We are after Gomes this summer. Rodrigo being his first name. Winger who plays left and right. Neto replacement?
1.) 04 Mar 2024 21:38:30
Is that rumour still going on? We were linked with him over the summer along with Raphael Veiga.
2.) 04 Mar 2024 22:37:36
Just been confirmed on express and star that we are eyeing up a summer swoop.
3.) 05 Mar 2024 06:35:41
A striker would be better?
4.) 05 Mar 2024 13:20:34
Both Hwang and Cunha's main position are Centre Forward but they are not being played in their favoured position for whatever reason. Likewise, Noah Lemina is an Attacking Midfielder who can also play on either wing.
Looks like GON is after players who can play multiple positions.

Ramsdale to wolves on loan in Jan with obligation to buy apparently.
1.) 26 Nov 2023 08:38:26
If this is true, then it suggests Sa is leaving
2.) 26 Nov 2023 08:52:52
No chance.
3.) 26 Nov 2023 09:02:55
Have any of you seen the recent video on YouTube (very popular US beer channel, sounds like Dudweiser) Ramsdale is being "interviewed" by Ian Wright and Ramsdale admits to "not being able to keep focused during a game, and will interact with fans" that comment wouldn't fill anyone with confidence.
Of course, this could be a certain corner of the media conflating two stories (if SA to Saudi is true, and Ramsdale being shipped out of Arsenal is true) and fabricating a story to generate clicks / interactions.
4.) 26 Nov 2023 09:28:28
Don't think we can afford his wages.
5.) 26 Nov 2023 17:33:59
Arsenal could pay some of his wages during the loan period, then potentially negotiate lower wages during contract talks (should any of this be true)
6.) 26 Nov 2023 19:12:02
An Albion fan in goal!
7.) 26 Nov 2023 19:22:48
It's a Daily Star story so that should tell you all you need to know.
8.) 26 Nov 2023 19:48:26
All highly unlikely but terrible fear is that it forms part of a wider deal involving Neto.
ps seen a note saying we value Neto at £60m, isn't that a bit low unless Ramsdale is included at zero as part of the deal - even then not sure?
Where would you value Neto Cf Havertz, Cuccerella (sp), Mudryk, etc etc etc!
9.) 27 Nov 2023 14:36:53
Future, I agree that if there's anything in the Ramsdale rumours, that might indicate a PX makeweight in the Neto deal. If it's Ramsdale in, Neto out, then it's Sa out to Saudi as well. We need to get at least £100mil for Neto and Sa and maybe get Ramsdale on a free transfer due to his wages.
10.) 27 Nov 2023 16:28:54
Wouldnt mind a Sa - Ramsdale swap - he is home grown and of course from a FFP persepctive it would be a fabulous swap at £40m (Note Ramsdale would have to cost less so that his wages are covered by the fee disparity)
As you suggest that means we would want £100m straight for Neto - just can't see how we replace him though even with that much cash?
ps enjoy the view tonight from the posh seats! I will be behind the goal in the cheap seats!
03 Oct 2023 14:54:03
West Ham after Semedo Aparently? Not sure January but he would turn 30 soon so be interesting to see what they would offer?
1.) 03 Oct 2023 18:50:18
Who do we have to replace Semedo if we use 4 in back? Doherty isn't really a replacement for Semedo since he plays differently. We are strong on left back, but right back seems more iffy, unless we stay with 3/5 in back.
2.) 04 Oct 2023 06:41:03
Well, no one wanted him this summer.would be surprised if a good manager like Moyes would be interested.
3.) 04 Oct 2023 19:33:36
It was slightly different in the summer cause we held off on triggering his extension until the last minute. So if teams were interested they would have been waiting to see if he was going to be availible on a free. Such a funny player, in some games (mostly the big teams) he looks like an absolute world beater! Then agaisnt Luton he looked like he was playing drunk! Under the current climate I think we need to keep him, Jonny is not the player he was so currently probs our best option ?
