Wolves rumours 2

10 Jun 2020 16:58:57
Wolves in negotiations for Wu Lei. Chinese international from Espanyol. Contract expires this summer. Might get him on a free. This one just might have legs. I imagine Fosun would want an established chinese star in there vision.

Maybe not. Age 28 scored against Barcelona this season. Not seen much of him.

10 Jun 2020 18:08:10
If this is true and I wouldn't be surprised would be a good signing . He was by far and away Espanyol best player at Molineux. Should have scored twice to be honest.

11 Jun 2020 10:32:41
Yes remember seeing him at molineux he had two great chances very unlucky not to have scored could be a descent sighnings. 🐺🧡🖤.

11 Jun 2020 17:11:30
I can't help but feel there is some truth in this one, (1) The Asian market appeal (2) He'd be relatively cheap (Espanyol paid $2m for him) (3) A talented player.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect a Woek Permit may be difficult to obtain.}

11 Jun 2020 18:14:02
Ed002 - Why would a work permit be an issue? considering he's a full Chinese international player (I know this one of the main criteria)

{Ed002's Note - I think you perhaps don't understand teh WP rules.}

12 Jun 2020 07:36:08
Read a little more into it. His contract doesn't expire until December of this year according to sources and transfermarkt. Which is a weird one in itself. Would we have to pay some sort of nominal fee. I doubt it would be very much. Espanyol look sure fire going down.

12 Jun 2020 14:50:18
Ed002 - Can you fill me in what I'm missing out on, cheers.

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to go through them in detail, but the player needs a minimum of four points and summary goes something like this:
- The value of the transfer fee (alone) that is to be paid is between the top 75% and 100% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 3 points
- The value of the transfer fee being paid for the player is between 50% and 75% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 2 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is in the top 25% of the top 30 earners at the club - 3 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is between 50% and 75% of all the top 30 earners at the club - 2 points
- Subjectively, the player’s current club is in a recognised "top" league and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point
- The player’s existing club has played in the group stages or onwards of the Champions League, Europa League or the Copa Libertadores within the last 12 months and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point.}

13 Jun 2020 01:24:44
Cheers Ed002!

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

So talk of Liverpool calling traore so is that not tapping up a player? Obviously unless wolves have given permission and I really can't see us doing that but if it isn't true then why aren't these papers brought to justice! first some shocking tabloid paper ( the sun) imo the worst paper in the world claiming wolves ready to sell jimenez for 18 million quid think they missed another 1 in front of it! I believe like many we will see 1 of the least spending transfer window in the history of football I personally think loans or player swaps.

10 Jun 2020 07:17:56
I agree loans are the way forward. Tbh with you I'm not sure why football clubs don't make more use of swap player for player systems like other sports do. Not that I'd be trading Adama or Raul.

As for the papers like the Sun. It's more reliable to believe the complete 180 to anything they say. Dogpile of all journalism comes from those sorts.

06 Jun 2020 23:53:00
Its embarrassing that were brainwashed by the over the top Americans. me personally I can't stand them. let's face it if they go to war then were in one too whilst boris give trump a massage. not interested in what's happening over there. just like I'm not interested in the weirdos that qued 1 mile to eat cardboard on a bap from maccies. perfetic. let's get this sorted wolves to finish 4th fact come on me babbies. wolves 4 west ham 1 neves so score the 1st with a 35 yard screamer. pedro neto my favourite to score 3 and run in to the away end only to realise there's no fans 😂😂😂.

07 Jun 2020 10:41:30
I’d rather the yanks had our backs than french Germans and rest of Europe!

07 Jun 2020 14:57:09
Coven ; it really doesn’t take much to brainwash people who shop at Ikea, eat at Macdonalds and attend illegal demonstrations in the middle of a virus.

08 Jun 2020 02:25:53
Respectfully, this isn’t a political forum. I get enough of this nonsense of FB.

08 Jun 2020 12:41:48
Ok, back to football, Sunday papers seem to be selling our star players off to the “big boys”, looks like we’re not welcome anywhere near the top six.

08 Jun 2020 13:57:37
If Liverpool pulled out of signing Timo Werner because they couldn't afford to pay £53m, they won't be able to afford the £70m for Traore.

08 Jun 2020 17:13:18
With this virus can't see team shelling out big bucks for anyone. Like many have said. Might see a crazy loan market.

