So Wolves may be interested in Niclas Fulkrug of West Ham alongside Fulham according to Keith Wyness.
It would make sense as I'm pretty sure they intend to sell JSL at some point in the near future.
1.) 13 Nov 2025 11:15:41
Sorry LongmyndWolf he's more injured than Callum wilson which says a lot plus he's 32 no from me. Put something on went on to Banters page have a read.
2.) 13 Nov 2025 11:23:07
Fulkrug is absolutely useless, shockingingly average. So we'd be swapping a proven Prem player for one that's not up to it, so like you say makes sense buddy looking at our previous/current transfer strategy! ?
3.) 13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
4.) 14 Nov 2025 12:53:30
It is all so depressing .
I have been a Wolves fan since the 1960s
and apart from the Bhatti era I can't remember ma more depressing time to be a Wolves fan.
Fosun will hopefully dump us when we're relegated around March time.
Then hopefully we will get owner's who are not just interested in making money and to hell with football and the fans.
05 Nov 2025 21:00:11
Emmanuel Petit has suggested that Mourinho could be a potential candidate for the Wolves job.
His rational being that Mourinho himself said in October '24 after Fenerbahce he would like to take on a lower Premier League club who are nowhere near European competition, or words to that effect.
Now at Benfica where things aren't exactly working out for him, so.
I know so don't shoot the messenger.?
1.) 05 Nov 2025 21:26:05
Could mean massive compensation though Long, on top of salary expectations.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
3.) 05 Nov 2025 22:50:37
Mourinho wouldn't take crap from the players either, i'd have him at Wolves.
But as already pointed out by Arrdunby it would require high compensation and high salaries.
4.) 06 Nov 2025 06:19:26
Rated mate no way mourinho is well past his sell by date he's been sacked in his last 4 jobs I think.
5.) 06 Nov 2025 06:21:54
It feels like wishful thinking chaps.
Too rich an option for us. UNLESS, Fosun do look to bring in proper Senior Management at the top and a whole new approach taken.
6.) 06 Nov 2025 08:55:04
Rosenior.be a good shout I reckon
7.) 06 Nov 2025 12:43:51
Rosenior would be a good shout if he wanted the job, but also if he's given 18 months and not just to the end of the season. If / when we go down changing the head coach again seems a waste unless we go down without a fight.
At the moment we just may have to accept whoever it is due to a lack of pulling power (unless it turns out to be Shi in a tracksuit).
8.) 06 Nov 2025 14:29:10
Rob Edwards has emerged as the clear bookies' odds-on favourite overnight. He made a good attempt at keeping Luton in the PL and is doing very well with Middlesbrough, 3rd in the table. He surely wouldn't take the Wolves job if he wasn't confident he could keep us up.
9.) 06 Nov 2025 18:21:57
I would like to see Rob as our manager as long as fosun give him a chance to get us back up if we are relegated
Let's be honest .this wolves team are in a mess and whoever takes over will need a decent war chest.
14 Aug 2025 09:08:20
I see the Ben Doak link has resurfaced with Wolves and a couple of others interested.
Just 19 but plenty of potential especially as he's been 'raised' in UK football so no resettlement issues.
What do we think?
1.) 14 Aug 2025 09:32:43
He had a good first half of last season in championship then out injured. I've heard Liverpool want a very low buyback clause.
Would be an option off the bench but would having him compromise the development of Lopez?
2.) 14 Aug 2025 09:38:03
Apparently Carney Chukwuemeka is available from Chelsea for £12-15mil, again has had his injuries but seems to be past them.
3.) 14 Aug 2025 10:18:07
Be very suprised if oak came here. Our history and name means nothing anymore and shi said " if you want trophies " look elsewhere and doak probably will
{Ed001's Note - he is just looking to play regular first team football.}
4.) 14 Aug 2025 11:48:41
Kalimuendo set for Premier League move in coming days' Rennes have not commented on who the club is, player has agreed terms also, Ed’s what’s the chances this may be Wolves ??
5.) 14 Aug 2025 13:34:41
I like the look of Doak and Elliott played well in preseason.
Cb-Disasi
CM/CAM-Elliott
St-Fofana
FW-Doak
RWB-Sanchez (Still hasn't gone Napoli)
Questions over Elliott can cover in midfield and as a no 10 Vitor has said he wants this.
I know- why have I mentioned Sanchez he hasn't left Seville so I guess our offer is better than Napoli's?
Didn't realise Veiga has to be sold according to Chelsea so that probably does rule wolves out (at £35m) but maybe a loan and obligation next summer (Mendes client so worth watching).
