Wolves Rumours Archive August 18 2016

18 Aug 2016 23:28:45
Luisao. Talisa and Ballotelli not signing. don't know where these rumours are coming from. a lot of people adding 2+2 and getting 5.

18 Aug 2016 23:53:50
And what do you know felix or are you guessing as usual.

18 Aug 2016 23:53:58
All mis-information to disguise the real transfers that will happen.

18 Aug 2016 23:58:40
Talisca signed for a Turkish side balotelli as gone to lazio on loan. as I said before don't expect big money signings it's a moxey thing oh we tried to sign him and him and him all rubbish. walter is plan b.

19 Aug 2016 00:05:23
Felix, we know Talisca isn't signing because he's just signed for Besiktas on a season long loan. Any update on the Stoke and Sunderland players you said were signing?

19 Aug 2016 00:06:59
Both Bids are in just waiting.

19 Aug 2016 01:58:50
I'm sorry Felix but you don't have any sources you just guess and have got a few right but also a few very wrong.

19 Aug 2016 08:06:58
Felix you said the takeover had fell through!

19 Aug 2016 08:22:25
We all need patience. At this point in the past we were bringing in over-the-hill Grant Holt. We also tried Adam LeFondre, not to mention Danny Graham and that bloke from Hull, Yannick Nobody. Plus Kenny's constant obsession in signing Chris Woods who briefly did the business for Kenny at Millwall. Times have changed and it's permanent, but it will take time.

19 Aug 2016 09:34:43
Seriously lads'there weren't any leaks for so the called ITK posters to feed off when M&M were running the show, so do you really think that the new boys are going to be more relaxed with the information coming out of the mol or compton.
If anything it will be tighter than a ducks chuff up there now'
its all guess work.
let's hope for a win tomorrow at blouse.

1. Talisca hasn't signed anywhere Yet. In fact this rumor was started by a guy on Twitter to see how far it would go, and it went far.

2. Balotelli hasn't signed anywhere yet. Lazio have just been mentioned along with Wolves, Chievo and Port Vale as a possible destination for him.

3. Luisao is still training with Benfica and is in Portugal with his family.

For those who haven't noticed, we aren't "doing a Moxey" on this. Predominantly because he now works for Norwich City. Basically what is happening is folks are seeing stuff online and taking it as Gospel.

You should only believe things when they are posted about by Local Sources. Not Agent Dave from Twitter. Not Myke Wolf up a tree in Compton. Not Portuguese Press. Not Turkish Press.

19 Aug 2016 10:44:03
Derby while I agree with what you say - The Portugese Press have done OK so far in reporting Julen Lopotegie, the takeover, Helder Costa, Teixeira, Silvio.

19 Aug 2016 10:47:41
Everyone chill out. This is a rumour site; rumours are "currently circulating stories or reports of uncertain or doubtful truth" - Uncertain = Taliska Doubtful = Luisao and Ballotelli = Truth?

19 Aug 2016 10:52:33
Well said Derbywolf. The first we are going to know about anything is when they arrive at the ground to sign. Everything else is bollocks.

19 Aug 2016 12:15:57
Issue with Balotelli seems to be his personal choice and Liverpools preference for the as large a chunk as possible of his wages to be met. I'm sure that from a status point of view Balotelli would like to stay in the top division of a recognised footballing country. Problem is he's such a risk that many teams in the right league don't want to commit to meeting the majority of such a wage. Wolves can now commit to a higher percentage of the wage than most and its only two years since Mario played England off the park. But what of Balotelli, the new Italy manager Ventura has said: "Players need to have a desire to win, going to a lesser league doesn't help in that regard. So we watch and wait.

19 Aug 2016 12:39:22
Balotelli's wage bill would be beyond Wolves at a reportedly £6m a year, even if Liverpool paid half.

19 Aug 2016 15:39:07
Just consider the sums for a minute. If he wanted to come
(a big if) and the deal was for Wolves to pay half his wages,
then for this one promotion season, you would get a hell of a lot for £3 Million. He would be devastating in this division. Who could you buy for £3 Mill these days, that would make as much impact? I can't think of anyone.

19 Aug 2016 15:40:39
6m per year is over 100k per week probably only 10 to 20 clubs in Europe prepared to pay that for a player let alone that player besides he won't want to come to us.

18 Aug 2016 18:00:32
Wolves have also turned down a move to sign Robson Kanu. Kanus agent was keen to get his man a move to Wolves.