4.) 05 Oct 2023 08:11:02
BB -agree a player who baffles. So much skill and composure on the ball and pace. Plus a v good 1 on 1 defender. But prone to lapses of defensive conentration, weak in the air and gets a nose bleed when he gets near the opponents box and so is largely ineffectual offensively.
He is almost a mirror image of Doherty whose strengths are Semedo's weaknesses and vice versa.
But if someone is willing to pay serious money for him - Newcastle paid a huge sum to Southampton for Livremont (sp) who is merely cover for Trippier then - as RB is probably the least important position in the team and normally easy to replace - Chelsea sold Livremont and Lamptey for less than £10m combined - he is probably the player we should sell to cover this year's FFP problem.
Agreed neither Doherty or Otto are long term options or probably even short term options - Doherty could do it if we stick to 3 at the back - but as stated we should be able to find a replacement for somewhat lower wages and fee!
5.) 06 Oct 2023 10:57:59
Hi TFIG, we still have Lembekisa who started to look good and the Colombian lad on loan in America who is due back soon I think.
6.) 27 Oct 2023 01:22:25
You've got to love it, papers are carrying a story of 'Newc shock move for Neves' but WHERE I ask you is the shock?! Half of us keyboard warrior wannabe footy journos where calling that VERY 'shock move' when he left (myself included)! It was always a blatant way to sign him around FFP rules when it happened and if WE new that all the journos new that too! I hate it but you have to admire Newc, they are going to compete with City at their own game! Saddly for the rest of us in the footy world (and it's a damning indictment BTW) that 'game' is now the best cheat wins! Best league in the world, well as Jim Royale would say 'my @rse'! Biggest sports washing joke, I'm afraid that's what we've become! ?
7.) 27 Oct 2023 23:10:09
BB - under current rules I'm not sure that Newcastle/their owners will actually have done anything wrong?
Clearly the Newcastle owners could own a team in 2 other arenas, South America, Australia, USA etc etc. Each of the 2 teams could buy, for vast sums, one of the best players in the world and put them on mind blowingly high salaries. They could then lend the 2 world class players to Newcastle with Newcastle paying a fraction of their wages.
This would allow Newcastle to have 2 world class players in their team for minimal cost effectively emasculating FFP in the Prem.
Of course there may be issues for the other teams owned by Newcastle's owners. They would be paying for the superstars, (fees and wages) not playing for their team in South America, Australia etc but turning out instead for Newcastle. But that won't impact Newcastle?
8.) 01 Nov 2023 19:42:27
Oh I quite agree TFG (as usual:) according to the current system they are well within the rules from what I can tell. Although I do wonder if they will bring in some kind of limit on loans outside the EU (or some other device to make it harder). Also it still doesn't make it right though and as I say we do seem to have become a League where the mantra should be 'best team at exploiting the loop holes wins'. Classic example is the sheer disgrace of City very pubically calling for the FA to hurry up with their investigations whilst purposefully forgetting to mention that they have thrown every legal hurdle at the case fully in the knowledge that some of the charges become time barred.
Just abit sick of it all to be honest buddy, we sell our best players to play by the rules while others just flaunt them cause they are better/have the means to get round um. I've been saying it for years but I really am falling out of love with this not so beautiful game. World Cup 2034 'given' to Saudi, give me a break it just gets better and better!
Sorry for the whining but I'm just sick of the only teams trying to play fair being the ones who seem to be peeing up the proverbial rope! My whole life all I've heard peeps say 'well the bubble will burst' and I'm not sure it ever will. Everytime it comes close the powers that be just find a way to quietly pump it back up again, usually using some form of well washed blood money! ?
9.) 02 Nov 2023 19:56:45
BB - v v sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel but at the moment I am re-engaging with the game - primarily through watching live games all over the place but mainly at lower league grounds.
Real fans, real football - no money anywhere!
However I accept that what are you saying is v true and frankly is getting worse! At least in the 70s teams stood a chance and Ipswich, Derby, Norwich, Southampton, QPR etc etc all had moments in the sun.