6.) 14 Aug 2025 14:38:16
We've been offered LLoyd Kelly. I'm starting to think that on loan with a buy option isn't a bad idea, would probably be a starter and between him and Toti we'd have LB cover and be better equipped to switch to a 4 at the back if needed?
7.) 14 Aug 2025 15:15:30
Not against Lloyd Kelly MW.
What happened to the link with Mingueza?
Yes the pink hair lwb on Saturday when we played Vigo. ?
Thought he played well to be fair looked a step up on the other players on the pitch.
8.) 14 Aug 2025 15:26:17
Mingueza, good player but will only move for a champions league club and probably out of or price range
9.) 14 Aug 2025 16:31:21
Hmm suppose he wants to lay his claim for the WC spot.
Didn't realise he played rwb as well (as played in Nations League final)
Would a move to Wolves be that bad under Vitor?
Aghehowa is the same yes playing CL football is all well and good.
But you can develop so much more in the prem (if you have the character and technical ability).
Is staying at Celta Vigo and Porto better?
Apart from the weather and lifestyle. I do think from a professional stand point moving to the prem is far superior over what ever you do at either of those clubs.
Especially in your mid 20's. I remember we were linked with Kessie and Talisca in the past and thought why aren't they going for it? Suppose some players just don't fancy it.
As a player you put yourself on the world stage like Kerkez, Huijsen, MGW, Evanlison etc etc.
22 Jul 2025 18:30:36
Apparently Arias is in Paris for his medical. Wolves are doing it there while they await his UK visa.
He'll probably be here in a couple of days.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 19:48:12
I can see 4 more coming LB, CB, CM and FW.
Who would everyone like to come is the question?
LB: Lino, Reguilon
CB: Renan, Martins
CM: Gallagher, Raskin
FW: Elliott, Yuri Alberto, Aghehowa
Please note I think on top of these 4 signings I think there will be some loans coming in, as if Hwang, Guedes and possibly Silva are sold it would leave us short.
My reasoning for this is the signings above with Lopes and Arias literally replace the players that left at the end of the season: Dawson, RAN, Semedo, Sarabia and Cunha. This is before Doyle and Traore have since left.
So these signings are literally replenishing the squad before further sales can be made.
On another note there is a few players out there that may be tempting to make an offer on Diomande (Sporting), Victor Nelsson (Galatasaray) and Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) some a bit out there but links with Diomande and Akliouche. Nelsson isn't happy at Galatasaray.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 20:57:01
I agree Madman with the positions to fill and some good ideas there. Another forward to add to the mix is Garnacho, united have put a £40mil price tag on him, as we sold them cunha a deal could be made
3.) 23 Jul 2025 06:24:37
Stretch5 Garnacho is on big money at MU Wolves have no chance and not at 40mill.
15 Jun 2025 12:18:50
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.
UTW
6.) 15 Jun 2025 22:40:55
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

It's fair to say that Wolves were expected to win that one, but in fairness that was a walkover. Yes they're (at the moment) two divisions below us but that result on top of progressively improving performances since the Villa game surely isn't just down to player confidence. How much of it is down to playing style, team selection and tactics.
I always felt that Edwards was a typical Shi (1st) cheap appointment but I'm beginning to believe I owe someone an apology. Once he got to know his players things began to change and as mentioned before the arrival of Silva on the coaching team contributing to this process. As much as I felt Jeff Shi needed to go did he actually get this one right?
Even in this game there were a few sloppy moves that caused angst including a penalty but irrespective of that let's hope they can carry some of this into the Prem.
04 Jan 2026 10:02:58
The progressive improvement in both results and performances continues which is a good thing and it's probably fair to say that the West Ham game came at the perfect time for us as they are/were pretty woeful. However, I saw a desire to get forward, compete and be clinical in front of goal, that could have been 5-0 by half time if not for their 'keeper.
What's also pleasing that on the back of two improved performances away they did that at home which was becoming a monkey on their back, no doubt. So a flash in the pan or onwards and upwards, can they maintain this improvement against sides higher up the table? I tend to think it's the latter as the team selections now make sense giving players the opportunity to play with more confidence and effect, WHC for example.
I always believed that any team needs a talisman player, someone who'll take the initiative and use their ability to inspire those around them to 'keep up'. After so much talk about Wolves failing to replace Cunha who would have thought they would find the solution within their own youth setup? Mane is a revelation and in my opinion will only get better so how long before the vultures start to circle? That will be the acid test for Fosun who claim they want to help and Nathan Shi whose comments implied a new dawn at Wolves.