18 Aug 2016 18:15:56
We will 100 per cent make a marquee signing before the end of the window.
Jeff Shi will not fail in his goals. LISTEN UP HE WILL NOT FAIL.
These guys mean business, the league wine play in is the problem, if we could offer premier league football it wouldn't be a problem.
Having said that money talks to a certain extent, and there are enough players out there to move us forward.
The Prince is a good signing my guess is 4 more in by deadline day including a ticket selling/ shirt selling molgalectico.
An earthquake is erupting hold tight.

18 Aug 2016 18:49:26
Realist I for one will be very excited come the last day of the transfer window. If we can get another 4 in that would be fantastic and be a complete overhaul of the current team. Jeff did say we needed 5-8 new players and having 4 in we are half way there. Big times are a coming it's never going to be straight forward at Wolves but it's always exciting now.

18 Aug 2016 19:08:58
Tbf there allready trying 2 get a couple of top lads in so not abig surprise is it.

18 Aug 2016 19:19:37
the realist have you got another source as your old one was pally with morgan?
is this all your own guess work?
I am so excited I want to hug someone where is paul tamworth?

18 Aug 2016 19:25:13
It's mainly bull. We are being linked to anyone and everyone by agents angling to get their players moves or by click bait websites and Twitter trolls. The club has been silent about any moves, even during the Talisca debacle,

If we sign anyone it will probably be out of the blue like BOD. I do expect more signings and, for once, it might be worthwhile watching transfer deadline day.

18 Aug 2016 19:25:40
We need to get a bloody move on, linked with all these players yet no one in.

18 Aug 2016 19:27:01
Jeff Shi isn't even in the country anymore, so it's down to Kevin Thelwell, still confident?

18 Aug 2016 19:31:26
Summerwolf no one? Did the 5 already bypas you 2 on loan 3 bought! Your taking over from the Wavid.

18 Aug 2016 19:47:59
Gee this is a rumour site right.
I dropped lucky with a contact and always gave what I could.
Don't need to read them back I know they were all good.
That's gone so I don't post or I give you a level headed opinion.
If I get a new contact I'll give it you warts n all if I don't I'll give you my opinion.
One love.
We're massive in Italy Que Sera Sera.

18 Aug 2016 20:09:21
To be quite frank with my fellow wolves fans put us where we are mentioned to be in the premier and Europe and turn up in numbers at the molineux and away I am sick of all the negativity from the press saying we are going to sign the likes of the best and has if we were the likes of a 2nd league club so let's just embrace the goings on wolves ay we.

18 Aug 2016 20:24:17
Harambes Ghost.
Jeff Shi is in China, but he left Sky Sun (in charge) of Thelwell, worry ye not brother, the chinese aren't going to leave important stuff to Thelwell.

Sky Sun is more than competent in these matters.

18 Aug 2016 20:43:00
Turn up in numbers that's all great reply.

18 Aug 2016 22:03:16
I understand where your coming from the realist I was just enquiring. I truly believe something is happening. bring on the good times come on you wolves let's do this.

19 Aug 2016 08:46:08
Money talks does it. ain't doing much chatting is it. conned the lot of ya.

18 Aug 2016 13:18:46
Ola John due to have a medical and sign today on loan.

18 Aug 2016 13:30:30
Mario 2/ 1 on now to sign a 12 month loan deal at Wolves.

18 Aug 2016 13:39:03
Also due to sign Jack Ruddy, 18 year old GK from Bury.

18 Aug 2016 14:05:22
New on site but have to share: BALOTELLI LANDED AT PATSHULL PARK HOTEL IN HELICOPTER. it's happening!

18 Aug 2016 14:13:48
Forget the rest it's all about Mario! Whether true or not when have we ever been linked with a player of this caliber? If it comes off it would put another 5k on the gate and show massive intent from Fosun! 👍.

18 Aug 2016 14:34:59
Plan must be Dicko, Balotelli and Bodvarsson in a 4-3-3 with Tex, Onian and Jon behind. Looks exciting.

18 Aug 2016 14:43:28
I am totally fed up of hearing about how we are loaning this and that player! How about buying some quality players! I know we can't attract top players but, we could attract the type of players who can help us gain promotion and whom could hold their own in the Prem! Maybe I'm being a little impatient and come the end of the TW, we will have bought in some good additions! Yes, I want to see us up near the top of the Champ ASAP and showing that we mean business!

