26 Aug 2016 17:03:05
Paul Gaydon confirmed.
26 Aug 2016 17:31:50
Beat me to it Matty. Centre half next. Any Palace players you can recommend Wavidsmith?!
26 Aug 2016 17:35:53
Would much sooner of heard confirmation of Romain Saiss having signed, wonder if it's still on?
26 Aug 2016 18:00:05
I know our new striker isn't ex Palace, Wavidsmith but surely you'll be feeling Gladon all over. Boom boom!
26 Aug 2016 18:11:47
Swansea agree a few for Alfie Mawson thought it was always a long shot not being in the Prem! Let's get Saisse sorted and I'm really buzzing when everyone is up to speed.
26 Aug 2016 18:20:17
Alfie Mawson is next I believe as he has agreed personal terms.
26 Aug 2016 18:22:11
Sorry Old Wulf lol that's 1 to me and many to you.
26 Aug 2016 18:24:15
£5 mil for Mawson is a lot of money for an unproven 22 year old. I think Swansea are welcome to him.
26 Aug 2016 18:37:12
Mawson 5 mil, makes Luisao seem a bargain.
26 Aug 2016 19:23:06
Yes i'm, Gladon all over. Yes i'm, Gladon all over.
26 Aug 2016 19:48:31
I expect another striker coming in and a centre back and I want this saisse to come in aswell so team would be
Ikeme
Lorfa? Bath silvio (when fit)
Tex oniangue
Costa dadi dicko
And new striker
Then that would leave strong bench with the likes of john and jackson and gladon.
26 Aug 2016 20:34:05
I'd still like to see a serious bid for Bjarnason (£5-6m) to complete the midfield, one quality striker and centre back. This would make a seriously good squad.
26 Aug 2016 21:25:27
Wavid if Burnley are interested we might struggle due to them being in the Prem but I agree he would be a very good addition with a new centre half.
26 Aug 2016 22:15:22
I read Zenga is a huge admirer and Bjarnason wants Wolves. Yes, I admit it was on Twitter, but it's still encouraging. Would love to see him made captain and going box to box aka Geoff Thomas on the left side of midfield. Unfortunately, the fact we have John/ Costa and Graham as left sided players may put pay to this idea.
26 Aug 2016 19:54:04
Sidney are we down to 9 men?
27 Aug 2016 07:41:08
No the? Is for the new defender and got to add top striker.
27 Aug 2016 09:34:10
Half of us don't no the players till we youtube them' then moan we don't sign them. lol its only there best bits on there. let the club do there own thing .5 weeks ago we was fav to go down. be thankfull.
27 Aug 2016 12:09:33
Nobody knows these players and we all judge them on a 3 minute video. If anyone says different, they are lying.
27 Aug 2016 13:48:54
I think we should just keep waiting until transfer deadline day then we can really start moaning.
26 Aug 2016 12:24:48
Carl Ikeme subject to bids from Charlton and Burton.
26 Aug 2016 12:36:52
Rubbish.
26 Aug 2016 12:37:24
What are you smoking?
26 Aug 2016 13:00:17
What a load of old TOSH! He's one of, if not, the best goalkeepers in the Championship! WZ is not stupid enough to get rid of a Class Performer!
26 Aug 2016 13:09:17
Never did I say those bids would be accepted.
26 Aug 2016 15:16:37
😂😂😂😂😂😋😋.
26 Aug 2016 15:17:14
They do not even exist in the first place.
26 Aug 2016 15:55:30
He's worth 2-3 million. Easy. Burton 😂😂😂😂.
27 Aug 2016 12:28:05
Utter garbage.
26 Aug 2016 12:13:24
Dicko in 1st team squad for tomorrow.
26 Aug 2016 12:27:05
Is that confirmed? I just noticed that he's not in today's U23 squad.
I'd price Dicko at £10m easy so it's like we are getting a new big money signing
Soon he'll be terrorising defences again, hoping he's fit enough for tmrw.