Too little, too late, maybe, but good performances will enthuse the fans and reward their loyalty as God knows they've suffered enough. However, as the secondary cause of our demise has now gone, although the jury is still out for me on the primary cause, will we now see a period of steady but progressive growth? Matt Jackson is highly rated within the football world so will he get some backing, will this January window be busy or will changes be minor but effective?
As usual so many questions based around an understandable uncertainty even distrust of our owners, an atmosphere created by Fosun and increasingly aggravated by Jeff Shi before his removal. So the foundations are starting to take shape on the pitch but will the owners facilitate further improvement and create a period of stability in the management structure as we've had too much hire and fire under Shi the first both on and off the pitch, imo.
So is this window critical and should it be viewed as an indication of Fosun's sincerity?
1.) 04 Jan 2026 11:00:24
Great Post longmynd, my only questions to the 'improvement' yesterday against, and let's be honest, a very poor WH, is are/were players putting that little extra in because of the impending window and opportunity to jump ship?
Maybe RE has got his messages across and finally found the right attitude and balance?
If he has, what chance does he have of keeping/finding players to maintain it?
I'm not wanting to put doom and gloom on things so early after our first win in 20 odd prem games but equally I don't want to be over optimistic.
I don't think Fosuns stance will have changed, I can only think we'll be taking steps backward by Feb and that finding our feet again will take time.
So let's all enjoy what and when we can, let's hope we carry on the current confidence at Everton.
The goal now is get more points than Derby's low, and not finish bottom.
Whatever, COYW forever.
2.) 04 Jan 2026 20:27:52
Totally agree with that last line Abbeywolf. We need to be realistic and look at small steps. We are in a unique position in some ways now. Relegation remains the most likely outcome by far, but if we go down on a "high", fighting our fate all the way, then that will stand us in good stead for the future.
03 Jan 2026 15:46:44
Bloody hell have I been transported into a different reality.
1.) 03 Jan 2026 17:07:51
I honestly didn't think I would see that this season.
01 Jan 2026 18:10:06
Right, Xmas and New Year are over and my mini break from posting, plus the removal of Jeff Shi, has re-enthused me and encouraged me to start commenting on here again. I for one will take Nathan Shi's word's on face value, certainly until the end of this window, which may yet put me back into hibernation if it's another cock up.
Now given that nothing really improved when RE first took over from VP am I reading too much into the return of
Rui Pedro Silva as Assistant Head Coach. It's fair to say performances have improved since his return so was he the power behind Nuno's throne and is he starting to have a similar impact working with RE.
After all Nuno always praised his backroom staff insisting that much of the original turnaround at Wolves was down to them. We've seen a progressive improvement in the last three matches culminating in the draw at Man U, plus a better showing against Liverpool. So is that the RE effect, the RPS effect or a bit of both?
Probably, all too late, of course, unless the wheels come off three other teams and we suddenly turn a corner thanks to some inspired sales and signings this month but it would at least give the paying fans something to cheer.
1.) 01 Jan 2026 20:58:59
Welcome back longmynd and a
happy new year to ya.
Gawd knows what's going to happen in the next few weeks, have we started looking more of a team due to wantaways putting more in or due to RE et al.
as suggested?
The team will have to be cobbled together again over January into Feb I'd imagine, but it'll be interesting to see how it happens.
2.) 02 Jan 2026 15:04:26
I don't think we should hold our breath for an exciting transfer period.
Not sure who is charge of the Club at the moment.
In previous seasons, Guangchang has come over and authorised signings, when things were bad. Doesn't look like he is coming this time.
At best it will be sell before we buy, which usually means new faces don't arrive until late, sadly then no time to be integrated.
I think we will have to wait until the summer to see if we are being allowed to re-build.
3.) 02 Jan 2026 17:32:39
Be a mad dash on the final day as usual.then bring no improvement again.heyho
4.) 02 Jan 2026 18:58:21
Welcome back Longmynd. Sadly I think that we cannot trust Fosun to do what is necessary. They have presided over the demise of our club for 3 years. They have sold our best players, and put us into a shameful position which has only one outcome. I see no change to their intention in this transfer window.
20 Dec 2025 08:54:32
I know I've said I'll be taking a break from posting but recent events are something I never saw coming, is this, however, good and bad news? Firstly, Jeff leaving is potentially great news albeit too late for this season, but does his replacement just confirm the view that Fosun are going nowhere, certainly not for the foreseeable future? Apparently, Guo was not impressed with Shi's latest interview and must have finally realised that he had become a devisive figure at Wolves. As head of the Fosun Sports Group, however, will he still control Wolves funding?
