Current rumours regarding our January incomings:
Kalvin Phillips (Man City)
Terem Moffi (Nice)
Kaio Jorge (Cruzeiro)
Adama Traore (Fulham)
Looks like the club are looking to cash in on JSL and either Andre or Gomes in readiness for relegation.
1.) 22 Dec 2025 22:05:37
Mr Blobby, The Flash and Merlin are also available.
Oh and if we can find a goalie called Jesus that would be great as I see signs everywhere that proclaims ‘Jesus Saves’!
2.) 22 Dec 2025 22:31:41
Well I’m sure we’ll be able to take our pick of players in January. There’s bound to be loads queuing up to sign for us. Talk about a buyers market. Yes we definitely hold all the cards when it comes to signing players this window.
Can’t wait. ?
3.) 22 Dec 2025 20:32:00
They'll be bringing these guys in during the January window.?
BBC article

Don't want Adama nowhere near us, he couldn't wait to go before.

Realistcally Wolves MUST sell their most valuable players in January or risk their values dropping once relegation is confirmed and that is getting closer with every game.
Bring in bench warmers or squad players to see the season out until the Summer when serious signings can be made with the money obtained.
That will mean Joao Gomes, Andre, Larsen and Arias being sold and Krejci released, who is only on loan, to save his salary.
The others who are left will have to carry on until the Summer when a clearout is possible with just probably Doherty, Arokodare, Mane, Hoever etc left plus a number of newcomers arriving at Molineux.
Who, from where and if having any British experience will be down to the transfer team who surely must get it right this time?
7.) 23 Dec 2025 09:15:04
Some good points OAP …the only slight concern is…
‘Bring in bench warmers or squad players to see the season out until the Summer’
I’d still like to think we’d could just about beat Derby’s record. It’s looking less and less likely but setting a new record which will probably NEVER be beaten and maybe going a whole season without a single win…going down in history as the worst premier team ever…well that’s going to hurt. ?
8.) 23 Dec 2025 15:51:49
3G wolf, it could be a global record for tier1 sides!
20 Dec 2025 18:27:53
I was speaking with some fans as I was leaving Molineux today. They had heard a rumour that Guo has personally intervened and removed Jeff from his post. The reason being that he could see that his disastrous tenure is almost certainly going to see us relegated. Guo has allegedly approached a number of high profile people with experience of running football clubs but none of them were prepared to work with Jeff.
They also said Daniel Levy had been approached to take over as Executive Chairman and Dan Ashworth as Sporting Managing Director. Both turned down the offers but may reconsider now that Shi has gone but are not that keen to lower themselves to a Championship club which is what we soon will be.
Guo has taken the decision to remove Shi as he had basically turned the club into a laughing stock.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 19:51:46
Utter and complete garbage
2.) 20 Dec 2025 21:34:58
Dan Ashworth would be a good idea. It would be good to see players develop through the academy and set up similar scout networks to Brighton and Newcastle. The West Midlands and Shropshire must be rife with quality young players.
Levy very similar to Shi very astute financially but is known for not attracting and not paying the going rate for certain quality players.
The question is do you roll the dice and allow a good manager (not Edwards) to rebuild the squad for the second half of the season.
The season is written off so what is the clubs plan?
I'm not sure what the right path is to be honest.
I think it's difficult to say plan for the Championship as Edwards could be sacked if they keep losing. 6 games is a lot of games to be fair and the squad he has is better than Luton IMO. I can't see much difference than Vitor. I'd keep Edwards as a youth coach.
I'd like a manager that is well drilled and has a way of keeping clean sheets.
Then in the January window I would sign some quality at RWB, lwb and two forwards with pace.
Happily sell Larsen, Arias, Andre, Jackson and Wolfe to fund those players.
LWB-Pubill (loan), FW-Jota at Celtic, RWB-Thiago Santos from Lille, CB-Bright Area Mbi from Braga, CM-Mainoo (loan) for Andre.
Oscar Minguisa would be a good option to cover CB and LWB with AFCON
Also not sure on the midfielders but maybe Neves is an option.
I think the club will struggle to sign two forwards so players that have to fight for a WC spot may be the best option.
