Wolves in for rhodes I repeat wolves in for rhodes just give em 12m Jeff.

01 Sep 2016 01:33:35
Don't think they are mate.

01 Sep 2016 07:36:51
Another load of rubbish from those claiming to be ITK.

01 Sep 2016 09:46:02
ITK posters.

What happened to Peter Crouch? He was supposed to be signing for us yesterday.

For the life of me I can't remember a single GENUINE prediction by the ITKs. Yes, plenty of stuff but only after it went pubic on other sites. In other words, pretence.

01 Sep 2016 10:47:05
Just because they don't sign with Wolves doesn't meen players like Peter Crouch don't visit Molineux or Compton at some point. Hundreds of famous footballers and their agents visit our training ground during the window. The problem is people automatically saying 'they've signed' just on the basis they've been seen around Wolves.

01 Sep 2016 11:23:11

The ITKs will have a field day after every home match. Lots of footballers will be seen around Molineux when they play against us!

01 Sep 2016 11:42:31
I told you Butti when everyone thought he was Mendes!

01 Sep 2016 11:50:58
What bunkum Wavidsmith. Compton isn't a tourist attraction!

01 Sep 2016 12:59:34
I've noticed that you lot can be very harsh on those who say they've seen helicopters collecting/ dropping off players, or on those who report on seeing player's cars go to and from Compton, but please remember that there is usually credance for these stories before slagging them off.

01 Sep 2016 13:16:49
Isnt this ite called Wolves Rumours?

All this slagging off is uncalled for, the definition of a rumour is.

a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth.

synonyms: gossip, hearsay, talk, tittle-tattle;

{Ed001's Note - the problem is some people are just making up bull. That is not spreading rumours, it is lying.}

01 Sep 2016 13:23:37
How do you know?

{Ed001's Note - seriously? Have you not read the crap on here from morons trying to be funny? This site isn't intended for that, it is meant to be a place people can ask about the rumours they have heard and see if other people have heard them and if they have more info to either corrobate or dispel the rumour.}

01 Sep 2016 13:31:00
My view is that this page is for people to speculate and for REAL ITK people to start Wolves fans talking. I can sit here and say I think we should sign Martin or whoever, but I wouldn't come out with I've saw him in the Darlaston Asda in Wolves flip flops so he must have had a medical and will sign! Don't see the point in pretending to be ITK.

01 Sep 2016 13:53:05
StuuCorbett,

Couldn't agree more with you and Mr Ed. We should be able to discuss genuine rumours to see how true they are. The fake/ made up ones just devalue the genuine article and eventually lead to disappointment for many fans.

01 Sep 2016 14:57:39
Does anyone think that if Bristol city had offered 5mill for mason a couple of weeks ago that wol would have accepted the bid only because it was 2 late 2 sign another striker.

01 Sep 2016 14:18:42
Ed - aren't posts reviewed by editorial, before they are posted? Sadly, some of the idiotic posters, just make the site a bit of a laughing stock at times. Guy in the tree, and let's not forget the idiot with 2 names who you called out a couple of weeks back and has subsequently crawled back under the rock he came from. Generally I find this site full of decent banter, humour and good camaraderie. But the idiots do damage its credibility at times.

{Ed001's Note - yes but not all editors are here to do any thing other than filter out foul language and stop fights and bickering.}

01 Sep 2016 15:31:24
I agree that the best posts are from those that claim to work close to the club but the problem is that they are also usually wrong!

01 Sep 2016 15:51:18
I don't live anywhere near Wolverhampton so if I say anything about sightings, at least you will know I'm lying.

01 Sep 2016 16:16:55
How about Sol Bamba on a free now he has been released from Leeds?

01 Sep 2016 16:32:53
Pompey have you seen the free agent 11 on Sky Sports there's a couple of cracking free agents especially in defence. Could be worth a punt and being free agents we could sign at anytime.

01 Sep 2016 17:53:10
Name them please Darbo.

01 Sep 2016 18:06:01
Flamini, Mexes, Alex and Caceres are all cracking freebie's that could still do a good job for Wolves in midfield or defence. I'd definitely try Alex or Caceres at CH.

01 Sep 2016 18:14:45
My thoughts exactly Wavid some good CH for this season. We were in for Lusciao so why not these 2 depending on wether they can stay fit. Old Wulf what do you think?

01 Sep 2016 18:43:48
The other option is to offer Luisao that contract and sign him up on a freebie. There are lots of options at CH if the club still want to plug that gap at the back.

