Romaine saiss at molinuex today with representatives to thrash out deal.



23 Aug 2016 07:07:58
This looks like the player we have needed for a long time. Antipates passes and runs. Good sharp tackle, very mobile. Always available as we play out of defence and good passer of the ball to start attacks. Looks like a Coady style but reads the game better.



23 Aug 2016 10:59:41
Looks useful. Especially next time Iorfa is suspended.



22 aug 2016 20:34:31
e/ s reporting saiss in town ready to join us, good game for u23,s losing 4 / 3 to swansea at the mo.



22 Aug 2016 21:54:35
Yeah just read that about Saiss. There's still over a week to go to end of transfer window and would be happy with a decent striker between now and end of window but I bet some on here will think keep em coming. Rhodes, Martin, Nugent have all been speculated on but expect someone left field like Bodvarsson if the last few weeks are anything to go by. I know nothing just guessing.
Talisca's plane been grounded yet again so I hear. Tyres didn't meet the tread depth. Engineers fitting a couple of part worn one's so up and away in the next day or week or.



22 Aug 2016 19:21:58
Wolves are monitoring Celtic's 18 year old midfielder Kristoffer Ajer, a bid of £3,000,000.00 is believed to be enough to secure his services. From a reliable source in Compton.



{Ed001's Note - he only signed for them in July.}

22 Aug 2016 20:04:00
😋😂😋😂😂😋😋.



22 Aug 2016 20:54:08
I think Wolves are really serious about signing Jordan Rhodes, that's still the impression you get from reading reports. Villa, Newcastle and those that can afford his wages already have their strikers sorted and everything seems to accidently be falling into our lap. At £10 million this would be one of the greatest coups this window and a far better buy than McCormack or even Dwight Gale. Please God let it happen, if it is true.



22 Aug 2016 20:57:32
My bad, turns out I was being pranked. I should've googled him for myself. Sorry.



22 Aug 2016 21:10:37
Agree 100% wavidsmith, and imo anyone who turns their noses up at him haven't a clue! Come on Big Jeff get it sorted 👍.



22 Aug 2016 21:16:20
Wavid I'm hoping your correct, Rhodes could fire us to promotion if he gets some goals under his belt, him and Bodvarrson and Dicko would be deadly with Mason coming off the bench.



22 Aug 2016 21:48:28
Look at the facts - he can only go to a handful of teams but Sheff Wed, Norwich, Villa, Newcastle have their strikers sorted already. I know Villa want another, but he's far too similar to McCormack, as with Gayle or Foristieri etc. Sheff Wed ruled themselves out months ago and Newcastle are looking for height to accompany Gayle (Idrissa Sylla etc), as are Villa. We would also definitely be favourites if it came down to us or Norwich/ Brighton.

You are a lucky little Shi, arn't you?



22 Aug 2016 22:02:03
The big problem is Rhodes' similarity to Dicko as a goal poacher and Zenga preferring a classic target man (Sylla) . People forget, though, that Rhodes isn't exactly small at 6ft 1 and excellent in the air. One thing is for sure, if he does come in and Dicko makes a full recovery, I doubt you'll see Mason again.



22 Aug 2016 22:24:04
I've always felt Rhodes would play for us at some point, I half expected us to swap Afobe for him. But then ever since we signed him I've had a strong feeling Mason is going to be really good for us.

As long as there's still a place for Mason, we should try and find room for Rhodes :-)



22 Aug 2016 22:31:58
Rhodes is nothing like McCormack or Dicko 😂 Rhodes is a classic centre forward, almost always in the right place ready to score a decent chunk of his teams goals. Dicko and McCormack score goals however, they also like to run at defenders with the ball from deeper positions, both probably contribute a lot more to their respective teams in others let's of play as well. Rhodes doesn't do much other than score goals and that's not always what you need.



22 Aug 2016 22:36:38
Wavid although I completely agree Rhodes would be a fantastic signing reading some of your comments I'm slightly bemused. Rhodes is nothing like sicko McCormack foristerie or any of those you named. All those players have a bit about them outside the box and running wise. Rhodes Is a fantastic goal scorer in this division but offers very little in terms of running ability and his build is more so that of a target man so would fit Walters mould totally. The guy has literally no pace. But he is an excellent goal scoring striker and would love to see us sign him.



22 Aug 2016 23:07:23
I don't know what I meant either, hehe. Rhodes is easily the most selfish striker in the league and Dicko would become his provider if they were to play together. What I meant was about them all being goal poachers and other sides needing target men (yes I know what you mean about Foristieri) . Anyway, I just read about Norwich entering the Rhodes race but hardly surprising considering they've been looking for a striker for two years.



22 Aug 2016 23:31:58
Mason will be class.



23 Aug 2016 09:16:08
Land this guy from Anglers. So coady has some decent opposition for places. And with regards to a new forward we are okay there until January to re-assess.