Also if we plan for the championship Dendoncker and Traore for 2nd half of the season on loan wouldn't be a bad options with their experience.
There is a mixture of different players that would be positive for staying in the prem under a different manager and the championship and developing for next season we also have Doyle out on loan which could be an option for the championship.
But what is the plan have the players and club given up?
And what is Fosun's plan I think w may find out more this week.
I can't see them writing off half a season with a gap (although big at 13 points) as we have to face all the teams around us.
But can they sign the quality and pace on the wings and forwards to put up a fight.
ODCL

Any respectable company (or CEO) would have been on the case before now. Shameful, irresponsible and unprofessional.
Says it all!
4.) 20 Dec 2025 21:47:09
What an absolute crock of ?
5.) 20 Dec 2025 22:38:10
I think we lose to both Liverpool and United and then, if West Ham beat us on 3rd Jan, Rob Edwards is gone.
6.) 21 Dec 2025 10:32:51
No chance of us signing quality Madman. Quality goes elsewhere. Loan is the only chance of getting decent players in but they will only be peripheral players for their current teams meaning they won't be quality even if they are better than we've got.
Also they'll be out of match practice and of course there are loan limits (2 from other English clubs). Basically, we're way up that well known creek without a paddle or even a canoe!
7.) 21 Dec 2025 12:00:29
Agreed Old Wulf. But I don't think the players and coach should be rolling over each week.
Stage one keep a clean sheet so we can build on that.
We lost yesterday as we let a ball bounce (good ball on the replay BTW) and then didn't head that ball clear.
We can't let that happen every game attack the f**king ball as a defender.
Edwards got the subs wrong yesterday we took our width off when Hoever (agreed not good enough) but he was trying to get forward and play crosses in.
After West Ham game 3rd Jan there is 17 games left that's 51 points up for grabs.
The squad isn't as far of picking up results as we think. We need some balance and experience at wing back and some pace and courage in the forwards.
35 points may be enough to stay up.
So what is Fosun's plan.
I agree with the not attracting quality depends who they move out and what the project is short to medium term.
I would roll the dice as I think 3 quality players either loans or signings nd we start picking up points.
But I also don't think Edwards is the man to get us into a shape to keep clean sheets and build on that in the short term.
8.) 21 Dec 2025 14:44:12
Pity we can't get Dan Ashworth at the moment we are run by amateurs. Can't believe they train or are coached together, no discipline and shocking work rate. Right from the start the plan was to park the bus and soak up pressure.
We were at home for goodness sake and try to sit on a goalless draw, madness. No doubt RE is a nice books it this lot need a kick up the backside. Could have done with Dyche to shake them up sadly too late now.
9.) 21 Dec 2025 15:50:11
Probably is complete garbage but at the moment nothing surrounding WWFC would surprise me.
I suspect Old Wolf is correct, the loan market will probably be the way to go in the January window.
13 Dec 2025 12:57:28
I was talking to a workmate of mine who works in the world of marketing for some major brands but is also a bit of a conspiracy theorist.
We were talking Wolves and he mentioned that Adidas were the ones who decided to walk away from the shirt deal as they didn't want to be associated with Jeff Shi's vision for the club. This is also the reason Castore also walked away after 2 years.
Now that Wolves are plummeting into the Championship, he said Fosun are not happy and looking for answers.
I hope this is true and Fosun get rid of Shi.
1.) 13 Dec 2025 17:59:40
We all know about the concept of 'face' in Chinese culture. The loss of face by Fosun will be enormous, with the almost inevitable relegation ahead. Jeff might have to fall on his sword, or be pushed. It's not just Fosun. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the great wave of Chinese investment in football a decade or so ago in the UK and Europe has been a failure.
Sadly, relegation will only prolong Fosun's ownership of Wolves, whereas they might be tempted to sell if we by some miracle stayed up. They must know they're out of their depth by now.

So Matheus Mane is 'angling' for a move according to Keith Wyness and Football Insider.
Why is he allowed to have articles published as all he writes is complete Bullsh*t.
1.) 19 Jan 2026 09:30:44
Gwil1 complrtiey agree he opens his gob and aload of rubbish comes out. RE has said not one Wolves player is agitating for a move where does he get his information from.
