Zenga has requested to bring in a player called Okaka, don't know much about the player but he's Italian. This is from a very good source.
30 Jul 2016 23:09:20
He would've been with him at Sampdoria. He's Anderlecht's best player and won't come cheap.
30 Jul 2016 23:53:27
He's looks like akinfenwa size, hopefully better.
31 Jul 2016 10:04:18
His club have warned him to 'lose weight and get into shape or risk being sold'. He has spat his dummy out and is considering leaving.
31 Jul 2016 10:09:14
Okaka's not too happy at Anderlecht as he has been told he is overweight and needs to get back to full fitness so he has been left out of the team. They would be willing to sell him if an offer was good enough. Who knows?
31 Jul 2016 10:21:41
So he's a fat bloke with an attitude!
Haven't we just binned one of those?
31 Jul 2016 11:23:33
Exeterwolf, that's one of the best comments I've read in ages. Nice one 👍🏼👍🏼.
31 Jul 2016 11:38:08
Hey, I'm a fat bloke with an attitude so can I also apply for the job?
31 Jul 2016 12:09:48
Not with that attitude you can't.
31 Jul 2016 12:56:51
Stuwolf, you're obviously a "fattist" or an "attitudist". Shame on you!
31 Jul 2016 13:28:50
No mate, I'm a Fatalist and an Altitudalist, ( Same thing I suppose)
👍.
31 Jul 2016 14:01:04
Doncaster - that's not StuWolf's real photo y'know - in real life he's 27 stone if he's a day and as a Scot attitude is his middle name. Stu Attitude Wolf. Lol.
31 Jul 2016 15:08:24
This is all very confusing for a wolf of little brain.
31 Jul 2016 15:33:15
maybe as an altitudist you can help our resident lookout with his vertigo.
31 Jul 2016 17:09:13
A link to the story that Pele did want to come to Wolves, he turned up for the Medical and left on Crutches, he was found to have a broken bone in his foot.
goo.gl/XTyizj
Also strong talk that Fosun are still talking to AVB and Marco Silva, Zenga a No. 2?
31 Jul 2016 19:29:58
Altatudalist, boy that's way above my head.
Anyone notice the atmosphere has changed on the blog since we heard about the Butti man.
(See what I did there? Atmosphere changed - Altatudalist) cor I surprise myself at times.
30 Jul 2016 22:24:55
Ahmed Hassan (Egyptian international playing for Braga) next to sign.
30 Jul 2016 23:52:44
6'3'' striker 10 goals in 23 games, 23yrs old. Why not Hassan and Okaka at least their lookin to sort the right areas. Okaka 6'1'' 26yrs old 15 goals in 35.
31 Jul 2016 00:11:15
Paul,
From the Crewe, Northampton and todays match, we need to consider Naill Ennis up front, 17 years old or not he has to be an option. He was excellent today and well deserved the MOTM.
31 Jul 2016 00:57:15
Do we really need 2 CF's when Dicko is on his way back. Out of the 2 would prefer Okaka his agents are ESG but Hassan is from Gestitute so if any approaches have been made could be interesting. Zenga prefers Okaka, while Mendes controls Hassan.
31 Jul 2016 07:16:43
We may not have a choice Stu if no other strikers are brought in. Can def see him in the squad for Rotherham. Mathmo imo u can never have enough quality strikers, their the ones who will get us in Prem, I'm hopin Dicko comes back 100% but to risky to expect him to be firin on all cylinders especially with no loan window after August.
31 Jul 2016 09:08:23
Ahmed Hassan Mahgoub of Braga - £3m? - is sometimes known as Koka so maybe they are one and the same? Stefano Okaka Chuka of Anderlecht has been transfer listed on the basis he is overweight and too slow despite scoring a lot of goals last season. He'd be nearer £5m.
31 Jul 2016 11:22:52
Agree with you Paul, but I think two new strikers is just a bit extravagant at the moment, I'd rather us spend on the starting 11 and strengthen again in January, should we be in a position to mount a promotion challenge.
31 Jul 2016 11:35:41
Mathmo we're BILLIONAIRES we can be extravagant 👍👍👍 let's buy now and if need be in Jan! No more 5 mil budgets and a 10k max wage structure! WE R F--KIN RICH! 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 let's take advantage of our good fortune 👍👍👍.
31 Jul 2016 12:58:11
Well said Paul T! Time to enjoy the start of the good times.
31 Jul 2016 13:07:42
Okaka and hassan
Yes please.
Wont believe it till it happens tho.
31 Jul 2016 14:03:15
Okaka would be a great signing We have been missing a large forward ever since E-banks Blake.