Mason and Dadi firing. Dicko brings the frightening pace. Zyro can play there and young Ennis if injuries strike again. Whom has shown more than enough to show he can cope.

UTW. So happy with our business done. One more in and bring it on.

Wolves to finish 4th. :-)



23 Aug 2016 09:30:23
Wavidsmith, Mason has found form this season, his goal on Saturday shows what he's capable of. He has Premier experience and should be good at this level. We can only assume Jackett didn't know how to get the best out of him.



23 Aug 2016 09:30:31
Wolves team after the window closes?

Ikeme

Iorfa Batth Hause B-Jackson

Prince Saiss Tex

Dicko Rhodes JDB

Nowadays with a strong midfield and high pressing game you can play 3 forwards who inter-change over the course of the game. Dicko is a capable dribbler and so is JDB. Rhodes would be the main man I think. Must admit that team looks class!



23 Aug 2016 10:11:51
We can't rely on Dicko, he's only beginning to get game time in U23's and he is way off what he was, needs like a pre-season to get back up to speed, he could be ages away before he's of use.

And without him, we have no cover if either Bod or Mason get injured, We have to get in at least one, maybe two, quality strikers for cover, flexibility, and depth.



23 Aug 2016 10:14:15
And Zyro is out injured for whole season, and Ennis and Bright are still development players. We've done too much with the rest of the squad not to be properly serious now with the strikers too, making do and getting by isn't the game we're playing anymore.



23 Aug 2016 12:03:57
BTW didn't I hear Zenga say he wants a number of players in each position? so would make sense for at least another 3 players to cover positions.
(in case you didn't know talisca having medical at Besiktas. )



22 Aug 2016 17:45:35
We are scouting Bobby Roode from Gillingham,16 years old, will be a Glorious signing if it happens.



22 Aug 2016 18:39:04
16 yrs old another one for the future then.



22 Aug 2016 20:53:35
"Another"? Who else did we sign for the future this summer? We've made eight first team signings.



23 Aug 2016 00:40:45
We'll all be dancing off the rooftops over that one 😂😂😂.



23 Aug 2016 09:31:50
Swedewolf - We used to sign so many "for the future" that it became a joke on this forum. Of course some of those futures are now regulars like Evans and Hause.



23 Aug 2016 09:58:46
I've heard he'll defend and won't give in until he's victorious?



23 Aug 2016 12:09:55
couldn't find anything on google about Bobby Roode?



22 Aug 2016 16:27:20
Romain Saiss next signing, commanding CDM or CH, 6ft 3 from Ligue 1 side Angers, looks another top noth player :)



22 Aug 2016 17:31:46
How do you know about Romain Saiss, George?



22 Aug 2016 18:41:23
Guy who first reported Prince signing on another forum has mentioned Romain as next signing, plus now reported by reputable tweeters.



22 Aug 2016 19:38:39
Yh apparently he was having medical today and should be announced tomorrow but don't know how true that is just what I heard.



22 Aug 2016 20:04:59
E and S have now reported it.



23 Aug 2016 18:15:02
Huddersfield town have said "Wolves will have Saiss in by Saturday" in the press on Wolvesnewsnow today.



22 Aug 2016 15:01:31
Andre Cien Almas and Tommaso Ciampa have completed medicals at the club, both from Italian local teams, 18 year olds, will go into youth squad. Nothing major on these two, unrecognised names, but just some news for you.



22 Aug 2016 15:21:18
WWE wrestlers now! What a mess lol!



22 Aug 2016 15:29:25
Glorious.



22 Aug 2016 15:31:12
Expect the short-term signing of Japanese Striker Shinsuke Nakamura soon, will only be for a few months though because he will be called up to his parent club's first team very soon.



22 Aug 2016 15:52:10
My missus was talking to Walter in bed last night and she said, "he should consider trying Ola and Cameron BJ out tomorrow night to rest the guys".

Huddersfield have reduced our allocation from 4000 to 2000 and are offering £10 tickets for game against Wolves.

We've got em worried.
RVLP to get sent off for diving, Wolves to knock em off top spot with goals from Rhodes and Jon Dadi.



22 Aug 2016 16:40:54
I presume (hope) it's the ex Celtic player not the wrestler. Great player a few years ago but getting on a bit now.

(google) He is 38. Can't see why we would sign him, although the wrestler might make a decent centre half.



22 Aug 2016 18:11:37
What was your missus doing in bed with Walter? 😂.



22 Aug 2016 20:56:43
I heard we're signing experienced striker Bryan Lloyd Danielson as well.



22 Aug 2016 22:19:18
She was asking him "if he would get Madonna's autograph, she said"?



22 Aug 2016 22:43:05
So Huddersfield reduced our allocation from 4000 down to 2000 they bricking it we going make so much noise they won't hear own fans if was wolves would insist on full 4000 we going sell out anyway.



