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!}
24 Jan 2025 23:40:24
24 year old CH Eric Garcia from Barcelona anyone? Apparently available and has allegedly been offered to Wolves.
Might just be click bait of course.
1.) 25 Jan 2025 09:21:45
This was doing the round on Football Insider last week. The author just makes things up.
2.) 25 Jan 2025 11:05:00
Going for a sneaky win to us today
I no I’m dreaming but jimmy greaves used to say
It’s a funny old game
3.) 25 Jan 2025 13:18:28
Sure Hansi Flick has said he wants to keep Garcia no traction on this one.

LongmyndWolf has written an article entitled, Next Season Looking Positive For Wolverhampton Wanderers
1.) 22 Apr 2025 17:33:58
Long you are correct there is no reason why we couldn't have a good season next year.
We have a strong defence with Yerson to come back. One of the best Mids in the league and an ok attack - although heavily reliant on Cunha and RAN for creativity.
However I do think people are getting carried away with the idea that we can lose Cunha and it will make no difference as we had a good run without him.
We beat 3 of the bottom 4 (indeed our 5 wins have come against 5 of the bottom 7, we are the 6th and Leicester, who we play next the 7th.)
Also whilst not unhappy to lose any of the players you mentioned - (although perhaps odd that so many think Sa will leave, meaning we have to buy a new gk and its hard to think we will get a player as good for the pennies Sa costs?)- the club is seemingly signalling that RAN will go as well.
With us already having H Bueno and Gomes R of our, in my view, best 6 players (Cunha, RAN, Andre, Gomes J, Semedo and Emmanuel), he is the one we can most easily cover for. However as stated he is our 2nd best creative player behind Cunha. Losing them both would be a disaster.
Also the idea that we can simply sell our best player each year - Neves, Neto and now Cunha - but merely continue to find players of the required quality to replace them is in my view a huge and highly flawed gamble.
I know I have bored you all to death with this but I just wish so many Wolves fans weren't so happy with Jeff's "Wolves are not a club to win things with" mantra.
He is wrong and it doesn't have to be like this.
Why for example should Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth, (teams with virtually no heritage), and Villa, Newcastle and Forest (teams with heritage but who until relatively recently were well behind us in the pecking order), be teams that have ambition whilst we don't?
Rhetorical question by the way!
2.) 22 Apr 2025 19:19:01
Longmynd you summed it up at the end.
Forget who may or may not leave I think the real key to our future is making sure we retain VP. Jeff and his bosses have to give some clear indication of their intentions and hopefully ambitions or they will see this club and any financial benefits trickle away, and ensure a struggling club for years to come.
I'm worried that global pressures may constrict any safety in future speculative moves from fosun, and I'm still worried that they'll cash in and sign out in the summer.
3.) 22 Apr 2025 21:18:17
Those are the $64,000 questions Abbey all compounded by the lack of information coming out the club but if they carry on selling off our best just to keep the doors open, so to speak, what's the point?
TFIOG I hope they were shaken by our struggles earlier this season, as we've said many times relegation would have been a disaster for them, the Club and of course the fans. To be fair we did have a good Xmas window in response to that threat but the forthcoming Summer window will tell us far more about Fosun's future intentions.
Is their age of austerity coming to an end, have they restructured sufficiently or will the goings on in the US prolong it, maybe their attitude towards Wolves is for keeps? Will the hiring of VP and what he's achieved soften their approach or will it in their eyes vindicate their policies? No idea, but as things stand some of the players I've mentioned apparently want to leave while the others seem to be strongly tipped to go.
VP has proven we were in a false position in the League, however, as you rightly point out that's with the players we currently have so will the pruning be to the periphery of the squad to give VP more of who/what he wants or will Jeff get his tree saw out, again?
If it's the latter then I agree without the right replacements it could well be another race to the bottom in which case I would think VP would walk. Or, Fosun might conclude it's just not for them anymore and put the Club up for sale as a mid table side with plenty of potential for growth, both on and off the pitch.
17 Apr 2025 10:08:34
As I'm away from tomorrow I'll post my prediction now Man Utd 1 Wolves 2.
I would go 3 but not sure yet what the team selection will be, but I think we'll be set up for attack.
We've got momentum right now plus I want to watch Mark Goldbridge have a meltdown, lol, so fingers crossed.
1.) 17 Apr 2025 13:54:04
We are the team in form and Man U have bigger fish to fry against Lyon tonight. Nevertheless I don't see a win for us, as all good runs must come to an end, and ditto the bad runs. 2-2.
2.) 17 Apr 2025 20:42:03
I'm going with longmynd this game, a 2-1 victory for us. Won't be easy I'm sure but I've no reason now to doubt our potential, if they beat Lyon tonight in a long drawn out game all the better.
3.) 17 Apr 2025 20:47:25
That should've read 'get beat by lyon tonight.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 07:04:30
Well they won in a long drawn out game, I think emotionally they will be spent and struggle to be up for the game against us. We have a great chance for another win.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 08:53:59
I'm going a 1-2 Wolves win inline with LMW and AW.