26 Aug 2016 12:28:00
Rhodes move broken down, talking to Norwich. Find it hard to believe a company worth £50billion won't pay certain clauses. What a joke.
26 Aug 2016 12:29:56
Dicko in neither squad he's only just played 65 mins he's no where near first team football.
26 Aug 2016 12:38:13
What clauses?
26 Aug 2016 13:06:12
sorry, that must have sounded like I was ITK, but I read it on Twitter so could be garbage. I read it was about his wages increasing after 25 games and a discrepancy with the fee after loan.
26 Aug 2016 13:06:18
Fosun is a business Wavidsmith and they'll be running Wolves as a business. I believe and I assume that they do to that there are far better business propositions out there than a throw back target man like Rhodes. There will be another left field signing like Bodvarsson in my view rather than any of the 'names' being bandied about.
26 Aug 2016 13:26:44
Just cause we got billions in the bank it don't mean we should just throw money around aka Newcastle style of u remember the press conference when fosun took over Jeff said money would be spent wisely -so if that means we get loans and only pay wages so be it rather that than like villa buy players then if promoted got buy again but still have previous bought players on wage bill thus end up with players u don't want so have try sell 1st - from what I can see only reason British players not being bought in abundance is they cost too much ( over inflated prices) we want value for money not just a signing for sale making one.
26 Aug 2016 13:48:32
Twitter is 95% bull, only a couple of decent sources on there, nobody knows anything about us even interested in rhodes let alone discussing terms!
26 Aug 2016 14:09:08
Doesn't matter what you say, there are few better goal scorers than Rhodes. And at £10 million for a guy who is still only 26, makes perfect sense. If you want the best, you have to be prepared to pay for it.
Also, Rhodes does suit counter attacking football and doesn't just stand there like a dead weight. If you're after that, go buy Chris Martin.
26 Aug 2016 15:53:59
Got to agree Wavidsmith, Rhodes is the guy for this league. Come on Big Jeff anybody with an ounce of football knowledge will tell you to get him in.
26 Aug 2016 16:31:32
How do you even know Rhodes wants to sign for us?
How do you know anything about any of the factors involved?
As someone on here said recently, it isn't like buying a Mars Bar from a shop.
Get a grip.
26 Aug 2016 16:43:08
Guys I know Rhodes would be great for us but think about it like this:
1. Rhodes has actually not yet been tested in the premier league ( I believe) .
2. So unless everyone is 100% sure we're going to get promoted this season, he won't come as he wants to prove his worth in the premier league.
3. Also I thought Zenga was going for the people that no one had heard of.
26 Aug 2016 17:03:46
What a load of nonsense! Get real fella! We wil not spend big just yet. Keep the faith, Fosun knows what they are doing.
26 Aug 2016 17:18:21
Surely British players / players already with UK clubs aren't as expensive to Fosun as they seem to us, because the £ crashed at Brexit. Did it recover? If not or not much, then Fosun's money is originally probably in Dollars, buys a lot more Sterling these days so players at British clubs cheaper in real terms.
Did the Euro currency also crash against Dollar because of Brexit?
26 Aug 2016 18:26:17
Nothing to with brexit or the value of the pound Ulf. It simply comes down to the fact FOSUN can get more bang for their buck by buying abroad than in the over-inflated, bloated British market.
26 Aug 2016 19:11:08
I agree, but just wondered if the drop in Sterling value might have deflated UK prices in real terms and so balanced it out a bit. But would only work if Euro hadn't dropped against Dollar too, don't know if it did or not.
27 Aug 2016 08:09:19
No it didn't Ulf.
26 Aug 2016 12:11:17
Willy Boly rejected a 6.8 miliion move and Jack Ruddy nearing a move.
26 Aug 2016 10:24:09
Wolves after Mauricio Pinilla of Atalanta, from italian football daily web site.
goo.gl/hQGuxs
26 Aug 2016 11:40:04
Wouldn't bother 32 not been banging them in at Atlanta better out there.
