Market

Hwang Hee-Chan puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wolverhampton, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Wolverhampton sign Derry Murkin for $16.3M

The paperwork is done: Derry Murkin joins from Derby County in a deal worth $16.3M. Now comes the harder part.

Market

Enso González has said yes to Harrogate Town

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Wolverhampton have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Adelaide United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Wolverhampton did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Wolverhampton

Fer López was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Wolverhampton come up short against Tottenham

Tottenham left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets

Wolverhampton rebuffed over Lukáš Horníček

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Newcastle United have kept their man, and Wolverhampton go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑3 defeat, delivered by Andrew Morgan to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Sean Neave falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

$16.3M settles it between the clubs for Derry Murkin

Derby County have accepted the money. What Wolverhampton do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from José Sá

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Wolverhampton

1‑4 against Bournemouth, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Derry Murkin

Wolverhampton asked and Derby County said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wolverhampton, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Wolverhampton

Fer López and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

José Sá gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Pedro Lima wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Wolverhampton

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
