An interesting news item on EPL Index claiming that Fer Lopez 21 is still playing on his reserve team contract which means Wolves will only have to pay £20M for him not the £40M release clause in his first team contract.
Allegedly their Sporting Director decided not to promote him to the first team squad yet.
Apparently, Celta Vigo are powerless to stop the transfer as the player has agreed terms with Wolves so presumably wants the move. Only outstanding issue are the stage payment details, which Mendes will get resolved so if he pulls this off he's earning his corn already.
This may well be true as I couldn't see Wolves paying £40M for an untested but highly rated youngster can you?
1.) 15 Jun 2025 14:47:07
Fer Lopez is currently on holiday with Strand Larson, they’re very good friends, have been for quite a while. Obviously JSL has had a good word in his shell like, and sold the club, set up, manager and fans to him. This really looks like a very good signing, the Celta Vigo fans are going ballistic at losing him, not just at the reduced price, they’re very angry with the club for letting him leave
2.) 15 Jun 2025 15:21:03
I agree with everyone who's had an opinion but my concern is there has still been no mention of a medical.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 19:05:31
What.another silva signing.we need players whobare ready NOW.wev lost 30 goals with cunha and ran leaving.so we spend all this money on a kid whose hardly played at the top level whol start on the bench.do we ever learn?.this does not bode well for future signings if wer going down this route.obviously we wer never really in for elliot
4.) 15 Jun 2025 21:19:13
Just remind me how old AIT, Jota, Neves and Gomes were when they signed for us.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 21:39:41
Nice one WS, there's so much negativity on here.
Personally, I think we'll sign some proper players and our team will be stronger than last season. Players that will improve over time and give us an exciting season.

Wandering - As Arddunby states below they, (in fact all of the ones you mentioned), cost a fair bit less and were an awful lot more experienced, which of course is exactly my point, so thanks!
As I state I have never seen him play - although given he has virtually never played senior football I doubt too many of us have - but am willing to take a balanced view that our recruitment team have and rate him highly.
However to be so blasé about the clear and obvious risk in this transfer given our parlous state beggars belief.
Tim we haven't got time for them to improve! These players, the ones we are spending Euro 20m + on, have to hit the ground running. We, for financial reasons, can't buy more than a handful of players at these prices but may well need something like a dozen or so new bodies. If Lopez costs over Euro 20m and is not one of the nailed on starters then we may find ourselves needing to find one in the bargain bucket - a far tougher task.
7.) 15 Jun 2025 23:29:44
TFIOG there's always a risk with players pretty sure a risk on an £18m is part and parcel of the prem these days.
On the flip side we could have signed Neves, Jota and Co and they just didn't fancy a Tuesday night at stoke or playing in the British winter as some papers were hoping.
I trust the club after 7 seasons of prem football and Vitor to get a squad together. Sale of some players that have stayed with us 3-5 years we can't complain with that.
And PSR is supposed to be less stringent for us anyway.
8.) 16 Jun 2025 07:51:06
Transfer fees have gone up on average 13.8% over the last 10 or so years, so whilst I appreciate that Jota and Neves etc were cheaper when we bought them, what would they cost in todays market?
9.) 16 Jun 2025 08:43:15
Madman - good response.
Of course there are risks in all transactions but some have more than others. An experienced player from the same league being at the low end and an inexperienced player from overseas being at the high end.
Normally this would be reflected in the price, the so called British Premium, but it appears we are paying a relatively high price for a player at the high end of the scale.
Hopefully what this means is that he is indeed a v special player - but that is exactly what we were told re Fabio!
Re trust obviously it was well merited under Nuno but since then, although we obviously have signed some diamonds, we have had a more patchy record. Last summer most of the players signed did not make the contribution we will be requiring from this year's crop.
Fortunately it is not the club that we have to trust as I am not sure that what that means - surely not Jeff - but Vitor and his team who to date have done enough to deserve some slack.
However as I stated it is impossible to get all transfers right and one could argue that of his 3 signings Djiga, Munetsi and Emmanuel only the latter looks like a nailed on starter.
Despite your comment on PSR we simply cannot afford a 1 in 3 hit rate if we are paying Euro20m + a time.
aken a battering over
10.) 16 Jun 2025 09:37:37
Wandering You can obtain your answer by simple Maths. Take their transfer fees and increase by 13.8%, (although neither were bought as far back as ten years ago).
