Wolves after Paul gladon from heracles.
25 Aug 2016 19:17:53
We heard this hours ago. Also why has it taken 5 days to confirm saiss. I thought you agreed a fee first before before they were allowed to talk to a team not agree everything then try to agree a fee.
25 Aug 2016 19:19:20
Oh Knight I think you might be in for some stick!
25 Aug 2016 19:33:52
Knight's got Felix's ITK crown in his sights!

Better off signing Paul Robinson from Neighbours! I think a lot of people are right when they say we won't pay the money. Think Zenga has been given a transfer cap at less than £5million a player. May change with promotion though.
25 Aug 2016 20:02:26
Let's wait to see I think the signings so far have been excellent and I trust Zenga and Bhutti more than I did with Jacket. Saying that they do have a larger budget. Let's not assume that just because they're not paying millions that the players are rubbish. I recall as certain Mahrez.
25 Aug 2016 20:33:12
Wolves have made a double swoop for some guys named Steve Bull and Andrew Thompson from Handsworth Throstles - anyone heard of them? lol - Sorry Knight ;)
25 Aug 2016 20:44:55
Middlesborough fans think Rhodes' agent has been thrashing out a deal with Wolves since last night and Rhodes himself was at Compton today with view to a loan/ buy. Zenga, however, certainly didn't mention it to Tim in the press conference when asked earlier. It's difficult to tell, but I certainly don't think Gladon is the only striker coming in before the window shuts and for us to still be first favourites with the bookies must say something.
25 Aug 2016 21:00:04
I wasn't going by what it says on Twitter, before you ask. Just what their fans were saying on a forum earlier.
25 Aug 2016 21:33:52
I hope your right wavidsmith 👍.
25 Aug 2016 21:29:34
I think the the team for Saturday will be:
Lange
Robinson
Mountfield
Madden
Venus
Froggatt
Streete
Downing
Dennison
Bull
Mutch/ paskin
Thoughts?
25 Aug 2016 22:13:51
John Paskin is without doubt the worst centre forward I have seen play at Molineux.
25 Aug 2016 22:16:03
;that you might need to see a doctor, pompeywolf.
25 Aug 2016 22:32:08
Well Wavid I must admit I was going to change Madden for Hindmarch and Statto I'm sorry I'll change Paskin for Darren Roberts. Hope that is better for you both.
25 Aug 2016 22:37:28
Pompey need the pyhsio on that one but what a team. Streete I midfield I would have to change for Rae what a CM.
25 Aug 2016 22:44:55
Yes Darbo I think big Tony would have to work on them first. Yes Rae was quality but what about bringing in Paul Stewart and Carl Robinson in to the midfield and Mike Stowell in goal!
25 Aug 2016 22:45:48
Let us not forget the mighty Paul Blades.
25 Aug 2016 22:46:48
Any shouts for Colin Cameron?
25 Aug 2016 22:49:26
Personally speaking Mountfield wouldn't get anywhere near my team. Never rated him. Thought his replacement Shirtliff was better.
Also just read Wolves are very interested in Bradley Dack of Gillingham. I have to admit, tho, that he is a fabulous young midfielder. See You Tube.
25 Aug 2016 22:58:04
Wavid Peter Shirtliff, what a shout that is! Totally agree Dack is a great forward thinking midfielder. At least a 10 goal a season man.
25 Aug 2016 23:00:29
Best midfielder from the 90's was Geoff Thomas, by a mile. Such a powerhouse and still my biggest idol.
25 Aug 2016 23:06:08
Mark Walters on loan was a player.
25 Aug 2016 23:07:05
A team of Gary breens, a team of Gary breens!
25 Aug 2016 23:13:37
Tim Steele, amazing but so injury prone. Wavid I'll take your Geoff Thomas and raise you Mark Rankine?
25 Aug 2016 23:13:52
Just imagine the carnage if we had Shane Westley and Kevin Muscat in the same team!
25 Aug 2016 23:17:33
Mrcwwfc, number 1 is Robbie Keane, number 2 is Robbie Keane, number 3 is Robbie Keane.
25 Aug 2016 23:23:21
Statto don't forget John De Wolf.
25 Aug 2016 23:33:43
Who can ever forget John De Wolf, Pompey? I will never forgive Lee Howey for ruining both his and Geoff Thomas's Wolves careers.