It's a high quality CB and back up for Raul is priority for me. Surely players out there for us. That Rugani looks a good player.

I'd take a good CDM if it was going also. although clearly not as important.

21 Jun 2020 14:34:10
Agree a top CB of Bolys quality is what we need we have a few strikers now how about a left winger who can cross them in like Traore and Doc?

06 Jun 2020 16:34:13
Wolves in for Idrissa Gueye from PSG. Quite a few online sources running this one.

Doubt there is much of anything in this one.

05 Jun 2020 06:52:01
What's all this rumour of wolves knocking down jimenez prices tag to 18 million. is it just paper talk/ click bait? Anyone know?
FWAW.

05 Jun 2020 10:15:29
Assuming that Jimenez isn't crocked in some way that we don't know about, he will not be sold for £18 mil. He must easily be worth what we paid for him, even in this depressed the virus market. But, given his age, 29, he's not going to fetch the mega money that Jota or Traore would fetch.

05 Jun 2020 11:43:57
Load of tripe. 18 mil. Not for sale. Call me crazy. wouldn't sell the guy for 100mil

Offers too much and fits better than any striker in world football to how we play in my mind.

05 Jun 2020 12:38:21
Phil mate it was The Sun that'll explain everything that paper is full of bull manure.

05 Jun 2020 12:59:27
Late April 1st story from TuttoJuve guys; what a scoop! 🙄.

05 Jun 2020 13:01:14
I believe that whoever wrote this report is leaving a very important element out, namely, the club mentioned is Juventus and the price being £18m. What the reporter has failed to report is that Juventus will pay this as well as giving us a player - Daniele Rugani valued at £11m or Adrian Rabiot value at £22m.

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

05 Jun 2020 13:48:15
I don't expect Jimenez to be sold for less than we signed him but it's clear that the media can write any old tripe without checking facts.

04 Jun 2020 10:11:20
both rui pedro Silva and rui Barbosa for the past 3 years have lived in the same place they have just asked if they can just have a 3 month extension on there lease rather than the full year!

Also danny loader has been looking at apartments in wolverhampton with his girlfriend.

04 Jun 2020 12:03:50
I have no idea who your source is or if there is anything in that at all.

But to be completely honest I wouldn't say I'm exactly comfortable that Nuno is running into the last year of his deal without any extension. Nor sign of one yet. I hope this is sorted sooner rather than later

We need him more than he needs us with how he has performed. Just my opinion.

04 Jun 2020 12:30:34
I thought Nuno said he wouldn't discuss a new contract until the season had finished.

04 Jun 2020 13:29:13
Deep down I myself nor many others expect Nuno to leave. but regardless of how the season finishes I'm an little surprised a deal has not been struck.

Last interview with Nuno actually speaking on the matter he said nothing was on the table from Fosun.

You may all feel totally comfortable with that. But world class managers are not easy to come by. Every top league in the world would be sniffing around at a chance.

04 Jun 2020 14:58:48
There used to be an account on here from years ago called "Estate Agent Source" this person claimed to be an estate agent who would show potential signings around homes in Wolverhampton and Sutton Coldfield.

18 May 2020 17:33:07
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sporting have an agreement in principle for the transfer of João Palhinha, according to claims on Monday.

Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã writes today that an 'eventual deal' between the clubs could be done for around €15m.

28 May 2020 12:46:45
Looks like Traore is off to Liverpool.

28 May 2020 16:47:02
What makes you say that SQ? Was it when Liverpool said due to the virus 19 no team would be spending mega money on transfers or when Wolves said none of our players are for sale?

28 May 2020 16:50:08
I treat all of these as rumours until official announcements are made. Even the stuff I post, in reality all they are talking points.

28 May 2020 17:11:38
I said looks like. Hopefully not.
Premier league restarting 17th June.

28 May 2020 20:09:25
Good news on the PL returning SQ. Jas I have to agree with your comment, I can't see any big deals this summer with clubs making a huge loss due to the virus. Southampton may have to sell eight players to stay afloat (so I've read in the Beebs gossip column, could be utter tosh) .

{Ed002's Note - I don't know about the number of players but Southampton are in trouble financially.}

28 May 2020 20:32:26
I didn't realise Southampton were in trouble. What's brought that about
It can't all be down to the virus. Unfortunately they won't be the only ones. Just hope the Wolves are ok in that respect.