31 Jul 2016 15:34:06
Wasn't that why Kenny played Siggy up front?
30 jul 2016 19:23:50
looks like talisca will not be coming. he wants a premier league move. you may have to right click to translate the page to english. it was exciting while it lasted, oh well
goo.gl/fH27vv
30 Jul 2016 19:44:50
Exciting yes, but not what is needed at the moment. Horses for courses plus a bit of flair.
30 Jul 2016 19:47:34
Load of rubbish, let's jus wait and see what happens with Talisca, we need 2 decent strikers anyway that is the priority, Campbell to start please.
30 Jul 2016 19:54:50
but he won't get a work permit so hey ho was worth a try.
30 Jul 2016 20:03:14
Well let's hope he doesn't come.
£22m = Pritchard, Bamford, Reach and Cambell!
30 Jul 2016 20:10:18
Anderson Talisca Is signing for wolves. Look on the Liverpool page. It said he has agreed personal terms and wolves are to announce it this weekend. Stop being so negative why do you think they have stopped public watching us Train big signings coming in 😜😜😜.
30 Jul 2016 20:12:42
Not according to a "source" on Twitter signing on Monday and still in the UK.
30 Jul 2016 20:12:49
Manurhys
This is a tough league, u need a nucleus of players who can handle it. I agree we need 2 strikers. Two many "continentals" at one time will take 6 mths to gel/ adapt imo. Season over.
30 Jul 2016 20:32:11
I'd rather Pritchard, bamford than Talisca.
30 Jul 2016 20:41:45
For God sake can we not be negative
Anderson will / has signed - I bet they will announce tomorrow
After today's performance Jeff and Walter will see we need 10 players
We will be ok, let's be positive we are loaded.
30 Jul 2016 20:43:34
Joel Cambell is not the answer. One of the worst supposed forwards I have ever seen.
30 Jul 2016 20:47:54
Silvio has announced on his Instagram page he is now a Wolves player after he terminated his contact with Athetico Madrid.
30 Jul 2016 20:55:36
Talisca has rejected our first contract offer but we're still very much in negotiations.
30 Jul 2016 20:57:09
You got a link for the Liverpool page?
30 Jul 2016 21:12:21
Silvio confirms his move to #Wolves 😘😘😘.
30 Jul 2016 21:29:22
Silas!
30 Jul 2016 22:06:52
On Wolves Official, a 1 year deal with option of extension.
31 Jul 2016 01:07:23
My reply was towards 'not signing' Talisca Wombourn. It would be a great statement, but for £22m that is money better spent on 3-4 quality players, what ever happens, I think their is a very exciting times ahead to look forward to, instead of the usual old promises and dissapointment we were all used to.
Out of darkness. (dare I say it) COMETH LIGHT!
31 Jul 2016 08:30:51
Let's hope Silva's appalling injury record improves and he hasn't just come for a season of recuperation. His worst injury came in 2014 when he missed the ball and instead kicked a teammate resulting in a double leg fracture!
31 Jul 2016 13:02:04
Don't worry about Talisca; I believe he will sign on Monday. This after Walter makes him an offer he can't refuse! If that doesn't convince him then a horse's head in his bed should seal the deal.
31 Jul 2016 13:32:00
We know where you live and we know where your children go to school. 😎😎😎
Expect a knock on the door.
30 Jul 2016 15:12:52
4 Portuguese guys staying at big hotel in Tetenhall. 1 on crutches.
30 Jul 2016 15:28:37
the others 3 were on banks's.
30 Jul 2016 15:46:59
The mount?
30 Jul 2016 16:48:07
Reality check folks. Swansea are giving us a hiding and Talisca is NOT coming to Wolves - all a big hoax!
30 Jul 2016 16:59:06
Well if the owners watched that they'll know the size of the task! Men against boys, literally. Nee players needed and fast or we'll get out of the league ok - but in the wrong direction! Talk is cheap. Time for action. Honeymoon over.,
30 Jul 2016 17:37:19
Ok guys n gals, realistic aim's
/ ambitions for the coming season?
IMO if we are in the topn8 come Jan, ill be happy 😊. it's nobody's fault we got hammered today. The deal held up transfers, but all the moaning in useless.
N we wonder why the baggies call us dingles!
This season will be a strange one, but please. pull together 👍.
30 Jul 2016 20:08:23
Nobody's moaning, just stating facts. This team at present is Div 1 standard. Now we have new owners and fine, we've got to let them settle in. However, so far we've had plenty of speculation and no end product. We was hoping for a statement of intent - either from a playeror managerial signing. At present we've got neither. It appears if Mendes isn't their agent we're snookered. Meanwhile the likes of Pritchard etc get signed up. This ain't a doom and gloom post, just realism. We need some proven players NOW. Not dreaming of 3 years time.
