07 Jan 2024 08:25:19
Sasa loan to franfurt confirmed then.
1.) 07 Jan 2024 12:58:45
With sasa and fabio gone, we must be close to geting a striker in. I know they hardly played but it was two bodies on the bench, in a small squad.
With players away and gomez missing 3 we need cover if we pick up a couple of injuries we could find it difficult to win games
2.) 07 Jan 2024 13:42:42
There must be someone lined up, otherwise SK wouldn't have been let go out on loan. But who is the question?
3.) 07 Jan 2024 14:09:26
Danny Ings
4.) 07 Jan 2024 17:07:12
Prefer Danny to Che Adams
5.) 07 Jan 2024 18:08:47
I think your right Jas, I reckon Ings will arrive in the next week or so. I have to be honest I really don't see the point in signing Ings. He's never going to be up to being long term cover cause he's just always injured, that's not going to improve as he gets older?! Personally I'd love to see us get that Boulaye Día lad who we've been in for last window. Looks like a great player with the kind of physical attributes needed to lead the line. Also looks like a few clubs are tracking him so maybe he's got more attractive options now? We need to start building this squad up, for me Ings doesn't especially help with that (long term) but time will tell ?
6.) 08 Jan 2024 10:25:43
Imagine if Ings is injured early days, would leave us paying big wages for no product. I'd steer clear and rely on Hobbs to find another young and hungry.
7.) 09 Jan 2024 13:43:09
Danny Ings not leaving now
8.) 09 Jan 2024 14:34:47
Rejoyce! I really don't think he was the solution to the problem.
9.) 09 Jan 2024 19:57:56
Personally I'd rather have Danny Ings and hope he doesn't get injured rather than have no striker at all.
10.) 09 Jan 2024 21:59:35
On his wages, Jas? Aren't we currently doing rather well with no striker at all? Summer is the real time for squad strengthening.
11.) 09 Jan 2024 22:30:01
Ings.!
Adams.!
Is costa still available if that's the best we can do.fgs.we need some1 with a bit of mobility.theyr dedlegs who don't suit our style atall.
12.) 09 Jan 2024 23:53:24
Old Wulf, if we can get him I'm on loan then that's ideal. He is a proven scorer at this level. I'm regards to his wages, if we are only contributing 50% of Silva, Sasa and Guedes wages whilst they are on loan, then this gives us capacity to pay 50% of Ings wages.
At the moment, we have let Sasa and Fabio, Hwang on International duty and Neto only just back from injury. That leaves Bellegarde and Cunha as our most attacking options unless we promoted Fraser and Gonzalez.
13.) 10 Jan 2024 11:40:07
Thing is Jas your argument of Ings is better than no one would be valid if it was 31st Jan. But it's not, if it's Ings or no one this early on (having already let two strikers go) then we have bigger problems than our strikers! I'm sure we have other irons in the fire, looks like it's academic anyway as I think injuries will make Ings unavailable anyway ?
14.) 10 Jan 2024 12:47:27
Buxwolf, not heard from you for a while. I've missed your little messages of joy.
31 Aug 2023 09:35:30
So it's £53m +10% sell on for nunes, and we're paying £4.5m for Doyle with 50% sell on. All round great deals.
1.) 31 Aug 2023 09:40:29
Abbeywolf good piece of business for Wolves don't need a player who doesn't want to be there and record transfer fee.
2.) 31 Aug 2023 10:05:29
I'm glad he's going i'll drive him to the Etihad myself.
3.) 31 Aug 2023 10:09:15
Congratulations to Hobbs.the boy done good!
From day 1, it has been clear Nunes was with us under duress and it was just a way in to the Premiership.
So now a win for him and good result for Wolves!
4.) 31 Aug 2023 10:44:49
I see the misfortune of KDB picking up a lengthy injury has made man City do the deal.
Fate eh?
5.) 31 Aug 2023 11:15:09
Do you think mathieus (he prefers to be called that apparently) will keep him out when he's fit again Phil? because in all honesty I don't think he'll keep up with cities tempo, unless we see him improve dramatically. Anyway he's gone we've made abit and we've got an exciting prospect in Doyle, ah he will.
