Wolves rumours 2

31 Jan 2020 10:56:20
Ryan Bennett to Leicester! Wtf.

31 Jan 2020 11:12:35
Yeah saw that bit strange, we need someone in now.

31 Jan 2020 11:15:16
Yeah not to impressed with this tbh especially if no more players are coming like Speirs said.
I'm sure we'll be ok though.

31 Jan 2020 11:15:55
Surely nuno must have a replacement coming in.

31 Jan 2020 11:45:36
Absolute joke. Donk a liability right centre back. makes too many mistakes. only him and boly can play ther an I prefer boly as left centre back. big mistake by wolves. obviously nuno fell out with bennett.

31 Jan 2020 11:59:30
Basher going to leicester?
Must be getting topsaba?

31 Jan 2020 12:03:08
Non football related reasons again, obviously.

31 Jan 2020 12:05:26
Only makes sense if someone's coming in.

31 Jan 2020 12:41:51
We won't be signing anyone else and other then podence which is a great signing this transfer window will go down as the worst one under fosun.

31 Jan 2020 13:23:03
With the Big signing of Podence it does feel eased in terms of frustration. Something could yet happen though.

Like we have seen unlikely. Maybe it's time for some of the u23s to start taking more of a forward role. And have a chance. First team quality is what we ideally need. But those lads are all good young bodies that will come in and want to work their socks off. Sod it if knowone else comes. Unpopular opinion I'm sure.

31 Jan 2020 14:06:26
Hasn't Nuno said that Bennett has asked to leave as he isn't getting the game time anymore and Kilman, Donk, Saiss, Boly and Coady are all ahead of him in the pecking order.

31 Jan 2020 14:09:00
Bennett moves on to make room for Evan N'Dicka.

31 Jan 2020 14:21:55
Bennett asked for a move to get game time, some of you need to calm down.

31 Jan 2020 14:55:26
I hope all these yougsters come good soon I do not have many years left.

31 Jan 2020 14:58:38
I'd heard there was a bit of a falling out between him and Big Willy before Xmas.
Looks like it might be true.

31 Jan 2020 17:29:29
After a poor summer window having both our big signings having already left and now only one first team player coming in when Nuno clearly wanted a few additions you've got to start thinking our head of recruitment needs looking at, without our mendes link getting Podence through the door we could have seen no one come in. Luckily we have a great team and manager but just hope nuno doesn't get fed up and leave in the summer after being let down in the last two windows.

31 Jan 2020 17:33:56
Giles could be going back to shrewsbury meaning the only wing backs we have are doherty and jonny while vinagre is injured.

31 Jan 2020 17:40:45
Read his interview again.
He is only looking to strengthen, to add quality, not just quantity.
Personally I think it has been a good window for business.
Some will spout on about a striker but how many teams are looking for one at this very moment? Probably all of the Premier League.
Be satisfied and back the club.
We're out of the EU in a few hours so something else to look forward too!

31 Jan 2020 19:16:41
I do get wound up with this old 'Nunos been let down' line because it pretends to know how someone feels when we have not a clue! He wanted signings well we got 4 of um and all exciting prospects. I think the thing that annoys me with the line is that it assumes Nuno isn't calling the shots when I seriously suspect that he is! It's him that has a preferences for small squads (always has) because he likes to keep players happy and he knows that's not possible with big teams. I admit to being surprised by Bennett but by the sound of it the player pushed for the move so that pretty much explains it. I wonder if Nuno thinks between Jordao amd Lodice we will have cover in the middle of the park thus allowing Saiss and Donks to continue as defensive cover?

31 Jan 2020 19:17:16
I also think Kilman will be FAR better than Bennett in a seasons time! COYW 👍.

31 Jan 2020 21:42:53
He's only 17 but Luke Matheson, wolves steve.

31 Jan 2020 23:03:13
I wouldn’t worry about CB. We’ve got Boly, Kilman, Coady, Saiss and Dendonker. Good window in my opinion, class player in Podence, and some great youth players.

01 Feb 2020 12:22:51
Benno is a better defender than Donk but I think Donk plays Nuno's type of football, working the ball forward and good for moving up to the box for set pieces.

In an old school 442, Benno would be a regular right CB without a doubt.

I hope he gets game time at Leicester. They seem to be doing pretty well with the squad they've got so he's probably there for cover rather than seriously competing for a place. But that's what we thought at Wolves when he joined us as a freebie with Ruddy.

01 Feb 2020 15:26:00
They've only bought him cause they want there player who wasn't playing to go out and get game time (Benkovic) so I think they'll only see him as back up. But your quite right he would be better in a 442 cause it's the passing he struggles with in our system 👍.