You will find that, as stated, although both were far more experienced both were, especially if the fee is more than the initial Euro 20m postulated, a lot cheaper. So thanks for the clarification.
11.) 16 Jun 2025 11:44:59
TFIOG, just for info. Diogo Jota had made 78 appearances for all clubs before he joined us aged 20 years 6 months
Ruben Neves had made 59 appearances before he joined us aged 20 years 3 months
Fer Lopez has made 77 appearances and is 21 years and 1 month.
12.) 16 Jun 2025 12:03:50
Wandering I think you'll find the majority of those are for celta de vigo ii or RC Celta Fortuna the reserve side and not la liga or other Tier 1 appearences.
13.) 16 Jun 2025 12:44:53
OK. Good point. In that case he's made 17 appearance compared to Jotas 27 (I've disregarded the appearances he made for Pacos de Ferreira in the lower leagues)
But then, AIT only had 23 appearances for Angers before he joined us.
The point is, why are we judging Lopez before he's even set foot in the doors?
14.) 16 Jun 2025 13:37:43
Bit of calm required folks but the piece on Sky Sports about him makes very interesting and promising reading.
15.) 16 Jun 2025 16:34:43
Jota played 41 matches for pacos de fereira in 2014- 2016, they were a Portuguese tier 1 club at the time. He then played 27 times for porto on loan from athletico Madrid prior to joining WWFC on loan.
16.) 16 Jun 2025 18:06:57
Cheers TFIOG it wasn't a dig at your opinion. Just stating there is a risk with all deals. The signings from January could have flopped. Everyone goes on about Fabio Silva but in his first season he actually didn't do too bad but was being compared to Raul who was in the top 10 strikers in Europe before his injury.
We have wasted money on Bueno, Cutrone, Guedes, Nunes, Sasa, Silva, Traore over the past few seasons.
Say wasted sometimes life gets in the way with the death of his dad in Cutrones case. Rip Guedes was signed as a false 9 but is definitely a winger. Nunes probably struggled with the physicality first 3 months or so but technically ever good. Etc etc etc.
So I'm with Old Wulf get behind them let's see what happens we aren't in the market for stupidly expensive players that are moving for the money. ODCL
04 Apr 2025 15:58:25
Another website site is reporting Wolves interest in Jadon Sancho. Probably click bait which assumes Cunha will be leaving, which of course is still click bait itself.
Also, Neves may well be open to a return at some point in the future if Al-Hilal don't make him an offer to stay beyond his current contract. £300K tax free per week to live in the sun in a country with great facilities, errm let me think.
1.) 06 Apr 2025 20:25:47
No way will or should we pay 300k per week for any player so forget it.
2.) 07 Apr 2025 07:43:52
He's sampled Wolvo though Longmynd and I know where I'd rather be and it's not in the sun.The weather the last week is just right for me.
3.) 07 Apr 2025 09:23:07
Plus the crystal clear waters of the canal at the bottom of Broad Street (fact) Old Wulf, paradise. ?
4.) 07 Apr 2025 19:12:56
Luxury, pure luxury, LongmyndWolf.
24 Mar 2025 18:04:11
So the London press is reporting Spurs to offer £100M for Cunha and Jao Gomes according to Always Wolves Fan TV.
1.) 24 Mar 2025 18:57:43
They can offer what they like. It's up to the club to reject it.
£150m for both or no deal.
2.) 24 Mar 2025 19:09:09
I think we can get more we know what Cunha is going to go for and Gomes is worth more than £37.5 million.
3.) 24 Mar 2025 21:10:16
The £62.5m Cunha price is a offer which will trigger the buying club to negotiate a deal with the player. It doesn't mean that Cunha will be obliged to go.
4.) 24 Mar 2025 22:24:53
Don't forget that Wolves have to sell players regularly to avoid PSR and to satisfy Fosun's edict to be self sufficient and other clubs know this.
5.) 24 Mar 2025 23:02:14
Depends on which report you read and believe. I've read one report today stating that only 4 clubs are in danger of breaching PSR - Villa, Everton, Leicester and Newcastle. Then another saying Chelsea, Arsenal, Forest Man City and Palace aswell. Crucially, none of the reports listed Wolves as close to a breach, therefore it seems the decision to sell our better players is not to stave off a breach, more a decision by the hierarchy.