6.) 31 Aug 2023 11:38:13
Glad to see the favourable comments above on this deal. Frankly, a few other fans could only see negativity yesterday, and I'm surprised at some of them. Obviously the Doyle option at £4.5mil is a gift to us. His real value must be about the Alex Scott level. My guess is that City wanted to save face after they threatened to walk away! In reality we have achieved our asking price for ungrateful Nunes because of the huge under-pricing of Doyle. Pity that some of us can't see that. I have to say well done to Hobbs. This may prove to be a good window. I guess the rumours about rumours that the club is for sale will now disappear.
7.) 31 Aug 2023 13:27:00
Todd Boehly pulled the plug on Diarra and Bellegarde deals.
8.) 31 Aug 2023 13:39:40
I don't see that Abbey KDB is the real deal.
Regarding hobbs yes agree but never mentioned its the club that has employed hobbs with the mandate set.
So imo our club should get some recognition too.
As our club our owners have been under extreme attack on these pages of late and lesser extent the last year or so.
As have always stated its results and performances that will change fans mindsets.
So hoping once transfer window is shut the emphasis on these pages is back predominately on the football our team play.
We going to have understandable blips in form like the majority of teams in the league but also I believe understandable good/excellent runs of form.
Of which will give fans the focus back we are a club in progression.
Onwards and upwards as others on their posts have stated.
FOREVER WOLVES ARE WE.
9.) 31 Aug 2023 14:51:41
Hi E can you shed light on your statement as a bit cryptic for me.
10.) 31 Aug 2023 15:27:37
Sorry but I don't see how this is agood deal losing nunes to city and pep who rates him and will obviously get the best out of him which we never did .doyle is a good deal but only if he proves to be upto the prem.wud pep let him go if he thut he was.and the nunes fee isa joke when palmer is going for a similar amount.we just saw a glimpse pf nines potential this ssn and now hav let him go.
11.) 31 Aug 2023 15:30:51
Perhaps E has changed allegiances MRV.
12.) 31 Aug 2023 16:13:50
Buxwolf, Super-sulk Nunes had downed tools and gone on strike. He would have ruined dressing room morale if he stayed. We should celebrate him going. He was never that interested for us last season anyway.
13.) 31 Aug 2023 17:05:02
Strasbourg are owned by Chelsea MRV
02 Nov 2022 09:38:57
Reported in telegraph today that loptigue (spell sorry) as come back to us this week and that we are working to sort out acceptable terms. Maybe we'll have an early Christmas presence?
1.) 02 Nov 2022 13:57:51
Christmas presence. It’s Jacob Marley’s ghost. Hahaha.
And people perhaps need to calm down on the Sellars and Shi hatred. It was clear to anyone with even a iota of intelligence that this was going to happen and that Julen only turned us down because of his Father’s health. And by us waiting it showed him that we clearly want him.
I think he will be announced in the coming week or two and will take over whilst the World Cup is on. Just a shame a chunk of our team will probably be in Qatar so he won’t be able to see the likes of Neves until after.
I also hope Steve gets some pats on the back. 4 points from 3 games really isn’t bad when you’ve never managed a team at senior level. Guy did better than Terry or Mick did.
2.) 02 Nov 2022 14:19:21
I feel like I have more than an iotas intelligence and I don't really understand this just being about his fathers health! Cause it just doesn't add up I'm afraid, well not unless something has drastically changed for him. His dad is 91 so even if he's improved not to sound harsh then that will only be a temporary situation. Also I would point out that this decision was as based on said health mere weeks ago?!
Then you say about us showing him we clearly wanted him, well how does that fit with our farily public approach for Beale just days after?! Not just a different manager but a manager at the complete opposite end of the experience spectrum no less!
Don't get me wrong I like your version of this, where the club was always entirely in control. The problem is that the timeline/reporting of this story doesn't support that notion in anyway at all?!
3.) 02 Nov 2022 14:36:06
He never did better than Mick and he has a team full of internationals where Mick might have had two or three.
