Summer 2026 Transfer Window Thread

[The Saturday Boy]

I couldn’t care less where any of them play as long as it isn’t at Wolves.

Absolute clockwork. Adams & Armstrong dream team…

 

[Tony Towner]

Didn't they score about 30 between them as a partnership for Southampton? We aren't going to build a top half ready PL side again, that was a one off. Armstrong and Adams are the types of players that will get you up.

 

[Deano]

I don't mind a few players of this ilk I don't want to be filling the squad out with them though, I know you've got to get up first but you've got to also show some form of medium to long term vision while doing it otherwise you need a whole new squad if you actually get there. They're different types of player but now we've got Armstrong id prefer a different profile of signing for the other attacking positions than someone like Adams.

 

[Alan]

I'm a big fan of having two players who have been successful together previously.

All negativity aside, I'm going to be absolutely fascinated to watch our XI for next season take shape.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

In the same way as one is morbidly fascinated passing a motorway pile-up?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Che Adams is a weird punchline on here, there is of course a huge drop off from peak Raul Jimenez to him but he's not a dreadful player or anything.

He and Armstrong would be fine together and I'm even more in favour of it if it means we play a front two and finally move away from having three centre halves holding hands and stopping nothing.

Why he'd move from Torino to us in the Championship is another matter, because I wouldn't.

 

[Alan]

No.

 

[Alan]

Pffft, you know a player is only ever fantastic or horrific

As I see it, things go one of two ways. I am not commenting on manager as I expect him to still be here in August whatever the scenario.

Plan A: We actually take advantage of the couple of extra weeks knowing where we are playing and financial power compared to everyone else definitely in the championship before the final game of the season, to get a forward line of Adams and Armstrong in place which will score plenty of goals at that level, and also get a new midfield and sell Andre and Joao as quickly as possible with deals in place to replace them, and then move onto a complete rebuild of the defence and goalkeeping positions. Build a team ready to challenge for top two in the understanding that some of them will need replacing next summer if we achieve the goal.

Plan B: Dither for a few weeks. Find Spurs have come down, Wrexham have failed in the playoffs, Blues have got their chequebook out, and miss out on targets to Burnley because they have a consistent record of being too good for the championship and not good enough for the top flight. End up with a shit squad for the lower level and bugger about in around 14th.

I know which plan I prefer.

 

[Keef]

It’ll be we tried, but players were on holiday,
We tried but our targets were away at the World Cup,
We tried but it was pre season training and players are settled in,
We tried but couldn’t get in our top targets in before the transfer window shut,
Here’s a load of players who were old, not very good, free agents nobody wanted, we very happy they show a desire to play for wolves.

Plan B it is then.

 

[prawnking]

Not sure if this is genuine but I'd be firing those 'defenders' and 'full backs' into the sun personally

 

[sycophantia]

Doubt there will be many suitors for Toti, Rodrigo will probably stay. Bellegarde will be here. I think any clamour for Mane has disappeared and suspect he will stay. Possibly Santi unless a European club comes in for him. Who knows about Lima, he is almost certainly better than any other FB we have but Edwards doesn't seem to fancy him. The rest will be gone.

 

[Langers]

Tbh some (not all!) of the names in there are the few I'd like us to keep here.

Mosquera, Hugo and Bellegarde can do one, however.

I'd have been crestfallen to see the likes of Tchatchoua and Hwang amongst those names - I wouldn't trust them to open a can of soup

 

[Derby Wolf]

Ah yes, Sasa Kalajdzic who could famously cope with a 38 game season expected back before a 46 game season.

 

[Mel Evo]

The big, obvious takeaway is that what happened in 2017 - 2020 was such a random outlier. Taken me a long time to truly see it TBH, longer to accept it.

In a roundabout way, my kids’ experience of following Wolves in their teens and as they become adults will broadly be the same as mine in the 90s. Ultimately in the same stadium too.

Tbh I'd prefer to jettison all of them if that was practical; absolute rogue's gallery of losers and inadequates.

I'd say only Mane, Rodrigo and Lima are relatively untainted, although two of them are probably shit

I can't really disagree with this tbf