2.) 19 Jan 2026 13:43:54
Im.pleased you wrote that Gwil1, I was about to write the same.
Ive just read what this Wayness wrote.
Made me angry!
As far as I know Mane is not pushing for an exit at all.
Such fabrication and stirring should be banned!
3.) 19 Jan 2026 15:55:45
Most people know football insider are full of horse manure anyway mate, nobody takes any notice of them.
15 Jan 2026 15:36:53
Anyone remember when Jorge Mendes helped our club recruit the like of Patricio, Moutinho, Jota and Neves?
It seems he's now decided that he wants to stab us in the back by orchestrating Joao Gomes move away from us.
1.) 15 Jan 2026 17:06:58
Or did Fosun stab Mendes in the back by deviating from their original plans to progress the club into a Champions League team with a world class stadium and forcing out many other staff members who had the same ambitions?
First The Points
2.) 15 Jan 2026 18:33:14
Again though Good there's an assumption that its behind the club's back. What exactly about our tried and tested history of selling our quality players and replacing them with entirely unproven cheaper players supports that theory?!
Also there's no getting away from the fact that it's a WC year and Gomes will want to be going. So whoever the instigater of this move if it happens in Jan it will ONLY be because the club has been run so incredibly poorly that Gomes (like most decent players) won't see a long term future with us! That's not the players fault and it's not Mendes fault, it's Jeff and Fusons I'm afraid.
You reap what you so and for 4/5 seasons Fosun have been sowing poor quality/Championship level seeds! ?
3.) 15 Jan 2026 18:34:14
You have a point, First. Wolves reneged on the grand plan.
4.) 15 Jan 2026 19:04:44
Jorge Mendes threw his toys out of the pram when Matt Hobbs said that the club wanted to deal with all agents and not just those controlled by Jorge Mendes.
Remember when Lyon tried to hijack the Joao Gomes deal? That was Mendes. Likewise, what was the reason Uche decided against joining us? That's right, Mr Mendes.
5.) 15 Jan 2026 20:16:32
But again though Good what proof/evidence do you have for either of those statements?! For a start neither of the two players you mention are even clients of Mendes so why exactly would he even be involved in those deals in the first place?! Add to this that in Uches case his camp (not Mendes) clearly intimated that it was in fact Wolves that changed the goal posts late in the day and were trying to penny pinch. In Gomes case Lyon offered his full release fee (we hadn't), luckily the player was determined for the Prem else again we would have lost our to penny pinching.
So again where's the evidence Mendes was even involved?
The club is in charge of its own transfer business and if they are/have failed at it then it's on them. Two fired recruitment teams in less than 12 months would suggest issues, no?! I don't especially like Mendes but this notion that he's suddenly the one behind our demise is not only nonsense it's also a little deluded! Could Mendes have done more maybe but loads of clubs do business with him and I can't see any other clubs or fans blaming their poor transfer managemtn on a third party/agent, can you?!
6.) 15 Jan 2026 20:40:39
BullysBoy, you are correct in that Uche is not a client of Mendes, however, Wolves asked Mendes to broker the move. And Uches agent walked away due to Mendes demands. Just type in 'Why did Uche reject Wolves' and you'll see the reasons for yourself. Yes there are other reasons, but Mendes interference is one of them.
7.) 15 Jan 2026 21:15:56
That maybe the case Good but firstly just cause someone's written it doesn't make it true and secondly ask yourself WHY have we asked Mendes to oversee the deal? To me it suggests that Fosun (who don't forget own 10% of Gestifute) are using Mendes to squirrel money away from the clubs transfer chest and into there own pockets! Ya know just like they did when Doherty left where Wolves made a pittance of the final transfer fee!
So if like your suggesting Fosun are consistently employing an agent to represent them and consistently getting screwed over by said agent then who exactly is at fault the agent or the company that's instructing him?! If I pay a Financial Advisor to give me advice and they are consistently doing it poorly anything after the first time is entirely on my shoulders, like in this case where it's ENTIRELY on Fosuns!
8.) 16 Jan 2026 07:02:54
For those fans who seem confused about the relationship between Fosun and Gestifute.
