AVB TO WOLVES?!?
ITK suggests that Fosun Group are in advanced talks with Portugese Manager André Villas-Boas to replace Kenny Jackett at Wolves before the start of the season.
More to follow.
29 Jul 2016 19:38:16
Great rumour.
I like.
29 Jul 2016 19:39:33
Nonsense.
29 Jul 2016 19:40:10
And talisca is coming to wolves?
29 Jul 2016 19:46:52
No to AVB - seems to leave clubs in a mess and his style would not suit getting out of Championship.
29 Jul 2016 20:00:35
There will be a big squad if AVB comes and a lot of rotating but worked for Spurs. Championship is totally different but it's up to Shi. It's definitely obvious that, whoever it is, they will be foreign.
29 Jul 2016 20:33:51
Unlikely
Villa bolas quote
"I will go back to my family in Portugal and mostly likely stop coaching for one year, this is a decision I have taken with my family and nothing will change it. "
29 Jul 2016 20:50:11
What would you say to leave Russia?
29 Jul 2016 21:05:54
Yes to AVB, if you don't want this type of manager where's your ambition. He was rotating his team for a reason and the press just blow it out of proportion (injuries, lots of quality players that feel they are first team not just squad - Spurs should have cleared some stick out for him and Chelsea were just impatient and too high expectations), he's an excellent young manager who would have us playing a solid style of football
It's a no brainier for me.
29 Jul 2016 21:22:55
Would rather keep jacket than AVB, he's done nothing but fail in this country. Clearly isn't cut out for the English game.
29 Jul 2016 21:34:17
Adam Reach signs for Wolves on season long loan. He's a right back.
29 Jul 2016 22:04:19
Looking through Facebook I've taken a few snipers from Taliscas page over the last 2 days. How do you post pictures? Ed?
{Ed033's Note - You use the Wolves Player Sightings Upload page
29 Jul 2016 22:04:11
AVB fails? What's JACKETT done? Some fans haven't a clue! Let's get Morgan back, keep JACKETT and keep the squad we've got? I'm sure some people have got a big L tattooed on their foreheads.
29 Jul 2016 22:07:22
^sorry left back (I'm drinking wine) .
29 Jul 2016 22:13:46
Yes to AVB.
KJ is obviously only a caretaker head coach and incapable of the transition to the PL.

29 Jul 2016 23:30:05
Kenny been sacked.
29 Jul 2016 23:51:40
Yep, he's gone - who's coming in to replace him then?
29 Jul 2016 23:56:19
Marco Silva please, not AVB - just don't think he'll suit the championship (be very happy to be proved wrong though)
30 Jul 2016 00:00:43
Mathmo - I don't think KJ is better than AVB or would have got the best out of the new players we seem to be signing, but comparing points/ game records of a guy who has managed Porto/ Chelsea/ Spurs versus a guy who has managed Swansea/ Millwall/ Wolves is not exactly a level playing field!
30 Jul 2016 00:03:45
Kenny gone and wavid adam reach is a winger u might get one right soon ;)
30 Jul 2016 00:27:50
Perhaps, Wavidsmith, you'd now like to revise your stated opinion that Kenny Jacket is calling the shots on any new signings?
30 Jul 2016 02:08:10
Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas' BARMY ARMY, Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas' BARMY ARMY.
Rolls of the tongue, it's meant to be.
30 Jul 2016 08:12:46
Not going to say a bad word about Kenny but his position was untenable.
Wish him well in the future. Should of gone Monday.
The clubs going to change behind all recognition but we have to move with the times and its exciting.
With the right guidance appointments and investment we get to the dizzy heights of fifties.
And who knows in a few years time
We could have half a billion chinese jumping up and down shouting woolvarampton wonderwus as we d××k the Albion 8-0 in the Premier League.
30 Jul 2016 08:39:09
Yes, I know he can convert to winger but Reach is predominant a left back. Therwell, Jackett and co have been after him for ages.
{Ed001's Note - Adam Reach is a winger mate, that was what he was brought through the Boro youth system as. He can play full back as well, but he himself always wanted to be a winger.}
30 Jul 2016 08:41:25
Kenny won't struggle to find work. He's a good manager and smashing bloke. Good luck fella, you did us proud in those first two seasons, mate.
30 Jul 2016 09:29:38
Will you stop raising the Adam Reach thing, I know all that 😂😂😂.
