to his way of football we have acquired some decent talent and can't see many beating us this season ok we may win majority 1-0 with lack of out and out goal scorer but hey ill take 46 1-0 wins.



04 Aug 2017 11:34:28
Here here! , major transformation. Must be given time, It would be a bonus if we can do it this season but I will happy if it is next season! , it's time to get behind the players the club and the manager, COME ON ME BABIES!



04 Aug 2017 11:37:04
Top 6 minimum this season!



04 Aug 2017 12:48:59
Great post Turu, spot on that man! ;) Feeling such a weird mix of excitement and nerves! Thought it was interesting with the stat that Spiers relied off, in that during Nunos tenure both Valencia and Porto had the tightest defences in the league! Great news that cause it should mean we will be right in most games (even when we lose) . Also important because as we all bang on about strikers it does show how Nuno likes to work and why he started the reconstruction from the back. Don’t get me wrong goals are what get you out of this league BUT you need considerably less of those goals if you can keep a clean sheet! BRING ON BORO! UTW ;)



04 Aug 2017 13:05:38
here here if wolves do not reach top six at least this season
me and paul tamworth will dress up as the teletubbies it all up to you who are to be out of the teletubbies?



04 Aug 2017 13:14:50
I'm still frustrated by Thelwell, who I think was misled with regard to marketing and missions, by know it all but actually knew nothing Moxey, and I don't think he understands the nature of clubs identity and brand potential, he's inclined to bring in players that aren't a good fit. I'm nervous now about the final striker he's going to get.



04 Aug 2017 14:23:18
But yes you are right. I'm 100% behind Nuno and the team. I think Nuno is going to be a big success :-)



04 Aug 2017 16:24:53
If we win 2moz it send out a big message I no its the first one but borough will be up there at the end of the season come on lads.



04 Aug 2017 16:28:18
Oi oi ulf you get a lot more appreciation if you lay off branding rubbish mate joey Barton was bad branding do you think the club's gave a rubbish he played at the top level every were.



04 Aug 2017 17:18:03
Joey Barton would have been fine, I was disappointed we never tried to sign him.

I'm not bothered about things being squeaky clean, I'm bothered about them being class. Barton had class by never conforming, but still holding his own in the game. He was his own person, a bit like a poor mans Ince. Gray could turn into that, who knows, at 26 he's at a tipping point. My main issue was I just wanted someone a bit younger, who would become us. Afobe having already been here, still only 24 and still to make his name big getting a team promoted fitted the bill perfectly.

But at 23 Bonatini would work too if he clicks. If he scores I'm going to shout Utini, like shiny eyed Jawas.



04 Aug 2017 07:25:04
New 3rd kitt set be revealed 1/ 2time at tomorrow's game only 2000 made on sale after game - poor decision should been more made esp as away kitt sold out till September in certain sizes also more sold with say 10% price to charity would benefit everyone.



04 Aug 2017 09:10:10
It would be cool if Andre Gray came out modelling the 3rd kit at half time? Make it happen Big Jeff 👍.



04 Aug 2017 09:24:18
Ha! that would make a statement . Not long now SL2 is calling.



04 Aug 2017 10:10:20
Gallagher is who wolves want but may have wait bit just hope have plan b in place if can't get him - gray won't come bring overpriced in market has put wolves off don't believe we bid £18.5m when already said £20m was to much knock five off then maybe.



04 Aug 2017 10:31:05
2,000 doesn't sound too bad considering it's the 3rd kit.



04 Aug 2017 11:12:53
It's limited to make it seem exclusive to drive sales which might otherwise be less, because it is the 3rd kit and because Moneyshop is still an issue that would otherwise be depressing sales. They've gone over and above to push shirt sales, they'll sell many many more when Moneyshop is replaced. Worst decision Moxey ever made, it exposed his total lack of understanding of the clubs brand potential and of marketing. Moneyshop exposed Moxey as a David Brent style buffoon, it did as much as anything to destroy Morgans legacy.



04 Aug 2017 11:17:16
Re yamyamrob and Gallagher, its not a very exciting proposition, I wouldn't see that as game changing, it's pointless if he's not available to buy. We're meant to be getting promoted, not developing players for the sake of it.

£15m for Afobe asap though would do it.



04 Aug 2017 11:45:59
ULF, trust me on this 'Afobe' is crap. He was good whilst with us, but, I saw him play several times at the Vitality last season and to say he's rubbish is an understatement. Many friends I have down here that support the Cherries would love to offload him. I think he could maybe score a few in the champ, but moving on into the Prem. Rubbish! Forget it!

⚽️👍😉.



04 Aug 2017 12:14:58
Re ulf, just letting you and everyone else know that as of last night these are the following odds:
Gray to watford 7/4
Gray to wolves 9/2, price has massively been pushed out as the other day he was 11/10 to join us.
Afobe to stay at Bournemouth 1/3
Afobe to Wolves 9/4.



04 Aug 2017 13:26:49
I think a lot of the rumours are simply to promote betting, and the odds are driven by whose bet what where, so it's just a reflection of rumours, rather than ITK.

I think Bournemouth are very canny operators who know the value of stuff. Better than us historically, they're already in the Prem and done a better job of it than we did. I think they've priced Afobe to us at the price they know he's worth to us, both for footballing and brand reasons. Thelwell thinks it's too much, because he's blind to all other values except the footballing one.

I think Bournemouth know Afobes only problem is he hasn't gelled with them. I think he would here with Nuno.

But I'd be happy with Gallagher now, if the alternative is 26yr old Hernadez. I think we need to go younger so the players end up feeling like ours, which is why I was keen on Afobe at 24.



04 Aug 2017 16:30:09
Go back to sleep ULF! We need a quality striker that can score in both the champ and prem.

Merson needs to go and have a large drink too! We will show them all how it's done. may need some time to gel but Bless You will definitely get it right. ⚽️👍😉.