30 Jul 2016 08:37:51
Wolves are looking to finalise the signings of duo Joel Campbell and Anderson Talisca #WWFC #Wolves.
30 Jul 2016 09:33:36
Walter Zenger new head coach.
30 Jul 2016 09:55:01
That's a curve ball. Seems to have a very average record.
30 Jul 2016 09:54:24
That's what you call not hanging around! Does anybody know his managerial record? I hope our Jeff knows what he's doing.
30 Jul 2016 10:04:12
What happened all you ITK fans? Nobody predicted Walter Zenger.
30 Jul 2016 10:13:54
Deep throat they were probably all in bed😂 Although he's had a lot of jobs he's won leagues and doubles but doesn't seem to hang around if it's going wrong. He needs to be supported by us all and see where we go. Now bring in Talisca and others and go crazy.
30 Jul 2016 10:14:08
His managerial record is not the best.
30 Jul 2016 10:17:21
Deep Throat
ITK know sweet FA.
30 Jul 2016 10:17:57
Zenga is a Mendes client so it's clear who is running
The show. Not a bad thing but it looks a strange appointment and one fraught with danger as it was with solbaken. It's all down to how much they spend I guess.
30 Jul 2016 10:18:58
I can't believe how much we have all been led down a garden path! Walter who knows nothing about English football where is the logic or even rationale understanding of his appointment! I fear for our future this feels like bhahiti brothers take two!
30 Jul 2016 10:21:31
He has been in a TV soap tho- should be good experience for life at Molineux.
30 Jul 2016 10:21:43
Getting solbakan back should be a better option. This is worse than the terry Connor appointment. At least the people calling for jackets head should be happy!
30 Jul 2016 10:22:37
Fosun bought two business's for over 2 billion yesterday hardly a bhatti. We have been bored as wolves fans for a while that's bit going to be the case again.
30 Jul 2016 10:24:10
At least give him a chance, Italians generally know how t coach and let's face it he won't be here the end of the season.
30 Jul 2016 10:27:49
Got to give him a chance just look at the Sheffield Wednesday manager look at his career look how good Wednesday was last season.
30 Jul 2016 10:31:22
I think we can expect 2 or 3 seasons of mistake after mistake, taking advise from a guy who has no football knowledge other than knowing how to make money for himself though players and managers. This guy is better than Bruce?! What a joke!
30 Jul 2016 10:35:15
Jtwolf, don't bother going then! If u go? Big Jeff and Fosun have given us more excitement in a week than the 2 M's and JACKETT gave us in 3 yrs! Fact.
30 Jul 2016 10:38:26
JTWolf talk about negative you were like this when talking about the takeover now it's the managers! What ou going to say when we sign Talisca and the rest probably not good enough for you. I agree he has had a lot of jobs but he has won leagues in other countries and has won more than Jacket. Judge him after he has gone and I'm sure the money and new players will start to flow in.
30 Jul 2016 10:41:07
Paul Tam you must be happy you are now officially back on here😉
Gee wolf did say he saw lots of activity yesterday he obviously saw the mafia pulling up with Zenga😂.
30 Jul 2016 10:41:35
It's brilliant because is its a mistake then we will go bigger whilst for years we have just been so small minded. It's important for zenga to keep rob Edwards on board. I have a feeling we will have a whole new team by the start of the season.
30 Jul 2016 10:55:25
What have we had to be excited about? Linked with 3 players who have been bit players and loaned out to different clubs. 1 which has signed on loan. And now a manager with a terrible track record who only reason for coming is because of his agent? I said it before having billions want guarantee it would be spent wisely. Mark my words this guy will be gone before Christmas! Save this post! Who wants to bet me!
30 Jul 2016 11:00:26
Have you got your season ticket yet Paul?
30 Jul 2016 11:02:56
Patience.
30 Jul 2016 11:09:51
Didn't think so.
30 Jul 2016 11:12:24
Ranieri was a laughing stock and had a pood track record . Let's give him a chance.
30 Jul 2016 11:14:43
Paul T.
Fully agree mate, patience is needed. Most fans would have given their eye teeth a month ago for a takeover and clear out. Now they're moaning! Congratulations on your precise prediction at end of last season that Kenny would not be in charge for another league game.
30 Jul 2016 11:22:15
JTwolf your talking like it's your money. I would rather be in the position with money than say Bolton or Portsmouth then you would be cryin out for some wasteful billionaire.