22 Aug 2016 14:34:36
Any updates on Luisao?



22 Aug 2016 15:20:18
Luisao and Rhodes and I would be very happy with our squad until January, with the option to upgrade loans or bring in identified permanent deals of similar or better, its early days yet and we need the breathing space to identify those targets to achieve long term objectives, so far so good.



22 Aug 2016 15:40:23
Everyone's forgetting we are still odds on to get Alberto which would complete the midfield.



22 Aug 2016 16:46:18
mate you need to move on from Alberto, he is not coming here said he wants to play in Spain.



22 Aug 2016 19:19:44
Bjarnason, then.



22 Aug 2016 20:08:06
Wud love him mate original link was cross wires as roma are also known as 'wolves'. If our icelandic hero can have a word in his ear and he could see the bigger picture on where our club want to go, would be a massive signing, striker needed first though :)



22 Aug 2016 13:18:49
Official wolves announce Ola John and Cameron Bothwick-Jackson on loan for the season.



22 Aug 2016 13:32:19
Centre half and centre forward then I think we should be done. 2 more very good signings.



22 Aug 2016 13:34:45
Drat!
You just beat me to it Sbrek.

UTW.



22 Aug 2016 13:58:41
Looking good. Wonder if they will be picked to start for Wolves or if they will keep the other signings company on the bench?



22 Aug 2016 14:13:23
Centre half, attacking midfielder and a striker then we should be ready.



22 Aug 2016 14:15:04
sorry wombourne haha. I was actually reading an arcticle in the national saying we had signed Jackson and was about to put the link in when they announced it officially so I couldn't wait to be first in lol.



22 Aug 2016 14:31:49
Doesn't matter if the starting 11 play like they did on Saturday
Important thing is that we have about 25 players for the squad that are all of a good enough quality to win games through the whole season
I like what we are doing now and guess what we've got an actual LB - somebody pinch me
I agree Darbo, a CB (experienced) and another ST should see us ok for a while at least.

It's being reported that we are leading the chase to sign Jordan Rhodes (HITC Sport)



22 Aug 2016 14:32:13
Fantastic news 2 good players, now for a cf and cb come on the WOLVES.



22 Aug 2016 15:56:52
Brilliant signings in positions we did need improving l. I agree we do need a experienced CB and striker (Rhodes would be gr8) but I do think we should also look at CM who has some creativity and can play that final pass. I saw villa was linked to ravel Morrison he's a player I wouldn't say no to.



22 Aug 2016 16:56:10
Morrison and Balotelli and you could have Swan Lake at the Mol. Two Prima Ballerinas!



22 Aug 2016 13:09:54
Looks like Borthwick has signed according to the national.



22 Aug 2016 12:08:29
Apparently wolves have been linked with Jordan Rhodes. I'd take him but not at the 12mil Middlesbrough paid for him.



22 Aug 2016 12:22:06
I reckon we will offer 7.5 for rhodes.



22 Aug 2016 12:26:36
Thats the price for all good strikes at the min tam.8 to 12.and we get dadi for a pinch. if he keeos it up he will be.



22 Aug 2016 12:29:28
I'd have him all day long even at 12 million. Best striker we've been linked with.



22 Aug 2016 12:39:43
Maybe so I think 12mil is alittle strong. Is he better than Martin?



22 Aug 2016 12:46:23
Yes he is.



22 Aug 2016 12:48:39
And imo he's better than McCormack.



22 Aug 2016 13:17:09
12M NO CHANCE, Martin is a better option and cheaper.



22 Aug 2016 13:20:56
What about wages, apparently he is on loads.



22 Aug 2016 13:35:54
Far better goal ratios than Martin and maccormack, be an excellent signin.



22 Aug 2016 13:47:23
He's on £50k per week there. Probably more now they've been promoted.



22 Aug 2016 21:01:47
We will just get him on loan and pay 50% of his wages. we don't do outright buying for anything over 2m these days lol.



22 Aug 2016 11:40:09
Wolves have taken ex Murcia keeper Jack Ruddy on trial - interesting back story and a few clubs want him inc Rangers.



22 Aug 2016 12:06:34
Murcia? Is that a hospital?



22 Aug 2016 12:15:04
Can't see Fosun spending anywhere near what we first thought and the £20-30m over 2 years seems true. We've already spend £5 million, which leaves only another £10 million over the next year.

Forget Rhodes, Sako, Alberto or Bjarnason. I might be wrong but it's becoming more and more obvious they won't go over the £5 million mark for one player.



