I read and hear (though we all know not to trust rumours) that Arsenal have bid amongst a few Prem Clubs for our Welsh international Academy player Brayden Clarke.
And after 7 years with us he seems to be going and happy to do so.
I just wonder if he's such a promising talent why we would let him go?
No idea if true or the fees, but presumably we have a good deal of control of the situation and surely if he's such a prospect we should be keeping him and making every effort to do so
Thoughts or info anybody?
1.) 04 Mar 2024 09:40:46
There could be any number of reasons why he wants to go. Arsenal are a bigger club than us and maybe he has been promised game time, or he wants to live nearer the Capital.
Look at Cole Palmer. Could have been a squad player at Man City and guarantee trophies or move to Chelsea and start every game and develop even further.

Yes Jas, but we are talking Wolves here, not Man C, if he's good enough for our 1st team squad ( who knows), doesn't mean he's automatically good enough for Arsenal 1st team squad and game time does it.
.and why aren't wolves fighting tooth and nail to keep him if he's that good, and ours already.
( Though personally I have to admit I'd never heard of him before this)
3.) 04 Mar 2024 14:56:20
Apparently, there is no compensation involved. He can move as a free agent.
4.) 04 Mar 2024 15:13:54
How do you know that they aint?
Maybe he doesn't fit Gary O'Neil's plans, maybe Arsenal plan to loan him out for a few years like they did Nketiah. We just don't know.
Remember that over the last 3 years we have lost youngsters to Liverpool and Man City but not heard from them since.
If he wants to go then let him because why should we hold onto a player who doesn't want to be here.

Will we have ANY money to spend in the summer window WITHOUT player sales?
And where from?
Sure we will have TV money, ticket sales, some commercial income.
But isn't all that taken up with player salaries, stage payments for current players and commitments to buy (eg Doyle. - though that's not compulsory), our great Chairmans modest salary (£600k last I heard).
So unless we sell, or Fosun chip in (unlikely and ffp?).will we have any money to spend?
1.) 23 Feb 2024 10:58:19
About 2 weeks ago, it was revealed that the Wolves salary was £35m per year.
We will get approx £135 in PL prize money so that leave £100m.
There is also the sponsorship, gate receipt money and merchandise money to take into consideration as well as any money owed to us for players we have sold.
Out of this will be fees we owe for players bought etc.
But if Gary O'Neil has come out this week and stated that we don't need to sell in order to buy, it would suggest tat we'll have some money to spend.
2.) 23 Feb 2024 17:28:48
Have a look for a guy called Stefan Borson on YouTube. He's a football finance expert, he used to advise Man City. He gives very a clear explanation on PSF (formerly FFP), it's pitfalls, and inconsistencies.
Very interesting watch, though I have to warn you, football finance expert Simon Jordan also features. So you'll have to suffer his hyperbole and musings.

".Wolverhampton Wanderers spends a total of £51.21 million on players annual payroll as of fiscal year ending June 30, 2022."