6.) 25 Mar 2025 06:51:22
Agree Wandering, the PSR situation with Clubs is very muddled.
Shi last public missive included a reference to the fact Wolves have never been at risk of breeching the rules, but like the media, difficult to believe him.
It feels that Mr Guangchang now does not see Wolves pushing to be part of the upper echelons of the football pyramid. Happy just to muddle along, looking to avoid relegation each season.
Not an inspiring goal for us fans!
7.) 25 Mar 2025 09:51:26
Personally, although all clubs need to keep an eye on PSR I've felt for some time Wolves or rather Fosun use it as an excuse. I think you sum it up nicely in your final paragraph Rugeley because that's exactly what's happening.
No ambition beyond Premier League survival, 17th? yeah that'll do.
8.) 27 Mar 2025 13:53:19
The reason wolves will not breach PSR is due to management action rather than an accident. Wolves have an average operating loss before transfers of about 30 million a year. To break even they need to make a profit on player sales of 30 million each and every year….this position is clearly not sustainable . Until operations can break even without players sales wolves will always be in jeopardy of relegation. Not sure how they can do this without significant owner support which does not appear to be forthcoming.
9.) 30 Mar 2025 20:20:57
Maybe they need a bigger stadium.
17 Mar 2025 15:12:59
If Cunha gets sold this summer is a Jota return a possibility or just (Teamtalk) click bait.
Liverpool want more than they paid for him which makes it unlikely, imo.
However, I think Jota may well leave, I just can't see him coming back to Wolves.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 15:46:23
Jota might be of interest to a top six PL team, unless Europe or Saudi. No way is he worth the £55mil quoted if Cunha's release clause is just £62mil.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 15:56:31
Maybe Forest if they are CL qualifiers.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 20:22:05
He's on £150k a week at Liverpool.
4.) 18 Mar 2025 07:59:19
He’s too injury prone for anyone to pay that money for him, he’s only completed 90 minutes twice in the league this season.
5.) 18 Mar 2025 09:37:17
He didn’t light any fires against Newcastle, which is why he got subbed.
No way is he worth £55M at 28 and with his injury record. £25M maybe but has he lost the passion?
Hope we concentrate on new, fresh talent.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 10:27:12
My friends are Liverpool fans and say he is now just average after his strong start. I couldn't disagree after seeing him on Sunday. Must be better out there for less.
7.) 18 Mar 2025 12:25:58
Joto was great for us. But now he Seams s to get a slight knock and misses a few weeks at a time we would be able to afford him
8.) 21 Mar 2025 20:18:11
Have to agree with CB, truth is that if it wasn't for his awful injury proness Pool wouldn't be looking to off load him! He's still good at finishing but that doesn't mean a lot when you can't play a full game all season. It's a shame cause he's a class player, never quite as good as he could have been cause he's always either injured or just coming back from injury ?
9.) 22 Mar 2025 13:51:25
Jota doesn't look very robust to me. He's never filled out physically like many top players do. Maybe that's the problem.
{Ed001's Note - it is all his hours playing videogames every night that is his problem. He is one of the highest ranked FIFA (EAFC now) players in the world and he maintains that high ranking by playing at least 10 games a night. Not healthy for a professional athlete.}
10.) 22 Mar 2025 16:58:48
Jota is playing at least 10 video games a night, Ed? Unbelievable! He should be giving his all to football. No wonder he's slipping from past career highs.
{Ed001's Note - he has his own eSports team as well, which he often jets around to support, even midseason.}
11.) 23 Mar 2025 08:10:54
Never go back, it translates to backwards.
12.) 23 Mar 2025 12:34:24
No good selling cunha and signing jota if we want to move forward we need to sign jota to play with cunha.
27 Jan 2025 17:37:41
Interest in Oxlade Chamberlain gaining some traction at the moment.
1.) 27 Jan 2025 18:10:01
Please no! He’s made of glass.
2.) 27 Jan 2025 18:59:28
Dawson offer (s) all rejected, who would come to us oh maybe a 31yrr old with injury recor to finish his career. Oxlade-chamberlain might join for a laugh. Please no.