In 2016, Fosun, through a a subsidiary, acquired a 20% stake in Gestifute.
When Guangchang and two other Fosun directors acquired Wolves,
it was a perfect relationship: Fosun money, good local management, Dalrymple and his team and a strong link with one of the biggest football agency in the world.
To think Mendes does things to the detriment of Wolves is a ridiculous view.
Gestifute generated approximately €1.66 billion in client transfer values in 2025. Post-tax profits were €58.9 million in 2023.
Fosun do very well out of being a part-owner.
Sadly as Bully has said, at the peak of our success, the decision was taken to sack most of the senior management and let Shi run the Club.
We all know how that has turned out. For me, I just can't understand how Guanchang has allowed the decline to become so critical.
9.) 16 Jan 2026 08:45:54
So why exactly would Fosun be OK Mendes trying to convince Gomes to sign for Lyon when he'd already given his word to Wolves. What would the benefit be there? I get that Mendes is still used by Wolves to broker deals but let's be honest here, Mendes' priority is Mendes. He does not care about Wolves at all.
10.) 16 Jan 2026 16:33:39
I agree Good but all you seem to be doing is making my point for me?! Because the Uche deal was a 18 months after Gomes so do you honestly think that Mendes tried to screw us over on the Gomes deal THEN Fosun went straight back to him to get Uche over the line?! If you really believe that then what does it say about the stupidity of Jeff/Fosun?
It's also worth noting here that the 'trying to convince' part of that is complete speculation, the reality is Lyon triggered his release clause so they were always going to be able to talk to him. For all we know Mendes could have been the very reason he stuck with Wolves?!
We also seem to be having two different debates here cause no where have I said Mendes cares about Wolves but frankly that's not his job! If the club have come off the worst side of his transactions then that's on them, not him! He's an agent first and foremost and (in fairness) he's never pretended otherwise.
I just think blaming him for any of our predicament is kind of the equivalent of having a go at the band on the Titanic! Yeah they might of been poor but it's not what sunk the ship is it?! ?
Couldn't agree more Rugeley mate, I don't think any of us realised it at the time but the summer when all of our top quality back room left was the beginning of the end. Not just because of the lost talent but because it represented Fosuns complete lack of interest and winding down of the club, fast forward 5 years and we are all now looking for a life raft, such a shame! ?
02 Jan 2026 16:11:36
Rob Edwards has said that Wolves might have to generate their own funds this month if they want to spend big on players.
He's admitted it doesn't necessarily need to be experienced players, but players with the right character and players who want to be at the club.
Who would have thought that Fosun have again promised a Manager one thing but delivered another?
1.) 02 Jan 2026 16:46:10
It will soon be time to get the ‘Save The Wolves’buckets out again .
First The Points
2.) 02 Jan 2026 17:14:43
As expected looking like more betrayal from Fosun, no transfer funds, no support, sell what decent players we have left.
Nothing changes and never will whist they are in control, absolute parasites.
3.) 02 Jan 2026 19:07:02
Agreed Oxley, so much for Fosun being keen to help as they, in reality, have no intention. RE is, like VP another 'compliant' Coach which is why they got the job.
Let's see what happens this January but I think the phrase is 'hope for the best but expect the worst'.
4.) 02 Jan 2026 20:55:35
If Shi2 has any self respect, conscious or honour there will be help to try and keep us up. Anything short will prove him to be a liar.
Time will tell.
5.) 02 Jan 2026 22:46:12
So once again fosun and shi mk2 have lied. what a shocker.
I’ve been saying it for a while fosun have zero interest/care for us a club they just want the iconic badge to slap all over their esports crap in China and South Korea
Make no mistake things can and will get massively worse next season when we don’t have the income from the premier league and sky tv
6.) 03 Jan 2026 00:45:54
Should be called poison not fosun.this is only going to get worse. For the faithful and God help us next season in the chumpionrubbish .

Hwang tolu and mane to come good tonight 3-2 wolves. (Dreaming again). COYW
2.) 30 Dec 2025 20:27:54
Hwang doing his usual thing in the opening 10 minutes. Running around like a headless chicken and when he does get the ball, he slows down the play and then passes backwards.