30 Jul 2016 11:24:01
Trouble is there are a number of Wolves fans who are only happy when they are whinging. Zenga will be wrong choice because he wears his watch on the wrong wrist!
Jeff Shi is another Bhatti. is he really? did they spend the money he is spending? NO
They are unbelievable really are
30 Jul 2016 11:35:04
I remember 20 years ago when Arsenal appointed an unknown foreign manager named Arsene Wenger. The fans were sceptical. Look how that turned out. Give Zenga a chance. You never know what might happen. Also remember that Pottechino was untried and look at him now.
30 Jul 2016 11:38:03
If the guy does fail jtwolf Big Jeff will get rid and bring someone else in! We're in the big time now, we've never been in this position before. Enjoy it instead of bein so negative!
30 Jul 2016 11:39:41
Thanks Deep Throat 👍 But don't ask me about this guy yet, 😂😂😂.
30 Jul 2016 11:42:03
And yes Jtwolf I have got my season ticket and also my ticket for Rotherham 👍👍👍 have u?
30 Jul 2016 11:44:17
Luis Muriel now being linked - wow, this is crazy stuff. Loving it though. God knows how it will all end up - roller coaster time!
30 Jul 2016 11:44:37
Dissapointed for today, as I expected more ambition to be shown by Fosun with a managerial appointment.
But I'll be there in NU4 come the 13th supporting Zenga and the boys.
Regardless of today we're still in a better position than we were 5 or 6 weeks ago.

30 Jul 2016 11:59:44
What's your seat number Paul on your season ticket?
30 Jul 2016 12:06:48
Think Jeff may have got the cv s mixed up .
30 Jul 2016 12:26:28
Be careful if you make it up Paul, you might pick a seat that's someone's on here!
30 Jul 2016 12:34:58
Let's get behind the new owners and manager and stop moaning, what did Jackette achieve okay he was the right person in charge in Division 1 when we won it and over achieved the year after but last year sorted him out as getting we were we wanted to be and also let's not forget we are not a premier side so although we have wealthy owners it does not give you a device right to be in premier you have to earn it so enjoy the ride Wolves fans and have your say at the end of season.
30 Jul 2016 12:38:28
Jackett has gone. get over it.
A decent man, but a Third Tier manager at best.
Let' get behind the new guy and judge him in 10 games.
Onwards and upwards.
30 Jul 2016 12:38:53
I am not impressed by this appointment. It's either down to mates doing each other a favour or down to money. Being as there shouldn't be a money issue it has to be former. Why not an inspired move? Because it just doesn't wash that there's something about Zenga that the board know about that the rest of the world doesn't, like he's deliberately been getting the sack from all his jobs after a few months and has now decided to reveal his hidden talent. This is not good and not what Wolves fans had believed what would happen and been hoping for. I know I should give him time and I will because I have no choice, but I fear we will end up a laughing stock. The only thing that will put any doubt in my mind now is all the big players we want to sign, sign and soon. If they don't.
30 Jul 2016 12:45:32
The new owners will rely on Jorge Mendes and zenga is one oh his men. Th cheque will stay open so it will developing on a weekly basis. We will have at least 8 signings and at least spend 30million. Let's get behind the new owners and enjoy the ride. We forget all the goalless draws!
30 Jul 2016 12:48:36
I'm a STH, Home and Away, I go to U21games at Telford and follow our U19's in their cup runs.
Don't anyone come on this site and try and tell me we are now worse off than 2 weeks ago, if KJ had stayed we would have gone nowhere, he's a nice bloke, Iv'e sat with him at U21's many a time and he's polite, pleasant and respectful.
But, he will never be a good manager as long as Iv'e got a hole up my Chuff. The season in Div 1 went exactly as it should have with the players we had, that was not a World class team. The next two seasons we struggled every game and could not break down defences and mount decent attacks. This was the worst football Iv'e witnessed in 55 years of going to football. How many of you mosners stood at Bristol City in the rain and cold and watched them outclass us, even though they had previously not won a game in 12 matches.
If you want Nice comfy family football, then you need look no further than down the road at Tescoland, Pulis personifies Jackett to a tee.
If you want the Premiership, jump aboard the magic bus and stop moaning.
You are in the minority, ticket sales are soaring and they told me last week in the ticket office ST sales have doubled, that tells me something good is happening down at the Golden Palace.
Jeff Shi is a business man over a huge empire, they won't fail and if Mendes is in it for the money and self gratification, he won't be in it long.
COYW's.