25 Aug 2016 23:34:33
I watched many a game with Mark Rankine and Burke in midfield. Usually from the Cullis behind the goal, looking over and seeing only a field where the current Billy Wright was to be built. Those were the days, eh?
25 Aug 2016 23:34:39
De Wolf was one of my all time favs but still wouldn't make it in my all time XI. My all time XI based on players I have seen live at the mol (first game 1986 v halifax)
Murray
Irwin
Richards
Lescott
McNamara
Kightly
Rae
Ince
Dennison
Bull
Keane
Subs:
Stowell
Pollett
Thomas
Ndah
Ebanks Blake
Fletcher
Jarvis.
25 Aug 2016 23:45:06
Agree George Richards RIP was quality and Murray was going to make it big before his injury. Wavid I was only allowed I'm the Waterloo Road end in those days. Remember the bus from Stafford only so well, past the Michelin tyres factory.
25 Aug 2016 23:49:32
Bloody hell Wavid I had completely forgotten about Mark Burke. He was an absolute genius. One of the most gifted players I've ever seen.
26 Aug 2016 11:28:00
Did someone mention Shane Westley? Legend.
26 Aug 2016 11:54:02
Kenall
Thompson
Streete
Robertson
Bellamy
Downing
Dennison
Vaughan
Cook
Bull
Mutch.
26 Aug 2016 13:24:56
I think that you may well be a closet Crystal Palace fan Wavidsmith. I see from many of your posts that you are a big advocate for Sako's return ( very debatable whether he could operate effectively on our new narrow pitch) and now you state that Geoff Thomas was our star midfielder 'by a mile' of the 1990's. He certainly starred for your team (Crystal Palace! ) but on moving to the Wolves only averaged about 10 games a season and I don't recall him starring too often. How is life in Croydon?
26 Aug 2016 15:32:37
Yes definitely a Palace fan. I see that you've now suggested Saha! No way would he drop a division. Next you'll be suggesting a return for Hennessy!
25 Aug 2016 17:20:58
Saiss has passed a medical for wolves.
25 Aug 2016 17:35:03
We're you here this my friend.
25 Aug 2016 20:20:01
This gladon looks a decent player great with his back to goal bit like Harry Kane I hope lol.
25 Aug 2016 21:23:57
Ed: Where did*.
25 Aug 2016 14:57:35
Paul Gladon. you heard it first from me.
25 Aug 2016 15:09:53
I read it on Twitter about half an hour ago!
25 Aug 2016 15:12:25
Paul Gladon? Pop star?
25 Aug 2016 15:12:29
Yeh saw it on mol mix about hour ago he's Dutch forward. Suppose to sign today.
25 Aug 2016 15:18:13
I don't go on Mol mix. I knew earlier on but have only just came online. its 100 % done.
25 Aug 2016 15:32:05
Wouldn't help with our Penalty Conundrum then would he?
25 Aug 2016 15:41:28
Not exactly a "goal machine".
But fits into the "over 6 foot tall" stipulation that seems to be in place under the Zenga/ Fosun stewardship!
25 Aug 2016 15:48:50
Is this the guy that missed 2 consecutive penalties!?
25 Aug 2016 15:56:31
Broke a record for missing two penalties in a minute.
25 Aug 2016 16:01:59
4 goals in his last 24 appearances? Maybe a squad filler with Rhodes to come? ( Hopefully)
25 Aug 2016 16:45:14
Felix you know nothing.
25 Aug 2016 16:47:26
Felix why do pretend to be in the know grow up we all read it ages ago.
25 Aug 2016 16:58:22
The same person to miss two penalties in a minute.
25 Aug 2016 17:04:21
He'd be a very poor signing! We've to set our sights high when it comes to another Striker! We need one who'll be able to get us 20 goals in a season! For me, it got to be Jordon Rhodes, as he knows the Championship inside out and certainly knows where the goal is! I hope we don't go down the road of signing too many foreigners and end up having a Solbakken situation!
25 Aug 2016 17:25:55
Agreed Rusko we need the right blend, I think a Rhodes, Martin or Nugent is a must. Rhodes would be my selection.
25 Aug 2016 17:29:44
Felix. paw paw Felix you do try and fail miserably at the itk game, give it up.
25 Aug 2016 18:01:08
His first touch is outstanding. pace. wins heads. its will be good to give dadi arest here and there very clever on the clubs part.