01 Sep 2016 19:51:56
This sounds very interesting guys I didn't know about this list.
However I have a theory that Starman is a stop gap as they have a targets in mind, I think it also depends on how successful we are this season.

01 Sep 2016 21:14:06
Well Darbo, both would do for me but I imagine they'll both have plenty of suitors. China may well be a potential detonation for them however as that is where the money is for players approaching their career end.

01 Sep 2016 21:20:03
Ronaldo just landed in helicopter at Patshull but he maybe just golfing or fishing 🌴.

02 Sep 2016 00:09:50
Caceres has a ruptured achiles tendon so that's him out.

02 Sep 2016 01:21:07
Emmanuel Adebayor anyone?

02 Sep 2016 06:57:32
Are you serious?
Even ex Pros on Sky were critical as they put it, one name crops up every transfer window . Adebayor
Why is that? Again as they put it he is an under achiever and known to be a disruptive influence in the dressing room. Enough said.

02 Sep 2016 17:34:03
This is genius. The transfer window has shut, no loan window anymore, after the take over then manager drama, we've bought so many interesting unusual players we've become addicted to stuff happening and the excitement of it all. But now it's international break and there's no Moxey to complain about anymore, we need more action!

Hurray for free agents :-P I think we should sign 5.

31 Aug 2016 21:09:44
Bristol city offer£5million for joe mason rejected.

31 Aug 2016 21:37:40
Seen a tweet of us linked with foriestieri.

31 Aug 2016 21:48:17
Na no more movement now probably get a loan or two when the window opens knowing us.

31 Aug 2016 21:58:06
No loan window this year.

31 Aug 2016 21:58:38
I think that's it only the outgoings happening now. What a last few months!

31 Aug 2016 21:59:54
no loan window this year sid.

31 Aug 2016 21:59:56
There is no loan window now.

31 Aug 2016 22:01:53
No loan window this year. Hoping on a striker between now and the deadline. Come on you Wolves.

31 Aug 2016 22:06:01
Henry gone to Bolton.

31 Aug 2016 22:06:40
Sidney - there is no loan window now until the transfer window re-opens in January.

31 Aug 2016 22:15:29
Ooo sorry didn't know that but just been reading on twitter but don't know how true it is but come from numourous people that we are 1 of 4 teams in for rhodes and the other rumour was that we are in for assombalonga for a club record fee just passing it on don't know how true.

31 Aug 2016 22:18:05
And another one saying about a late move for jordan mutch.

31 Aug 2016 22:26:55
Well chaps that as they say seems to be that. Now we have to get behind WIZ and the team and push them on to the top. Certainly we have aquired lots of players, many I'm not familiar with. let's hope they do the business and encourage them to do the business. 😀😀.

31 Aug 2016 15:55:21
Cavaleiro has signed on a 5 year deal. Fantastic capture and ambition shown.

31 Aug 2016 15:58:23
With an option for a further year.

31 Aug 2016 16:03:23
Woohoo, he's signed! And that probably concludes a very satisfactory August in the transfer market!

31 Aug 2016 16:11:31
Wolves favourites for Jack Wilshire according to the Telegraph. What a signing that would be.

31 Aug 2016 16:13:14
Sorry, slightly decieving that report. Wolves are 33/ 1 to sign Jack Wilshire.

31 Aug 2016 16:17:59
Amazing, to attract a player of proven quality that cost a top team like Monaco £13m 1 year ago is going to open other players eyes and ears and will make us look more attractive.

Now we have a good squad of players at least until the next window these players need to play their best because the Prem is where we want to be next season, I think we are good enough now but we still need one more CB or Williamson to return so we can stop leaking stupid soft goals.

31 Aug 2016 19:08:58
Pre dicktive text. My last message was supposed to say gannicus! I'm sure IV will be good for us. Truth be known I never seen him play, so wish him well. We need goals and we haven't got them. It was critical we did. What can I say. All the teams that have gone up have had just that. Quality strikers. We need 20 a season strikers. 😀.

31 Aug 2016 19:33:09
Sbrek could not agree more a great signing and good ambition.

31 Aug 2016 15:55:11
Cavaleiro signed apparently 7M let's hope he can do the business!

31 Aug 2016 19:34:26
Signing cavaleiro has smashed our transfer record 7mill I thought we paid 7mill for fletcher must b add ons that take it over 7mill for cavaleiro a real bargain.