So in comes Nathan Shi (no relation) as an interim CEO/Chairman but what does that mean? Are Fosun seeking someone more permanent from a football background to lead a change in management style or just more of the same? Is Shi II just a temporary clone or will Fosun redouble their efforts to recover their failing relationship with the fans? This of course, is critical if they are to repair their reputation, something that is vital if they intend to retain ownership of the club.
Do they intend to do more in terms of financial support and even investment in the infrastructure as touched on by Shi 1 in his latest car crash interview? Do Fosun now realise that it's their policies that have primarily lead to our now perilous predicament and they have to do more, much more, to repair the reputational damage they have inflicted on themselves?
So many questions but as yet only one answered, yes, the removal of Shi I is a Xmas present but is it step one in a new era or just a smoke screen, a short term appeasement of the fans to deflect the 'Fosun Out' protests and minimise the bad publicity we're now seeing in the media on a national level? Shi gets the job he's wanted for years but what do we get? I for one will be watching with interest, as the jury is still out for me. In the meantime have a good Xmas everyone, at least Santa has brought us some good news.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 09:23:00
Good analysis as always Long. My simplistic analysis is thank God you’ve gone Jeff, your replacement couldn’t possibly be worse.
2.) 20 Dec 2025 09:35:05
Hi longmynd, your term smokescreen is exactly the term I was thinking of when I posted beck to MoW earlier.
Jeff showed himself up in the interview on radio, the council confirmed that in their response.
The chanting on live TV will have been noted and Fosun have taken him off the front line, he's not left or relinquished real responsibility at the club as I read it.
This poor lad Nathan Shi is there to deflect the anger and the worst thing fans could do is ease up on getting Fosun out, or quieten the protests down.
OK, we could win today, Nathan could issue a statement laying out the future and we might be happy in that knowledge for the short term.
But we must not let that deflect from what Fosun has let happen to us.
Yes I think it's a smokescreen to squash the 'noise', a temporary dressing to take the sting out of our anger.
Hope I'm wrong, but honestly?.
3.) 20 Dec 2025 11:14:28
I personally Bally don’t think it’s a smoke screen, More that Fosun have finally realised the decline under his stewardship and have bit the bullet, they don’t want to sell the club and admit defeat, the only way to get fans back on side is to do as asked the last while and get Shi out, that's a start in my opinion in trying to Fix a problem they have ignored for a long while for whatever reason that none of us will ever know.
Today is a great time for the fans to come together, no chanting against the board, only chanting for the team, We got an early Christmas present with Shi going, so let drive on and get 3 points today and show Fosun why they bought the club in first place…. FWAW
4.) 20 Dec 2025 11:15:56
Laurie Darymple should be first name on list to replace Shi too
13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
31 Oct 2025 11:42:25
Does it matter who they get in if VP goes Rated. Who ever it is they will go the same way in 12 months time as the previous 6 after Shi/Fosun have decimated their squad next Summer.
Buy in a couple of has been's in January, a bit off new Manager bounce, hopefully survive, then repeat. Pathetic!
27 Oct 2025 10:14:43
I think that should be 'ruining of the Club' Rugeley.
27 Oct 2025 10:13:24
Would that be £400M that he hasn't got.
17 Jan 2026 10:17:30
The problem being RonsSon, it may be more than one season.
16 Jan 2026 18:43:18
I'm sure that even they can see relegation is nailed on but I hope they're planning to sell.
14 Jan 2026 10:33:55
In all honesty Oxley did you really expect anything different. I said before I'd take his words on face value for the time being but the January window would tell us more.
I don't really blame this fella as he's here temporarily to do Shanghai's bidding unlike Jeff Shi who sold everyone a pup for years dragging us down to where we are now.
So far, no incomings, but then again none going out apart from the odd loan, we'll see.
07 Jan 2026 10:38:09
Funnily enough I was only thinking this morning that almost a year has gone by from when we were told that the Premier Leagues findings over the City investigation were due to be published.
Anyone heard any more?

Probably working on an alternative to Jeff Shi's transfer plans now he's gone Adam. That of course was to sell off anyone that would fetch a decent price then spend the last week of the window buying anyone that would come.
I still think this window may surprise a few, not so much by who they buy in but more by who doesn't leave. One or two either way max, imo.