30 Jul 2016 09:59:14
I think spurs have now just about cleared out the dead wood that AVB bought in with the Gareth Bale money. AVB playing style would be easy for this squad to adapt to as its the same one Jacket has played since Christmas. Cesare Prandelli would be my choice.
30 Jul 2016 13:28:27
Yes sure as Eric L becomes a global star . On the wrong page mate.
30 Jul 2016 13:43:11
Kenny Jackett sacked

29 Jul 2016 18:19:42
Wolves want to bring in Joel Campbell from Arsenal; Ambitious.
29 Jul 2016 19:14:35
That's a load of rubbish pal.
29 Jul 2016 19:20:18
It's on Twitter transfer centre 9.
29 Jul 2016 19:36:55
I stand corrected mate it is on there.
29 Jul 2016 19:50:02
He's quality up front - not so great as a winger (given we need a striker though he'd be great in the Championship) .
Wages would be high though so FFP could make this 1 tricky.
29 Jul 2016 20:23:49
FFP is based over 3 years so a big push to get us up and then the greater revenue I don't think would be an issue.
29 Jul 2016 18:37:37
where did you get that one from lol?
29 Jul 2016 18:13:24
saw some people hanging around car pa earlier just where ticket office is. I saw one bloke who looked like dicko but a bit taller. I also saw a bloke who resembled mendes talk to the official photographer from Molineux. there was also a tall grey haired bloke there. only passing on what I saw.
29 Jul 2016 18:31:43
Stalking is a criminal offence gee wolf!
Keep up the good work.
29 Jul 2016 18:37:31
I saw that too mate was getting my tickets for Swansea was trying to see who it was ain't sure if they were important or not tho.
29 Jul 2016 18:45:24
Mendes with Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor? 😪😪😪.
29 Jul 2016 19:23:01
Paul T,
What do you mean by that?
29 Jul 2016 19:36:28
That is funny PT lol.
29 Jul 2016 19:39:33
Hahaha Paul.
29 Jul 2016 19:40:35
Deep Throat jokes no good if you got to explain it.
29 Jul 2016 19:45:28
I think you need to see someone about your addiction to posting on this site Paul. You say your not going to do it again, but you can't stop! Its always just one more hit isn't it? Apparently were linked with a return for stearman. I wonder what the reasons are?
29 Jul 2016 20:06:24
Jt someone must have seen Therwells list lol.
I can't see any English players coming in this window.
Would be good to see Bamford, Pritchard, and a CB from England though to creat a good spine.
29 Jul 2016 15:13:14
Costa just signed lads - Wolves twitter
29 Jul 2016 15:26:03
Now you feel like its happening!
29 Jul 2016 15:43:41
Also on Sky. (Costa)
Picture on twitter of Talisca arriving at B/ Ham airport with a story in the papers he was waiting for his work permit all day yesterday, it didn't arrive, so they said, "this morning for sure which would free him up to travel to England"
Picture of him at B/ Ham so it must have arrived.
Fosun today bought India Pharma for £1.2Billion, (biggest drug company in India)
They're shares will go through the roof and the bonuses will pay for all this activity at Wolves 100 times over.
Gareth Bale Monday?
29 Jul 2016 15:46:10
Sky'sports just confirmed Costa has signed silvio on loan for a year, but Pele unlikely. Silvio has to formalise his depareturn from benfica before signing on a permanent deal.
29 Jul 2016 15:56:28
Costa and Silvio sign on 1 year loan deals. Pele looks unlikly.
29 Jul 2016 15:56:28
Costa and Silvio sign on 1 year loan deals. Pele looks unlikly.
29 Jul 2016 16:02:32
It actually says they are trying to wrap up Silvio on a permanent deal.
29 Jul 2016 16:20:31
Also says that the training ground has now been closed. Does this mean there will be a closed door medical about to take place. Fingers crossed we will hear soon.
29 Jul 2016 16:36:26
Big Jeff doesn't want things leaked!
29 Jul 2016 17:06:52
Costa - has signed 1 year loan
Pele - I think it might be mutual after talks that he looks somewhere else (probably trying to get too much wages)
Silvio - signing permanent deal just finalising departure with A. Madrid but was at Compton with Costa training (pics on Twitter, search - wolves_update, this is why training closed to the public because of pics being leaked on this account)
Talisica - will be signing today now he got clearance and will be announced more than likely tomorrow.
29 Jul 2016 17:31:28
The picture of Talisca at brum airport was from last year when benfica used st Georges.
