    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Yeah. Probably still a few oligarchs, sheikhs, or "consortiums" out there fancying themselves as the owner of a Premier League club. Just not one in Wolverhampton.

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Lopetegui, whatever else you think of him, had the measure of Fosun. We're now well into that phase of the ownership cycle where Fosun want their money back and, if possible, flip the club for a profit. Forget building a team capable of winning anything, it isn't going to happen under these...

    Raheem Sterling worth asking about (cheeky low bid or loan), or is he: a) too toxic b) too past it c) too out of our price range d) all of the above. ?

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Perfectly aligned to what we're seeing in reality. Sky high season ticket prices, selling any player that has value, and reinvesting as little as possible to milk the Premier league payments - and soon enough the parachute payments. The "free to spend" line from last year has conveniently been...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    He will. They were told he was a generational talent and Fosun hoped to see that development, get some good years out of him, then flip him for a big profit. Didn't work, and he's essentially worthless. But we wouldn't do that now, we're shopping in the bargain basement that will eventually see...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Ipswich showing what a competent and coherent club can achieve. Will they stay up? Maybe not, but they've come a long way in a little time thanks to finding/keeping a good manager and having owners with ambition. The heady days of Wolves bringing in decent talent - some on the way up, some of...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    The policy is to cull millions of animals. Awful stories coming out of the cruel methods being employed. But sure, a "misrepresentation". But it's a football forum not an animal rights forum. New season upon us! Are we happy with the business done to prepare us for it?

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    They have "dotted vowels" which don't exist in English. The ü, for example, sounds like the u in uber. But they're currently killing millions of streets animals in Turkey, so f**k 'em.

    Where will Wolves finish 2024/5?

    A bit embarrassing for the Premier League to be running a 'competition' where one team is 82.2% likely to win. Again. 16th seems about right for us, although I doubt anyone be all that surprised if we finish below Forest. Fosun hoping GON is the real deal.

    Where will Wolves finish 2024/5?

    15-17. Start the season flirting with relegation, if not rock bottom. But through sheer attrition, and promoted teams getting worked out, we'll eventually claw our way clear. Rinse and repeat next year.

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    One of the biggest leagues in the world and it's still populated by teams who are glorified revolving doors for good players to prove themselves. Remarkable that they demonstrate no ambition to actually win anything, but happily fleece the fans with inflated prices. I actually believed Fosun had...

    Wasn't the plan to establish ourselves as a top half team, push on to regular European football, then challenge for the title? How times have changed.

    Crystal Palace (H) 11/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

    Kilman could've been somebody else's problem. But he's still our problem.

    Manchester City (A) 4/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

    Games like this are a terrible advert for the Premier League. Embarrassing, really.

    Wolves 0-1 Bournemouth: Verdict Thread

    That was rough. Of those playing tonight - and I know it doesn't work this way - we've got decent players in RAN and Cunha to build around. Lemina too, I think he's ok. But other than that, who would you want to keep?

    Bournemouth (H) 24/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

    We have an unfortunate knack of making poor teams look good. That half of football (?) was just embarrassing.

    Bournemouth (H) 24/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

    Car crash football. We're being absolutely dominated at home. Quite remarkable really. We need quality players to come in this summer. We won't get them, but we need them.

    "Can Wolves keep possession for more than a couple of passes?" "Nope"

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Funny how it's never Wolves interested in one of Man Utd's best players. That, points deductions, FFP for some but maybe not for others (Man City for sure, Chelsea?), and an observer might begin to think the whole thing is rigged. Ever was it thus! The papers are full of Neto off to, say...

    We look f**king awful at home against one of the worst Man Utd teams in living memory.