18 Aug 2016 14:49:01
No one seems to have heard much about Ola John bar overseas sources. Oh and if anyone thinks Balotelli is coming, you're mad. SecretWolf you're clearly a WUM making up rubbish, kindly do one.

18 Aug 2016 15:05:29
PaulTamworth
Forget the rest it's all about Mario! Whether true or not when have we ever been linked with a player of this caliber?
What? Lazy, Moody, never tracks back and likes fireworks in his bathroom type of quality? LOL.

18 Aug 2016 15:07:33
Seems a bit like the club is trying to complete a jigsaw without a picture to help them. Putting in bids for any player who might be available or interested rather than having a team building plan. I am a bit worried that Jeff has given too much of a free reign to Mendes who is not a coach and does not plan tactically for the long season ahead. Making "headline" signings might be exciting to read about but it has to transfer to good performance on the pitch and I suppose time will tell. Just hoping we are not going to be guilty of making expensive mistakes that we will live to regret.

18 Aug 2016 15:14:44
"BALOTELLI GAMBLE CONTINUES

The money continues to come for Mario Balotelli to join Wolves this month. The price had already been cut from 28/ 1 yesterday to 8/ 1 this morning, and the Liverpool striker is now just 5/ 4 to make the move to Molineux. Ajax are now out to 7/ 1, with former favourites Chievo now 8/ 1."

Im suprised Guillem Balague hasn't pulled some magical fluff story from his butthole yet.

18 Aug 2016 15:23:19
Why is everyone expecting Dicko to come straight back in as 1st choice striker? He is an OK centre forward nothing more nothing less.

18 Aug 2016 15:23:59
Ola John is a talented young winger with a season in the championship under his belt with Reading where he scored goals from the wing and created loads of chances. Watched him play and he looked good, way better than Jeremy Helan that we loaned last season.
Think about it though - if a Champions League team like Benfica are only loaning a player out 9 times out of 10 that player is in their long term plans and they value them. Loaning is a win win situation and this season is to improve and make the playoffs at least.

18 Aug 2016 15:46:05
Silly me wantin players like Ballatelli? Doh! Let's stick to Evans coady Edwards Saville Hause landell Mason Henry etc etc etc! Really exciting! Doh! Your ambition level is zero Doogs Tosh! Don't u understand players like this are needed to sell the Wolves brand world wide so in doing so can entice better quality players and that will bring more success! I'd imagine marquee signins will be a massive part of Fosun.

18 Aug 2016 15:58:02
Paul T,

With you on this one. The odd marquee signing will make people sit up and take notice. It will also encourage higher calibre players to consider Wolves. Honestly, some fans seem to want the old grey Jackett back, complete with average players.

18 Aug 2016 15:58:23
I personally don't really cares who comes in aslong as I don't see Evans, Saville, Price, Henry, Byrne or Edwards occupying the midfield again. Utter 2nd rate Jackett rubbish.

18 Aug 2016 16:09:15
well. they have two weeks left for a marquee signing.

I'm not holding my breath.

18 Aug 2016 16:19:04
These big names are just pipe dream stuff, we're being used to tout these guys aaround and they'll go elsewhere. I'm still yet to see the real intent from the owners, 3 million spent and a few loans. Come on Wolves, get on with it. Why haven't we gone back in with a bid for Martin? I hope things are going on behind the scenes and another 5 or 6 come in or it'll be another midtable at best finish.

18 Aug 2016 16:34:09
I'm personally getting very disillusioned by this whole takeover. We've spend less than £5 million, so far, with the team ending up with 5 loan deals. Compare that to Villa and Newcastle who find top class players and sign them within 3 days. How can a company like Fosun, worth £50 billion, be linked to 30 top class pro's and not bid for any of them, or only bid for those they know will fail (aka, 5m for Chris Martin)? Something isn't right.

18 Aug 2016 17:17:55
Disillusioned . Strong words sir, I feel for you if u feel that way, you need to relax my friend and take these next next few weeks and what u read with a pinch of salt .

Wolves have been and will be linked with so many players they almost get forgotten by the next day . Who knows with balotelli, has he just dropped by to see what the club can offer him and vice versa .

Tomorrow who knows, carvallho may be mentioned as wolves look for a c/ h.

It is great chit chat so please try not to feel disillusioned.

18 Aug 2016 17:21:04
But Wavid you have to look at Cilla and Newcastle differently to us, they have both been in the Prem (Villa forever) and are more well known or seen as more likely to get back to the Prem faster.
They both have better squads that just need adding to where as we need a whole new squad.
Plus Mike Ashley has been the owner of Newcastle a long time so there's no big changes to be made and Villa's new owner has had slightly longer than ours to get going.

