Spiers just tweeted - Wolves are on the verge of signing Brazilian striker Willian Jose (age 29) on loan from Real Sociedad. Will include an option to buy. Scored 40 in last 3 and a bit seasons in La Liga. Giroud-type striker.
Club have acted after last 2 results.
1.) 20 Jan 2021 18:21:09
That would be a great signing! Hell of a player who can play as striker or link up man in the hole when Rauls back (from what I've seen/ heard) I'd be interested to know what the optional fee is because they wanted big money for him not long ago?! Happy days 👍.
2.) 20 Jan 2021 18:40:00
Just been confirmed on Black SKY.
3.) 20 Jan 2021 18:41:34
Scored Forty in last three? I’m a bit confused by this statistic (I know it’s a copy and paste from Britney’s Twitter) Can someone explain what this means? #ClassicDebbie.
4.) 20 Jan 2021 18:42:13
At last! Possibly available for the Man U game.
5.) 20 Jan 2021 19:02:01
Was that tongue in cheek Golden? Last game of the season.
Seriously will he have to isolate?
6.) 20 Jan 2021 19:05:44
In one way feels desperate and rushed, in another they’ve acted on what’s needed. His record isn’t bad, I like he’s same style to Raul and will be more of a target man in the box. I still can’t help but feel now is the time with Jonny returning soon to go back to 5-2-3!
7.) 20 Jan 2021 19:06:37
Possibly an issue with work permit. Hope not, can't ptetend I know much about him, but from what I have seen, i'm excited. Playing tonight, apparently.
8.) 20 Jan 2021 19:32:55
Hes scored tonight!
I think he will be really good for us. Proper aerial threat.
9.) 20 Jan 2021 19:39:18
He's been in and out of the team but has scored tonight in the cup.
10.) 20 Jan 2021 19:40:52
You'd imagine that a deal isn't that close if he's playing tonight.
11.) 20 Jan 2021 19:51:09
Make that two goals tonight.
12.) 20 Jan 2021 20:00:46
Last one from me. Watched it back absolute screamer tonight the second one.
Very little celebration too.
13.) 20 Jan 2021 20:07:09
Old- I know what you mean and I thought the same thing. I suppose as its initially a loan the chances are the same for him to get injured and scupper the deal weather he's playing for us or for them?! Maybe we agreed to it because we want him getting match fit whilst waiting for a work permit?! I hope so cause I think he has just the quality/ experience that we need right now 👍.
14.) 20 Jan 2021 20:42:53
40 in 3 and a bit seasons Debbie lol.
15.) 20 Jan 2021 21:08:45
Cheers Rated! 40 in three games would’ve been a great run :)
16.) 20 Jan 2021 21:52:30
Didn't he have a deal agreed to go to Spurs a couple of seasons back?! Hopefully that fell down cause of Levy being Levy rather than work permit issues, fingers crossed 🤞.
17.) 20 Jan 2021 21:54:41
Womborn, yep just thinking how often Nuno signs new players then doesn't play them for half the season! Podence springs to mind!
02 Dec 2020 19:16:20
Judah just tweeted this.
Raul Jimenez update
The news everyone had hoped and prayed for from club doctor Matt Perry:
"We are delighted with the reports from his specialist; he has made excellent progress. He should be ready to leave hospital by early next week. ".
1.) 02 Dec 2020 21:41:59
Think it's all going as well as it probably could of, this far anyway He deserves some good fortune for the class act he is. Still imagine he's out for the season.
2.) 02 Dec 2020 21:51:09
Great news let's hope this isn't a career finisher.
3.) 03 Dec 2020 04:46:24
From what's been said so far seems like that won't be the case. Early doors obviously. he's openly said he wants to be back soon.
Big issue with these types of injury from the little I know is internal damage to the brain. Not the crack to the skull itself Tears and what not deeper down. Fact he is been released from hospital this early would say is a good sign. His scans must be positive for that to happen.
4.) 03 Dec 2020 06:30:19
That’s great news, football is secondary to everything else in this instance. Wishing you a speedy recovery Raul.
5.) 03 Dec 2020 08:46:36
I read an article on Sunday evening from a specialist who helped Petr Cech and Ryan Mason. He wrote that the skull fracture will heal after about 3 weeks but the main concern is where on the skull the fracture is and the impact it had on the brain. The fracture itself is not the problem but the impact on the brain will need to be monitored over at least 3 months to see if there is any damage.
6.) 03 Dec 2020 16:32:52
Leaving hospital is great news, everything so far is positive. Fingers crossed the next few months are equally positive. He is a real leader on the pitch, and pray for him to be fit and ready to bang in plenty next season. Rather he gets 100% well before playing again.
7.) 03 Dec 2020 22:54:12
Good news and he needs to take all the time he needs imagine challenging high balls now? Also a danger opponents will challenge him in the air because it's him.
12 Nov 2020 22:50:55
Spiers tweeted Coady came into contact with someone who has C.V. hence why he wasn't playing tonight.
05 Nov 2020 14:03:55
Coady called up again as he should be, heard Kilman is on standby too.
1.) 05 Nov 2020 21:48:24
Pedro Neto first full international call up too Rated.
2.) 05 Nov 2020 23:35:06
Boly too now mate Ivory Coast.
3.) 06 Nov 2020 08:24:59
He hasn't bothered to turn up on previous occasions, Rated.
4.) 06 Nov 2020 09:00:41
Think Podence should of been for sure. Even over Neto tbf.
5.) 11 Nov 2020 22:17:50
Neto scored 8 mins into his debut it's the Wolves effect lol.
02 Oct 2020 14:32:46
From Britney Spiers on Twitter - Ruben Vinagre is set to leave Wolves, looks like he's off to Olympiakos.
I'm told Wolves will sign French left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, aged 19, from Angers to replace Vinagre in the squad. Loan deal with an option to buy.
1.) 02 Oct 2020 15:18:21
Maybe in lieu of payments we still owe for Daniel Podence, just a thought.
2.) 02 Oct 2020 15:23:55
2020 summed up! as stated below 'this is the weirdest transfer window"
3.) 02 Oct 2020 16:05:25
I've said it once before this summer. it's the borussia dortmund model we seem to be following of present. Buying the young wonderkids selling them for a premium down the line.
Whether that translates to that level of success I'm not sure.
4.) 02 Oct 2020 16:38:43
I wouldn't complain if we become as successful as Dortmund.
5.) 02 Oct 2020 16:52:06
Our squad for the Fulham game on Sunday would tell us if there are any major departures! Can't think we would risk a player if he's leaving on Monday! The prime worry would be Jimenez or Traore. It's not that we need the money, we don't. It's more about a player relishing a move to a higher placed club either here or abroad. I think Doherty and Jota were examples of this. Fingers crossed.
