So if Madrid now don’t want to pay the money for Gomes, could we get him to stay for one more year? Galatasaray are sniffing around but he could do better than them. Yes, European football on offer but the champ is still better than most of the Super Lig.

VB problem is, if Gomes stays, Wolves have 2 defensive mfs with no goals. Andre, 1 goal; Gomes, I think, 7. No creativity, no goals, that was the problem. Wolves need a creative mf who can score goals.

Wolves should loan him out for a year. Let's see how sincere he is if Wolves make that offer.
23 Jun 2026 06:50:18
Stelle Solbakkan, remember him lol.

I did feel sorry for Solbakken. He knew he had to overhaul the squad and was allowed to bring in 7 players. We started that season really well, but unfortunately 6 of the 7 signings got injured at roughly the same time and were out for a considerable amount of time. He was then forced to use the useless players from the disappointing previous season, and, true to form, they proved that they were not up to the task.
Ultimately, without the players Solbakken signed, we slid down the table and ended up sacking him. Deep down, I feel that had those 6 players remained fit, we would have been pushing for promotion.
It reminds me of Graham Taylor in the 1990s when he lost Stowell, Thompson, Froggatt, Daley, Thomas and Bull for approx 2 months together, and the replacements were clearly not up to scratch.

Yes, the soon-to-be named Bomb Squad let Solbakken down. Dean Shambles followed, and, like Rob Edwards, wasn't able to stop the rot. Thankfully, Kenny Jackett got us together again.
22 Jun 2026 21:15:10
Stupid question, I know, but if we have sold 22-23k season tickets, then why don’t we sell more if there is a waiting list? Or do we have to keep a certain amount back for general sale?

Well obvs you have to allow for away allocation, but beyond that, VB, I think the reality is that in modern footy it's not in clubs' interests to push the season ticket model. It's precisely why many Prem clubs have got very militant about missing games. It's just logical, if you think about it, because by their very nature season tickets offer match tickets at a reduced price.
Add to that, those fans going less often are also far more likely to head to the club shop and spend a load of money as well. So, in short, clubs prefer to limit season ticket numbers, cause it just makes more sense financially. 👍
22 Jun 2026 09:28:52
Who cares how many season tickets
Have been sold.
Just turn up & support the lads.
We will still have one of the best supported teams in Championship.
As long as we are winning games & better performance then last season
That's all that matters.
There's no reason why we shouldn't win the league.
I am having £20 bet on us going straight back up.

We sold out. Haha. Which flies in the face of the narrative some are trying to spin v.

I always take my hat off to season ticket holders, especially to the fans who travel miles, sometimes twice per week, to watch their beloved team. The fans who travel home and away are hardcore to the floor.
I love Wolves, but I couldn't deal with all the travelling. It will be even more difficult for fans next season with the amount of matches scheduled. Hopefully such loyal supporters will be served up some banging football.

22 Jun 2026 14:42:15
I wish I could convince my other half, who doesn't like sport, to let me buy one. Hahaha.
Hopefully, this season is more fun to watch, but I've long given up on hope. But, that's what it means to be a Wolves fan.
And owners will come and go, as will players and staff. Our loyalty is to Wolves and the city. WAW.

As the season tickets were on general sale.can we be sure they have all been sold to genuine Wolves supporters?

Obviously 1 or 2 will have been bought by Southampton fans masquerading as WWFC twitchers club members.
I don't think Mosquera, Sa, Krejci, Tolu, Bellegarde and Hugo will be here come the start of the season.

I've got GK Patterson, Rb Trippier, CB Alleyne, Cb Toti, LB Moller Wolfe, CM Andre, Cm Doyle, Cam Rodrigo, Cam Mane, Cam Lopez, St Raul.

Good u have 12 players there, mate.

22 Jun 2026 14:52:02
I will add mine.
GK - anyone atm. Haha.
LB - Bueno/Wolf.
CB - Santi.
CB - Krejci (if we can keep him).
RB - Trip.
CM - Mane.
CM - Andre.
CM - another CM like Neves.
LW - R Gomes.
RW - Fer Lopez.
ST - Raul/Armstrong.
If we are going all attacking and high pressing that means 4-3-3.
But I would say that Santi, Toti, etc weren't good enough for the Prem. Our defence for a couple of seasons has been calamitous at best.
But who knows what the summer will bring. Or who it will bring in.