22 Aug 2016 12:27:15
He is a kid I think.



22 Aug 2016 12:34:17
He's from bury. And we'll see sure they won't sure they won't spend bare minimum in the prem.



22 Aug 2016 12:56:41
We might not need to spend lots wavid such a negative fan. We're doing well so far on what we have spent if we can go up not spending big this year then it leaves us room to spend if we go up.



22 Aug 2016 13:06:29
He's in the U23 squad for tonight against Swansea at Teford. Dicko and Ennis start.



22 Aug 2016 13:06:58
Wavid I'm becoming more and more obvious that you are the most pessimistic Wolves fan and there's a lot! Let's just wait and see there is still 8 days of the transfer to go!



22 Aug 2016 14:00:49
I'm not at all Darbo. I probably just want too much for Wolves.



22 Aug 2016 14:59:57
Who stated that Fosun were going to spend £20-30m over two years?



22 Aug 2016 08:19:20
Ashley young now being linked with Wolves and Watford!



22 Aug 2016 09:29:10
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.



22 Aug 2016 09:38:16
Where?



22 Aug 2016 09:38:21
Wondering how many players we have been linked with, according to this forum anyway. Bet it's over 50 since June.



22 Aug 2016 09:48:19
And the rest, how many have we signed - 5.



22 Aug 2016 10:20:19
you are so right melbourne loads of bullsxxx that's all anderson was the best; on way, work permit, wife having baby etc.



22 Aug 2016 10:40:08
To be honest guys 50 rumours and 5 actual signings that's 10% of the rumours on this site are correct. Now in my book that's not a bad average.

You read all the other mickey Mouse sites and perhaps we are a little hard on ourselves on here.
We know Fk all, we supported a no hope team (under kj) and we are now sitting 3rd in the league with 5 new signings one more that was signed just before Fosun arrived.

Look at the so called experts out there. That dickhead bagatelouie or WTF his name was, he turned out to be a right twot. He was probably to blame for all the snide remarks and backbiting on here with his rubbish predictions. The only thing he got right was Mendes was involved. Then he pissed off on holiday. 😎

So don't be so hard on each other, none of us know diddly squat, we're in for a hell of a 9 days, I will guarantee that with my mortgage. So chill, out lie back, put your hands behind your heads and enjoy "Your Time", yes your time guys and gals, we've waited donkey's years for this so why not enjoy it.

Wolves Am We.



22 Aug 2016 10:45:34
With fixtures coming thick and fast we will need some more signings soon if we are to keep collecting points.



22 Aug 2016 11:12:22
Ok here's my list of rumours:
Messi,
Ronaldo,
Ibrahimovic,
Bale,
Suarez,
Neymar,
Hazard,
Lewandowski,
Reus,
Rodriguez,

Going by your calculations, hopefully one of these will happen now 😂.



22 Aug 2016 11:22:12
many of us have made suggestions for signings that's fine, playing football manager, the stuff we chat to mates about over a point etc but others initiate rumours that get others overly excited to the point that they can't eat, sleep or work or whatever. How many of the actual signings rumoured here made it across the line? I believe the answer is ZERO. Bottom line we all want real info so if you don't have it ( ITK) I for one wish you would stay of this site or do it to Baggies fans.



22 Aug 2016 13:09:01
Werewolf, you can either enjoy the ride or be miserable, your choice mate. 😎.



22 Aug 2016 14:11:15
That's a great list Werewolf but alas no goalkeeper or defenders for that matter. Let's take another punt.

Neuer
Buffon
Courtois
De Gea
Hector
Pepe
Kompany
Mascherano
Chiellini
Umtiti.



21 Aug 2016 23:35:14
Hope the rumours that Zenga has had a bust up with the board are untrue.

https://goo.gl/LkcMoI



22 Aug 2016 07:23:13
rubbish.



22 Aug 2016 07:23:54
Who the hell is Thomas Clements and what does he know. Interesting this is posted by Bhamwolf after Saturday's result. If it is true hopefully it's opposition to Balotelli.



22 Aug 2016 08:04:44
Ithink its a fake account because of his last tweets.



22 Aug 2016 09:35:33
Tom Clements is a Newcastle Fan, on a wind up. He later goes on to say that Zenga has applied to be Rafa's number 2.

He did the same to Watford fans about Pereyra failing a medical.

Mikey Burrows has tweeted this morning that he's going to see WZ for the pre match meeting they always have ahead of Cambridge.

It's a load of tosh.

Once again, I say. Don't believe everything you read on Twitter, until it comes from a source close to Molineux i.e Tim Spiers, Mikey Burrows, Nathan Judah or THE CLUB ITSELF.

That way we can all keep calm!



22 Aug 2016 09:39:04
Blues fan.



22 Aug 2016 10:15:40
Thanks Derbywolf,

What a total plonker this Tom Clements is. Pathetic creature. Probably got a very small p***k.
