(single word yields best result)

27 Jul 2016 20:52:23
Joao tiexiara the latest player from Portugal to be linked tonight.



27 Jul 2016 20:56:25
Fed up of being linked with all these players now just want to see some movement instead of being on the edge of my seat all day.



27 Jul 2016 21:10:09
I'm buzzing I thought it was enthralling with the takeover but I can't put my phone down I've charged it 3 times today. COYW.



27 Jul 2016 21:12:57
That's just excitement lol you know we're getting players it's just who, how many, when, this is better than the previous 2 weeks when we had to wait for the takeover to be announced, I couldn't have taken another day of that saga.



27 Jul 2016 21:17:38
Same here its exciting times I would just like to see a couple of signings before saturdays game to start getting the team to gel.



27 Jul 2016 21:50:51
Seems everyone has forgotten we haven't announced ANY of the 3 signings supposed to have arrived today. Let's all just calm down until official wolves says it's happened!



27 Jul 2016 21:53:39
The Pele signing for €2 million is slightly bermusing considering the club has aspirations to fill the squad with superstars as is Costa who is said to be another VLP type. The other new player, Silver, has a lot of quality but has spent most of his career on the physio's table.

Like I said, it would be hard to see how these 3 would play at all if Wolves do start signing Premiership class quality in every position. It will certainly be interesting seeing how things develop from here but sincerely hope Mendes isn't just bringing in dross to line his own pocket. We will find out soon, I guess and they can't be any worse than Batth, EEL, Savile, Coady, Edwards and co.



27 Jul 2016 22:00:58
Thomas Lemar started for Monaco in champs league qualifier tonight so I'm guessing it wasn't him at Compton yesterday and Cavaliero came on as sub for them too I think so are we not in for these two as suggested? Gutted if that's the case:- (



27 Jul 2016 22:28:44
No, I think Wolves are deadly serious about Lemar and especially Cavaleiro but it may well be next week if they were to come for a medical. Wolves were waiting for this game to finish tonight before they could do anything.



27 Jul 2016 22:51:21
Really hope you are right Wavidsmith because a midfield of Lemar and Talisca with a quality sitting midfielder is mouthwatering! Especially if Cavaliero was on one wing and Silva or Salvio on the other! Insane this could potentially happen!



27 Jul 2016 23:24:08
I agree. I particularly like the Monaco sitting midfielder called B Carvalho Silva who's available for around €15 million and the other winger from Benfica called E Salvio €20. We were linked to both earlier this week.



27 Jul 2016 23:42:54
I'm so happy I've jizzed my pants. This is Wolverhampton Wanderers! Welcome Jeff! We are the Wolves! Come on!



28 Jul 2016 00:35:44
I doubt Teixaria will be joining us seeing as he only signed for Porto last month.



28 Jul 2016 06:24:51
Isnt salvio a right back or full back and he plays for atletico madrid and was on loan at benfice or am I just thinking about the wroung one because there is a salvio who plays for benfica but no chance of getting him.



28 Jul 2016 11:12:32
Yes, mate it is the Benfica player Eduardo Salvio. He was muted around the premiership last season but nobody came. He is still available for around £15 million.

The talk originally were wingers Talisca and Salvio in a Wolves €50 double swoop. We have the Talisca fee sorted but not sure what happened to Salvio.

The other two expensive targets are midfielders T Lemar and B Silva from Monaco who would command a fee of around the £10 million mark each.



27 Jul 2016 19:33:56
Fee for talisca agreed £20mil, wolves going to FA tomorrow getting work permit, reporting in portuagul tonight.
I no its hard to believe this is happening is this really Wolverhampton Wanderers the team I've loved for 53 years, someone wake me up please.



27 Jul 2016 19:47:19
Erm any sign of our 3 new players who were supposed to be announced today?



27 Jul 2016 19:53:58
Amazing can you imagine what it would be like if we went up 😀😀😀😀😀😀.



27 Jul 2016 19:57:17
Dave - this is not going to happen (as much as I would love it to)



27 Jul 2016 20:42:32
I do hope this is true.



27 Jul 2016 20:46:00
Paul just to be able to compete for players like this is making my heart glow, let's wait and see, if not talisca someeone else will be our marquee signing, in little Jeff we trust.