No apologies needed, bro. Good team.
21 Jun 2026 17:46:13
Spain vs Saudi Arabia showing how wretched "five at the back" is as a system. Unless a team has the right players in the right positions it doesn't work.
Hopefully a back five system will never be seen again at Wolves.
As for Spain, not as good as everyone thinks.

21 Jun 2026 19:42:40
No system works well with the wrong players in the wrong position. Good managers find a system that suits the players they have. Ramsey, in 66, with no wingers, went 4-3-3 instead. I suppose it's how adaptable the good players are.
Some will just need to be given a job and left to it. It's the classier ones who make it work at this level. In 66, it was Charlton, Moore, Peters and Ball who had the flair and technique to really make it work.

22 Jun 2026 14:56:18
I'm pretty sure all tactics and formations are like that. I don't think it's just 5 at the back. It worked for Nuno... We even had a song about it... With pace in attack?
Now I'm not a fan of 5 at the back because it limits attacking chances to quick transitional counters.
And that was the problem under Nuno, especially after Jimenez had that awful incident.
20 Jun 2026 20:18:59
Hope we're keeping Sasa & Tommy, good squad players for Championship. Great figures regarding season ticket sales, almost at cut off point, already!
1
20 Jun 2026 21:33:18
Season ticket sales are poor, Preston. They have approximately 600 left to go on general sale after renewals and members. What happened to the circa 10,000 waiting list? Or have they now got an ST because half the ground didn't renew? They don't usually have a big amount to put on general sale.
4
20 Jun 2026 23:53:16
22,500 is the cut-off point, which will be reached soon! How the hell is that poor after last season? 'Half the ground didn't renew' makes no sense either! FWAW.
3
21 Jun 2026 05:02:07
22,500 season ticket holders last year, plus 10,000 on the waiting list equals over 32,000, correct? This year, with 600 left to go on general sale, it means they've only sold less than 22,000.
It's not rocket science.
And what I meant was, if half haven't renewed, have those gone to the ten thousand on the waiting list, because obviously, if they're on general sale, the waiting list has gone.

21 Jun 2026 12:47:50
It's the fastest the tickets have ever sold... but that doesn't fit your narrative so let's ignore facts and stick to feelings.
Why do some "fans" seem to hate Wolves? It's like we have a section of Roy Keanes. I just wanna know... what made these people like this?

21 Jun 2026 13:35:05
If you're referring to me, WhatALoad, I far from hate the club, buddy. Supported and been a ticket holder for way too long to hate. I got 'numbed' years ago.

For your info, I've been a ST holder since early 90s, and travel to at least half our away games.

Sasa Hust lifted his team in Austria to two trophies.
20 Jun 2026 13:46:25
Reports saying Wolves are after Che Adams. Don't understand this. Yes, he's good in the Championship. But if Wolves get promoted he's not PL quality, same as Armstrong, and both will be 30 or more. Then Wolves have Jiminez and he's 35. Surely Wolves should be looking for someone younger.
8
20 Jun 2026 15:15:27
We've got to get promoted in the first place, the club will have plans in place for that eventuality, I guess, and the players concerned will be made aware of them before signing.
2
20 Jun 2026 16:34:53
I see both sides of the argument, to be honest. I understand the point that you have to get promoted first, and players like Che Adams and Armstrong will certainly help do that. However, I also agree with Dmac, in so much as we absolutely know that both of those strikers are not even close to the standard needed to play in the Prem.
Personally, I'd sooner we spend the money on someone like Ballard from Leyton Orient.
Ballard is just 21 years old, scored 23 goals last season, and has played for England at every youth level. A player like that might still be able to find another level in the Prem, and the problem with players like Adams and Armstrong is, what's the end game once we are back up?
11
20 Jun 2026 16:59:12
BullysBoy 11, that is the problem. If Wolves get promoted, who is going to score the goals? M Hatt, saying the players will have been informed of what might happen.
Are you going to sign a 3 year deal to be told, if Wolves get promoted, we will sell you? I don't think that happens. No matter who you are, Wolves will have a problem if promoted.
1
20 Jun 2026 17:28:16
Remember Leo Bonatini? He was good enough to help us get promoted and almost broke a club record doing so. My point being, if they help Wolves get promoted, they're good enough.
2
20 Jun 2026 18:03:26
F Jack, he then got sold, didn't score in PL. This is my point.