30 Jan 2020 16:54:16
A few days ago it was reported that the Podence deal was at a stand off Olympiakos were holding out for more money and were renowned for driving a hard bargain. We just signed a £30million for £17million from them.

30 Jan 2020 19:38:22
Indeed and mostly because we are lucky enough to have people working at our club with FAR more financial noose than some of the posters on here saying foolish lines such as 'just pay what they are asking and get the deal done' or 'typical Wolves always trying to pinch pennies'! You have to laugh sometimes you really do! COYW ;)

31 Jan 2020 08:51:43
Anyone heard about Bright going to Birmingham? One of the bluenose at work mentioned it.
FWAW.

31 Jan 2020 10:22:52
enobakre is now a blue nose, no fee declared yet,

31 Jan 2020 10:24:36
yup he's a blue nose now, godd luck to him still love to know why he barely got a kick at wigan.

31 Jan 2020 10:44:08
I'm sure i'd read he had attitude problems at Wigan.

31 Jan 2020 10:45:02
Hopefully we put a buy back fee or something on that.

31 Jan 2020 11:17:53
Thnks guys
I'm singing wanderers reject
Wanderers reject
To the brummies
Lol
Bennett umm makes me think we could have a surprise centre back signing today.
FWAW.

01 Feb 2020 12:24:57
Apparently not.

30 Jan 2020 12:20:42
Welcome Daniel Podence. Hallelujah at last, I was getting sick of reading the on and off reports for the last few weeks.
Sounds like an excellent prospect, another speed machine on the opposite wing.
Looking forward to seeing him play soon.

30 Jan 2020 15:15:52
Excellent news, just hope we can get a defender over the line, Xmas come early then .

30 Jan 2020 15:20:59
Must make SQ (Silly Quotes?) feel a bit worse than silly given the drivel that has been spouting forth about it not happening.

30 Jan 2020 15:51:05
And don't forget the others who said it wasn't going to happen - 1 even said in capital letters that we were signing nobody.

30 Jan 2020 16:19:09
And the ones who mentioned about the fictitious 30m transfer fund.

30 Jan 2020 18:00:56
Fair play Nune ES. We didn't need VAR to spot your clear and obvious error, written in large capital letters to make your point! At least you admit it. Good lad. What interests me though is why you were so sure? Was it fake fans like SQ influencing you? The media were all over the place but journos like Tim Nash are more reliable guides.

30 Jan 2020 19:51:59
That's the number one ot the letter I Deep Throat, I was referring to a poster called the wolf or something like that who claimed it was not happening.

30 Jan 2020 00:59:09
Apparently Wolves have had an offer turned down for Ivan Toney.

30 Jan 2020 07:52:15
What, is this 2015 and Kenny Jackett still in charge? 5 years, yes 5 years ago we were linked with him.

30 Jan 2020 08:10:20
Good grief, that's a name from the past. Be surprised if he still wanted to come here after we messed him around in the past. Could probably still turn him into a better player.

30 Jan 2020 09:43:12
Leave it out, would rather buy Ivan drego.

30 Jan 2020 13:20:13
SQ, SQ, Where art thou SQ?

30 Jan 2020 14:32:23
NigelT SQ signed off on an earlier post implying he’s not coming back.

30 Jan 2020 15:19:59
Didn't SQ sign off on the same day that Baggies lost. Coincidence?

30 Jan 2020 16:18:22
Excellent detective work Jas!

30 Jan 2020 17:47:43
Good news.

30 Jan 2020 19:43:38
He signed off just before the transfers were about to be announced, weird that! Much easier to be right when you run off cause it looks like you may be proved to be wrong eh! In his final post he said he STILL thought we'd be fighting relegation, which is hilarious especially when you consider our last performance against Pool was just before he said it! ;)

29 Jan 2020 22:40:55
I'm happy to say I was wrong. Podence deal done and dusted. Signing autographs at Compton Park this afternoon. And Jordao MOTM v Liverpool u23's tonight. And scored a corker. Like a new signing. Happy dayd!

30 Jan 2020 02:01:36
Fair dues Tetenall Toad 👍🏿.

30 Jan 2020 05:30:30
Top bloke TettenhallToad.
I didn't realise you got it wrong but holding your hands up is proper fine of ya. Be good if SQ and others who I do know got things wrong did the same. Yes my fellow wolf happy days
FWAW.