15 Aug 2022 14:38:26
So the suggestion is Bruno wants to give neves 100k a week to keep away from man u. Arsenal etc. Hoever is out of favour with PSV and Ched Adams a possible recruit. Ramos says he dosnt want prem football this summer, and nunes not yet dead in water.
I think the only thing we can read out of that is that Hoever is not really committed to the game.
1.) 15 Aug 2022 16:27:35
Hi Abbeywolf,
It feels that this is a big week.
Mendes AND the boss (Guangchang) are both in town.
If they can't tempt Nunes, then that is that with him. However, I am sure there are others being discussed, so I now expect some signings.
Think it is telling that Shi and Sellars appear to be sidelined.
So hopefully some good news on that front as well!
2.) 15 Aug 2022 17:25:13
If that's correct Rugeley, that's got to be good news, whichever way you look at it. It could mean that serious transfers are afoot, I doubt its personnel changes.
To sign what we need Guo Guangchang would probably have to commit some additional funding from Fosun. Keeping Neves, upping his salary plus MGW staying will have altered the landscape and they won't risk another goal drought season, surely. Currently the Wolves/Fosun loan slate is clean. Accepting what Abbey says about Ramos its probably to sort Nunes and a striker, a good one.
Or it might just be that he was gagging for a pint of Bank's and some orange chips.
3.) 15 Aug 2022 17:20:03
Hoever needs selling, I was hoping he’d have a breakthrough season at PSV looks as bad of a deal as the Cutrone one.
I am told nunes deal is all but done with the player TRAVELLING TO ENGLAND to discuss terms (which he hasn’t yet done for anyone else) deadline was today to find one of the big 6 to sign him before he’d explore wolves proposal (we will find out how true this is by next week)
Nothing new on the striker front at the moment.
4.) 15 Aug 2022 18:54:02
It would seem the final problem with nunes is the 45+m sporting want. Ramos maybe playing for big 6 interest and still arrive if none are forthcoming. Personally I feel ched Adams story carries more weight. Looks like we maybe on the verge of being proved wrong on transfers and fosuns ongoing commitment, only time will tell.
5.) 15 Aug 2022 19:08:56
Neil Maupay anyone?
6.) 15 Aug 2022 20:00:18
Maupay is off to forest for 15m. I would of given him a go for that money. We don’t seem to buy proven Prem players though.
7.) 15 Aug 2022 20:38:04
Yes.we only buy Portuguese players ad a rule
31 Aug 2021 10:11:15
Sky saying spurs still interested in adama but we've put £50m tag on him. It'll be interesting right up to 11 tonight.
1.) 31 Aug 2021 11:02:57
Jeff is rightly playing hardball with Daniel Levy. £50mil paid up-front, for Traore, take it or leave it. No try-before-you-buy stuff.
2.) 31 Aug 2021 11:05:45
I’ve also seen a report suggesting a late bid by Spurs for Neves. I hope this doesn’t come to fruition.
{Ed002's Note - Ruben Neves (DM/CM) Wolves would look to get as close to €50M as they can should circumstances dictate Neves is sold, but they certainly don't want to sell and have made clear that he has a long-term contract and there have been no approaches at this time. Mr Mourinho is a huge fan and has tried to take him to three different clubs in the past - and he would, I am sure be interested in taking him to Roma but their focus right now iselsewhere. He has always been seen as an option to replace Matic at Manchester United, but they have other priorities to deal with first and preferred options - although they are not working out well so Wolves might see an offer. His agent has been actively offering him around and has spoken with Juventus who are looking to offload players but none that I would expect Wolves to be interested in. The Spurs coach would like him as an upgrade to Sissoko and Ndombele but it is likely both would need to leave as they are looking at another addition in midfield as well. Arsenal have preferred options but his agent is keen to have him move on so they cannot be discounted - although failing to sell Xhaka will likely take them out of the picture.}
3.) 31 Aug 2021 12:49:53
Wolves won't sell Neves with 3 years left on his contract.
{Ed077's Note - we will know for sure in a few hours I guess

Is it just me or has the 'magic' of the FA cup final gone. I've got no interest in watching it, (will most probably watch l2 play off then celtic rangers) . No interest in who wins it.