30 Jul 2016 13:07:08
Well said Stu I'm sick of all these bloody moaners they all have short memories like when we went all the way down in the 80& 90s with three quarters of the ground closed, no investment no team and we didn't even own the ground. Get behind the lads or do one for all of our sakes.
30 Jul 2016 13:12:41
Does any of what you said stuwolf, make Zenger the right manager for wolves? The thing that worries me is not that he might fail, we can waste 6 months and replace him. Its the fact a manager with such an abysmal record is even considered by the same owners who have told us they want to do things smart!
30 Jul 2016 13:39:54
This appointment does not make sense, but let's give the guy a chance and get behind him. I wonder if he is the replacement for Gallen and we are still waiting on the right man to guide us to the promised land.
At least it seems to have taken our minds off the rumours of Talisca an co signing before todays game.
30 Jul 2016 14:39:59
Jtwolf I'm in north bank upper, il soon spot u as you'll be the one with the cloud over his head! 😂 If u go?
30 Jul 2016 14:58:20
Stu Wolf, Paul Tamworth and like-minded fans,
The Magical Mystery Tour is coming to take you away!
I'm as excited as you. Patience is needed. I can feel Fleetwood Mac coming on:
Don't stop think about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
30 Jul 2016 16:03:14
Link to Wolves signing Campbell and Talisca?
30 Jul 2016 16:05:01
With this guy in charge were on the highway to hell, just hope we don't miss out on a good manager between now and his sacking.
30 Jul 2016 16:49:53
Campbell and Talisca won't touch us with a barge poll, we are up shiz creek without a paddle, Zenga has got to be a panic appointment, his record is abysmal.
Obviously once Julen blew us out they had no one else in mind, thread bare squad and a coach who jumps ship or gets fired like the changing tides.
This really doesn't bode well for the rat if the season.
30 Jul 2016 16:57:49
The appointment of Walter Zenga is out of left field but it sort of indicates how we can expect the club to be run initially. Fosun have bought Wolves for one reason only: Premier League TV money. They want their share. Wolves were cheap, so it is a low cost way to get their bit. The fact that Wolves has a history and a fan base is just additional icing on the cake. Their buying a 10% share of Mendes’ company GestiFute is just a part of the plan. It gives them access to, and some minor control of, one of the biggest agents in football and also ties Mendes in a bit. He has to be careful about who he sends to the club and cannot just flog any old rubbish to Wolves, like he has done to other clubs. In business the one big thing I learned from my time in Hong Kong is you DON’T piss off Chinese business men, especially when you want access to the riches of Chinese football down the line.
So Zenga no doubt being a Mendes client gets a gig since no one expected Lopetegui to get the Spanish job, so we are on Plan B or Plan C right now. Most of the players coming to us are Mendes’ clients no doubt and that is reasonably fine as it stands right now. Mendes is fully aware of Fosun’s plan and what their expectations are and how much budget they have. He will service that need with the players available on his books.
Zenga will have a job as long as he does the job. He will be replaced by someone else just as soon as he does NOT do the job OR someone better in Mendes’ stable comes along. Same with the players. Yes more Championship experience would be nice but trying to find quality players, especially English players, at a decent price is getting harder all the time.
This season will be a roller coaster as a result but Fosun need to get to the Premier League quickly so they will spend money to do that.
Once in the Premier League, they will spend money for one or two seasons to stabilise the club in the mid-table area. Then they will sell the club as it will represent a good profit to them, as the PL TV money will effectively pay for the player investment over the 4-5 years they will own the club.
30 Jul 2016 17:17:50
And Jacket was any better? This was a rude awakening to everyone concerned and has shown the gulf between us and Swansea. I will be surprised if Talisca will come but money does talk and we need to spend shed loads.
All I can say is thank god Fosun have come in or we would be in trouble.
30 Jul 2016 17:50:58
Talisca not coming! So all we have is one average player on loan
goo.gl/mim9za
30 Jul 2016 19:31:05
At least we have a song to sing.
The zenga bus is coming.
31 Jul 2016 01:17:51
Tubigon - I thank you!
I have read a whole heap of tosh on here for the past few weeks from people who purport to know stuff, and from people who 'support' our dear club but feel we can simply throw cash around and it will happen.
It doesn't happen for 14 teams in the PL each year and it doesn't happen for more and more teams in the Championship.
At last, I read a balanced and knowledgeable posting so well done you.
For everyone else who feels their 'takeover party' has just been shut down - bloody relax will you. Let's see how this new bloke and his new squad go.
It will not be immediate, and it will not be convincing for a while. But as Tubigon has already said, these guys mean business and they will make the calls if the right direction is not being followed.
I for one am as excited as I have ever been about our future. We certainly haven't been here before!