26 Aug 2016 14:28:32
He'd rather stay in Italy.
26 Aug 2016 07:56:01
Wolverhampton attempt a move for striker Pinilla from Atalanta
Source twitter gianluca di marzio.
26 Aug 2016 08:31:48
He likes a bicycle kick.
26 Aug 2016 08:39:03
He's 32 :- (
We seem to be all in for doing it this season, our loanees are only for 12 months, but we're falling down on spending money to get a proven striker we can rely on.
As long as promotion isn't considered essential this season and they don't blame Zenga for failing to achieve it fine, but otherwise, if Fosun are demanding promotion this season, if we fail it will be their own fault for not spending, not Walters. I hope they don't go raising expectations, fail them then try blaming anyone else.
26 Aug 2016 08:55:07
Thay said two season. wot you going to get on there back after three months lol.
26 Aug 2016 09:01:24
Have to agree Ulf, but will wait till the window closes to praise or criticise transfer deals. Quality striker and centre half still needed imo.
26 Aug 2016 09:27:52
No Dappa, I never expected them to seriously try for promotion this season because of buying late, having no pre-season, new manager, new players with no time to gel the team etc.
But Walter has done an awesome job and given us real hope of promotion that I don't think we were really entitled to this season. So I don't mind if we fall short this season, I just hope if we do they don't blame Walter because I think he's the best thing to happen to Wolves in decades, maybe since Bully and I want him here long-term.
26 Aug 2016 09:53:20
Chill everyone. We will sign a striker. We may not get promotion this season but it won't be for want of trying, but I think we will.
Walter is unbeaten in five matches so far and we are fast improving. To put things into perspective, a year ago we signed Grant Holt.
26 Aug 2016 10:27:24
Why is everyone getting so worried for? He's been looking at back up strikers and wanted Pinilla before Gladon, that's all. They are still after Rhodes or similar.
26 Aug 2016 10:45:11
We have January too, trust in zenga hrs turned last seasons starting 11, + Bodvarsson Into a winning and unbeaten side.
26 Aug 2016 11:20:04
Fairplay lads we are the wokf pack. we stick togeather.
26 Aug 2016 11:23:27
Afobe is linked now. The only thing that worries me is why a company worth £50 billion are only taking loaned players for the first 2 years. Even if we signed Rhodes, it would also end up a 12 month loan. It must be some sort of financial stipulation.
26 Aug 2016 11:42:06
Why give long term contracts? Easier to move them on if their no good, with no losses on transfer fees. Plus pay bigger wages to get better quality loans. Makes sense to me, then offer them long term contracts if we achieve our goal.
26 Aug 2016 11:58:13
Very smart loans i'd say.
26 Aug 2016 12:02:44
I think they've been very good so far we are not talking about players for the future hear we are talking now and let's face it we haven't had a bad start. If Dadi had scored the penalty we would be level top with Huddersfield. I'm pleased about the amount of goals we've conceded compared to last year and can only see us getting stronger. From Zengas comments he's looking to bulk out the squad which is probably why they are after so many. I expect at least 2 strikers and 2 defenders/ defensive midfielders to come in the next five days. Because of the amount of loans we have I would think they will be purchased. If we get a positive result tomorrow it will propel us with more confidence as Huddesfield beat Newcastle.
26 Aug 2016 12:19:42
The idea of player loans (and a lot clubs do this now) is in my opinion because the wages the player / agent demands scare the club to commit to a player on a crippling 3 year wage who is happy to stay and pick up easy money once their holiday period up and mediocre performances put them in the reserves .
Look what it did to Portsmouth and plenty others as well .
26 Aug 2016 20:48:55
I don't mind now, happy with Gladon, think he will be good in our system. Still need another striker but happy if another continetal, new names to England will make them more ours, mean they belong more and play for the shirt and us and the pack, than poaching star players off other English clubs.