Just another game between two 'big' clubs and their divas. Roll on tomorrow's play off with some serious fans and competition.
1.) 25 May 2024 10:37:43
Sadly I agree with you 100% Abbeywolf. Some great memories of past finals and I can still recall details of the matches. Recently it’s totally lost its magic and as you say just another game between two big clubs.
2.) 25 May 2024 11:31:42
Yes, not really bothered about anything football related now other than transfers and who GON might be bringing in.
3.) 25 May 2024 12:03:20
It is the same as watching the Boat race for me, I have no interest in either.
4.) 25 May 2024 14:18:24
I'm going to watch the Scottish FA cup final be more passion in that.
15 May 2024 18:28:53
At last. We have tabled a proposal to scrap VAR which will be discussed on June 6th after being 'facillitated' by the prem shareholders board, who are against the proposal. It'll be an interesting debate I'm sure but I think we all know the outcome.
Interestingly the current vote on sky sports is 71% for the abolishment.
1.) 15 May 2024 19:27:50
Ask the fans
The only way I will renew
The fans must have the vote.
2.) 15 May 2024 23:09:36
For once Realist I couldn't agree more fella! Interesting poll on Sky for it, currently at 76% in favour of getting rid! I doubt it'll make a difference mind, the only thing that will is gates/viewing figures dropping until that happens they won't care what the fans take is on it!
Still though very proud that we are the ones putting it forward, at least in the years to come once the games gone beyond all enjoyment and recognition we can stand tall and say 'we tried to warn you'! Not much of a consultation I grant you, but better than nothing ??
15 May 2024 08:05:51
I'll say it, congratulations to all genuine vile fans on making the champions league. It can only raise the profile of the Midlands and its a turn around from 17th a couple of seasons ago. That didn't hurt me one bit!
1.) 15 May 2024 09:31:09
Full credit to them! it's something to emulate, that's for sure.
2.) 15 May 2024 09:36:56
Well said Abbey.let'e hope next season we can the midlands another side in Europe!
3.) 15 May 2024 09:45:12
Fairplay to villadaz and whacksttack congrats.
4.) 15 May 2024 12:29:47
Yeah congrats to them, nice to see a Midlands team in the Champions league.
5.) 15 May 2024 15:46:21
As much as it pains me to say it, congratulations to Villa. Unai Emery should be Manager of the Season but no doubt it will go to either Arteta or Pep.
6.) 15 May 2024 17:29:14
Pop on to their rumours site and congrats to Villadaz and whackattack
04 May 2024 17:54:21
Clear and obvious penalty!? What a shame of a refereeing decision, the ball was already over the bar before they collided . It sucks all enjoyment of a fair competition from the game. As for us can someone explain the offside rule to hwang, he's stopped us moving forward on 4 occasions so far.
1.) 04 May 2024 18:06:45
Phil Foden told the ref it was a penalty. TBH though we're not in the game.
2.) 04 May 2024 18:25:14
I bet you after the match, Pep will say Wolves we're unlucky to have the penalties given against them. Do you know why? Neither of them were penalties.
The refs have been told to ensure Arsenal and Man City remain involved in a 2 way tussle for the title at all costs.
VAR needs to be got rid off. It has totally destroyed our game.
3.) 04 May 2024 18:45:04
Think you can count on one hand the games where we haven’t been victims of dubious decisions this season. No wonder so many fans are walking away.
4.) 04 May 2024 20:11:49
I'm done with the Premier league, match was rigged.
5.) 04 May 2024 20:26:16
5 goals, 1 no pen, 2 given away after our throw on half way gets played backwards, 3 unfortunately a pan, 4 kilman let's his man free and dosnt stoo him turning to his left foot, 5 toti dosnt control ball and let's city in. Shoddy play against City, but I honestly think our spirit was taken away by the first 'pen' given without due scrutiny and too readily. Foden showed his sportsmanship, what a lovely man. At that point I almost gave up too, what chance of putting up a fight when the VAR decusions were going to make sure City would take the points. When our manager is sat away in the stand because he voiced his opinions for VAR being wrong.