6.) 02 Oct 2020 16:52:32
I think your spot on there Tom, we are basically using Portugal (and occasionally France) the same way Dortmund are using England! Go hard for the best young talent we think we can get and use the long term financial gains to improve the team. Its a risky model no doubt, but if done well (like Dortmund have) then you end up with quality youngsters opting for your club because they know they will play/ develop. Look at Haaland, he had many of the biggest clubs chasing him and he went with Dortmund cause he knew he could make his name there. Yes he will probs move once he does but I suspect they will make at least £80m+ profit when he does!
Also let's be honest most were saying on here after the last game that Vinagre isn't good enough defensively (something I wouldn't disagree with) so for me it's great business! We switched a player Nuno already feels isn't up to it (long term) for a younger player who he clearly thinks could be! It is a weird window indeed and it will be a tough one for the club to sell positevly cause most of the gains won't be seen this season. For me I think its great! I always liked clubs that trusted and developed young talent, never thought I'd see the day when we would manage to attract such high calibre youngsters! COWY 🐺.
7.) 02 Oct 2020 16:54:35
Whats happening with Alex Telles?
8.) 02 Oct 2020 18:01:21
Telles is in talks with Penchester United apparantly (Manchester United) .
9.) 02 Oct 2020 18:28:06
We still need a midfielder I think.
10.) 02 Oct 2020 19:04:13
On a well known betting site, we're now clear favourites to sign Costa, will it happen?
11.) 02 Oct 2020 19:13:13
You're right guys, Telles is in talks with Penalty United. As some have noted, this is a weird window for Wolves, a ground-breaker in fact in my view. From ancient history, right up until last season, we signed players to gradually improve the team, and/ or get money in (Moxey selling Afobe comes to mind) . This window is not about improving the team gradually and strategically this season. If it was, we would have only strengthened in certain positions. Now it's all about juggling, trading players, shuffling the pack, making risky investments in young players (at the expense of experience) that might give us mega profits in the future. In footballing terms we've become like a puppy farm. That's fine if we improve our final league placing season after season, but it's giving Nuno huge headaches in assimilating inexperienced youngsters into the first team. These investments can only pay off if the kids are in the first team. Fabio Silva might notch up 25 goals for us this season and we might sell him for £100 mil, but the kids in our defence might be shipping goals at the same time. We're not growing organically like Liverpool (the Jota signing is classic Liverpool strategy, a player already proven in the PL) . What we're doing is like playing the stock market or the casino.
12.) 02 Oct 2020 19:20:27
I think the Douglas Costa one is just paper talk.
13.) 02 Oct 2020 19:21:25
No chance. need a midfielder not another winger.
14.) 02 Oct 2020 19:52:22
Deep - worrying? And is it really necessary?
15.) 02 Oct 2020 21:17:22
Apparently telles transfer to utd on hold as utd want to pay 10mil, not the 25 or the drop to 20,then 15,come on wolves step in quickly.
16.) 02 Oct 2020 21:38:43
Typical arrogant Utd. Depends if he'd come to us doesn't it?
17.) 02 Oct 2020 21:48:33
I suppose so ken, don't know who they think they are, is it Woodward or what, makes me think they not fully behind solksjar, there loss if they don't get him.
We should hammer Fulham shouldn't we?
18.) 02 Oct 2020 23:16:34
It would be nice if we did. It would paper over some cracks that need to be filled! There big lad up front could cause a bit of trouble but if we can't beat them comfortably then we should be concerned.
19.) 03 Oct 2020 09:26:15
Fulham will be no easy game, they had a hateful of chances against villa, Mitrovic missed loads of headers which he normally puts away, they play a lot of high crosses for him to get onto to, so we will need to be at our beat to take points, Prem has no easy games, so we need to be patient.
20.) 03 Oct 2020 10:47:31
Need striker, midfielder box to box, and defender not wing backs all the time how many wing backs have we.
21.) 03 Oct 2020 16:29:34
Heard rumour Rayan Ait Nouri had opted for Valencia. If true then Vinagre will not be moved on. Not a reliable source but he had both clubs chasing him and Mendez works closely with both.
22.) 03 Oct 2020 19:18:46
Surely you still sell Vinagre - at that price it is a great deal - and if the French boy won't come invest the money elsewhere. Telles (? ) Saka (? ) Alonso (? ) if LWBs needed. But isn't Marcal set to play there and With Otto back in the New year we will be well set there.
Personally I'd take the cash and not buy a new LWB but maybe take a box to box CM - big strong but comfortable on the ball. - LC from Chelsea (although I gather only available on loan) that would buy the time to allow Vitor to be eased into the Moutingho role without too much pressure and Moutinho out without us losing too many points!
23.) 03 Oct 2020 19:50:42
Thefutureisoldgold, I'm with you midfield player in before Monday or a couple of weeks if English. That would make me very happy. As the wife would say I'm easy pleased. LC would be great!
24.) 03 Oct 2020 20:56:04
Read this eve that the French lad is coming and for circa £13m
IF we are selling for north of £20m we could still pay a loan fee and wages for LC from the change?
25.) 03 Oct 2020 21:53:06
That would be great. Let's hope someone like that comes in.
26.) 04 Oct 2020 00:13:00
Deep Throat - if it is giving Nuno headaches, why is he doing it? It is him and Mendes who are doing the buying and selling. Jeff is just signing the cheques.
27.) 04 Oct 2020 19:53:13
Timmy - v good q.
The upside is vast - if just one of the kids becomes as good as some on here believe and we therefore sell for £100m Fosun make a massive profit BUT the downside is what we are seeing over the last 3 games i. e. the first 11 is not only not getting stronger it is actually getting weaker.
I agree Nuno must be onside with this as I can't imagine any manager being willing to risk the present for the owners future profit but it is brave to say the least.
However this would indicate that Nuno is in for the long run and Jimenez signing a new contract is also a v positive sign of his believe in the future at Wolves?

