30 Jun 2024 16:14:26

30 Jun 2024 18:03:50
Medicals tomorrow apparently.

Thanks old wulf

Jørgen Strand Larsen to Wolves, here we go! Deal in place, verbal agreement also on personal terms.

Long term deal agreed after the €30m package agreed with Celta Vigo revealed earlier this week.

Jørgen Strand Larsen will complete medical and sign next week.

I told you all it was done.

28 Jun 2024 22:44:52
3m loan deal with 27m option to buy which will go into next year's accounts. Hopefully this sort of deal helps increase the squad size and reduce sales of players we wish to keep.

28 Jun 2024 23:01:10
We did

29 Jun 2024 06:57:43
Any idea of number of games required for the option?

29 Jun 2024 06:58:07
Nice, sounds like a good deal (in terms of the payments).

TY for the update Rated RKO.

29 Jun 2024 12:28:48
Anyone know if lLiverpool have robbed wolves of Alvin Ayman yet or are we persuading him to stay with the good guys?

29 Jun 2024 14:03:35
Didn't Alvin Ayman go with the team to the Luton game

27 Jun 2024 11:57:40
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Ramano Wolves have put a bid of 40mill euros for certain Vigo striker Jorgen Strand Larsen and talks are advancing very fast and the player is all for the move.

27 Jun 2024 12:32:29
According to Norwegian media deal done. Congratulations.

27 Jun 2024 13:08:57
Skrekken I think their jumping the gun he's not had a medical yet.

27 Jun 2024 13:53:25
Terms are agreed he is due to fly in for a medical soon.

27 Jun 2024 14:23:46
Big tall Norwegian forward. Probably won't make it in Premier League.

27 Jun 2024 14:37:00
Rated RKO do we know how much because different reports say 40 mill 30 mill.

27 Jun 2024 15:14:49
If this move happens, we'd be in a much healthier position squad wise. Larsen seems to have good positional sense. This will allow Cunha freedom to play in a Peter Beardsley type role.

27 Jun 2024 15:39:48
Wolves aren't hanging around!

27 Jun 2024 15:44:28
Sky are saying 'around £25m' not that they are always especially reliable on such things mind 🧐

27 Jun 2024 16:09:17
25 is the number coming up in the local press. Could be correct. Am I excited about this one?

27 Jun 2024 18:40:04
Should we be excited? Wolves do seem to their homework regarding player purchases theae days and I expect Hobbs and co have run the rule over him for quite a while so yes let's get excited.

27 Jun 2024 19:12:21
Statistically he looks ok circa 1 in 4 goals and a handful of assists. Say 12/13 contributions per season. Although I gather he rarely plays the full 90 mins and indeed often is not starting? 
A strange situation given that when he actually gets on the pitch his stats are clearly much better at circa 19 contributions per season?
Any ideas why he plays so few minutes despite his output?  Not a superstar,   (he wouldn't be signing for Wolvesif he was), but quite young and seems to have the physical attributes we are looking for. Obviously I will reserve judgement until I have seen him play - can he run?  Price looks ok ish but if we buy him we will have spent circa 50m on 4 players.
Totally understand why we aren't talking about our finances but clearly I'm scared that this means we are just about to do something very stupid like sell one of Neto, Gomes, RAN or Cunha for £40-50m.
I would like us to come out and say our stars are not for sale and that we are building the football club to win but in a financially sustainable way,  i.e. we are a well run club! Is that too much to ask?
If however we have to make a sale rather than sell any of of the 5 irreplaceable top 4 quality players we have I would love to see the oft quoted rumour of Sa going to Saudi for £40m be fulfilled and be replaced by the guy from Liverpool for the rumoured circa £15m or Kilman go for a similar if not slightly higher amount and us replace him with a slightly younger Dawson clone - (not sure who mind!) - but definitely a battle hardened Premier league veteran! 
Finally in response to some very optimistic earlier posts, I don't see the bomb squad and the assorted kids, including those out on loan elsewhere last year, raising much if anything. Indeed at this stage you might have to pay to get Fabio off the books and Guedes will be hard to shift given his attitude and wages.
Sorry!

