Wolves will be willing to pay up to £20m for Tammy Abraham this summer. With Costa leaving the books will be balanced and wolves would be able to spend big to try and clinch promotion. However Newcastle are thought to be interested in Tammy too. Wolves other possible target is Nelson Oliveira for £8M. The second deal looks more likely but i'm also hearing Wolves could use the help of Mendes to clinch Abraham as he is very interested in signing Tammy Abraham to Gestifute before the start of the season.



28 Apr 2017 22:14:20
That does sound interesting. Newcastle have got massive problems right now with criminal investigation regarding back handers to players.

Change starts at the top. Sorry but PL doesn't cut it! He's had time enough for me to assess his impact. however, someone like Marco Silva had an immediate impact on an average team in Hull. Pay up and start rebuilding with quality from the top down. We will be regretting a continuation of the existing structure later if it doesn't happen. ⚽️👍😉.

WOLVESCOAST. you are right, but the top is the Director of Football. If he is still here next season, we will be in for another poor season, never mind Promotion.
He has overseen the creation of this very, very poor squad.
Out of the 34 players, only 4/ 5 seniors good enough. Plus a few youngsters with prospects. Hardly the basis for Championship domination!



29 Apr 2017 07:40:59
Rugeleywolf2 your right of course. Doubt that will happen though! How many English players play in and around the top of our two top leagues anyone? Tough decisions are needed to be made now! Quality always pays dividends in the end. ⚽️👍😉.



29 Apr 2017 18:07:40
I am afraid we need to at least try to temp Marco Silva to the club. It must now be obvious we can't stay with the status quo can we? As for only signing British players, my view on that is a quality manager will attract quality players from the strong leagues around the world. Yes, we need British players, but a complement of quality foreign players too. How many games have we one in the last 6? Please someone at the club take notice.! We have to look upwards in management and playing staff. ⚽️👍😉.



29 Apr 2017 19:42:51
Agree WOLVESCOAST.



29 Apr 2017 19:53:53
I think we should give Lambert one more transfer window, there's no point going with someone random and I know I like Silva but if Zenga wasn't put as manager in the first place then we might of had a successful season.



29 Apr 2017 20:46:18
Yeah let's waste next season as well before this one is even finished! The guy is useless and out of his depth. Fosun please get rid now! 🙏🙏🙏.



28 Apr 2017 13:35:43
Lambert saying he's looking to concentrate on buying British in the summer.



28 Apr 2017 13:43:14
He's confident of staying then?



28 Apr 2017 14:17:11
If he stays and just looks at British players he won't be here long! I'm not convinced he's stayin, he came here sayin we could finish top 6 but we end up nearer bottom 6. Hopefully Mendes has some influence over Fosun and with Lambert statin he's lookin predominantly at British players it's another nail in his coffin. Thellwell and Lambert OUT! They haven't got a scooby!



28 Apr 2017 14:46:02
He obviously forgets a foreigner has save his job for now! COSTA.



28 Apr 2017 14:48:28
I thought he meant players of any nationality but currently playing in Britain with experience of the league.



28 Apr 2017 15:02:48
Jas u love the guy he could relegate us to the conference and you'd still be blowin him.



28 Apr 2017 15:20:08
Paul T, you are going to have to accept that Lambert is going to be here for the start of pre-season. The Jeff Shi interviews recently suggested as much. Anyone who thinks we have a chance of getting Silva, I'm afraid we missed the boat last summer. Regardless of what happens to Hull, he has built a reputation already and will be in the Premiership somewhere next season. Arguing to through money at him will not always work as Premier status mostly trumps a short term windfall as he will get more in the Prem especially as his reputation grows.

With regard to Costa, yes he is an exceptionally good player but think back to the start of the season - he was not up to the Championship at the start and did not save Zenga's job. Just think back 5 years when Solbakken arrived - we got a flood of foreign players who could not hack it in this league with the exception of Sako, and this year we find ourselves in exactly the same position. The rebuilding of the club was based on shrewd signings of players who knew the league and giving players who had a point to prove a chance. It worked to walk League 1 and give us an exciting first season back in the Championship.