3.) 27 Jan 2025 21:31:12
Abbey, this is Wolves can we really expect anything more? I think we all know deep down that Wolves will try to get people they can't then tell us we tried and/or get an over the hill freebie or loan.
4.) 28 Jan 2025 00:30:38
Why hasn't Uncle Jorge not pulled a couple of his players in our direction he has enough of them signed to his agency or has even he given up on us as well. Mind you he has to deal with Shi and Hobbs the dynamic duo!
5.) 28 Jan 2025 08:28:02
Or Fosun have given up on us Ken?
6.) 28 Jan 2025 10:53:54
I have a theory about mendes, he represents the vast majority of the team as an agent, if we go down we know that many of them will be sold and he stands to earn millions in new fees, or he can help wolves get a couple of players, earn a few million and we stay up. In essence he can stand back wait 6 months and earn millions
{Ed001's Note - it helps him more having a team that he can move players to in the top flight, where he can then move them on for a bigger fee later. You are a good showroom for his talent in the Prem, in the Championship you are not much use.}
7.) 28 Jan 2025 16:47:10
Excellent point Ed 01
My worry though is that whilst it would be very easy for him to find teams willing to benefit from being his showcase how easy has it/will it proven/prove for Wolves to find another competent head of recruitment willing/able to work with Jeff!
{Ed001's Note - clearly they need to get rid of him.}
8.) 28 Jan 2025 17:25:26
Ed001 we do need to get rid, to a chorus of "and so says all of us"
{Ed001's Note - not often people agree with me!}
LongmyndWolf's banter posts with other poster's replies to LongmyndWolf's banter posts
09 Jul 2025 10:46:33
I know it's fun to debate the in's and out's and the likely happenings of the transfer window, however, for every rumour published there will be another denying it.
Personally, I believe Wolves will make 3-4 new signings, just not necessarily the names being kicked around online. There is no way the squad, as it stands is good enough plus can you imagine the furore if the newly and presumably expensively assembled football management team draw a blank in the market. Even the fact that we have taken on 2 more coaches must surely point to a squad expansion, or it should.
However, I wouldn't even be surprised if Hwang, Guedes and Silva were still Wolves players next season, ok, maybe not Silva as the interest in him does seem to persist but Hwang ties us into the South Korean market and Guedes has the ability if not the consistency, imo.
So for what it's worth I'll just sit back, try to focus on other things at the moment, then I can be potentially delighted when things do happen or raging if they don't. On balance I think they will, they simply have to.
1.) 09 Jul 2025 11:26:18
I agree, I think there is every chance that Hwang and Guedes will still be here. Silva not so much due to a lot of interest.
I just hope that the signings we do make are first team players that can help the club instantly. Not just buying in future projects all the time.
2.) 09 Jul 2025 12:15:18
Looking increasingly likely that Hwang in particular will still be here next season, not much interest in him after such a poor season last year. Not so sure about Guedes and Fabio, may be interest in both of them. Very interested to see how the next few weeks develop, really think we need an established forward player to replace Cunha, also, I would like a new keeper, hope VP follows this site ??
3.) 09 Jul 2025 13:04:53
Yes let's wait and see. We've improved the coaching/management side so I expect to see between 3-5 new additions to the team.
We do have the basis of a very good team it just needs a few tweaks which hopefully VP and his new coaching staff can make. Reading between the lines I'm sure VP is happy with how things are progressing behind the scenes as all the non playing additions have worked with VP previously. I don't think they would have come if VP was going to walk if there was going to be no transfer activity or insufficient funds available.
I don't agree at all with TFIOG1 regarding our prospects next year. What he fails to take into account is that we only had VP for 16 games. We had GON for the first 22 and in total free fall. Yes Cuhna's goals helped keep us up, but he was not available for 6 of those 16 games and without him we won 5 games in succession. Anyway we have to trust those in charge.
By the way I also think there's a strong possibility we'll keep Hwang and Guedes. Primarily because no other PL team would want them and secondly no team in Europe will pay their wages.
4.) 09 Jul 2025 13:05:23
I get that Cunha and AIT Nouri leaving has left a few fans feeling a bit worried but let's remember that we did well when Cunha was banned. Will Bueno be an ample replacement for AIT? Attacking wise, no, but defensively, yes.