27 Jul 2016 21:16:26
Paul check Talisca's Facebook page.



27 Jul 2016 21:36:43
There's nothing on his Facebook page last post was 18th July.



27 Jul 2016 21:40:29
There's nothing on his fb page except a post from 10 days ago about flying to the UK?



27 Jul 2016 21:56:55
That was dated last week.



27 Jul 2016 22:39:14
PaulTameworth,
you better believe it's happening!



28 Jul 2016 00:41:04
Reported in daily fail already secured a work permit

Hope it's true.



28 Jul 2016 09:18:56
What would we do with a £20m signing anyway? Apart from Kenny keeping him on the bench anyway, can you imagine him with our team?



27 Jul 2016 19:25:32
I'm hearing we are after DMF Miguel Veloso available on a free transfer and striker Nélson Oliveira for £3,500,00.00 .

We've also made a tentative inquiry about signing free agent Emmanuel Adebayor (I'm hoping this is utter tosh by my source is reliable) .



27 Jul 2016 19:55:22
What's happened to Ola John? Jeff did say 5-8 players but we've apparently enquired about 15-18. Crazy.



27 Jul 2016 19:56:10
I mean 3.5 million pounds - I mistakenly missed out a zero.



27 Jul 2016 20:06:00
Can't say much about Nelson Oliviera as I don't know much about him however, he was talked up as a big talent a lot when he was a teenager and did ok at Notts forest last season apparently.

On the other hand, Miguel Veloso is a great player, probably nearing the latter stages of his career but would still be an incredible signing if we pull it off.



27 Jul 2016 20:09:44
No no adebayor is a trouble maker!



27 Jul 2016 22:37:07
Nelson Oliveira is a striker that would do well over here. Target man, got a bit of everything.
Veloso is a Alonso type.
The future. if all is to be believed. Is very very bright.



27 Jul 2016 15:15:42
Hearing news that we may be starting talks with Mendes to bring in Fabio Coentrao from Real Madrid whos currently on loan at Monaco.



27 Jul 2016 15:35:21
That's a new one where did you hear this?



27 Jul 2016 15:37:55
Hearing news . were.



27 Jul 2016 15:40:14
Ive heard this as well, I've put something on Twitter about it and a Monaco page as liked it, crazy if this happens!



27 Jul 2016 15:41:47
Until we get any signings, aren't we just getting a bit too ahead of ourselves here?



27 Jul 2016 15:53:20
Living the dream coolerboy.



27 Jul 2016 15:55:07
I saw this, too. Available for £25 million.



27 Jul 2016 15:55:41
I heard it from a bloke who works for Oxford who are looking to loan one of our players and the topic of the takeover came up and it was mentioned then as this is the signing Jeff Shi wants to be the 'gobsmacking' signing which he said he wanted to surprise us with, unreal if it happens.



27 Jul 2016 16:04:48
Getting ahead of ourselves, where you been the last few weeks? Of course we are. Got to have dreams before KJ ruins them.



27 Jul 2016 16:28:50
Its way better than being linked with lower division players that we normally get.



27 Jul 2016 16:35:08
If we sign Tulisca, Cavaleiro, Silva, Contrao, Salvio etc etc etc, I think it's fair to say the 20-30 million 2 year budget was a load of rubbish.



27 Jul 2016 16:35:43
That would be ace but £25mil on a left back in the championship? I'm not sure it makes great sense, I know he can play left wing but wouldn't we want a specialist winger? Maybe he would be great as a wing back. My imaginary agent friend (according to Spanish Wolf) hasn't heard any genuine links to him.



