Whether or not Magassa and Alvarez are in the team/match day squad, will tell us a lot about Nuno's views on them.
I'd play them both is they're fit enough.
If they're non starters henceforth, their sale value will plummet.
1.) 15 Sep 2026 14:12:55
Magassa has spoken at length to Nuno and apart from his injuries will be integrated into the squad, he also sent an apology to WH board for trying to organise his own transfer
Alvarez although conversations have taken place, seems still wanting to leave, no problem let him go, with an acceptable offer, as you know nothing came near that figure, however it's pointless giving him 50 k week for nothing
Cornet WH have offered the player a
Sum to end contract believed to be 500 k,,? this last season, at reduced wages is worth 1.6.m Three months have gone so he's due 1.2. M, the player will not get 31 k a week anywhere, so he's unlikely to take the offer, he will sit it out, unless WH raise the ante a bit further, there's not. Much to. be saved here Whichever way it goes Clears a space though.

What about Areola? Did they even try shifting him in August?
07 Sep 2026 22:18:13
Several websites reporting that Staveley is due to make an announcement.
02 Sep 2026 11:29:47
The Boiro loan is official on the Athletic Bilbao website.
Great to have a new LB with his attacking qualities and pace. (He started as a winger).
1.) 02 Sep 2026 13:19:03
Yep I get a positive vibe from that one. Let's hope he's a success.
01 Sep 2026 18:42:43
Orford not even in the match squad. What on earth is going on?
1.) 01 Sep 2026 18:53:25
The guy has lost it completely. Pablo in, Tatty on bench, same as Golumbekis, who was our best player Saturday. A nervous, out-of-confidence Scarles in against a really quick Wolves forward line.
I can hear the reversing bleeps of the bus as he parks it up.
2.) 01 Sep 2026 19:02:44
Nuno lost the plot!!
Has Pablo even scored a goal as yet? It is actually laughable. ??
3.) 01 Sep 2026 19:03:23
Hmmm, well, if Nuno loses this one & hasn't played the players that did well last game, he'll be out by the Millwall game. Maybe even before...
I'm pretty sure Taty will come on in the 2nd half. Can't explain Orford, though.
4.) 01 Sep 2026 19:14:41
Wtf is going on. Mav and Kilman at the back again with Pablo up front.
I despair.
5.) 01 Sep 2026 19:20:52
Think Nuno wants the sack. No Orford on deadline day, surely they won't, will they?
Sick of these boring defensive managers. Get Bellamy in.
6.) 01 Sep 2026 19:22:03
That being said, Wolves might actually come out and play against us. We might s*** house a win.
7.) 01 Sep 2026 19:22:58
Bellamy! Yes please.
8.) 01 Sep 2026 19:38:55
Bellamy would shake this lot up.
I'd still like McKenna.
9.) 01 Sep 2026 19:40:24
Our line up is certainly not defensive, Iron.Al! Terrifyingly attacking if anything.
10.) 01 Sep 2026 20:15:42
2 touches inside the Wolves box after 30 mins, and not a shot on goal yet. This is not a good watch. Might go home at half time.
11.) 02 Sep 2026 06:11:03
Who knew. ?
28 Aug 2026 10:09:28
The money issues seem to be worse than I feared.
1.) 28 Aug 2026 12:46:36.
Kretensky was supposed to buy golds ahares and inject cash, just before season tickets were released and sold in no small part due to Sullivan being outed, but nothing happened.
Then we had a "bid" from Staveley around about the time we were not signing anyone and should have been; this has now all but disappeared.
If you ask me, Sullivan is still in full control of everything and just doesn't have a title, but these stupid games are his doing. He still turns up to the games, I bet at the end of the year if we fail to get promotion he will announce his return as some sort of messiah. He is just the sort of personality that would too.
2.) 28 Aug 2026 13:13:24
This dont come as any surprise. Considering how many players were sold for an approximate total £200m, and how many were brought in and how much was spent.
Alvarez, Tobido, Mugassa and Cornet left to get rid of and jobs a good one.
We need a CB for sure, a decent left back, a winger and a holding midfielder, all for nothing!!!
3.) 28 Aug 2026 15:13:16
It just sounds like more BS to me. And whilst I don't agree with Robbo that Sullivan is still in charge. I believe DK is just following the Sullivan BS model for transfers. The only benefits are prices obtained and incoming players not highlighted 3 weeks before they arrive.
I think and hope that matters outside football will gather pace to rid us of the posioned dwarf.
I'm not standing up for the grubby little individual but If this had been Sullivan running this window there would be civil war Kretinsky gets cut too much slack imo
4.) 28 Aug 2026 20:04:51
I think it might be a case of 3 major shareholders playing off against each other, because all (if Stavely were to buy the Gold shares) want to be the main player, but none of them want responsibility for clearing the debt. This would explain the big sales and lack of money spent. I think very little will be spent this window, but in January they will take another view.