25 Aug 2016 18:21:19
What's not to say that Bodvarsson will score 20 this season.
25 Aug 2016 18:31:27
We def need a penalty taker, this guy takes plenty, just doesn't score many.
25 Aug 2016 18:47:46
Rhodes no chance not when we have signed gladon for 1m.
25 Aug 2016 19:37:22
Very clever the blokes rubbish and carnt score penaltys may aswell have Duffy up front.
25 Aug 2016 19:37:22
Very clever the blokes rubbish and carnt score penaltys may aswell have Duffy up front.
25 Aug 2016 20:42:25
Given enough games Mason could hit 20 goals this season, as could bodvarsson - IMO.
25 Aug 2016 20:56:37
Give the guy a chance, 4 in 24 is a bit misleading (20 were sub appearances), he's started 5 games this season and scored 3 already (so 20 a season sounds very possible) .
25 Aug 2016 01:53:46
Hello all, hope everyone is doing well.
On to Jordan Rhodes this was posted 1 day ago. on sky sports news, with at the bottom reading " Sky sources Wolves interested in signing Middlesbrough striker Jordan Rhodes " so I would suspect a bid will be made before deadline day, I just hope Wolves pay the money straight away rather than leaving it very late
goo.gl/A25Lkb
25 Aug 2016 09:24:12
If we're after him I'd of thought a bid has already been put in? Why wait?
25 Aug 2016 09:46:02
It's either us or Derby now which could well mean we end up with Chris Martin. Rather have Rhodes, obviously.
25 Aug 2016 09:49:45
It's all cat and mouse at the moment and we will show our hand on the last day. I'm starting to take all of the rubbish on Twitter with a pinch of salt and the so called agents or ITK are all rubbish. No one again suggested Saisse or the other signings before hand so I'm just waiting for next Wednesday I think it's going to be crazy.
25 Aug 2016 09:58:32
I agree Darbo, since the takeover the so called ITK posters haven't a clue unless their sources understand Chinese Portugese or Italian! 😂.
25 Aug 2016 10:22:09
Is it just me who would prefer Chris Martin? Fair enough Jordan Rhodes can get the goals but he is a target man, he puts himself in the right places where as Martin creates goals aswell as scoring a lot created by himself.
25 Aug 2016 10:27:23
Why do you people post updates that are days old.
25 Aug 2016 10:30:22
Villa now favourit to sign him. I hope we don't miss this one he would be a great capture.
25 Aug 2016 10:44:46
Wolves back favourites on at 11/ 4, villa back out to 11/ 2.
25 Aug 2016 10:44:53
Look at Rhodes goal ratio to games compared with Martins? Only one winner? Rhodes.
25 Aug 2016 11:34:55
It's all about Villa going for Hernandez or Valencia. They don't think Hernandez is worth £14m but the bid has to be in by tomorrow. Rhodes would prob choose Villa over us.
25 Aug 2016 11:59:08
These big money signings won't happen.
Just because we owned by billionaires don't expect no more then 5m on any one player.
Two more to come in that will be it.
25 Aug 2016 12:27:18
You say that Pezza but we have bid 6m for Martin already?
I don't think we'll be spending 20m on a player but I can certainly see a 10m+ offer for a striker like Rhodes. Our owners are clever, they'll realise we need a reliable goal scorer and Zenga has already said he wants another striker.
Time will tell though, one things for sure, nobody on here is 'in the know'.
25 Aug 2016 12:56:24
If he costs £10m, he won't cost us £10m, because we could re-sell him. It's a no-brainer to help in a push for promotion to the Prem that would make what it did cost us a drop in the ocean of the riches we'd be into. That's how Boro saw it and it worked, they're promoted and can now sell him for what they paid.
If he's available, we should be front of the queue for Rhodes and for another decent striker on top. I think it's time for Fosun to man up and get players in that can hit the ground running. There's no pre-season, our team isn't settled, gelled and up to speed yet, the season has already started, every point we drop as new Euro players get up to speed is a dent in our promotion hopes.
If Euro players are a good idea, then them as well, not instead of. We have Mendes as a tied agent, we shouldn't be scared of buying and re-selling.
25 Aug 2016 13:02:25
£20m on one player would be too risky. Imagine after a few games he gets injured and out for the season!