27 Jul 2016 16:40:30
That would be a stunning signing and a true statement of intent.



27 Jul 2016 16:52:04
Best news yet the fat controller confirmed going to Norwich I'le drive you their you fat git.



27 Jul 2016 16:57:51
Would we sign him permanent though, or loan him?



27 Jul 2016 17:02:40
David clarke looked for u on twitter and there are loads of david clarkes which 1s u mate i'm new to twitter.



27 Jul 2016 17:08:06
Admit age are you taking credit for all this then? These names have done the rumour circuit now for three weeks. I posted some time ago regarding the guy from R Madrid. Not through my imaginary friend it was just by researching alternative sports papers here in Spain and Portugal.



27 Jul 2016 17:23:38
Perhaps not the most exotic name but the player I would like Wolves to sign would be Chris Martin of Derby. A proven Championship goalscorer, he has destroyed us in the last few games against them. I doubt Derby would sell to us though.



27 Jul 2016 18:17:18
Spanish Wolf; I have a friend who is an agent, he is not linked to Wolves but has a good relationship with Kevin Thelwell. He works mainly with American and Scandinavian clubs and players. He let's me know stuff to do with Wolves if it's got any legs. He has not heard one bit of genuine news regarding Fabio Coentrao. If you're right you are in the wrong job. I'm just letting people know what I've heard, I hope I'm wrong though. Time will tell.



27 Jul 2016 19:04:10
Admit age I hope we are both correct as you say Time will tell!



27 Jul 2016 20:12:18
Don't think coentrao would cost £25m folks so don't worry too much about that, I imagine he wouldn't cost any more than about £15m. Very talented left back but as you can tell, by him being sent out on loan to Monaco, he's not in favour at Real and therefore I imagine hey wouldn't be too bothered about offloading him.



27 Jul 2016 23:54:12
Chris Martin would be a good signing, he could also provide live music at half-time.



27 Jul 2016 14:22:12
Wolves are said to be one of 5 teams interested in signing former championship player of the year Patrick Bamford. Wolves need to sign some home grown talent proven at this level to compliment the talented Portuguese youngsters.



27 Jul 2016 14:51:19
Bamford looks a good shout. We need players who have done it in the championship, as well as up and coming young Portuguese players.



27 Jul 2016 15:12:07
Hope we go after Wilson from Man Utd too.



27 Jul 2016 15:24:39
Bamford would be a great signing.



27 Jul 2016 15:55:46
Bamford too cheap and not good enough.



27 Jul 2016 16:18:12
Too cheap? He is proven at championship level and that is what we need. He was player of the season in this division a couple of years ago!



27 Jul 2016 16:29:02
Adam Armstrong we should get.



27 Jul 2016 16:37:04
Yeah, Pritchard is too cheap. and below us.



27 Jul 2016 16:43:22
Bamford is definitely good enough for the Championship!



27 Jul 2016 16:47:22
dont waste your breathe walsallwolf unless its sako wavid smith doesn't want them.



27 Jul 2016 17:03:40
Bramford, Pritchard and a sprinkling of international players would do for me, Sako's the past and never worked hard enough!



27 Jul 2016 17:07:40
sbrek - just makes me laugh as I read so many comments on here about all these players we need/ want. but I just think we need to mix the fancy players from europe with some good british players that know this level like bamford

Either way will be an interesting season!



27 Jul 2016 17:25:39
Walsallwolves I agree mate some of the comments I read make me facepalm especially when just because we've got money I'm seeing everyone saying we aren't being ambitious enough whenever a young English player is mentioned.

Never ending story I totally agree both would be great signings along with some of the foreign youngsters we've been linked with and I'd say a solid English defender or two or even just defenders that have cut it in this league and it could be a perfect mix.



27 Jul 2016 17:46:34
yea lots of face palm moments to be honest! I think its a fine line between ambitious and realistic!

Big centre half with championship experience would be good! Plus we all know we need a striker so hopefully Bamford would fit the mould and with dicko coming back and the wingers and midfielders we are being linked with I think attacking wise we should be really exciting!