Even if the majority of our new players so far are loans at least we are getting new faces in and so far so good.

Let's be positive Wavid, it's lookin better than last season already plus we've got Dicko and Graham and Zyro and Williamson to come back.

With Ola John about to sign today and Prince last week we definitely need a LB, CB and a ST

That will be 9 new faces in to go with those to return from injury, I reckon te owners are trying to get buyers for some of our deadwood too.

18 Aug 2016 17:25:46
Summer_Wolf you chat some utter rubbish.

Yet to see some real intent? Why because they are doing their business quiet unlike Villa? Its been WELL reported in Portugal by TOP reporters over there that we was in for Talisca and it got well down the line. We've had a bid rejected for Martin from Derby. The players we have signed so far might be on loan but a loan signing does NOT take away the quality from a player. Teixeira is the best CM at the club and is onloan. You can not force a team to sell or a player to join. We WILL sign more players before the window shuts. Stop with your pathetic moaning and grow up.

18 Aug 2016 17:32:18
Well, as Winston Churchill said, you can't please all of the people all of the time. He must have been thinking of Wolves fans.

18 Aug 2016 17:33:07
Wow we are soon rubbishing Price and Evans in the new world order. They may not have the flair and natural touch of Costa and Texeira but we are going to need a squad over the full season and its maybe going to be the British lads that provide a platform for team spirit. Price and Evans can only develop playing with better players and its clear to me that Zenga likes Saville. They could still have a role to play in the future.

18 Aug 2016 17:36:23
The majority of business will probably be rushed through in the last few hours of the transfer window. I think that's why we are associated with every man and his dog just all enquiries at this stage or loans. The main signings will be done later.

18 Aug 2016 17:58:02
PaulTamworth - look at the face, tongue stuck firmly in cheek. You read far to much into things my boy. Irony? Capiche?
However, he is still idle and does not track back and that is within an environment where you get more time on the ball.
Yes to have quality players would be great, but the right ones.
He would need a better work ethic in the championship, but obviously you cannot see that and just want a name.

18 Aug 2016 18:20:57
I'd like half a dozen names world football have heard of and not just the ones Wolves fans of heard of!

18 Aug 2016 19:01:31
Jeff Shi will not be allowed to fail
Let's get Morgan n money back.
OMG WTF do you want.
Had the old regime been at the helm Texiera wouldn't have even been on the radar.
Interesting that Rowett wanted JDB but was priced outta the market, but he was cheap WASNT HE.

18 Aug 2016 19:03:27
Well you may be deluding yourself as they will not come WHILST we are in the chump. That's my opinion, I would love to be wrong.
The realist's new post up the board sums this up.
But back to your point, if we can get a name from world football that we have not herd of, but has a better reputation than the one mentioned (Balotelli) then good.

18 Aug 2016 19:14:36
Someone got school lol. well said the real wolf pack on here / _/.

18 Aug 2016 19:20:18
WAvidsmith I agree to an extent over KJ midfield purchases however you are wrong over Jack Price, this guy doesn't get the headlines but he's in the right position at the right time and does the simple things very, very well for me he's in the first 11.
Goldfinger your post regarding villa an Newcastle and our squad was spit on mate 👍. It will take time.
Oh for me ballobaby is too much a gamble in my opinion only. At this level Chris Martin is what we need now, but my opinion is small. Anyway UTW ⚽⚽⚽⚽.

18 Aug 2016 19:32:53
Wolvesaywe77 - you're deluded if you thought we were ever going to sign someone like that. We're being used for other players to get them in the shop window. Yes we probably will bring people in but not people of that calibre. It's you who needs to have a bit of common sense my friend. No need to be so aggressive thanks. Yes I haven't seen real intent, Yet. Which is the truth, we've spent peanuts. If Morgan had only spent 3 million and a few loans we'd be shouting from the rooftops saying he's not investing bla bla bla. They have work to do.

18 Aug 2016 21:10:31
Spanish Wolf.
Dicko is an "OK centre forward" we wouldn't have got as close to the playoffs two seasons ago and certainly not promoted from league one with his goals and pace ripping defences apart.
You like many others need to shut your hole and stop being a negative and sit back and enjoy the ride and get behind the team instead of criticising every move the team make everyone is forgetting it's a young team learning their trade there's bound to be mistakes and there's still room for improvement!