31 Aug 2016 15:02:03
Dom Dwyer, striker, from Sporting Kansas City is on his way, fee around £9 mil + add ons.

31 Aug 2016 15:18:54
"Training in the rain" from his Twitter account 25 mins ago, so it's unlikely.

31 Aug 2016 15:43:44
Is cavliero still signing.

31 Aug 2016 15:48:00
Ivan Cavaleiro from Monaco now signed!, fee believed to be £7m.

31 Aug 2016 15:51:46
Wolves sign Ivan Cavaliero for £7m.

31 Aug 2016 15:52:17
Apparently Wolves have bid a massive £10m for Martin at the same time.

31 Aug 2016 15:57:09
Dom Dwyer on flight to England posted on Instagram.

31 Aug 2016 16:02:25
Dom Dwyer (9m) or Chris Martin (10m)? Next you will be telling me both! Come on, if you're going to spend that sort of money, bring a bloody defender in!

31 Aug 2016 16:09:24
Dom Dwyer fee is £1.25m. Nowhere near £9m BW. Never heard of him but has a fabulous goal scoring record.

31 Aug 2016 16:11:23
I've posted Dwyers Instagram in the sightings page here.

31 Aug 2016 16:20:32
That Dom Dwyer on a flight to England. 45mins ago.

31 Aug 2016 17:36:19
Let's get our hands on DD hmmmm tasty.

31 Aug 2016 18:15:48
Apart from the fact the aircraft behind him G-YMMS left Gatwick at midday going to San Jose. So unless he had already flown over this morning and has been at Compton since around 3pm looks like a hoax picture.

31 Aug 2016 13:50:13
Eel off to Sheffield utd bryne off to wigan.

31 Aug 2016 14:04:55
Yes, two done deals. EEL a loan and Byrne a permanent. Two fringe players away, which is good.

31 Aug 2016 12:22:10
Hearing that we expect Ivan cavaleiro and maybe Peter crouch on loan as Stoke are going to sign Wilfred bony.

31 Aug 2016 12:43:26
Crouchy is the one we need. Great target man great finisher scores goals everywhere he's played. Would be great signing.
Still think we need another CB though.
What about Wed brown. Available on a free.

31 Aug 2016 12:58:00
we have signed a CB Stearman, that's it for defence.

31 Aug 2016 13:06:37
Conceivably we could lose both Iorfa and Hause if it's true that West Ham are interested in 3 centre backs. Iorfa and Richards have been identified, but the other is unclear (prob Hause) . If this does happen, I hope the club have another replacement lined up as only EEL, Batth and Stearman hardly fills one with confidence.

31 Aug 2016 13:07:31
I thought you can only have 5 loan players?

31 Aug 2016 13:30:04
U can have as many loans as u want, but no more than 5 can be named in the matchday squad.

31 Aug 2016 13:30:28
Derby, you can have more than five players on loan. But, you can only name a maximum of five on a team sheet- for each match.

31 Aug 2016 13:35:55
Nathan Byrne signed 4 Wigan charlton interested James Henry.

31 Aug 2016 13:44:59
Wilfred bony signed for Stoke on loan should pave the way for us to get crouch b gr8t signing also Sheffield Utd in talks with wol to Sign Ebanks landell on season long loan.

31 Aug 2016 13:48:22
Byrne won't be missed.

31 Aug 2016 13:51:09
Sky Sports News now reporting possibility of Iorfa on loan to West Ham with a view to a permanent deal, I for one hope this does not happen.

it's going to be a busy afternoon.

31 Aug 2016 10:30:07
Iorfa to West Ham on fox sports.

31 Aug 2016 11:28:45
It's only speculation not a fact!

31 Aug 2016 11:29:13
How definite is that? They've been tracking him for a few weeks now. Rumours they were offering £6m.

31 Aug 2016 11:32:35
If we let Iorfa leave I will be very disappointed and it will put a right dampener on the joy so far in the transfer window for a small little- and especially if we let him leave for a small little club like West Ham. Hoping he has got his head screwed on right and can see that Wolves are a bigger club and are going places and will surpass Hammers in the next year or two by some distance.

31 Aug 2016 11:43:02
Stuff on twitter suggesting a loan/ opt to buy move to WHU. They seem quite excited about it. Maybe the interest is why Iofra has been off his best lately. WHU fans noted that Stearman has joined us too, freeing up a defender.

I know we've been harsh on Iorfa the last few weeks. But he's held down his England u21 spot and has interest from the Premier.