27 Jul 2016 18:07:16
Sako, Sako Sako Sako.



27 Jul 2016 18:13:46
I'm sick of everyone going on about Pritchard and Bamford. I don't actually think either are great and it's not just me that thinks that, do your research at their current clubs and you'll see what I mean. Anyone English is a no with Shi, in case you hadn't noticed.

McCormack is available right this second at £12 million. He might be nearly 30, but is a nailed on goalscorer. Middlesborough would also take £15 million for Rhodes but the real problem is Shi doesn't want old English league players, only future Premiership stars so it's a waste of time mentioning them.



27 Jul 2016 19:08:36
Forget Liverpool. Anderson Talisca is now reportedly joining Wolverhampton for a club record fee.
According to Wednesday’s edition of A Bola, Wolves are paying €25m for the midfielder, who’s leaving Benfica after two seasons with the Portuguese side.
Now the club are expected to ask the FA for a work permit on Thursday. As he doesn’t have enough appearances for the Brazilian national team, Wolves’ basis for the request would be the value of the transfer and wages, plus his games for Benfica in the Champions League and the Portuguese league.
Talisca was heavily linked to Liverpool in the past few weeks, with the same newspaper claiming that a deal with the Reds was agreed as well. The only problem for this move would be the work permit.
We’ve always said that there was something strange with this transfer, since Liverpool were very unlikely to pay that amount for such an unproved player, and the claims around a Championship work permit being easier are simply nonsense.
A Bola’s article today doesn’t even mention Liverpool, as if they hadn’t previously said he’s going there.



28 Jul 2016 11:05:32
First post here guys but have been an avid reader over the past 5/ 6 weeks!

Trying to stay grounded a bit but can't help but get excited by these players we are getting linked too, looks like our new man Jeff is really looking to splash the cash. I can only hope that we have a good mix of foreign players, up and coming English talent and players from our own academy.

What a time to be a wolves fan!



27 Jul 2016 12:06:05
Some news here. Talisca going to wolves!

goo.gl/hUcMpp



27 Jul 2016 12:37:52
Doesn't mention him 1 bit mate.



27 Jul 2016 12:43:39
No mention of Talisca there.



27 Jul 2016 12:53:53
First ever post on here. Tallisca looks to be signing for us. Posted on football fan cast website. Rejected Liverpool and wolves apparently signing him by weekend reported as £16.8 million (25 million euros) . Only put on what I have read guys.



27 Jul 2016 12:54:16
Can someone clear up the Talisca thing? First it states he's definitely coming to Wolves, now it says Liverpool again! Please someone say definitely one way, or the other. HITC really don't seem to think so.



27 Jul 2016 13:04:06
From Portugal, Express saying Anderson Talisca is set to join Wolves

goo.gl/Oig5kC



27 Jul 2016 13:14:41
hitc reporting one hour ago that he has in fact reached an agreement with liverpool.

I HOPE TO GOD HE COMES TO WOLVES BUT RIGHT NOW I DOUBT ITS GOING TO HAPPEN.

we will be beaten to it.



27 Jul 2016 13:16:24
wavidsmith - Don't use HITC as your trusted source! They just regurgitate news days later. They certainly don't do ANY investigative journalism, therefore have noone ITK.



27 Jul 2016 13:20:50
look on 101greatgoals.com its about the 11th story down on the left hand side.



27 Jul 2016 13:40:58
Sorry that's meant to be 101greatgoals. com.



27 Jul 2016 14:25:37
Rekon it's the agent bouncing stories back and forth to boost price.



27 Jul 2016 14:35:06
*IF* we are interested and signed himn. It would be unbelievable but wait for official wolves for any truth behind anything.



27 Jul 2016 14:50:27
I don't know how true it is, but we were also after his partner E Salvio for around the same money. They wanted both of them for 50 million. Look out for his name, too.



27 Jul 2016 11:43:56
Talisca to be the flagship signing, big Jeff smashing WWFC transfer record @ £16.8m
. It's actually feckin happenin! .