The money we will get for Costa and Cav (who I think we will lose money on) will just put us back to 12 months ago before we signed the dross. We have had one success in 12 this season following the summers recruitment, so I think Lambert is right to target people with experience in this country. I remember posting when we signed the Portuguese quartet how many will fancy a winters Tuesday night at places like Oakwell (admittedly we won there on a Tuesday night, but you know my argument! ) .

And again I will state that I do not like Mendes having an influence on Fosun as there is a massive conflict of interest as his recommendations will ultimately line his own pocket. If we need an adviser then appoint an experienced football man who is going to be independent.



28 Apr 2017 16:07:50
Jas M is correct he wants players familiar with playing in this country, not just British players. or so I read anyway.



28 Apr 2017 16:31:14
Im not convinced he will still b here after the season ends he's had some good results but he's had a lot of bad results as well we just need the quality players that will get us up foreign or British I still don't think fosun have got the manager they really want.



28 Apr 2017 16:54:03
No PT. If he fails to perform then yes he should go. However I don't think 1 transfer window is enough for him to overhaul the squad. Also, I've read the article and he clearly says that he wants players with experience of the British game, not British players as that would be kind of discriminatory.



28 Apr 2017 16:55:52
If PT is to be believed regarding British players then all those calling for Bakary Sakos return, forget it because he ain't British.



28 Apr 2017 17:23:58
He wants a British Core!



28 Apr 2017 17:29:47
if the worse comes to the worse and Lambert is still here in August let's see u cheerin when Edwards Saville and Batth are still in the startin line up.



28 Apr 2017 17:36:29
We need a QUALITY CORE whichever country they come from!



28 Apr 2017 17:49:29
I don't think anyone is disputing that we need a quality core and that we need a clear out, Paul.



28 Apr 2017 20:15:57
Again someone didn't agreed with PT so he resorted to name calling and personal insults. Classy.



28 Apr 2017 20:49:25
Banter Jas get broader shoulders, but u do love Lambert 👨‍❤️‍👨.



28 Apr 2017 22:11:00
Paul tamworth u need to have patience mate. We can all see we need signings to compete at the top end of the table even lambert has said we need 4 quality signings minimum so why are u saying lambert out? Because he wants players who can play in the championship? We should do what u say paul let's sack lambert have Sousa in and sign a bunch of Portuguese players. Get real mate. U may get away with signing quality foreign players in the prem because it's a completely different division to championship. But I think u underestimate how hard and physical the championship is. Look at Swansea under Rodgers they played great football probably the best in division but could only settle for a play off place after 2 seasons under him but they get promoted and play the exact same way and end up mid table in prem. As much as it isn't pretty to watch at times but managers like bruce, Mccarthy, warnock etc get promoted from the division. We all want to see quality at our club and play great football but its hard to play that way in this division. You need to grind out results. Why do u think benitez didn't sign a load of foreign players when he could easily of attracted them. He signed players like gayle, Ritchie, Murphy, Hanley. I wonder why? We've got a manager who knows the division but he's got to have a full pre season and a full transfer window. If we are at the wrong end of the table come November then I'll totally agree with u but until then you've got to give him a chance. We can't keep chopping and changing, we need stability.



28 Apr 2017 22:15:05
PT. In an ideal world i'd like to see Mourinho in charge with Pep and Antonio Conte as coaches. But in all seriousness, I just can't see the point in getting rid of Lambert without giving him a decent run at transforming the squad. I know we're playing shockingly bad and PL can't inspire the team but neither could Kenny, Walter or Rob Edwards hence why the squad needs an overhaul. I just believe that Lambert has been here long enough to establish who needs to go and who needs to come in. A new manager would want to assess the players already here again.



28 Apr 2017 22:31:48
I'd love to be proved wrong about Lambert because that means Wolves are doing the business. But when u see Savillle Edwards and Batth startin in August you will soon see I was right. Everyone has an opinion but I'm hopin Fosun agree with mine.



28 Apr 2017 22:46:26
Saville is going apparently. Batth should go.



28 Apr 2017 22:56:58
To be honest Jas any of the players out of contract I'd release.



29 Apr 2017 14:24:50
Completely agree Paul, would love to see all those pieces of scrap thrown back into the gabarge Saville isn't even good enough to play for Rotherham.