31 Aug 2016 11:47:12
DAS I know you joking! West Ham have sold 52,000 season tickets!

31 Aug 2016 15:48:27
If it's a loan with an option to buy, they will soon send him back unless he can miraculously develop the positional sense that is clearly missing at the moment.

31 Aug 2016 08:27:39
it will be confirmed a double swoop for stearman and cavliero today personally I can't make my mind up with stearman he's good with the ball at his feet and our new signings may just bring the best out of him but yeah defensively is he better than what we already have?

31 Aug 2016 08:46:28
A worrying development for me. we only wanted to keep him as fans because by letting him go, we were stretched with cover. Even I couldn't blame Morgan taking the £2 million from Fulham!
Clearly not cut it at Fulham, so why would we want him back?

31 Aug 2016 09:06:39
Slightly different view on Stearman, we need an experienced CH, we have less than 24 hours to go, we already have 11 new players to bed in and they have to get used to the city the club the fans and the country. Stears (although not the best option) may be just what we need until January, someone who knows the division someone who knows the club and someone experienced and already has a relationship with the defenders at the club. Don't get me wrong i'd have preferred a new player but instead of panic buying, I see Stearman as a steady safe signing for now.

31 Aug 2016 09:23:32
At least Stearman needs no time to adapt. Straight in at CB!

I think Stears is a decent loan deal, and since we've missed out on Luisao, Boly, Mawson and Duffy a new CB will be top priority in January!

Apart from the mistake against Huddersfield, I think Batth has had a bright start to the season. Iorfa and Hause have been a lot more shaky and need to be dropped from the side imo.

Backline:

Doherty - Stearman - Batth - B-Jackson

Iorfa and Hause can fill in FB and CB positions if and when needed.

31 Aug 2016 09:28:08
No good moaning he's back.

31 Aug 2016 09:28:52
Sky sports news say Stearman signing on 1 year loan.

31 Aug 2016 09:34:48
Sky sports just confirmed stearman 1 year loan move. can't say I'm happy about this 1 we do need a exp centre half but I wanted it to be better than what we got. Not jus for our 1st team now but to help with players like iorfa n hause. Oh can any1 tell me where the calviero's actual position? Some reports say winger others say forward?

31 Aug 2016 09:45:34
So let’s get this right.

For years some fans were moaning Stearman wasn’t very good.

He then wins player of the year.

We sell him, leading to fans moaning at the club for selling one of our few experienced players who is a good defender in the Championship.

We then moan we need an experienced defender in the Championship, ideally someone who has been promoted.

We then get Stearman back to the club, an experienced defender in the Championship, who not only has been promoted, but actually promoted as a champion with Wolves.

And how do some fans respond. By moaning we need someone better.

I sometimes get the feeling that if we were signing a young Steve Bull these days, some fans would be moaning that he wouldn’t be any good because his first touch was terrible, ignoring the fact his second touch was in the back of the net.

31 Aug 2016 10:04:58
Well said Clive agree with everything
Can't wait for Wednesfields moaning later.

31 Aug 2016 10:05:45
Spot on clivewolves - it's laughable!

"How dare they sell Stears".

12 months later:

"How dare they sign Stears".

Personally I think it's quite a clever move in the short-medium term. Somebody who knows the club and the players - and who wants to play for the club.

Wolves fans are never happy!

31 Aug 2016 10:26:59
Its a very smart move getting Stears in for several reasons, many stated above. I expect there he was 3rd or 4th choice for CB and we are out of time on the window. This is a loan so if it does not work out well then he goes.

31 Aug 2016 10:59:17
Stearman

Unbelievable.

Looking forward to more running backwards away from the ball.

Not.

31 Aug 2016 11:32:21
Bang on Clive. Seems much more positive on twitter though and it's only people on here that seem to be unhappy about it.

31 Aug 2016 11:32:25
Hope he proves me wrong Bhamwolf.
Seems like a backward step to me!
(pun intended)

31 Aug 2016 11:54:30
We have quality not quantity on this site Just Smith.

31 Aug 2016 08:47:04
Its a upgrade to what we have darlo.

31 Aug 2016 15:56:24
Well Clive, the moans about selling were probably more to do with the poor quality potential replacements still at the club than his actual ability. Centre half has clearly been a major issue for a few years. How the club haven't addressed this in the new age is beyond me but, there again, maybe Mendez hasn't many central defenders on his books because they are not 'sexy'!