I stuck with it tho, and was relived it was only 5 in the end. Football has got to change or regrettably for I shall look for results but little more. VAR and the money is killing our game. Don't get me wrong I never expected much other than a City win tonight but I think if it was a fairer game we'd have put a stronger performance in. I'm not sad to lose that game, but I'm despondent about the game in the future. As was heard, it's not football anymore.
6.) 04 May 2024 21:44:32
Well said Abbey. The ref made sure that the Wolves players knew they would be punished if they dared take in City.
06 Apr 2024 12:42:32
Well, the concensus of media predictions go for a 1-1 draw today., most probably because no one can definitively choose the more likely winners. But I'm going for a high scoring game with the old gold coming out 3-2 . Can see RAN getting another with lemina and cunha. Whatever the weather enjoy the game all who go . COYW COYW COYW
1.) 06 Apr 2024 12:54:32
Gone for my usual 3-1
Also put an extra bet of 3-1 win with Sarabia 1st scorer and Cuhna assist at anytime at 200/1.
2.) 06 Apr 2024 13:03:59
My bro is up for it and believes well win 2 nil.
I think 1 nil to us.
COYW
3.) 06 Apr 2024 13:04:00
Sounds a fair bet Jas, good luck and I'd be happy too if that's how it comes off.
4.) 06 Apr 2024 16:04:48
By bad Jas. I hope we score another two before they pull one back.
5.) 06 Apr 2024 17:14:23
You lot need to get real.wer not going to win another game this ssn and finish a dissapointing 13th.at least half of that side today aren't good enuf.

Ps. Sudu is not a new company. The manufacturing factory maybe, football shirts maybe, but they normally produce cycling gear.
30 May 2024 09:43:29
I meant when I can afford the odd game by the way.
30 May 2024 08:56:24
Or, handsome lad, you get a shirt from A****s, N**e and get paid to promote them. Dunno which works out the best financially but quality wise I'd suggest the first.
Produce your own cheap, take 75% of ridiculously inflated price and obviously you're cashing in if they sell.
Fenrir as a wolves fan from Oxford I can't afford/budget for the occasional game if able, but for a regular seat in the regular spot and subjected to KO times being moved at the whim of the tv companies, normally the more attractive fixture, the price upfront as leapt out of context at a time when we're all under a cost of living crisis.
Some may have incomes and circumstances to accept this, but many, as reflected in the petition, don't. Great you're a wolves fan like me, but please appreciate the the local regular fans who make the club we love .

Hodge to QPR on loan
27 Jul 2024 06:36:27
That was a catch WS, I hope you've got it framed or well preserved.will be worth a Bob or two.
26 Jul 2024 18:52:48
One of favourites was the dark nutmeg, goodyear with town (as was then) crest, wandering star. But, maybe because we we back in the prem, the adidas would be my favourite I think.
26 Jul 2024 16:44:15
It's no good having a good sponsorship deal on shirts if sales drop dramatically blackfords, and from reading other posters, and by the amount of promos from the club reminding me they're for sale the new kit isn't flying as in other years. This will most probably even out over the season when protesting and holidays are over, especially if we enjoy a good one, but sadly a branded shirt carries abit more 'kudos' fom a buying/wearing point of view.
Maybe the profit margins are greater from the deal but being an oldie who has collected almost every shirt/replicas over time I'm finding it hard to be tempted by this seasons effort and am dreading the black wolf print 2nd strip if the leaked photos are to be believed.
As I say I'm an oldie and as such I'm also lamenting the loss of a membership card in order to save money and go digital. We'll, at least I'll have a drinks bottle and badge!.
Ps. I agree with your comments re players and sadly the business aspect with the shirts if it comes off.
26 Jul 2024 14:11:27
The only choice for me 47 vintage, well maybe Dawson too, but Mario acted as more of a leader than Kilman most of the time anyway. If he gets the commitment and respect from the rest of lads that he puts in I'll be happy.
26 Jul 2024 07:41:14
Reckon a lot is going to hinge on wether neto/ran leave and for what fees Rated. Would still like another CB regardless, .