What about Cantwell from Norwich? Hearing £14million is their asking price.
1.) 18 Jan 2021 16:01:33
I think it's time now we did start looking at English/ British players. No offence but sides in Portugal don't have 6/ 7 Portuguese starters.
One player I would move for is James Milner. Someone who can take a game by the scruff of the neck.
2.) 18 Jan 2021 17:21:33
Really, I'm surprised by that. If anyone has ever heard Norwich fans talk about him then he's basically there version MGW. In so much as half the fans rate him and half don't. I mean he's hardly pulling up trees in the Champ is he?! What do you make of him Rated, am I missing something buddy? 👍
James Milner on the other hand, now there's a player! Think he's still out of our budget mind (contract wise) sadly. Would be a perfect replacement for Moutinho though 🐺.
3.) 18 Jan 2021 18:57:31
Sorry to disagree, Milner has been a great pro always reliable but imo hardly a game changer. At 35 we would gain nothing, on the other hand Cantwell is a very talented player although can be frustrating at times, as I live in Norfolk and my lad is a Norwich supporter and I know a lot of other Norwich fans they certainly don’t give me the impression they think any such thing, frustrating yes, MGW “Was “a very talented youngster but with social media and countless other distractions he’s lost the plot could find his way again but don’t hold your breath.
4.) 18 Jan 2021 19:22:42
I like him Bullys mate he tends to cover a lot of the pitch and surrounded by good players he knows where the net is too £14million is a decent price too.
Milner I honestly do not like he is dirty but on the flip side he isn't afraid to get gritty and tough if need be, but he is Liverpool through and through so we have no chance I imagine.
5.) 18 Jan 2021 22:32:01
At £14m he is priced v attractively? Did well in a bad side last year and def knows how to get forward. Skilful, energetic, quick, good eye for goal. Are you sure about the £14m?
Apparently according to News Now articles he is playing ok still?
A site called the boot room says that Norwich would not accept £30m which Leeds are allegedly mooting?
Not the finished article but at 22 he is still young.
6.) 19 Jan 2021 12:49:18
Yes future mate my mate is a Norwich fan and said they'd accept around £14million as they're struggling finacially, I was shocked tbh as I remember them saying no to Ledds £32million.
Maybe C.V. has hit them quite hard or my mate misheard it and it's actually £40million?
7.) 19 Jan 2021 15:46:49
Well in which case I would say it was worth asking the Q.
Although Vitor hasn't really been given a chance and MGW has a pedigree, (he isn't living up to), Cantwell on last seasons form would appear to be a major upgrade on both?
At that price he would aslo be a lot cheaper than Vitor?
Plus as an Englishman I assume he would help our home grown quota?
17 Jan 2021 23:32:58
Well Chorley have shot themselves in the foot promising to boing boing if WBA fans buy loads of virtual tickets, loads of Wolves fans on various forums now saying they was going to buy a ticket but not now.
1.) 18 Jan 2021 08:18:20
Well, I have just bought a virtual ticket. Anything to help the
non league clubs. I don't have much money but can just about afford £10.
17 Jan 2021 19:44:48
Looking back at yesterday now the red mist has cleared i honestly think the players and Nuno didn't know how big of a match yesterday was.
MGW is a local lad he should have known and drummed it into the others but instead he faffs around on instagram 15 minutes after the match.
I've called for 4231 but we need a full pre season to test that properly we need to go back to basics 343 or 532 imo