Semedo's marauding runs down the right wing will be a big loss but for all the good work getting into the attacking third of the pitch, how many assists did he get or goal chances created? Pedro Lima is a better crosser of the ball but is he as good going forward? Probably not.
We struggled last season WITH Cunha and AIT and yes, I admit that without them we most likely would have gone down, but as I've said since they were both sold, as long as the money is used to buy quality rather than quantity, then we should be OK. Personally, I think Cunha will come to regret moving to Old Trafford for footballing reasons but will no doubt compensate himself with the financial rewards.
Fer Lopez seems to be one for the future but if VP can get the players he wants sooner rather than later and give them a half decent pre season, I see no reason for us to struggle.
Rodrigo and Bellegarde will be integral to our attacking play this season. The 1st eleven, to me at least seems strong enough to survive but we do need to add to the squad. The sooner the better.
5.) 09 Jul 2025 13:14:13
Personally I would like to see Wolves go in for James Mcatee from city. For around £20 million I think that a deal could definitely be made.
6.) 09 Jul 2025 13:28:52
Just seen that Stretch5 maybe £20m is a fair price, especially as RAN went the other way cheaper than I thought anyway. As it stands now, our front 5, what do people think it would look like? Andre, Gomes, Belly or Munetsi, Larsen and Fer? Who do you prefer and/or change?
7.) 09 Jul 2025 14:40:20
Sa, Mosquera, Toti, Agbadou, Doc/Bellegarde, Bueno/Rodrigo, Andre, Munetsi, Gomes, JSL, Lopez/New Striker
8.) 09 Jul 2025 16:46:49
Personally I think Lopez could surprise a few, he's got a killer through ball in his locker, that will suit VP's style to a 'T'.
9.) 10 Jul 2025 09:39:19
I do love the optimism on these pages but like I've said before it does feel like groundhog day sometimes! I spent all of last summer being told not to be negative, that if anything the team would play better without club Captain (then Kilman) and our most creative player (Neto)! I was even told that our defence would in fact be better as a result of not replacing Kilman with an experienced Prem ready CB! ?
Sorry gents but it was nonsense then (as was proven) and it's nonsense again now! I'm not having a go, of course we are all entitled to our opinions but I just don't see any other reasoning given than 'we are going to do better, I feel it in me bones'! Never mind the facts, facts like Rayan and Cunha playing a hand in nearly two thirds of our Prem goals last season (yet to be replaced)! Facts like we finished barely above three worse teams which are no longer a safety net, most of which by the way where the reason we 'did well in the five matches without Cunha anyway'! Or that at time of writing none of Beuno, Gomes, Lima or Fer have proven themselves to be up to playing a full Prem game let alone season?!
Yes there's plenty of time to go, yes VP is a good manager but sorry gents I'm getting bored of being told 'it's OK, despite all quantifiable metrics saying otherwise and our squad being YET AGAIN poorer.we will still do better this season'! It wasn't true this time last year and it ain't true now!
We have just over six weeks, if we sign 4/5 Prem ready players we may still have chance, but I think some need a reality check on the quality left in this team becuase VP is good but he's not a magician! Would love to be wrong this time, I wasn't last time! COYW ?
10.) 10 Jul 2025 11:20:16
You weren't wrong then and you're not wrong now Bullys and I think plenty on here know it. As you say there's still time to get a few in, so I'm keeping my powder dry until the fat lady sings, or chokes, whichever.
I think the chances of Wolves signing 4/5 Prem ready players is a tad more remote given the likely source of players. I do, however, feel a bit more encouraged by the presence of VP and Mendes in this process but still wary that our Jeff/Fosun could still blow it.
As I've posted previously, wake me up when its over.
11.) 10 Jul 2025 16:18:56
BB - as usual spot on.
I know a lot of my posts focus on boring stuff like the club's finances and I accept that many aspects of the game are clearly subject to opinions.
However it no longer surprises me when, after a largely factual post, I get responses that deny, ignore or misrepresent facts and offer alternative views based almost entirely on the Mr Micawber school of analysis.