Maybe that is why the debacle after the miracles of Nuno and Seville hurt so badly and I have been so bad tempered/intolerant on here these last couple of years!
Sorry!
10.) 02 Nov 2023 21:55:37
Ah don't be silly TFG old buddy, no need for apologies. We have had many a good debate on here but I'd honestly NEVER say you've been bad tempered or intolerable! In fact more often than not I'd say engaging and interesting ?
Pleased to hear your finding the love for the game again in the lower leagues and I think you may have a good shout there fella. I may try and catch the odd game myself now you've said it, cause like you say I'm abit done with the Prem. I'm on the old IPTV, cheaper and somehow less frustrating! Keep enjoying those lower league games buddy and keep on posting. Least we aren't having to moan about the club/performances as much these days, credit where its due GON long may it continue ??
11.) 08 Nov 2023 22:36:41
West ham after ait nouri as well apparently.they reckon 20 mill plus cresswell will get him.i say sod off
09 Sep 2023 13:07:01
Aparently Chelsea blocked our move for Dia as Boehlys group has a stake or something is Strasborg and didn’t want to let this huge talent come to us.
1.) 09 Sep 2023 13:50:05
Surely that sort of thing is not allowed?
2.) 09 Sep 2023 14:06:07
If true Chelsea might be having more trouble coming their way.
3.) 09 Sep 2023 15:19:35
Where did the information come from Vbwolf, just out of interest.
4.) 09 Sep 2023 18:19:23
And, I saw it on BBC gossip article
5.) 09 Sep 2023 19:05:27
It was for Habib Diarra not Dia
6.) 09 Sep 2023 20:00:30
I think I saw it on the BBC
7.) 11 Sep 2023 12:34:24
It was Habib Diarra at Strasbourg. The Chelsea owner's consortium own Strasbourg and they didn't want Diarra signing for Wolves. Not against the rules but showed we touched a nerve if offering to buy Diarra. I guess Diarra will be playing at Stamford Bridge soon.
8.) 12 Sep 2023 10:31:55
Would have been the same if Chelsea had been interested in a player at Grasshoppers (if only). We could have blocked it, as the Fosun owner's wife still owns Grasshoppers. What happens to all those 'ones for the future' that we ship out to Grasshoppers? Never seem to hear much.
01 Sep 2023 16:09:13
Podence off to Qatar
1.) 01 Sep 2023 16:27:51
Good luck to him I know he is like marmite you either love him or you hate him, he did score some cruicial goals that kept us up last season, wound up players too, but his diving and play acting really let him down.
2.) 01 Sep 2023 16:32:07
BELAGARDE coming in deal agreed.
3.) 01 Sep 2023 16:40:54
Sky reporting trying to get Bellegarde deal over the line.
4.) 01 Sep 2023 17:21:28
Podence to Qatari club off as they signed Coutinho instead. Could be going Saudi instead as Gerrard club are apparently after him.

So it’s been stated on here earlier by Jas that it’s not the clubs fault for all our injuries and I agree with that, however I would also add, if we had invested in 4-5 more players who added quality we could have rotated the squad more, and maybe cut down on the amount of injuries we have, especially from overplaying and pushing out players too much. In that case it is the clubs fault.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 13:37:27
A few things. If we had invested in the additional 4-5 players we'd be facing a points deduction and also maybe retained JL to satisfy his ego and sweet shop mentality. Yes the squad is much too thin and this should hopefully be recognised by the hierarchy and corrected in the summer where we'll be in a much stronger negotiating position. Finally we can't just blame Wolves for overplaying our players, remember all the African/Asian cups, international friendlies etc where our players are flying all over the world, different time zones etc. All this takes it's toll too. Hwang hasn't looked the same player since he came back.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 17:51:03
Vbwolf, we need more income to do that.