14 Apr 2025 07:45:28
Tottenham came and Tottenham went
Another 3 points, Heaven sent
In a game with plenty of mistakes
Just for a change we got the breaks
Vicario punched a cross out straight to RAN
His fine volley back in beat Spurs to a man
Wolves pushed on bouyed by the lead
The fans urging them on to get the points we need
Vicario again with another howler
All on his own this time, no challenger, no fouler
A poor pass out, an opportunity to advance
The cross came in Larsen fluffed his chance
Spurs then had a shot, a powerful one
But Sa showed Vicario how it's done
Then our second from a RAN cross in
Vicario committed his next sin
Pushed the ball in off his own defender for our second
Ange was livid as the sack surely beckoned
Semedo fluffed his lines, he'll take some flack
He missed the ball and it went in off his back
But within 5 minutes Wolves made it three
RAN was on fire there for all to see
He robbed the defender and crossed from the left
Strand- Larsen was on hand and his touch was deft
Wolves now had 3 and they seemed to be cruising
Spurs looked like they were heading for a bruising
But back they came for their second on 85
Were they beaten or very much alive
Just 1 minute later the fans got the answer
Cunha should be on Strictly he'd be some dancer
On for Ait Nouri after a 4 game ban
What a player he is, I'm a big fan
Some wanting him benched this season
Why? what possible reason
For saying something about him leaving
Better than sitting in the Chump grieving
Cunha robbed the Spurs defence - twice
Slotted it past their keeper now that was nice
So Wolves had scored 4 now that's a wrap
Spurs on their way home for a much needed nap
Wolves were jubilant survival surely resurrected
Doing better under VP, as we expected
So 5 games to go 15 points still out there
6 or even 9 what will be our share
1.) 14 Apr 2025 11:12:46
Excellent as always Long!
2.) 14 Apr 2025 11:15:15
Fantastic again, longmynd, cunha on strictly, its not a SEVERN from me, much higher rating than that.
3.) 14 Apr 2025 11:28:52
Spot the error, 6 games to go 18 points still out there. Must try harder ?
4.) 14 Apr 2025 12:46:28
Brilliant Long.
5.) 14 Apr 2025 14:21:54
Excellent LMW
10 Apr 2025 14:00:00
So Wolves, Villa, Palace and Liverpool head the Premier League Form Table, all with 4 wins, one draw and one loss.
Taken over the last six games, so a good indication of our recent improvement in consistency.
1.) 11 Apr 2025 05:50:35
Trouble is longmynd we've not all played the same opposition as others have which rather makes the stats 'just for fun' but yes, an improvement against our former self no doubt.
2.) 11 Apr 2025 11:45:56
It's a good point Abbey but don't forget Wolves used to beat the higher placed teams the lose to those nearer the bottom.
Let's see what the next 5 games bring as there are 4 of those teams above us. Then we can revue it over a bigger and better sample.
3.) 11 Apr 2025 14:28:01
Agree longmynd, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming games, we can play with a little freedom now, rid of the fear. VP can now maybe get things more to his style.
What a turnaround from looking at the teams we might be facing in the championship.
07 Apr 2025 12:41:41
Without looking too far ahead does anyone else believe that the three remaining games in April, Spurs, Man Utd and Leicester are all winnable, or is it just me?
1.) 07 Apr 2025 12:56:54
5 points would be a good haul, it probably depends on the Uefa cup results how spurs and Man U approach the league matches.
07 Apr 2025 09:23:07
Plus the crystal clear waters of the canal at the bottom of Broad Street (fact) Old Wulf, paradise. ?
25 Mar 2025 09:51:26

16 Feb 2025 19:55:42
TFIOG are you talking about planning a competitive team for the future in an organised way? Are you some sort of trouble maker? ?
03 Feb 2025 21:49:30
Good news Ex they've done more than I expected plus having wrapped Cunha up, for the time being at least. Looking at the dreaded player highlights Djiga looks useful but I haven't seen enough on Munetsi to judge.
Let's hope they can both bring something.
25 Apr 2025 11:34:13
Ed001, that's hilarious, why don't you tell us what you really think.? Mind you Deep has a point, tbf.
{Ed001's Note - I can't say what I really think, that was the polite version!}
24 Apr 2025 20:35:11
Did anyone else wonder why Cunha didn't take the free kick against Man U that Sarabia scored, he normally does. Or am I just preaching sedition.
24 Apr 2025 16:36:44
If it's all true 'the manager' he's probably had his head turned, maybe he thinks they're still a force in the league or it's just £'s. If the media is to be believed he likes them and he's now not the most popular player in the Wolves dressing room. Personally, I think I'd wait and see who else is interested if I was him.
So another one bites the dust and we move on, it's happened before and it will happen again, so now it's all about the replacements.
24 Apr 2025 11:04:30
Rugeley I'm not sure if a 'bail out' happened or not given the financial independence mantra but you're right we do have all of those things right now. However, you make an excellent final point which probably tells us more about their plans going forward.
23 Apr 2025 21:51:52
I think what QS means Blackfords is that Jeff/Fosun's interpretation of 'success' might look a bit different to what the fans would like to see.
Success to them may simply mean financial independence whilst maintaining a spot in the Premier League. The fans inevitably will want more but as you say the Summer will give us a better understanding of what is likely to happen.