29 Jul 2016 17:32:52
Fee reported for Silvio is £4.5 million by the weekend the £30 mil will have been spent! I don't see many people moaning about only spending a small amount now.
29 Jul 2016 18:17:38
We need a couple of midfielders now and a left back a cb and another forward.
29 Jul 2016 19:05:47
Not sure about your comment on share price Stu as the price fell today and is also lower than when they acquired WWFC. Perhaps we should all buy some?
29 Jul 2016 20:16:53
What has happened to the Alex Pritchard rumour. Now that is one I would like to see get over the line. Maybe would do if AVB rumour comes to fruition.
29 Jul 2016 20:51:06
MikeBBB
I know absolutely Zilch about shares, but they ate already China Pharma, can't see them now losing ground in he future. Also if it happened today as reported the Chinese SE would be closed.
As I say matey, I know nuffing, but that extra £1.2 Billion acquisition must elevate us to just below M City in the rich bugga stakes.
29 Jul 2016 21:01:23
If Talisca is half as good as Talisker whiskey let's get him, but let's all be honest, none of us know anything about these players being touted. I hope they are good but we don't know do we, we live in hope and dreams, some work out and some dont.
29 Jul 2016 18:31:31
Pompeywolf,
Compton has been closed to fans until further notice due to someone leaking a photo of Silvio to the media .
so thanks to one stupid moron we all have to suffer!
29 Jul 2016 15:09:59
Sportswitness claims Wolves about to break championship record fee for Talisca, the only thing holding it up was work permit. Expected to fly to the uk today, unveiled at the weekend.
goo.gl/3NXK4L
29 Jul 2016 14:58:24
Benfica star Talisca is expected to fly to England this Friday with negotiations with Wolverhampton reportedly reaching the final stages.
According to the Portuguese press, Benfica representatives (Record says Luís Filipe Vieira, O Jogo says Jorge Mendes) were in England this Thursday to seal the transfer. Wolves will pay €25m for the midfielder.
O Jogo say that Wolverhampton's intention is to make an official presentation this weekend after the player already started following the club's account on Twitter.
However, there's only one small detail stopping the deal from happening which is his work permit. Record claim Talisca spent the whole of Thursday waiting for this to get sorted, but this never came through.
Despite this delay for his work permit, the South American was informed this could only be be done this morning, and subsequently this would enable him fly to the UK.

Ay that pele behind, were the onds bin put on.
29 Jul 2016 14:48:52
Nothing on sky news.
29 Jul 2016 18:13:10
Well done to the tits who took the pictures ruined it all for us.
29 Jul 2016 20:53:55
Wolvesking.
The tits at Molineux that were saying nothing were killing us not spoiling it. So you can actually smell the relief on all blog sites now, if it hadn't been us (if it was) it would have been the E&S in 4 Months time.
29 Jul 2016 13:32:37
Just past molineux there looks like about 8-10 black vehicles with chauffeurs.
29 Jul 2016 13:53:26
Are they stretch limos, if so they are there to probably carry away Moxey's huge torso and his entourage of pastries?
29 Jul 2016 13:56:31
So easy 2 take a pic?
29 Jul 2016 14:06:55
Not while your driving. all vauxhalls cavaliers.
29 Jul 2016 14:39:58
Vauxhall Cavalier? You sure?
29 Jul 2016 13:18:27
Birmingham Mail is claiming we have had three bids turned down for Ben Marshall by Blackburn and that KJ is involved.
29 Jul 2016 13:00:35
Silvio and Costa have been photographed in training at Compton. Its on facebook.
29 Jul 2016 13:19:45
Which facebook page? Just looked at Wolves official and can't find anything on there.
29 Jul 2016 13:21:56
Who's Facebook just had a look at the Wolves and couldn't see them?
29 Jul 2016 13:22:09
Which Facebook page?
29 Jul 2016 13:23:32
Do you have the link please?
29 Jul 2016 13:43:33
I have seen a photo on facebook, hard for me to tell who it is.
It's here. Click for larger image
29 Jul 2016 13:43:58
It's on Wolverhampton Wanderers News and Chat page. I've had the same image sent to me as well.
29 Jul 2016 13:44:23
Wolverhampton wanderers news and chat group. Join it its on the feed.
29 Jul 2016 13:46:29
Search Wolves_updated on twitter. both on there and the one of Helder Costa looks a lot like pele behind him as well. Could we have well been right about not wanting to make an announcement until they'd completed deals for 5 players, Maybe Talisca (we hope) Would be a way of making a huge statement of intent by Jeff and Fosun!
