No doubt another mendez cast off. is that all we have ambition for is mendez cast offs. promotion we struggled against ipswich and haven't played any decent sides.3 points to the blues come saturday. oh and our so called big signing has gone to turkey to play.

Nelson was recommended as a loan to Mick 3 years ago by my friend within Benfica and I set up the discussions, unfortunately Benfica did not think Wolves were good enough - how times have changed!

He has not set the world on fire at Forest and no longer in the national team so I would say HE is not good enough for Wolves.

Demon Yes not played anyone who's going to set the footballing world alight yet but have we lost. Has this squad and new look personnel we have got running in the background even had a full month yet? No. Do we need more players yes we do are we going to sign more players yes we are. Facts are despite oliveria not maximizing his potential somewhere else doesn't mean he necessarily won't be a good addition to our team. Players perform different for different managers and in different systems. The fact is Walter likes to have a target man down the middle and with bodvarsson currently being the only forward we currently have who fits that mold I'd rather us be looking at him then the rubbish we used to get linked with. I'm pretty sure demon you were one of the ones moaning when we signed joao tiexeria saying we are signing the crap one. Well from what I've seen so far his a brilliant addition to our team. But seriously you are the most annoying and negative poster on this site.

If he's that good
Why oh why could we not beat a piss poor ipswich. you have been sucked into all these cheap loan deals. if they were any good they would not be here.

17 Aug 2016 19:34:33
Demon 5 points and unbeaten is not a bad start if you average around 2 points per game at the end of the season we will be there or there abouts. Let's just wait and see who else will come in not many of our signings have actually been talked about before they signed.

17 Aug 2016 20:13:36
Demon, funny the 2 cast offs that have played have been best 2 players on pitch in all 3 games, the problem is the dead wood he has inherited, unfortunately you get the odd thick slice on here who thinks we are going to spend massive now we have money, they may be a bit smarter than you me thinks!

17 Aug 2016 21:01:36
You've got 2 remember apart from bodvarsson teixeira all the others r jackets team it's not worth spending millions and millions while we in championship Jeff shi said when they took over money no problem but b sensible getting players in the right positions where we need them.

17 Aug 2016 21:37:16
That would be every position them Harlow? Lol.

17 Aug 2016 22:29:48
Demon I can tell your not a man of statistics and don't realise that 1 player out of 10 outfield players is only 10 percent of the team so no matter how good one player is they can't actually win a game on their own and your comment only further concludes my theory your a moron. I'm pretty sure if we put Cristiano ronaldo or messi maybe even both in a team where they rely on a midfield with the playmaking efforts of coady Edwards and Evans we may well struggle to beat Ipswich still.

17 Aug 2016 22:51:35
I think we may have beaten Ipswich with messi and Ronaldo up front! But then again I could be a moron.

17 Aug 2016 22:52:38
Having said that demons certainly not a happy clapper!

17 Aug 2016 23:23:48
Suttondan I stated that demon was a moron for his previous comment if you read it. My comment about ronaldo and messi was also an exaggerated light hearted comment made more so towards the lack of promotion quality we have in the rest of the team. I do now however think you are a moron for taking it literally and not actually reading my comment properly by stating my comment was that a moron would think we could beat Ipswich with messi and ronaldo playing as that isn't what I said lol.

17 Aug 2016 23:25:22
I've all reread your comment suttondan and notice you were also having a laugh so therefore would like to state myself to am a moron lmao.

18 Aug 2016 00:13:12
Why are people getting involved in hand bags and glad rags. It's a Wolves Rumour site not a application for Jeremy Kyle. We all support the same club . Ide therefore presume we all want the same thing. success? so how about share oppinions but save insults for the blues at the weekend. Night Lads COYW.

{Ed003's Note - I think it was taken in a good humour.)

18 Aug 2016 07:33:47
Whatever. and we still can't beat ipswich. and yes they should be spending big. that's the whole idea of fast tracking to the premiere. unless you want to stay in this division for another 20 years. pay the wages you get the players. pay peanuts you get the dog and duck players.

18 Aug 2016 09:40:54
Demon, are you really passionate about the club? Who were you expecting Neymar and Pique to come. You have got to be realistic with signings mate.
But I do agree that we should be looking to spend big. But with some of the names were looking at it seems like we are. So I'm actually quite happy with the form were in and so should you.

18 Aug 2016 12:15:58
Demon, you haven't got reasonable expectations. You seem obsessed with the idea it's all about getting promoted this season, and we should already be a force to be reckoned with.