05 Jul 2025 15:34:11
Wolves have a Chairman called Jeff Shi
Who will clean house that's plain to see
No one is safe, no one secure
From the Boss, who looks so demure
Don't rock the boat or worse go feral
Agree with Jeff, or it will be at your peril
Just always say yes and you will survive
Your Wolves career you will keep alive
So take my advice, if I may be so bold
And maybe, just maybe you'll still wear old gold
He's a man, it's true, with a alternate vision
Looks at things differently whilst attracting derision
Is it about football or is it about making money
It's hard to say but you know what's not funny
We've been pretty poor at doing both of late
Will that change now or is it just too late
Have we been painted into our final corner
Will I be happy or just another relegation mourner
I listened to Jeff, I was all ears
What had he learnt after all these years
He admitted poor focus on the football side
His head full of Esports, he let it slide
After years of decline the worst almost occurred
Fiddling while Rome burnt, that's what's absurd
So have lessons been learnt, have things changed
If not, that really would be deranged
The football departments apparently sorted
New roles created or so it's reported
Not sure what the difference will prove to be
I suppose we'll all just have to wait and see
Out went Hobbs in came Teti
But have they just replaced a Bigfoot with a Yeti
That's a strange analogy I hear you say
But are they that different at the end of the day
Just more smoke and mirrors some will declare
Surely it won't mean even more despair
Will VP get the players he desperately needs
Or will it be more buying kids and sowing seeds
I'm sure Fosun don't want to be back in the 'Zone'
But as things stand we're cut to the bone
So come on Wolves get you're fingers out
Bring in those players and allay any doubt
Just, however, one cautionary note
Even if we achieve success can we really gloat
If they keep selling off our best will VP walk
Is it really a change in direction or just more talk.
So come on Jeff put the Esports toys away
Leave that to the kids, or for another day
Right now focus on the Clubs income, that's what's lacking
Don't tell us we can't compete, just get us the backing
1.) 05 Jul 2025 19:07:28
As usual longmynd, brilliant. (Loved the yeti/big foot, mind in overdrive lol).
26 Jun 2025 19:52:43
Just watched the promo video to launch the 25/26 Home kit. I like it, a blend of old and new styles really and the badge is back in the right place, on the left, if that makes sense.
1.) 26 Jun 2025 20:45:46
Agree Longmynd, looks smart. But isn’t there an issue ongoing with the shirt sponsor? I thought there was a big problem with them being an on line gambling company. Any ideas anyone? Surely not even our lot would release a new kit, only for it to be withdrawn from sale.
2.) 26 Jun 2025 21:32:02
Yes seen it too long, not too bad. How much the in weave pattern will stand out I don't know, its prominent in some pics and hardly noticeable in others. Will get a better view online tomorrow. Personally I'm not too keen on the 70s blacked in 'v' on the collar I wasn't at the time.
£60 for adult, £70 long sleeveand £80 for the pro version.

I like it too, but what about DEBET? Surely they cannot still be going with them
4.) 26 Jun 2025 23:46:13
Well I won't be buying a shirt, 1 I don't like it (it's 2025 not the 1970s) and 2 they have took my £30 renewal cash of me and everyone else so they can put the shirt where the sun don't shine.
5.) 27 Jun 2025 09:55:15
Jimmy Hlf, I'm with you regarding the shirt, just seen it online. It looks cheap the collar design will just make wearers look like Elf.
The rest is just a plain shirt apart from the incorporated design of the wolf head, 5 (?) Leaping wolves circling and crosses taken apparently from the original molineux grounds, but frankly imo it just looks abit 'cheap' in its design. Possibly the worst, no I've remembered the blue cloudy affair, the second worst shirt design we've had.
I know there'll those of you that like it, it's each to their own, I'll be proud of the team that wears it, but my money is staying wear it is this year.

I like it. Not the sponsor so much. Pity the powers that be couldn’t foresee when we would be celebrating with a shirt connecting new and old and maybe, for just one year, get ‘Goodyear’ to sponsor us.

Jimmy Hagans left foot,
I think they've moved the balance to the Wolves Reward section. You'll need to register for it (free) but that's where mine and my son's Wolves Cash went.

Re:Shirt Sponsors.
The end of the 25/26 season is the cutoff point for Betting Sponsors.
Although I did read somewhere that Debet and a few other companies had dropped out of a European Committee which they have to be in to Sponsor teams.so something may come of that.

So Benfica want VP, I suppose this will be the first of many such tests. After waiting so long to work in the Premier is he likely to want to leave it behind so soon.