20 Apr 2024 20:28:35
Not a bad first half but it’s so obvious we have no outlet in the final third. Sa has also given me a heart attack on three separate occasions when passing it to Doyle when he had two men on him! Nothing to lose 2nd half. Let’s push on and frustrate them. Unlucky Gomez, would have scored on a different day.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 21:42:38
Far far better than I imagined we would be. As you say Vbwolf we obviously had little up front chirewa who I thought did well, was looking a couple of times but we wernt going to risk it. Some poor knocking around at the back and Sa always concerns with his taps around. Some good positioned saves and then let's his near post open at the end. 2-0 rather flattered them in the end. Better than expected, let's see what we can muster against bournmouth.
19 Apr 2024 16:16:37
So we have no players for for tomorrow. Can’t help but see it will be a cricket score no matter how optimistic GON is.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 14:08:32
That'll be 356 for 8 declared then vb.
09 Apr 2024 14:09:59
Atleast the masters starts this week. Something to look forward to :)
06 Apr 2024 17:11:40
What was said at half time? To go from completely dominating that game to then sitting back and being the complete opposite in the second half? Where was the pressing and the passion? And yet again, we give them the first goal by trying to be too clever, when all someone had to do is stick their boot through the ball and smash it up field to relieve the pressure. So frustrated.
1.) 06 Apr 2024 18:26:27
VAR and Tony Harrington were an absolute disgrace today.
The 2nd half was poor from us today but I think Antonio coming on and also the wind help them, much like the wind helped us dominate the 1st half.
Doherty should have just put his laces through the ball rather than think he's Franz Beckenbauer.
Ward Prowse goal was a weather assisted freak.
But Harrington and VAR got the decision very badly wrong at the end. Every man and his dog know it. Yes, Chirewa was stood in front of the keeper but the keeper didn't move, wasn't being blocked or fouled by Chirewa. The ref should be made to come out and explain his decision straight after the match just like the managers have to.
Even Fabianski and Moyes have admitted that the goal should have been given. Absolutely disgraceful. Let's see what Howard Webb has to say about it.
23 Apr 2024 19:56:53
Benik Afobe style? Nah he is a quality player. He will keep getting better.
27 Mar 2024 11:04:57
Why would he leave a job as a manager to go and play 2nd fiddle to another manager in a coach role? Doesn’t make sense.
04 Mar 2024 22:37:36
Just been confirmed on express and star that we are eyeing up a summer swoop.
14 Feb 2024 13:40:41
We should not accept anything less than 100m for Neto. All these other teams slapping ridiculous fees for their players and then we seem to always get low balled. For example 100m for braithweight (sp) At Everton.
Neto is one of the top 5 players in the league. He is unplayable. A world class player.
30 Jan 2024 15:08:51
But I thought Lemina would all come down to a work visa?
20 Apr 2024 20:32:33
The thing with Neto is if he goes to a champs league team he will be part of a club that literally have two-3 players in each position. They will be able to manage his time better so they can pull him off after 65/70 mins and rest him if it is needed. We pretty much have to start him every game as he was one of only a few match winners that we have.
06 Apr 2024 18:24:42
Cunha is the one who gave it away so easily which led to their break and yes they should have hoofed it out but Cunha had too many stray passes when he came on.
06 Apr 2024 16:04:48
By bad Jas. I hope we score another two before they pull one back.
03 Apr 2024 01:36:55
I asked something similar a while ago but got shot down. He is a professional and doesn’t seem to rock the boat by being a squad player. He has 10 goals so far this season and knows where the net is for sure. He is 32 so maybe worth a punt as a squad player. He would be cheap so that suits wolves to a tee. Better than Chè Adams’s anyway.
30 Mar 2024 21:18:40
Villa were nothing special today and we were not at the races but were the better side in the first half. RAN should have scored for sure. We definitely need to mix things up during the week and I would get Doc in and Bouba as he has great energy and Atleast Doc makes the runs and attacks. Didn’t expect anything from the Villa game but expect three points now during the game at Burnley.