20 Jun 2026 18:05:37
At this moment in time, the squad - assuming the club does lose its better players (J Gomes, Krejci and maybe Bueno H) - should not give you any worries about "what if they go up" because, as constituted, it is far more likely to go down!
It's not who will score the goals in the Prem, but who will score/stop them in the Champ.
Signing young prospects is obviously important for the long term future of the club, but it is optimistic to expect the current squad, supplemented only by Trippier, Raul and a number of young players - British or overseas - with minimal experience at this level, to carry the club to safety, let alone promotion.
Whilst I completely understand your point about filling the squad with old boys/not good enough for Prem players, adding a further smattering such as Nick Pope, Tyrone Mings/Adam Webster and a couple of others, including maybe Che Adams or Ross Barkley, should, relatively cheaply (in transfer fees if not wages), take away that downside, at least for a year or so, allowing the club to see which of the younger players signed alongside them are up to the job.
The squad has been hopelessly unbalanced for a while now, which partially explains why it is where it is, and failing to address that would be an error.
PS. On a totally different subject, I read recently on this very site an extremely long post that detailed, although not very accurately, the transfer activity of the club in the Prem. What it failed to say, presumably because it didn't fit with their very odd agenda, was that it reflected one of, if not the lowest, net spends in the Prem over that period.
It also claimed that it was directly correlated to/impacted upon FFP/PSR.
Sadly, this merely shows how important financial literacy is.
One, net transfer spend, is a cashflow item, and the other is a measure/test of P and L levels. The link between the two, in the short term particularly, is modest.
You can be cash flow negative but highly profitable in a period, and of course vice versa.
If you are writing or reading an article/post that discusses Wolves financial performance, it would probably be better if you asked someone who can read accounts to look at it before drawing/posting too many conclusions.

I don't want to be a pedant, Ford, (cue being a pendant:), but what records did Bonatini get close to breaking? Genuine question here, cause the only thing I can think of is the only player to score all of his goals before Xmas?!. 👍

21 Jun 2026 09:18:43
Think we just need to take one step at a time. Let's not count our chickens too early.
The Championship is a different beast to the Prem. Where we were used to Premiership professionalism, respect and sportsmanship we will now be faced with Mad Max and the Thunder Dome! 😳😂🐺 FWAW.
0
21 Jun 2026 12:30:12
I don't want to be a pedant, Wolf, but how did Costa, Cav, Douglas, Goldy, Mac, etc cope in the Prem... oh wait, we got rid of them. What about Dicko or Afobe? We replaced them. Douglas is the prime example. We got Vinagre and him. He did bits and we sold him. When we got to the Prem, we brought in new players such as Raul, Mout and co. You do know that, right? Like, how we also got Castro?
But yeah, why aren't we signing Mbappe and Arda Guler? Same old Wolves showing no ambition...
I see Real Madrid, PSG and Man City are moving with transfers for big names... After all, we are the best team in the world and not a team that finished bottom of the Prem. Haha.
We need to buy players with Championship experience. After a season with a lack of that, you'd think you guys would want something different.
I hope Nathan learns quickly that you can't satisfy our fanbase, because a section of our fans will never ever be happy, and will always look for something to moan about.
19 Jun 2026 10:51:51
Did anyone see that we are linked with the striker Pablo of West Ham? Would be a reunion with our new head coach Peixoto. Exciting if true. Imagine Pablo and Raul together.
1
19 Jun 2026 14:45:34
Is he actually any good though, Deep? I haven't seen him much, in truth, but I see he hasn't scored a single goal for WHU and has struggled for game time at a club that desperately needed a striker last season, is all.
3
19 Jun 2026 16:53:52
Yeah, I don't rate him, BullysBoy. He hasn't looked that good when I've watched him this season. I also think Jimenez and Armstrong will complement each other well, although we will probably only start with 1 striker.
1
19 Jun 2026 17:07:19
Valid points above, but West Ham signed him for a reason. They were almost as rubbish as us last season and even Harry Kane might not have scored in that team. If Peixoto rates him, let's keep our options open.

Che Adams considering joining.

Hope it's just the usual paper talk hype. Think we can do better than him.

20 Jun 2026 11:24:16
Che Adams could do a job in the Championship for us. Not good enough for the Premier League now. In fact, the same applies to Trippier, Raul, and Armstrong, if truth be told. They can all help us get promotion, but beyond that, we need other players able to make the transition.
Genius signings under Nuno, such as Jota and Neves, are examples of who we should be looking for.