17 Jan 2021 19:22:35
Right to put a positive spin on things we're halfway through the season on 22 points with players still to return, if 40 is a survival target we are well on track for survival.
I'm sure Fosun will kick on with things in the Summer and the investment will come big time then.
This month we'll prob get one or two loans in but King has cropped back up and a fee of £10million so it's possible we might be going in for him.
Remember 5 years ago we were in league 1.
1.) 17 Jan 2021 20:01:57
People need to remember that this is the first blip in over 3 years. Yes we've looked poor at times but we have had significant injuries to key players in a short space of time.
Nuno has tried to evolve our style of play with a depleted squad and fair play, but it hasn't worked with the available players. Added to that we have lost out in games to some massively deflected goals - not necessarily bad defending or lack of desire to defend. When things don't work out things tend to snowball and I do think that has been compounded by poor refereeing and VAR decisions recently.
Yesterday was poor, no doubt about it and I am concerned, but Nuno has earned the right to put it right and everyone needs to get behind the team.
I don't like some of our recent transfers and I agree we have left ourselves light up front so some planning mess ups for sure, but the players wearing the shirt need our backing.
My view on formation is a return to a more solid 532.
Patricio
Hoever Coady Boly
Semedo Saiss Neves Dendoncker Ait Nouri
Traore Neto
Hopefully we can bring in a couple of fresh faces and I think bringing Saiss back into midfield will give us more cover and solidity. I can't wait for Jonny's return because I think our current options down the left have been particularly poor. I love Moutinho but I think time is catching up especially after the exertions of last season.
Consolidate this season now, work on a squad overhaul because we clearly need changes and are a squad in transition and mount a push for next season.
The return of fans will make a massive difference because we all know how intimidating Molineux can be when its rocking and how much Nuno has been missing that atmosphere.
2.) 18 Jan 2021 02:49:45
Statto - V good post indeed.