27 Jul 2016 11:57:52
Where did you hear that?
Grea was if true.



27 jul 2016 12:05:41
anderson talisca benfica goals & skills 2015 / 2016



27 Jul 2016 12:03:18
Yh daily star and some other papers and reporter in portugal has confirmed this.



27 Jul 2016 12:05:37
It's been reported by various sources in Portugal - Abola,
He will sign at the weekend! . € 25m!
You can read the report in English on express. com

27 Jul 2016 12:33:58
Amazing news.



27 Jul 2016 13:00:34
Looks awesome Pompey
But can he do it on a Tuesday night in Barnsley 😂.



27 Jul 2016 13:12:47
As long as he can do it on a Saturday afternoon at St James Park Steve then that's good enough. Do hope we are looking at English talent too though as it makes me a bit nervous with 4 potential Portuguese players possibly joining.



27 Jul 2016 13:51:46
Steve,
With the upmost respect mate, our first team couldn't do it against Crewe or Port Vale. Nani and Ranaldo did very well in the UK system.



27 Jul 2016 06:56:27
Wolves set to sign three players today:
Pele - Permanent
Silvio - Loan
Helder Costa - Loan

Source - Express and Star.



27 Jul 2016 07:40:35
Hasn't Silvio been released?



27 Jul 2016 08:19:53
We need Sako back. Even if we have to pay a fee, we should. I hope Shi is reading this.



27 Jul 2016 08:21:49
He is contracted to Athletico, was loaned out to Benfica last season.



27 Jul 2016 08:26:40
I think Jackett better start learning Portugese!



27 Jul 2016 08:36:49
Sako as gone move on let the good times begin.



27 Jul 2016 08:40:16
I think JACKETT and Thellwell best ask Moxey to get them a job at Norwich! It will be Big Jeffs and Mendes team. Can't see how he can stay as coach as he won't be able to pick his buddies over their signins.



27 Jul 2016 08:52:31
Just read up on Silvio and he seems injury prone. Nasty knee injury few years back that relapsed a lot and then at Benfica broke his leg. Only played 17 games in 3 seasons at Benfica. Hoping his injuries are behind him now as he obviously has quality having signed a 5 year contract at Atletico and having played in Europa League run with Braga all the way to the final. Fingers crossed!



27 Jul 2016 08:52:47
Sako wouldn't come back IMO. He left for Premiership football, that he rightly deserved. He's not going to come back to us for 2 more seasons in the Chump.



27 Jul 2016 08:55:15
Paul T,

It's increasingly obvious that Kenny is just a caretaker coach now.
Full credit to new owners not rushing to replace Kenny until the right man is available.



27 Jul 2016 09:31:01
I agree Deep Throat.



27 Jul 2016 09:37:09
Another player i'd like to see next season is Liam Bridcutt, watched him a few times when he was at Brighton and he is better than anything we currently have and he is available for transfer.



27 Jul 2016 09:39:35
Non-of those three players have played a lot of football lately. With the knowledge that it takes a year to settle in English football I am worried that these players are not the type of players we need. I really hope I'm wrong.

Would love to see is sign some English proven talent.



27 Jul 2016 09:50:07
I know we're only in the Championship and aren't going to get stars in full flow at the peak of their careers, but I hope this isn't us already being used as a feeder club for Mendes, for him to rehabilitate talent / give it a second chase when it's failed to make it. Because these players, although Portuguese, do seem to be on the sidelines / to have stalled a bit in their careers.

It seems Fosun have Mendes as their football advisor, I suspect he's going to advise them on what's good for Mendes rather than us, it will be interesting to see how and if it works.



27 Jul 2016 09:50:28
Lincs Wolf,

Sako hasn't quite made it in the PL. He's deadly in our league though. He showed loyalty to us in League One. I'd sign him if he would come. Maybe we will sign better players with the money behind us?



27 Jul 2016 09:57:10
If we sign Lemar, Cavaleiro, Silver, Van Der Vaart and Talisca, I'll be a very happy man.



27 Jul 2016 10:07:02
Sako would definitely come back if we paid him correctly this time, he loves being the centre of attention. It's far cheaper than some of the other options I keep hearing, and probably better. The difference between Sako being in the team or not = 25 points.