30 Jan 2020 09:34:01
Is he eligible for the Europa league as he played in the champions league this season?

30 Jan 2020 09:57:03
I think he is as the rules were changed.

30 Jan 2020 10:49:17
Well done Tettenhall. Would be nice if some of the usual suspects admitted being wrong as well.

30 Jan 2020 13:43:27
Respect to you Tettenhall mate.

30 Jan 2020 19:11:13
Herd that Podence is on his way to stoke for £19m 🤣.

29 Jan 2020 11:16:56
From Speirs.

Daniel Podence is on his way to Wolverhampton to sign a four-and-a-half year contract. Done and done (medical pending) .

Wolves still hoping to bring a striker in before Friday's deadline, plus probably another addition to the U23s.

29 Jan 2020 12:39:47
he knows where the net is and a fit DS would be great. but sadly he also knows where the treatment room is moore.

29 Jan 2020 12:41:38
Mystery Striker.

Paco Alcacer
Borussia Dortmund won't be able to complete the signing of Emre Can until Paco Alcacer has been sold. Erling Haaland is expected to become a regular starter for the side. Alcacer fee is £19.5m.

29 Jan 2020 13:20:28
Anyone know anything about centre half called edmond topsaba?

29 Jan 2020 13:24:44
Said it once before. Alcacer is perfect for us. Doubt it would come off. Dreamland if it does.

29 Jan 2020 13:52:20
He's 20years old and 6ft 3 Winsford, other than that nope, nothing, nada.

29 Jan 2020 15:40:05
Alcacer would want guaranteed first team football which we can't offer. He will want to get into the Spain side for the Euros which won't happen from the bench.

29 Jan 2020 15:47:18
Fair comment.

29 Jan 2020 18:36:01
Daniel Podence profile in Wikipedia has just been updated:

After some very tough negotiations and close calls, Podence joined Wolves, the most Portuguese squad outside of the national team of Portugal. This signing was confirmed after the player was seen shopping for groceries in ASDA, moments after the pen was put to the paper. Podence will join local legends and fellow Portuguese players, such as João Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Rui Patrício and Diogo Jota.

29 Jan 2020 19:26:51
Hahaha. asda'love it.

29 Jan 2020 19:51:55
Haha, funny you say that North cause I'd heard that Radio has played agaisnt Podence in the Asda car park when they were both 7! 🤣.

28 Jan 2020 22:06:30
Daniel sturridge is a target for wolves some fans might not like this but he knows where net is and me personally new him when he played at cadburys and played against him and he's down to earth and considering how's his career has gone lately can see him coming to prove a point and will wait for his chance and hearing we could get him for 4 million definitely take him instead of that Nelson personally think Nelson Olivier's is absolutely rubbish sturridge champions League experience n goal record also good pick him over Nelson hands down!

28 Jan 2020 22:29:19
Are you kidding mucker?
Sturridge has a good record 5 years ago but his record over the past 5 years consists of a medical record and that is all.
I wouldn't reduce the club to this I'd rather see a youngster given a chance.

28 Jan 2020 22:45:26
Spot on Madman. Sturridge. No way. Would be a desperate move by wolves.

28 Jan 2020 23:35:18
He does know where the net is but sadly he's also made of glass! Look at our previous business with Fosun and it falls into two categories either older and free or younger but will retain a re-sale value which does he follow? I also don't rate Oliveira but by all accounts they don't want to stump up the fee required (probs cause they know his true value) so I can't see them paying £4m for a 30 year old striker that hasn't managed more than 20 starts in a single season for over 5 years?! You speak of his goal record but in his last three Prem seasons he's scored two goals a season (none in his last in fact), hardly prolific is it! As I've said before its a rumours page so creating rumours is part and parcel they just work better if they are believable! COYW ;)

28 Jan 2020 23:52:16
Radio- quite a star studded life you lead, ya pop to Asda and ya see Memphis Depay you go to Under 7s football and you play with Sturridge what are the chances! More to the point what ARE the chances of you even knowing or remembering his name if you were both 7 and he was just another player?! Do you remember the name of all the players you came up against at 7 then? Sturridge is a pretty common name but you randomly remembered it for all these years despite him just being another oppo player at the time?! Haha, keep um coming Radio but as I said at least do us the courtesy of making um believable eh COYW ;)

29 Jan 2020 07:53:44
Under any other manager, I would laugh at the sturridge rumour. But with nuno and his backroom staff they have done brilliant keeping our players fit. Not many players end up injured. Boly we don't know the full story. Vinagre hamstring and its surprising that traore has not picked up a similar injury. A rejuvenated sturrige in this team will score goals.

29 Jan 2020 08:16:34
Well I’ve just walked past greggs in Wolverhampton city centre and saw ronaldo, Messi and Ramos all buying vegan sausage rolls! Must be them although I only saw the back of their heads 😂😂😂👍.