Happened to all our best attackers last season (Dicko, Graham, Zyro)
I'm quite impressed by the shrewd loan signings and bargains we've got so far.
If we want to buy goals to get Wolves promoted its at least going to cost £5m plus! That's just the state of the current transfer market sadly.
25 Aug 2016 14:20:08
ULF - bit harsh on the Euro signings. I'd say Bod, Tex and Costa who have been available have slotted in seamlessly. Bod, arguably has been our best player to date.
25 Aug 2016 14:22:35
Wilfried Zaha for right wing? He wants move from Palace and could replace Henry/ Wallace.
25 Aug 2016 14:45:26
But Bod had the Euro campaign that has kept him up to speed, and he was here before the season started to help him get up to speed with the team.
While Tex and Costa are great but not up to speed, Costa has only just been able to play in a cup game against Cambridge. Prince Onion is well off the pace, and who knows when we'll see Ola John, not even on bench against Cambridge.
Nothing against Euro players, happy with everyone we've signed, but we're in a live campaign and need to stop faffing around with potential, we need to get on with actual.
25 Aug 2016 15:00:27
Unbelievable what we paid for Bod, he brings much more to the game than virtually any other current Championship striker. He hold up the ball, makes sure it sticks and physically batters defenders to unsettle them. He has a good eye for a pass and plays other team members in to keep the move going forward quickly. He has great pace and a good shot. Can't wait to see him play alongside Dicko the combined pace will terrify defences. Mason is coming on Costa will enjoy working with Bod and Ennis would look good in that frontline. I just wish Zyro was nearer to full fitness. But in truth I'm not that bothered about Rhodes or Martinas neither has the pace that matches up to the rest of our forwards, although Rhodes can finish and Martin is a good option as cover for Bod and will bring others into the game. First choice for me would be just find us another Bod.
25 Aug 2016 16:14:48
Alfie Mawson conformation fro twitter;
goo.gl/jZ9sDs
25 Aug 2016 16:01:20
So what if Bod had the Euro campaign. Along with Tex and Costa, they've made an instant impact!
25 Aug 2016 18:27:20
Yes but neither Tex nor Costa are fully match fit yet (or haven't been so far) . Neither played against Brum, and Prince Onion wasn't up to speed for it when he came one.
I'm very happy we signed all of them but we're in a live season now, we haven't got time for players to get up to speed. Our greatest potential gain isn't in some player that we buy who mightbe good enough and who will be worth more in the future, our greatest potential is getting to the Prem, everything is kind of riding on that or we're just making a loss and stacking debt against the club with what we're spending on agents fees and increased wages.
Very happy with more Euro's with potential being signed as we need depth, it's a long season and we want to do cup runs as well, but I think we need to get serious over a couple of players we know we can rely on to do the job. Like Rhodes, Martin, Afobe etc.
26 Aug 2016 15:34:19
Palace fan (Wavidsmith) no way will Saha drop a division. Please get real.
25 Aug 2016 00:33:54
Been told tonight that Romain Saiss is a done deal but we want to unveil him as a double deal along with Benjamin Moukandjo of Lorient. The person who told me this seems to be very sure of this I am however sceptical. Just thought I'd pass it on and see if anyone has heard anything similar?
25 Aug 2016 08:01:53
I hope this is true, he's been linked with Liverpool and Tescos last few months, he's fast, skilfull and can actually take pens.
25 Aug 2016 09:29:02
Hope it isn't true, we need a proven striker, I'll be very disappointed if Fosun don't get a proper striker in like Rhodes and it's another speculative Euro. We've no pre-season to bring these players up to speed.
25 Aug 2016 09:37:41
I'll be honest and say I have never heard of him! I had to Google to see who he was when I was told we were in for him.
If we get him or not I do think we will definitely get another striker.
25 Aug 2016 09:52:10
Moukandjo looks like the complete forward on YouTube! Fast, strong, good in the air and two-footed.
Reminds me of Adebayor. I think he would offer a lot to Wolves. Arguably more than Rhodes?!
If this double swoop is true. Last piece of business is a CB. Shane Duffy or Alfie Mawson would be great!
25 Aug 2016 12:12:15
MAWSON has said he'd prefer Sunderland. DUFFY plays for Blackburn who are up rubbish creek without a paddle financially and owners who want their money back. I'd settle for either but think DUFFY is more likely and in the circs think we could dictate the price a bit more.