3.) 30 Dec 2025 20:44:31
Get Hwang off the pitch NOW. Dispossessed by Heaven when under no pressure leading to the goal. He is awful.
4.) 30 Dec 2025 20:44:50
Get him off the pitch
27 Dec 2025 16:06:25
Rob Edwards is the worst manager in history. Yes this includes Saunders and TC.
No shape to the team. No attacking intent. No defensive line and a midfield that gets over run every single time.
1.) 27 Dec 2025 16:59:00
Better second half but I still think that he should go not good enough
2.) 27 Dec 2025 17:00:09
2nd half was better but you could see that Liverpool eased off the gas.
It will be similar against Man Utd and Sesko hasn't scored for a while so he'll score against us.
Then next Saturday, the players will return to Molineux against West Ham and lose 3-0.
3.) 27 Dec 2025 17:11:51
Sorry but you must be delusional if you think we still have any chance of staying in the prem!
RE was brought in to reset us in the championship for a quicker chance of a return. That’s the reality.
I’d love to be proven wrong but unfortunately it’s something that I’ve accepted now.
As it appears we can’t even better Derby’s low score my only hope is that Fosun agree on a sale
4.) 27 Dec 2025 17:22:19
Boswolf you need to have a rethink mate he will not get us back next season look what happened to Luton when they went down under him it will happen to us to he's not good enough mate another Terry Conner
5.) 27 Dec 2025 17:58:54
BoSWolf, who in their right mind can possibly think we're staying up. We ain't getting another point this season. The only way we stay up is if 3 teams get massive points deductions.
6.) 27 Dec 2025 18:23:28

Goodwhileitlasted1 seems many posters on this site!
7.) 27 Dec 2025 21:34:05
Why is everyone talking about a quick return from the championship? Fosun have totally destroyed our club and we have no right to an immediate return. Well done Fosun, your easy profit on our quality players is worth far more than my 50+ years of season tickets.
Goodwhileitlasted1's rumour replies
23 Jan 2026 12:14:03
£30m plus add ons.
22 Jan 2026 15:30:47
I never really rated Phillips but if we did lose either Joao or Andre, then he would be the type of player we need. He's still young enough to give us a good season in the Championship and he has experience.
He still has 2 years left on his Man City contract so if we offer a loan and contribute towards his wages then or Man City decide to cut their losses, we may actually benefit from a good player at a decent price.
21 Jan 2026 15:25:09
I'd tell them to have him at the end of the season but for a straight swap for Harvey Elliott. We'd get a more attacking midfielder.
21 Jan 2026 15:21:41
Should be 4 players. I forgot about Munetsi.
21 Jan 2026 14:32:03
3 First team players gone, none brought in. It's not looking promising at the moment. Surely having an already weak squad will be even weaker with Agbadou, Lopez and Hoever departed.
Goodwhileitlasted1's banter replies
25 Jan 2026 13:24:15
I don't think is was a penalty and fair play to Mane for getting up so quickly.
What I did notice was how the commentary team didn't bat an eyelid when Rodri made a high challenge from behind on Andre but were adamant that Mosquera should have seen red for an a challenge on Doku.
24 Jan 2026 14:45:05
We are expected to lose but I think Man City have been a little disrespectful by keeping Haaland on the bench.
22 Jan 2026 15:39:43
The players we're linked with is rather bleak. Philip Otele, German Berterame, 2 youngsters on trial, Harry McGlinchey, Anis Mehmeti, Ollie Anderson and Jonas Adjetey.
18 Jan 2026 20:58:40
I honestly don't know why you're having a go at me for. I didn't print the figures. I don't know if they're true or not. I know the figures that were submitted to Companies House last year but other than that, I don't know the inner workings at the club.
I have no idea where any of the money has gone or will come from. I'm just using the figures that are publicly printed. There are posters on here who have a better understanding of finances than me who could assist.
18 Jan 2026 17:14:38
De Wolf was God. As I said. I just took the figures from the BBC. I'm no finance expert so I can't say how much debt the club will have. I do expect there to be some savings as usually when a club gets relegated, the operating costs reduce and staff are let go. Add to that, the more saleable players are sold.
