Take a point. Played well for an hour. Lost our way after Fulham equalised. Bueno excellent. Raul, Lemina & Semedo very good too. Huge save from Jose near the end. Up to 15th 🐺

Excellent first half. Lemina brings the best out of Neves. Raul a brilliant focal point. Bueno once again showing he is a real talent 🐺

Think Lemina will make big difference. COYW 🐺

✌️ Two changes from .
🇬🇦 Lemina back after suspension.
🇲🇽 Raul leads the line.

“Julen’s been key in driving it, it was a player he wanted to bring in, and when he speaks to them, he’s phenomenal. The way he talks, with passion, passion he’s already got for the football club. This is a guy who has worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world, but the way he talks about our club, it makes you want to sign on the same call.” (Matt Hobbs).

Sporting director Matt Hobbs: Julen Lopetegui was key in Joao Gomes' Wolves transfer Sporting director Matt Hobbs has praised Julen Lopetegui's influence in convincing Joao Gomes to sign for Wolves.

🐺

Wolves complete Gomes signing Wolves have secured the signing of highly rated Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes from Flamengo, subject to work permit and international clearance.

OUR SHOP CLOSES ON 7 FEB. After this, prints of Louise Cobbold Art paintings will no longer be available. Only 2 left in 75 edition of Raul (print 85) & 250 edition of Neves Villa Park Winner (print 130). Also only 6 left in 150 edition of Neves Wonder Goal (print 17). Head to sportspersonalities.org 🐺

“João Gomes only wanted Wolves”. The words of Fabrizio Romano. Contract to June 2028. What a reception this lad is going to get 🐺✅

The gamble attempted by John Textor did not work. 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes will not sign for Lyon. It’s time to 🐺
(update via L’Equipe in France)

Wolves still hoping to sign Joao Gomes. JG has made it clear this is the move he wants. Could develop in next 24 hours. (Alex Crook, TalkSPORT). A number 9 needed too (possibly with a back-up GK) please. Then a cracking transfer window 🐺

Very poor from Sa..

Haaland nudged in front of him to put City ahead, but for me Collins was superb in that first half. Generally a solid team showing; never going to be easy against the array of City talent but we have hung in there. Sarabia, Podence & Cunha on by 60 at the very latest for a creative cutting edge 🐺

Balanced distribution of yellow cards again 😐 Rico Lewis lucky not to receive a red as Hwang was clean through. You can understand JL’s frustration 🐺

Lemina starts; Sarabia on the bench 🐺

🇬🇦 Lemina makes first start
💪 Raul and Adama in the XI

Here’s how we line-up to take on Manchester City 🐺📋

Cracking signing - much needed experience 🐺

Craig Dawson; contract signed & medical completed yesterday - deal done with West Ham for £3.3m fee. Dawson will be unveiled on a contract valid until June 2025. (Fabrizio Romano). 🐺

Craig Dawson medical today 🐺

Excellent piece 🐺

Johnny Phillips: Wolves need to give their fans something to feed off Julen Lopetegui has plenty to fix on the pitch for Wolves, and one of the by-products of any success may well lead to an improvement in the atmosphere off it.

update: ‘Joao Gomes wants to sign for Wolves. He's determined, despite strong interest from Lyon. Flamengo obviously prefer the French club's more attractive offer – but Wolves are back in talks knowing the player really wants to join them. Game on.’ 🐺🤞 (Lyall Thomas, Sky Sports)

‘Atlético Madrid and Wolves will be in contact again to close Felipe deal in the next 24/48 hours. It's crucial moment for the negotiation.’ (via Fabrizio Romano). Didn’t expect another CB after Dawson? Surely we’ll only sign one of them? 🐺

Goncalo Guedes close to sealing a loan move to Benfica for the rest of the season. He is due in Lisbon later tonight 🐺

Wolves have reportedly reached an agreement with West Ham to sign Craig Dawson (Sky) 🐺

Class 🐺👏

West Ham buy Ings. We buy Antonio? 🐺

What a lad .. Joao Gomes has told Lyon he will not sign for them, after they travelled to 🇧🇷 to convince him. Doesn't hugely change the state of play as Flamengo haven’t engaged with Wolves since going back on their initial agreement last weekend 🐺
(Alex Crook, TalkSport)

Less than 3 weeks until sportspersonalities.org, our online shop, closes. Art prints covering the Nuno years as well as more recent seasons & legends / past moments (74/80 cup final). All from original paintings by Louise Cobbold Art. Hibbitt watercolour (print 31) only 4 left in the 50 edition, Neves Wonder goal (print 17) only 8 left of the 150 edition 🐺

Good start, but then very lacklustre. Need to make changes at half time. Nunes & Cunha at the very least required. Too easy for a weakened LFC.

Liverpool could have had four yellow cards. They’ve had none. Traore one foul = yellow. Joke.

The reason behind that incredibly annoying noise behind them in the BBC studio 😂

New signing 🐺

Sarabia becomes latest Wolves signing Attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia has completed a permanent move to Wolves from Paris Saint-Germain, reuniting him with former head coach Julen Lopetegui.

Great spot by Wolves Fancast 🐺😂

Thoughts on starting XI? 🐺

✌️ Two changes from the team that played at Anfield.
🔁 Sa and Moutinho introduced.