29 Jan 2020 09:39:59
Meanwhile, from Sky Sports this morning:

Wolves have agreed a £16.9m fee with Olympiakos for winger Daniel Podence. Podence will fly to the UK on Wednesday to undergo a medical, with personal terms already agreed.

Where are all the 'Podence-deal-dead' fake fans now?

29 Jan 2020 11:59:02
Sturridge! 'im 50 with a knackered back and dodgy knee and I'll wager I'm still more mobile than he's been for the last few seasons'if he's the answer'were beyond hope. UTW.

29 Jan 2020 12:45:39
I’m sat up a tree outside Trabzonspor‘a training ground and Iv seen Sturridge training - there’s no substance to this rumour!

29 Jan 2020 12:47:00
The thing I don't get with this rumours is that both Wolves and Villa could have had at the start of the season for free both clubs choose not to! So what 4 goals in 9 games at a VERY average level is suddenly going to make both teams offer £4m for him?! If he wasn't worth the contract three months ago why would we now pay £1m per goal when NOTHING has changed in his ability or fitness status exactly?!

28 Jan 2020 21:26:43
News coming out of Greece is Podence fee agreed 20 million euros apparently due in wolves tomorrow for medical
Hope this is true.

28 Jan 2020 21:48:36
Nash has confirmed it mate.

28 Jan 2020 21:56:43
My understanding (from what I’ve been told) is that the club had set a loose figure of spending but it has a limit.
The £16.9 mill cost for Podence gives us flexibility on the forward, no name given, so I don’t know.
ATW.

28 Jan 2020 22:53:04
You can't fault the bargains they get. Actually the value they get out of all the transfer deals.

Cutrone didn't pan out fair enough but the fee for that was a very good deal.

Certainly don't get mugged off by anyone.

28 Jan 2020 23:23:10
Given that the Baggies want to spend £4m on him have been told by his club he’s not for sale, given Wolves we’re only prepared so buy Oliveria for £3.65m, I’m saying no, it makes no sense.

28 Jan 2020 16:00:36
As predicted, Wolves have returned with an improved offer for Daniel Podence. Talks with Olympiacos are going well and a deal is likely #WWFC

From a well known Greek Journo about an hour ago.

Most reports seem to be along the lines of wolves very optimistic Podence getting done soon.

Nothing concrete on the striker front. Let's not panic aye.

28 Jan 2020 16:57:19
Plz not Benteke.

28 Jan 2020 17:44:37
Never thought I'd say this. But we need a body! ease the pressure on Raul. It's a needs must situation. Surely we can snag a half way decent loan striker from somewhere?

Seems like it was a trust issue with Cutrone. can't see us dropping that lucky on a striker this window with someone he truly trusts to fill the Raul slot.

Only one thing is certain. Who ever it is. don't expect much game time. if I'm honest it's a tough sell.

28 Jan 2020 18:11:47
Deals take time, especially if the selling club is Greek. Greeks don't always come bearing gifts! They negotiate harder than the Spurs chairman.

Wolves are supposed to have a mystery back-up striker in the pipeline if Podence falls through. I wonder if this is just a bluff to pile pressure on the Greeks?

Villa were running around signing players last summer like headless chickens. £100 mil plus spent and they are now in big trouble, relegation-wise and financially. Wolves on the other hand spent incredibly shrewdly, and will continue to do so. In Nuno I trust.

28 Jan 2020 18:15:24
I've just heard where a Baggie fans's concrete source is. His local builder's merchant.

28 Jan 2020 19:09:41
Possibly matheus cunha. on his way.

28 Jan 2020 20:11:56
Daniel sturridge is the unnamed target 💯 I new Daniel at young age and Dean ex wolves striker who has told Daniel to sign n prove he still got it 4 mill deadline day u heard it from me 1st mock me make jokes this will happen.

28 Jan 2020 20:51:16
16.9 Mill.

28 Jan 2020 21:02:37
Sturridge would be no good here, given Wolves former head of the Med. dept. has joined L. A Galaxy. Unless DS real role is for medical students to inspect how reoccurring injuries are treated?

29 Jan 2020 09:59:07
We would need more than Super Phil to keep him fit Debs - maybe we're going to sign him because we're recruiting that well known Portugese medic Jesus Christ to work on him, one touch and he can run for miles!

28 Jan 2020 15:49:45
As it says in the media that villa are after sturridge for 4 million it's not concrete but have heard we are also interested.

28 Jan 2020 17:21:44
Not concrete or not true?! No chance, fits none of the club's criteria!

28 Jan 2020 17:58:43
We aren't that desperate, that we need villa targety.

29 Jan 2020 00:24:43
Wonder if Sturridge himself is going to have a few quid on which club he'll join 😆.
