We are all obsessed with a 20 goal striker, bristol had abraham and did nothing. villa have kodja did nothing. our formation only allows for one striker and I think it will be Dicko. Very well supported by cav, costa, zyro, marshall. Chelsea won prem with one striker and a sound defence, I know we're no Chelsea but in this division if we're hard to beat and have that power up front we could be in the mix.



18 Jul 2017 04:17:07
What are you on about? We need to at least be in the mix? With a couple of decent quality tried and tested we will definitely be in it.

We need the quality at the sharp end, that's for sure! 👍😉⚽️.



18 Jul 2017 07:01:20
Your right wolvescoast we do need strikers. I'm not sure who though in the system we are playing. If we we buy two then we alienate two of the three. Afobe is useful as we know he can play with dicko and gives us the option of two up front. Vincent aboubaker would be an improvement on dicko but untried in championship and may need time which we haven't really got. Just opinion on recent speculation. UTW.



18 Jul 2017 07:27:54
We will be found out if we stick to 343 come on pal. plan b'C? 2 STRIKERS.



18 Jul 2017 07:35:06
I didn't say I wouldn't have a plan b, c and d Dappa. All I was saying is if you have 3 quality forwards for the championship I'm not sure some of them would be happy sitting on the bench or playing as a foot note to the first team. Afobe is a better signing as he offers goals at this level and he can play various attacking positions. Aboubaker may be hard to keep happy. And afobe won't come to sit on the bench and he struggled as the lone striker. He tried to be 6 players in that last 5 months at the club.



18 Jul 2017 09:53:01
We've signed Pedro Goncalves apparently.



18 Jul 2017 09:54:19
Apologies to Gillywolf who posted that yesterday. I just saw it on another link. Another defender? Maybe one for the future.



18 Jul 2017 10:55:13
This one did the rounds a few weeks back, so well done to the guys and girls who picked that one up.



18 Jul 2017 11:44:31
Always amazes me the number of people who come on here saying we should play with 2 strikers. Apart from a brief, and relatively unsuccessful period pre-Christmas in League 1 we haven't played with 2 strikers since 2008/ 09. How many of the successful clubs nowadays play with 2 strikers? None of the top 7 in the PL. People might as well say we ought to play with wing halves and inside forwards. Our plan 'B' as an alternative to 343 will probably be 4231.



18 Jul 2017 12:34:02
Exactly DAS. 🙄🙄🙄.



18 Jul 2017 12:55:00
By no means a villa fan but u can't say kodja did nothing last season he got quite few goals even in poor season villa had imo we will get s quality fwd poss from Spain or someone Nuno has wanted and will also get a young kid prob Portuguese but someone who been on fringes at Porto / benfica.



18 Jul 2017 14:08:31
Found out playing 343? Just like Chelsea were last season eh Dappa.



18 Jul 2017 14:19:34
Lot of talk about One up front etc. What we need is good defenders and midfield so we can get more forwards up top. When we had solid players like Ron Flowers and Bobby Thompson in defence and midfield we played 5 up front and we scored loads of goals that way. that's what we should be doing, not messing about with one up front, total waste of time that.



18 Jul 2017 14:55:20
If you had told Norman Deeley or Jimmy Murray that the team was playing with one up front they'd think you'd gone bonkers. Jimmy Murray scored 199 goals for Wolves in 273 matches, and he wern't playing up front on his own.



18 Jul 2017 15:12:24
Dave Stourbridge - 199 goals in 273 matches is incredible record! Could do with that now. I think things have changed a bit since then though mate, can I ask you how long you have been supporting Wolves?



18 Jul 2017 22:27:33
First match I went to was 1955. We played Arsenal in the cup at the Molineux and beat them one goal to nothing. We had a great them days.



17 Jul 2017 22:17:47
Pedro Goncalves signed today according to his Instagram. Valencia U23's. Think he's 19.



17 Jul 2017 14:51:06
Ike ugbo going to barnsley obviously means that chelsea didn't think he would get much game time with us . Therefore with dicko we must be looking at at least another established top quality striker we're signing.



17 Jul 2017 14:58:33
Or. we were never in for him.



17 Jul 2017 18:13:49
Not bothered about ugbo really. defence not bat at minute.1 more Amf and 1 or 2 strikers then will be happy. must admit getting concerned about no strikers signed.



17 Jul 2017 18:28:05
Greylegwolf, Ugbo is not a defender. You're confusing him with another Chelsea player (a defender) who we had agreed a transfer fee of £3mil for. Ugbo is a rather prolific striker and there was a feeling he might be another Tammy Abraham.



17 Jul 2017 21:35:35
Our recent track record with young loan players has not been particularly positive for the loaning club. They want to see these youngsters getting as much game time as possible. Northwick - Jackson last season and Ojo the year before has rather tainted our reputation. Okay maybe there weren't good enough but that was down to our scouting.



17 Jul 2017 21:47:02
O yes your right . I meant omeuro. silly me. 😁😁.



17 Jul 2017 06:56:40
Kenneth Omeruo not coming to Wolves according to his facebook page.



17 Jul 2017 10:39:54
Not to bothered about this news and I am sure that once the lads are back from tour there will be more comings and goings.



17 Jul 2017 13:02:49
No suprise to see Jack Price doing well in a passing side.



17 Jul 2017 13:45:08
Ike Ugbo has gone to Barnsley.



17 Jul 2017 13:47:47
Assombalonga has gone to Boro. Probably score the winner against Wolves on the opening day of the season.



17 Jul 2017 13:57:58
A Boro fan will likely say the same about Negrado.



17 Jul 2017 14:27:38
Just because we didn't sign him?! 😂😂 maybe we never wanted to sign him. maybe you're all took in by paper talk.
Do we say this for every player who scores against us? "We should have signed him"

We will obviously sign at least 1 striker.
Calm down.



17 Jul 2017 00:50:27
Alvaro negredo - hearing he's having a medical this week.



17 Jul 2017 01:11:23
2 new players at Compton over weekend from Portugal.



17 Jul 2017 06:55:59
Kenneth Omereo is ' NOT' coming to wolves apparently.



17 Jul 2017 08:37:18
Where's he having this medical? Besiktas?



17 Jul 2017 10:05:18
Would love negredo been linked from afar for a while.



17 Jul 2017 10:36:40
Anyone know what's happened to lea Evans haven't heard anything about him omeruo not coming to wol he's going to turkey.



17 Jul 2017 12:17:27
Not sure I want Negrado.
90 grand a week.
Pretty sure if I was Dicko I wouldn't want to be running round chasing all over the pitch for him to just stand in the middle and wait for chances.
Not to mention what it could do to the rest of the squads morale.
Much rather have someone with a bit of pace up front.



17 Jul 2017 16:52:52
Who really cares that some 23 year old who couldn't break in to Chelsea team not 1 appeared for um as if we need more defence strikers we lack 2 of um probably loans.



17 Jul 2017 00:03:43
New name on radar possibly is moussa meranga- fwd been on loan from Porto so poss connection via mendes looks a beast.



17 Jul 2017 10:53:12
I assume you mean Moussa Marega who is valued around £34m. Pretty unlikely I would have thought even with Fosun's money.



{Ed047's Note - He has a £34m buyout clause but just like Neves it's negotiable, but i wouldn't hold your breath.}
