I liked the look of their young keeper who played against us in the FA Cup

I didn't realise Wednesday could be under a transfer embargo until January 2027. That's brutal.

A transfer embargo may not be terminal. Losing their manager would be a bigger blow. Also if players leave. I assume the embargo means they can't sign anyone?

If they go I think they can replace, trying to think back to when we had our embargoes

They can't buy players but they can still sell players, cant see many of their players staying mate, Danny Rohl will probably go back to Germany

Or Middlesbrough, or Leicester, or Ipswich (if their manager goes to Brentford)

I’m pretty sure they can sign players on free transfers a la Cardiff a couple of seasons ago.

Had a read yesterday, they can have a max squad of 23 players of “professional standard”. Not allowed to pay fees for a loan or transfer

Good player in his day but I'm not sure now, hasn't played for months and had two big injuries in the last couple of years

Wolves fans I speak to would keep him. When they were shipping goals they didn't understand why he wasnt playing. They signed agbadou in January who is quality, and say thats the reason he hasnt had a look in

Good player but not sure he’d fit our style of play - If Lampard wants to play the high line in defence we need some pace back there so we may be targeting some younger quicker CBs.

Yeah, he'd be butchered if he played for us with all that space behind him.

Suit someone who defends with a much lower line.

That's a fair distance.

Even if he doesn't get another job I find it very difficult to see him being their manager come August

Yep. More good news for us (given my constant worry of relegation conditioning). Just need Leicester to be docked 40 points and I can relax for the season ahead.

I’m surprised RVN is still at Leicester. I wonder if he is waiting to see how big of a points deduction they get before committing