How? Our team have had no pre-season, we've not finished transfer dealings and signings, we have no squad depth yet and with games coming so fast our squad was too tired, McCarthy set out to foil us and Walter has no experience of the Championship and English 'dirty' football so didn't know who to overcome that by grinding and didn't have the players (not signed yet, not up to speed yet or too tired) to make the difference with quality. And McCarthy did play dirty, he even said in the post match interview his team did the dirty things well. We did draw, which was as good as Kenny ever did, and he has tons of experience of that kind of grinding football. The fact Walter did as well at his first exposure to McCarthy the master of it is impressive.

If we finish any higher than Kenny did last season, but also get a properly decent team together, Walter gets to learn the ropes of the Championship, and we get a proper team and fan spirit going, all things we can take into next season to hit the ground running, this season will be a success. McCarthy didn't get us promoted in our first season, it took 2 (I think maybe same with DJones but can't remember), Fosun, Walter, and our team are entitled to this season to find their feet. If they do better than great, but it's unreasonable to expect it.

All we have to do is support and make sure the one bit of the jigsaw we can help with happens, positive support and togetherness we can build through this season and take into next so we can all hit the ground running.

18 Aug 2016 12:34:37
I agree with you Wolves011, we have got to look at Wolves as a top league footballer in Spain, England, Italy, Germany and Portugal and you get approached by Wolves to come and play for them who are not in the top league in England - firstly not many would even consider playing in the 2nd division. Plus we finished 14th last season, not a good start is it. Our saving grace now is that Fosun have saved us from dicing with relegation this season and whoever they persuade to come here with their money will be welcomed with open arms.
If we do ok, good or really good (play offs or better) then we will open some eyes and ears to our project.

Picking up the likes of Luicao and Balotelli plus players like Bovarrson are definitely improvements on what we would usually be fishing around for.

Let's just relax be patient a little longer cause the good times are just around the corner. If its not this season it should be next.

18 Aug 2016 13:23:55
Bodvarrson^.

17 Aug 2016 12:28:57
Besiktas have struck a deal with Benfica over the transfer of Anderson Talisca according to Turkish football journalist Gökmen Özdemir.

17 Aug 2016 12:38:20
Good this has dragged on far to long. and we don't need one star player upsetting the team morale.

17 Aug 2016 13:00:07
Alberto from Liverpool plays in exactly the same position as Talisca and is a lot cheaper. Then you've got box to box players like Bjarnason, so no great loss. Ola John looks a good bet now for the left wing.

17 Aug 2016 13:13:53
Correct and also played in England and know a bit about our game these two could be great additions.

17 Aug 2016 13:14:48
Hang on so he vaule at 23mill so send him on load and get hurt noway.

17 Aug 2016 13:23:59
English translation please Dappa?

17 Aug 2016 13:24:33
Alberto, Bjarnason and Martin, all for almost the same price as Talisca!

17 Aug 2016 13:39:39
It has to be work permit issues so let's move on if true as these are the same people who said he was flying to England to sign for Wolves! Does it say he's going on loan from Benfica or are we buying him and loaning him out as other teams have done.

17 Aug 2016 13:55:12
Don wolf you try beening up a roof with this small screen lol.

17 Aug 2016 14:01:24
Alberto, is that the Liverpool player that's worth a goal a game to the opposition, I'd rather have Buttner, but when did we last buy a left back think it was Homesick Jelly in 2010.

Bjarnason, Quality, good workrate would be a great signing.

Martin, undecided, could get better.

{Ed001's Note - Alberto is an attacking midfielder, Luis Alberto. You are thinking of Alberto Moreno.}

17 Aug 2016 14:05:22
Just seen this from Mailonline

The Spanish left-back has started 2016-17 under the same cloud of ridicule to which he finished the last. His decision making is, at times, inexplicable. His tackling is often rash and unnecessary, while his sense of positioning must improve drastically. Without question, he was the weakest link in Klopp's side against Arsenal on Sunday

No thanks, not for us.

{Ed001's Note - again not the player who is linked with Wolves.}

17 Aug 2016 14:13:32
Don't see why the work permit seems rooted as a cause for preventing him signing for us.

A few seasons back, Santiago Munez signed for Newcastle without any problems whatsoever.

17 Aug 2016 14:31:40
Luis Alberto wants to stay in spain, bjarnasson was an accidental link as roma in italy are also known as 'wolves'. Martin is far more realistic :)

17 Aug 2016 16:25:35
Dear god Alberto Moreno is the Liverpool left back, luis Alberto is a Spanish streaking midfielder who Liverpool have loaned back to Spain as he and Aspas didn't settle (or make the grade) at Anfield.
Do you guys not watch football?