27 Jun 2024 19:23:18
30million Euros info i've seen so around £25million.

27 Jun 2024 20:49:52
Jes.tfg.u hav way tooooo much time on your hands.remember harvad flo.another no rater.if this is right wev just bought3 players nobodys ever heard of and untried at anywer near prem level and how much say has gon had in this.so the story goes.lets go and buy a load of crap first for 50mil so then we can sell all our best for next to nothing aswell and make a profit.

27 Jun 2024 23:13:29
Bux the info on the new player can be gleaned from the first two articles you get on "google" on him - doesn't take long.
Your underlying point however is correct - we have bought, (will have bought if this chap arrives), 4 players for £50m none of whom will be first choices unless something disasterous happens like we sell one of the better players in the first 11.
But we have an excellent first 11 already (maybe a bit weak at CB, all 3 of then for different reasons and left sided forward, Hwang other than his goal scoring - although given the aim of the game that is pretty important - isn't a good enough footballer), but we had no squad depth.
These youngish players are therefore being bought to boost the squad depth and for the future.
It is not what I would be doing.
I'd be buying/signing battle hardened Prem vets including 2 or 3 who play CB and left sided forward. They would probably be quite a bit older and maybe on higher wages but they would come with an element of a gtee of competence.
Low risk but lower reward especially in the future than maybe these punts carry?
I have also stated several times that I agree with you about the risk of selling the better players - no matter whow many zirconium you have it never matches a diamond - to fund these deals!
That would be truly stupid!
But let's be honest Hobbs has been brilliant (not stupid) over the last year. Recent signings Gomes, Cunha and Lemina are now 3 of our top 5 players.
Consequently I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe these 3 ( 4 includng Doyle) like his previous signings are going to be somewhat better than Jeffs boys Guedes, Trincao, Fabio and Hoever etc etc
Appreciate your response however!

28 Jun 2024 02:32:10
How many of us had heard of j.Gomes, Jota, Alt Nori, Neves and Neto before we bought them?
Just because a player isn't known to us it doesn't mean they won't be decent.

28 Jun 2024 08:59:08
This Strand Larsen is big strong, has good skills and movement and looks good with his head - isn't that what we have been crying out for. Also the reason most Wolves fans have never heard of these players till we are linked is because they are only interested in Wolves and our own league and there's nothing wrong with that. Personally I'd heard of all of them prior to us being linked but then I do follow football and reports from other countries/leagues because I'm a football fan not just a Wolves fan.

28 Jun 2024 10:43:56
Very talented player. Highly regarded in Norway. The reason his not our main striker is Håland. Could be a masterstroke from Hobbs when you look at how well Håland has adapted in Premier League. Very similar player.

28 Jun 2024 12:26:09
Maybe Bux wants us to buy Denis Law and Alan Durban.Well into their 80's but he's possibly heard of them.Meanwhile, I think young and hungry is the way to go for attacking players but I'd seek more experience in central defence and between the sticks.

22 Jun 2024 18:05:05
According to rumours NC have put a bid on for Kilman 25mill plus Elliot Anderson which wolves turned down. If we sell Kilman 40 mill no less then invest at least 1 or 2 strikers plus a CH I will be happy.

22 Jun 2024 20:20:43
Hopefully Wolves stick to their guns with all of the players. If the other club don't meet the asking price, tell them to jog on.

22 Jun 2024 20:52:52
It needs to be remembered and factored in that Maidenhead have a hefty share in any profit made, 15-20% apparently.

23 Jun 2024 09:02:27
Apparently Newcastle also enquired about Neto

24 Jun 2024 17:47:24
Cash plus Callum Wilson. Would that be something we should entertain?

20 Jun 2024 18:14:08
Wolves are expected not to take up the option to buy Noha Lemina, the Express and Star understands.

20 Jun 2024 23:43:45
Which with one year left on his bros contract does (worryingly) add weight to the rumours that Mario's off. I really will be fuming if we lose another midfield lynch pin, on the cheap because of poor contract management! 😭

21 Jun 2024 03:41:07
dont trust jeff shi foson one inch now

21 Jun 2024 06:01:49
But Noah Lemina wasn't very good.

21 Jun 2024 11:02:24
If nothing else he has been able to be with his older brother following a family bereavement which was no bad thing. Good luck to the lad.

21 Jun 2024 14:18:58
Very well said Derry, it's a good point well made. Bigger things in life than footy 👍
Still hope Mario's stays mind 😂👍