3.) 18 Jan 2021 10:35:59
Marcel never seems to be fit for 2 games in a row, I agree he's a better option than Ait Nouri. I know he's a young lad but I'd have preferred Vinagre in Jonny's absence.
Saiss to return to midfield, give us some steel to allow Neves not to be so restricted and dictate play more with Dendoncker as the box to box man. I'd like to get a fit Podence back in too but at the moment we need to go back to basics, become hard to beat again and start picking up points.
4.) 18 Jan 2021 11:33:54

3.) 17 Jan 2021 17:25:27
So we have a man who won the championship at the first attempt took us to an fa cup semi final Europa league quarter final and 2 seventh place finishes in the premier league. However for a percentage of the fan base this isn’t good enough and they want him gone he is the most successful manager since Mcgarry some 50 odd years ago. Right now he both needs and deserves our total support I’m sure after all he’s earned that. But the dissenting voices are the problem wolves support has always been fickle there’s a percentage only to willing to turn on the team if they not 5 up after 20 minutes I have no doubt if crowds were let back in we wudnt sell out because the part timers attracted by seeing wolves compete with the elite would go back to supporting man ure or liverpool. Finally if fosun do sack nuno I don’t think it would end there mr shi would be looking nervously over his shoulder onwards n upwards keep the faith.

Yes agree. Bigste.
They did say a plan over so many years, plus choping and changing players, has its toll, as with semedo,
Regardless of criticism of him, I think it's come as a bit of a shock to him, playing in prem, but I do see a very good player in him, like I said previous, next season he will be fine, plus we do have some promising youngsters,
So it looks like the futures bright
It was just a big blow Jimenez got a crack on the head off sideshow Bob
So let's go for a cup run,
Sod the league aslong as we stay up
Let Jimenez return next season to be on safe side
Keep the faith Lads 👍👍👍👍.

I don't think any real fan wants Nuno gone, some have suggested giving the bloke a break for a couple of weeks so he can have family time.

Rated my post wasn’t aimed at you as far as I’m aware I’ve never seen a post from you saying that it was aimed at the lynch mob who frequent social media after every defeat Greyleg agree totally with you rated I enjoy reading your posts always constructive.
10.) 17 Jan 2021 19:18:41
Ah yes mate I muted a lot last night on social media in honesty i'm concerned about Nuno in a health way as I posted yesterday I just hope he is ok mentally as he looked really down yesterday.
As someone who suffers with depression i'm spotting similar signs in Nuno as to how mine began.
11.) 17 Jan 2021 20:10:17
Know where your coming from there rated I’m in the same boat but as flights to Portugal are banned he’s shafted sadly.
12.) 18 Jan 2021 02:53:43
Bigste64 - good post. Nuno has more than enough Credit in the bank. I also suspect he is not too blame for some of the major errors made this year and is merely (and not surprisingly given the scale of them) struggling to deal with the plethora of problems that injuries and a misjudged transfer window have brought him.
20 Jan 2021 20:42:53
40 in 3 and a bit seasons Debbie lol.
19 Jan 2021 20:38:17
Utter tosh, if Nuno goes it'll be him walking.
16 Jan 2021 17:59:37
Seriously Avillafan you lot are very lucky to still be in the prem only by failed hawkeye are you there or a brown envelope passed to the officials.
Keep mocking us because FFP is about to bite you hard.

Milner I honestly do not like he is dirty but on the flip side he isn't afraid to get gritty and tough if need be, but he is Liverpool through and through so we have no chance I imagine.

Ah yes mate I muted a lot last night on social media in honesty i'm concerned about Nuno in a health way as I posted yesterday I just hope he is ok mentally as he looked really down yesterday.
As someone who suffers with depression i'm spotting similar signs in Nuno as to how mine began.