Unlikely, imo, if Fosun do back him so this may also be a test of their commitment.
1.) 14 Jun 2025 23:39:37
Absolutely. If true this will indeed be a good test of Fosun's ambitions and commitment. I would hope that Fosun back VP as they did in the January transfer window and also that VP wants to stay and build on what he achieved last season and test himself in this league.

It was from sporting witness so take with a very large pinch of salt.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 07:02:38
It was Rated and apparently Benfica are denying it, who knows?

I still remember someone doing a mocking account of sporting witness called sporting witless lol.

Anyone remember the Brazilian forward Marquinhos who agreed to sign for us in 2022 but then went to Arsenal at the last minute, his agent citing Wolves proposal to give him 12 months at Grasshoppers as unsatisfactory.
Supposed to be the brightest prospect in Brazil, well after spending 3 years out on loan at Norwich, Nantes, Fluminense and Cruzeiro he's finally returned permanently to Brazil at Cruzeiro.
Did he pick the wrong club or did we dodge a bullet

Dodged a bullet 100%
2.) 10 Jun 2025 19:57:40
Maybe, or would a 19 year old moving from a Portuguese speaking nation have progressed better at a club with a significant number of Portuguese speakers. Let's see if his career gets a kick-start back in Brazil.
3.) 11 Jun 2025 10:10:55
I wonder if VP could mould Marquinhos into something? He is still very young and we must have seen something in him at the time.
13 Jul 2025 22:30:11
I can't believe that VP would sanction the sale of Andre and he's not only the Manager now but also a member of the newly formed 'transfer committee' for want of a better description.
Neither can I see even Jeff overruling him at the first opportunity so I would suggest that he will want to keep both.

Just go into 'create a new post'at the top Tim. Write your post and send. The Eds will decide if it's Rumours, Banter or anything else.

It's literally Groundhog Day Bully's, every season of late. However, have lessons been learnt in Shanghai? The local media say 'yes' but the sales of Cunha and RAN are telling us 'no'.
Ok, every club loses players, usually for football reasons or to ward off a PSR breach and that's fine. My question is why have Wolves reorganised the football management side to such a great extent. Are they gearing up for a more ambitious approach or is to squeeze even more blood out of the same stone.
Hope it's the former but so far this window it points to the latter. It's what happens going forward that now matters.
Hi Rugeley, let's hope your optimism isn't wasted but if it's, as I've described it before, same play different actors then we're still screwed, imo. As you suggest Jeff does appear to be re-engaged on the football side, hence the re-emergence of Mendes which may be a reason to be more hopeful.
14 Jul 2025 11:50:46
All clubs sell players to make money but thanks to Fosuns attitude towards infrastructure and income generating investment Wolves literally have to sell off their best every year to keep the doors open, so need to price them to sell.
In recent years, therefore, a downward spiral in the League and a downward spiral in the bank.
Great plan.
13 Jul 2025 21:31:36
Let's be honest, no one outside of the newly assembled recruitment team have a clue about what's really going on and who we are even likely to sign. The fans, the media, the pundits and those who claim to be 'in the know', it's all guesswork, imo.
As for players who are right for the club, we've sold plenty of those, many too cheaply and frankly still are. Still Liam Keen has said that 'the penny has dropped with Fosun', but for me, the juries still out on that one.
13 Jul 2025 18:23:27
Welcome to the site B hill, are you implying that good signings take longer or have I misunderstood?
11 Jul 2025 12:30:01
As I've posted before Greyleg, it's all smoke and mirrors until deals are actually done. Wolves do have a history of keeping their true targets pretty close to their chest, so it's really not worth getting to excited about rumours.
It's that or we don't hear the names they actually sign as they were 3 and 4 on the list. Again, time will tell.
10 Jul 2025 11:20:16
You weren't wrong then and you're not wrong now Bullys and I think plenty on here know it. As you say there's still time to get a few in, so I'm keeping my powder dry until the fat lady sings, or chokes, whichever.
I think the chances of Wolves signing 4/5 Prem ready players is a tad more remote given the likely source of players. I do, however, feel a bit more encouraged by the presence of VP and Mendes in this process but still wary that our Jeff/Fosun could still blow it.
As I've posted previously, wake me up when its over.