29 Jul 2016 14:02:42
You see one picture and it seems like a weight has been lifted!
Breathing again.
29 Jul 2016 12:21:53
According to reports wolves might be trying to sign stearman, hope not he's worse than Batth.
29 Jul 2016 12:38:09
I heard this on sky this morning us and Derby apparently.
29 Jul 2016 12:51:28
This is like waiting for paint to dry.
29 Jul 2016 10:18:19
Former Olympiakos manager Marco Silva looking likely to be installed in next week or so.
29 Jul 2016 10:30:36
Hope so, need management change ASAP!
29 Jul 2016 10:46:07
Where you got that from Banbury?
29 Jul 2016 11:20:25
Don't believe he is YET. If they wanted him in the position they would have sacked KJ and put the assistant in for a couple of weeks. May be he's on the back burner for a month or so to see how KJ does.
29 Jul 2016 11:26:08
Had a look at this guys stats and he seems a really good shout. He set the league record winning his first 11 games in charge of Olympiakos be beating Arsenal in the champions league. If he did come it is definitely a long term project. Let's hope some of the players we are reading about are just agents talking up their clients.
29 Jul 2016 11:44:34
Hopefully if Marco Silva is bein lined up Mendes and Big Jeff are talkin to him over transfers, as their definitely not talkin to Thellwell and JACKETT 😂😂😂.
29 Jul 2016 12:19:27
We get linked to every man and his dog with regards to managers and players and nothing happens. We are like a snail in the transfer market and everything else hence why we missed out on Lopetegui or however you spell it. The fact that the takeover was completed Monday and we have no signings signifies we aren't going to compete for promotion this season. Frustrating.
29 Jul 2016 12:22:07
Silvio training today pic been leaked, Costa might be the other bloke but he's got his back to the pic.
29 Jul 2016 12:24:28
Has anyone else seen the pic of Silvio training yesterday?
29 Jul 2016 12:37:18
Where's the pic?
29 Jul 2016 12:49:41
can you please stop calling him 'big jeff'? The man's barely 5ft and as thin as a rake.
29 Jul 2016 13:23:18
There was a pic on Twitter earlier of the pair training.
29 Jul 2016 13:25:26
Yeah but he is the big man, he's got the cash and calling the shots. Also its ironic because like you say he's actually small, so its funny. I bet he'd like being called big Jeff anyway.
29 Jul 2016 13:28:29
That's the reason I call him Big Jeff! And he is Big compared to someone 4ft tall. Get over it, i'll call him Big Jeff! It's my pet name for him!
29 Jul 2016 13:13:33
I have seen a photo on facebook, hard for me to tell who it is.
It's here. Click for larger image
29 Jul 2016 14:28:14
The tattoos are the players arms on this photo and the other one look identical to ones on players profile etc.
29 Jul 2016 15:20:10
Looking at the original list, it included I Cavaleiro (12.5m) and someone called Carvalho: I've got a feeling that this was Carvalho Silva, a holding midfielder rated at another £10 million.
I fully expect Big Jeff and Sky Sunny Boy to be finalising these two next week, along with Tulisca when the squad should really be taking shape.
29 Jul 2016 16:09:37
2016 The Chinese year of BIG JEFF 🈲🈵🈚️🈳🈶⚽️⚽️⚽️☺️☺️☺️😎㊙️㊙️🏆🏯💰💰💰🆒🇨🇳🍻.

Lol😂😂😂.
29 jul 2016 10:04:57
ssn reporting derby + Wolverhampton Wanderers are trying to buy stearman, happy days. any one know why kj is very quiet this week or has he gone?
piri piri arrived at the the mol, kj thought it was a new signing but was jez's lunch.
29 Jul 2016 10:35:58
We need ambitions higher than Stearman!
29 Jul 2016 10:39:55
Who is buying stearman?
29 Jul 2016 11:00:57
So he wants Stearman, yet totally overlooks Sako. Yes, that makes sense.
29 Jul 2016 11:09:22
Apparently we're competing with Norwich to try and sign McCormack (if yet another rumour is to be believed) . Wouldn't Moxey just be able to completely mug us off over the deal?
29 Jul 2016 10:52:17
I hope that's not true he was awful and didn't do much to inspire Fulham. We need to move forward not backwards.
29 Jul 2016 12:09:23
McCormack would be a class signing - Wanderer77 - he netted 23 times last season for Fulham so I don't understand your comment. I can't see him coming to Wolves though, shame.