I think we may be getting Danny Ings on Loan.any good if we keep him.out of sick bay?
1.) 03 Jan 2024 15:29:38
As long as there is no commitment to buy, not really set the world on fire at WHU or Villa, but may suit GON fast counterattack style of play. I Would like him to earn the move if he does sign.
2.) 03 Jan 2024 16:55:45
Saddly you've answered ya own question Rollo. If it was possible to keep him out of sick bay he probs would have made it at every other club he's been at. No one can question his finishing, his fitness on the other hand has always been a problem!
3.) 03 Jan 2024 20:59:14
Indeed. But if it's only a loan, with Def no commitment to buy, and depending if GON and Hobbs have other irons in the fire, he might be worth the risk for 6 months
4.) 04 Jan 2024 15:07:30
Just saw this rumour about some sort of swap deal involving Kilman Ings and Cresswell. Hope that's all it is, because neither Cresswell or Ings are worth taking a chance on in my book, especially not some form of leverage to get Kilman.
5.) 04 Jan 2024 17:35:19
They'd have to pay us extra to take those two! One for Beano readers only I think.
31 Aug 2023 17:22:46
3 in including Doyle now.
Rumour says we are after Reed from Fulham.
If he's any good why would they sell him?
1.) 31 Aug 2023 17:33:25
You can ask your question to virtually every club in the world, Rollo.There can be a whole host of different and combined reasons.
2.) 31 Aug 2023 17:54:28
I agree with Old, you could apply that logic to any transfer business! It would seem that mantra only really works for the top four clubs I'm afraid. I have to be honest I've never been that impressed by Reed, always looked like a champ player for me. Having said that I do trust that Hobbs obvs has a better eye for such things than me, so if GON wants him then he deserves to (finally:) get some backing. My actual worry is the price, cause the going rate for Champ Cms seems to have got to the crazy level of £20m and at that price there's a LOT of options on the continent, but like I say Hobbs obvs knows far more than us ?
3.) 31 Aug 2023 17:56:01
Agreed Wulf.
But I was just asking the specific if anyone had a view on him or why that's all
4.) 31 Aug 2023 18:09:06
Che Adams looking likely! Could be the perfect partner for Sasa.
5.) 31 Aug 2023 18:53:26
Agreed Pikey.I like Adams and he's got 3 goals already
6.) 31 Aug 2023 18:55:33
Saints have signed a striker for 10m.
Adams could be available.
7.) 31 Aug 2023 20:04:22
Looking at the highlight clips on YouTube, all three, Doyle, Enzo and Santiago Bueno look decent players, once they are all embedded we may be on the verge of a new style of filth at the Mol. It's getting exciting now, who is that bloke we are selling to Citeh again?
8.) 01 Sep 2023 11:00:27
I'd trust our scouting team more than YouTube though Mister because virtually any professional should be able to produce a reel of brilliance over a minute or so. Who was that potential world beater Norwegian lad we bought around a decade ago who scored a couple of worldies which featured prominently on his YouTube video?
15 Jul 2023 14:21:13
Is it true Sanderson has now signed to move to Blues permanently?
If so what was the fee for our coffers?
1.) 15 Jul 2023 15:37:23
E&S reported during the week the fee is £2m + add ons.
04 Jul 2023 16:50:46
I'm with most others here concerned at selling not the ones we expected (and hope) were going but the ones we have and now potentially Killman (too cheap?) as well.
And yes we all hope (and trust) Lopi and Hobbs have incomings on track and will assuage our worries.
A name I'd like to throw I to the pot - for money raising, and replacement - is Cunha. lot of money spent on him, and I don't see that value anywhere in what he has brought to us.
I've never rated him - certainly at anywhere near that price!A lot would excuse him as not a big goalscorer. So.?at that price?
If we could get that price back I'd get rid tomorrow - and use that and other money to get some real goalscoring up front. Not as if we've obviously so desperately needed it for a couple of years is it!
1.) 04 Jul 2023 17:33:56
Whilst I think we paid a lot for Cunha to be honest it doesn't really matter what I think or who does or does not rate him. What matters is the fact that he was a signing made under the new regime (Lope and Hobbs) with that in mind I think there's no chance we will even be considering letting him go. If Lope starts to get rid of the players HE choose after less than 6 months then we really won't have any players left! Besides Lope clearly rates him and frankly that's good enough for me, after all Lope is the one who will lose his job if he get such decisions wrong.y
2.) 04 Jul 2023 17:44:24
Both Cunha and Nunes have contributed very little to date they
Cost round 80 million I believe, so vast improvement from both
is needed.
3.) 04 Jul 2023 18:38:59
Well they did contribute to the club staying in the Prem so l wouldn't be too harsh on them. They now have a full season ahead of them to show what they can do with the shackles off.
4.) 04 Jul 2023 18:42:08
tbh guys I think it's too early to make a decision on Cunha, arrive in a relegation battle, not a great way to start. A new pre season and we will see hopefully a settled player ready to deliver.
Regarding Kilman I do like him as a player but every one has a price. If the club are happy with the fee then you can do a lot with that money. A couple of Craig Dawson's at 3m each would be ok. Another of Lemina standard 5m. It could make a difference!
5.) 04 Jul 2023 18:54:54
I agree Norfolk, but surely they will both flourish next season where there will be not the issues in the camp of last season.
Agree with BullysBoy cunha only signed in January by lopetegui and
I think j.gomes will be
absolutely a world beater for us very high hopes for him.
B.Traore all being well he too can flourish.
With 5 subs rule can ease Sasa back into action.
Chiquinho/cunha/Neto an option as it stands.
6.) 04 Jul 2023 19:10:29
A full season in JL's hands. I am looking forward to seeing his philosophy on the game, his system and with one of the toughest starts to the season the character of who is there and who he brings in. Even after50+ years I am quite excited, a little anxious but pretty sure that it will be a good season. I think we just have to watch the space.
7.) 04 Jul 2023 19:52:54
I agree Norfolk that both Cunha and Nunes have a lot to improve and give.
I can see that Nunes has the quality and ability to be v v good - just hope he now delivers for us for that money.
Havnt seen similar qualities from Cunha.
I'd love to be be proved wrong.but we will see.
04 Mar 2024 13:09:19
Yes Jas, but we are talking Wolves here, not Man C, if he's good enough for our 1st team squad ( who knows), doesn't mean he's automatically good enough for Arsenal 1st team squad and game time does it.

15 Aug 2023 21:00:09
Happy to Rated.
All I'd say is just read ed02 responses.so who's trash and writing and with an attitude like that?
.from an editor .
15 Aug 2023 11:07:08
If you'd actually seen ed2 responses and attitude, you would know why ED1 is far more what we need Tommo
{Ed002's Note - And it is brain dead trash like you which means nothing gets shared with the site in respect of transfer interest.}
14 Aug 2023 16:42:24
I think Ed 01 1s far more reasonable and helpful
{Ed002's Note - Then the answer is a clear no and I am sure you can get details of the players WW are interested in from Ed001.}
25 Jul 2023 17:26:49
QS - that was back in May surely?
20 Apr 2024 07:50:58
You know the answer to that.
All to suit the big clubs to ease their Euro congestion and get the big money.
Disgusting, but what else to you expect.
08 Apr 2024 11:06:25
Entirely agree with you Slinger and Phil ?
03 Jan 2024 20:59:14
Indeed. But if it's only a loan, with Def no commitment to buy, and depending if GON and Hobbs have other irons in the fire, he might be worth the risk for 6 months
03 Dec 2023 19:08:00
Agree BFG.
How we missed those midfield 2!
03 Dec 2023 19:01:57
So sad out E &S decision.
Their loss if so many if us!
As you say - we WILL find the stuff - but elsewhere.
Their loss - but sad
I really like Liam Keen. Judah lightweight.
Expect Liam to move on. He deserves it