{Ed002's Note - Many clubs live on the edge and many clubs don’t have owners who will bolster missing income.}

29 May 2020 00:26:37
Southampton have been in financial trouble for many years the failed take over 3/ 4 years ago meant they have had to live within there means which has now been pushed to far. I would take a cut price deal for ings as back up to Raul.

29 May 2020 15:10:15
I'd give a shout for either Ward-Prouse and/ or Romeu if there was to be a "fire sale".

29 May 2020 17:10:07
The financially better-off teams will be like predators in the brief summer transfer window, picking up players cheaply. I can't see Wolves selling anyone cheaply. If Liverpool want Traore they will have to pay top, top money and I don't believe they will. The owner of Wolves has prospered this year, with his net worth jumping due to shrewd investments in healthcare. In fact we will probably pick up a few young, promising players for a lot less than we would have before.

29 May 2020 17:42:41
Not trying to be a naysayer Deep Throat, didn't Jeff Shi say Wolves are now self-sufficient? Plus Fosun lost a lot of money whenThomas Cook went under.

29 May 2020 22:06:17
Even with the collapse of Thomas Cook (who Fosun tried to save), Fosun announced a £1.69b profit.

29 May 2020 23:58:32
Nice investigative work Jas.

30 May 2020 00:18:57
“ Liverpool Wont Pay €50M Buy-Out Clause and Pull Out Of Race To Sign Inter Target Timo Werner” can’t seem them splashing out on Traore who’d cost double that.

30 May 2020 00:39:46
We won't be selling any of our players.

31 May 2020 17:09:02
Jimenez is going to be in huge demand.
His head will be turned and he must go with his head or his heart.
If we keep our squad intact I for one would be very happy.
Still so young and hungry would have to spend a fortune to get any player to improve our starting eleven.
Nuno has built a very special unit (pack)
If we sell we must buy and buy big.
But in Nuno we must trust 3 years of high quality decisions and management.
Will be fine wo we
Oh and Adama come on he will only improve under Nuno before he will become a Galactico when it’s right for us to sell and him to move on.

01 Jun 2020 10:36:53
If that's true about Raul having his head turned Realist it may explain the Vinicius for £54m from Benfica floating around the place. I personally believe that Raul has lost his heart to Wolverhampton as proved by recent photos.

01 Jun 2020 14:02:21
Fosun are an investment company of course, but they have brushed off the Thomas Cook losses and actually emerged even stronger. Losses can also be written off against future tax.

The Fosun investment in Wolves is far more than an ordinary investment, it is more like the jewel in the crown. It gives Fosun immense exposure, prestige and credibility, unlike any ordinary investment. We are now the seventh most valuable club in the Premier League and worth far more than Fosun's actual total investment in us to date. This shows what Steve Morgan could have achieved when he was handed the club for a tenner.

30 Apr 2020 19:52:00
Linked to be closely following Emmanuel Dennis Striker 22 from Club Brugge. 8 goals in 25 for the belgium league isn't exactly setting the world on fire. He has been linked with many prem teams as well.

06 May 2020 18:50:01
Might be better signing les Dennis lol.

18 May 2020 19:51:42
Les Dennis? I'd rather sign his ex, Amanda Holden. She'd look great in the Old Gold and Black strip! On the other hand, were you thinking of Les Dawson?

30 Apr 2020 16:57:54
Philip Coutinho to Wolves: Click Bait source - a comment by Stan Collymore. Bless them, they're desperate for a nibble.

06 May 2020 18:50:41
Too expensive I think debbie.

28 Apr 2020 13:46:09
"Wolverhampton Wanderers can sign Real Madrid target Facundo Pellistri for just £8 million this summer" according to BeIN Sports.

28 Apr 2020 15:18:33
Never heard of him until yesterday. Again, this is just click bait and by adding the fact that Real Madrid are interested (they probably aren't) and that ex Uruguay captain Diego Forlan likes him, people seem more interested.

28 Apr 2020 19:26:55
Restarting football could lead to consiquences of life and death.

28 Apr 2020 21:36:41
Wolf- who's that for then fella, who's not aware of the current crisis?! I really don't understand why at this stage people still feel the need to pop onto websites and go 'guess what guys this is serious' it's hardly news is it?! 🙄.