29 Jul 2016 12:13:00
Wanderer77 - if you are referring to Stearman I agree completely! :)
29 Jul 2016 13:37:07
Sevlow. Yes I was obviously referring to Stearman I think there was time lag in between the Mcormack link being posted. I am a big fan of Mcormack btw what an addition if he were to sign!
29 Jul 2016 16:06:25
Yeh Wanderer77 - I'm old and got confused! :)
29 Jul 2016 00:09:00
Regarding Sako rejoining, I believe his kids are still schooling local to wolves, so I reckon that's a good reason to rejoin us.
29 Jul 2016 01:17:14
I hope so because in the championship we have really missed him also we need a pacey winger with power like sako.
29 Jul 2016 07:39:12
Sako, yeah.
29 Jul 2016 08:33:33
Or Alan Judge.
29 Jul 2016 08:38:42
Pele considering other options apparently. this is holding up the triple deal according to E&S.
29 Jul 2016 08:52:52
We don't need him if he isn't committed, let's look at other targets before they get snapped up too. Pritchard and Bridcutt would be great in the middle with Charlie Taylor at Left back and Duffy in the middle of the defence. WOuldn't mind seeing Crouch up front winning flick ons for Dicko.
29 Jul 2016 08:53:52
If he's got any doubts let's move on without him.
29 Jul 2016 08:54:17
So we have to sign all 3 or nothing? Strange!
29 Jul 2016 09:56:38
Wolves enquiring about Richard stearmen according to sky.
29 Jul 2016 10:13:24
Approx 20 mill on talisca 👍
re-buy stearman. 👎🏻
. we need to be buying better players than Stears .
29 Jul 2016 10:34:33
Sorry not a Duffy fan.
29 Jul 2016 11:02:45
Duffy, Stearman and Forshaw. All bargain bucket players that shouldn't even be mentioned. What the hell is Jackett doing?
29 Jul 2016 11:12:09
Would be good again singing the sako/ dicko song!
29 Jul 2016 11:17:19
I think there's better players out there than sako.
29 Jul 2016 11:34:54
There are definitely players out there who are better than Stearman.
29 Jul 2016 11:51:39
Let's move forward wolves fans we don't want the same players back sako as not cut it in premier stearman done nothing at Fulham and remember Kenny saying I am happy with back four at the time and said he could let stearman go so I wouldn't think he would bring him back were do they get these stories from.
29 Jul 2016 13:03:37
I'm half expecting a massive £5 million Chris Wood bid coming.
29 Jul 2016 15:03:32
Wavidsmith - from your posts you seem to think it is KJ who is dealing with the transfers. Sorry to disappoint you and undermine your campaign against him but he has nothing if anything to do with transfers. They're dealt with by KT and JM.
28 Jul 2016 23:21:45
Just heard from my cousin TD that we are going to sign 2 players tomorrow if they pass their medicals. Can confirm they are Alex Pritchard and James Wilson. £15 million for the pair.
29 Jul 2016 00:18:00
Sounds good.
29 Jul 2016 00:26:53
Is this just a guess.
29 Jul 2016 00:44:09
Tony Daley?
29 Jul 2016 04:56:27
The Dishwasher?
29 Jul 2016 05:59:32
Not sure about Wilson looking at his goals ratio when on loan to Brighton last season 5 in 27.
29 Jul 2016 07:42:06
living in brighton I go to the amex occasionally with mates and have got to say james wilson is not what we need - we need someone tall and strong to slot dicko through, wilson massively overrated.
29 Jul 2016 08:34:57
I agree Southernwolves - a number 9 that plays similar to Giroud for Arsenal would be ideal that can hold the ball up win headers, good control and passing with a good left foot, f it let's just put a bid in for him!
29 Jul 2016 08:36:59
Do we all believe it's Pele that's holding up these 3 players signing? I don't. I bet they want to announce something saft like 10 new players lol.
29 Jul 2016 08:47:00
I agree about Wilson, he's a very overrated player and is only seen as anything different because he's from the Man Utd academy. You need interchangeable players around Dicko like Sako, John, Cavaleiro and Tulisca (who can all swop roles) , but this is Kenny Jackett we're talking about so anything could happen.
29 Jul 2016 09:35:57
Yes, I saw that on the NEWSNOW site at 7.27.
29 Jul 2016 09:37:55
Tall and strong. Chris Martin fits that criteria.