How difficult can it be? Please listen Mr Shi, please.



27 Jul 2016 10:12:04
Ulf,

Mendes's company is part of the Fosun group. He in reality works for Fosun.



27 Jul 2016 10:15:50
Wouldn't mind seeing Duffy, Pritchard, Bentaleb, Crouch, Bridcutt, Enrique, Ola John.



27 Jul 2016 10:59:44
I think wavidsmith has a load of sako wolves merchandize he needs to flog because all I'm seeing nowadays is calls for sako and his name underneath lol. Just like to point out the 25 points you tally as being the difference between sako and no sako have you taken into account our undefeated run in the January when sako was on African nations cup duty. I think you'll find our biggest loss of points between last season and the season before was in fact dicko. As can be judged with the stats example being our run of 5 straight defeats in November to December involved sako in all fixtures but no dicko.



27 Jul 2016 11:09:34
Deep,
I don't agree he hasn't made it. He was unfortunate to get injured. He shouldn't have gone to Palace in the first place as they already had plenty of options in his place. The games he has played, he has impressed. He's too good for two more years in the Championship, especially considering he's 28.
He expressed a desire to play Premiership football, if he was available there will be more than a few Prem teams in for him.



27 Jul 2016 11:20:23
Alvinsmate I agrre with you totally. I don't mind having some players from overseas but, if we become a feeder team as you are suggesting, the players coming in won't bring the championship experience and knowledge.

I would like to see some proven championship players. For example I would like to see us challenge Norwich for McCormack.



27 Jul 2016 11:33:18
Totally agree Sbrek, As soon as Dicko got injured against Charlton I knew we were in trouble last season. Sako was more the icing on the cake in my opinion, but Dicko was more important. Remember all those 1-0 wins we had with Dicko nicking a goal for us. Sako and Dicko did play brilliantly together tho. Hopefully Shi/ Mendes will get us a decent striker (hopefully 2) to go with Mason and Dicko.



27 Jul 2016 11:40:13
I get that Deep Throat, but Fosun still seem to be taking Mendes's advice as gospel, trusting him as a 'very good friend'. I just suspect if Mendes was Sako's agent, he'd be bobs on to come back, but because he's not, I doubt he'll even get considered. We shall see though, not being negative, just observing that Fosun are maybe a bit out of their depth trusting people. But if so they'll learn which hopefully means whatever, it will come right in the end :-)



27 Jul 2016 12:23:55
Fosun actually own a minority share in Mendes' agency, he definitely dosen't work for Fosun. Whatever he makes Fosun get a part of, it's that simple. It's a win-win situation for both parties.



27 Jul 2016 12:46:05
I'm pretty sure Mendes is simply recommending us realistic targets at the moment, specifically ones that won't cost a whole lot and can fill in where we are lacking. I don't think he's trying to secretly mug us off with some dodgy signings, these are all very talented players that have signed for champions league teams fairly recently.

And for those calling for McCormack, do you really want to break our transfer record with the £12m signing of a striker that's only ever played in the championship? Yes, he could prove to be good in the premier league at some point as well but, don't you think if he was good enough, someone would've given him the opportunity by now? Also, if we did sign McCormack, think about how much the shirts are going to cost to get his name on the back haha.



27 Jul 2016 12:57:43
Pritchard needs be a top priority he a great player would compliment our team well also need that experiance that been missing be interesting see who we get for this - is van der vaart this guy not got pace but be cut above most in championship.



27 Jul 2016 13:19:40
I agree Mendes isn't trying to mug us off, I just mean I wonder if it's causing our searchlight for players to have a much more narrow beam, ie only looking at the players Mendes has on his books, rather than the larger football world.

I'd like Sako back, I just think it's much less likely with Mendes not being his agent than it would be if he was.

Thomas Lemar and Pelè are class players.