If we’re in a very strong position, why spend? If we have no hope of promotion or playoffs, why spend? If we’re hovering around the top 10, then I think significant purchases might be made. They are not thinking about the supporters, they are thinking like hard-headed business people. A dangerous game indeed, but if it comes off we could be in a very different position in 9 months time.
5.) 28 Aug 2026 23:03:54
imo I don't see any conclusions to any share movements until early October.
That's if everything is passed ok.
6.) 29 Aug 2026 07:09:52
I personally think Sullivan's only interest is screwing over Kretinsky. And I expect him to sell up to Staveley's group alongside Gold and Tripp Smith. Sullivan is many things, but stupid isn't one. There's no way back for him at WHUFC.

We have 14 points from our last 6 games which is the best in the league. As frustrating as the last game was, we mustn't get caught up too much on the negatives of one performance. Similarly, whilst that 6:0 was great fun, that ain't gonna happen every week.
Breathe deeply. We're doing ok.
19 Sep 2026 19:37:39
I didn't see today's game, but kept an eye on the score as it went along.
Sounds like we were lucky to get away with a draw and that Kante and Pablo made the difference.
We will need every individual in the squad to make a difference when needed.
Bearing in mind our start to the season I'm happy with where we are now, but there's so much work still to do.
1.) 19 Sep 2026 20:04:22
I didn't see it either Markro, had the joy of a 2 hour drive to Heathrow and then a 2 hour drive back.
Seen the comments on here and in other places sounds like the 1st half was a disgrace but to get back to 2.2 ain't bad. When Man U or Arsenal play bad but still get something out of the game they are praised as showing grit. So I will take it.
I've seen some highlights and it seems as Robbo said Pablo played well and even though he was at fault for the player going through on goal and got himself sent off, I thought Kante looked good from what I saw.
14 Sep 2026 18:53:21
If Man United miss out on Europe by 1 point, or City qualify for Europe because of those 2 extra points (it would have been a draw without the Var intervention). there will be huge financial implications for certain clubs.
1.) 14 Sep 2026 19:55:47 Markro, without being unkind mate, would any of our fans care? because I couldn't ??⚒⚒⚒.
2.) 14 Sep 2026 22:03:34
Merely an objective observation. To take the point further, I am enjoying the VAR free Championship so much more than last year.
3.) 15 Sep 2026 11:53:05
Markro, me too mate, with the wins as well could make you hope we stay in the Championship? VAR has wrecked the game imo, Football is a game of mistakes & luck or bad luck, the overpaid prima donnas that run the game think they have to earn their money making changes to justify the huge incomes even then the crook Infantino wants to abuse his authority???⚒⚒⚒⚒.
11 Sep 2026 23:15:21
As good as it gets.
1.) 11 Sep 2026 23:57:05
Not bad, not bad. Mavropanos worries me as he is so careless but 6-0 and it could easily have been 9-0, cant grumble
The gulf in class is clear and if we dont win this league something is wrong.
2.) 12 Sep 2026 08:05:39
For me there has been a gell set. Between the players, the inter passing was as good as it gets, we could have got a few more
40 games to go no complacency please,every game won't be like that one, but the players know what they can do now.
3.) 12 Sep 2026 09:22:02
My mate is a QPR fan. He thinks this season could be the one he sees the Hoops get back to the top tier. This morning he said that West Ham is the team everyone has to beat and if we don't get promoted, we need shooting. After that master class last night, I find it difficult to fault his observation.
Today's fixture between West Brom and QPR should give us a clear indication of the standard of two of our main rivals. Fulham in the Carabao cup up next, and they aren't having a great start to their season. Then it's Millwall.
4.) 12 Sep 2026 13:40:12
Mac3, phew bit scathing on Mav, bloody hell he'd be in my team every time, look at the goals he scores, Scarles worries me more than Mav with his reckless tackles near the area, what defenders or players don't make mistakes, the game can be won or lost on mistakes thats the game! I certainly know I made mistakes in my working life like everybody has! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.
11 Sep 2026 14:17:29
My team for tonight:
Hermansen
Veltman
Mavro
Kilman
Boiro
Orford
Engels
Mukasa
Bowen
Piroe
Soloman.
1.) 11 Sep 2026 16:01:22
I like that, but I bet Taty starts. Possibly Kante and scarles.
2.) 11 Sep 2026 16:18:38
I think it's a decent side but i reckon he persists with Pablo. On form your team should be the team._.
15 Sep 2026 17:29:37
He seems to be half decent only when he can speak German to his team mates.
10 Sep 2026 19:06:35
I'm less bothered about tax issues than that he's on his way.
02 Sep 2026 21:34:14
Mac, I think we've got some decent cover at Cb:
Veltman
Golambeckis
Morato
Alvarez (has played there many times for Mexico and other clubs)
Magassa (is seeking forgiveness for rocking the boat and blaming his agent!)
Can all play at Cb.
02 Sep 2026 17:45:24
Agree. Huge money raised, but not much spent has eased a lot of pressure on the financial state of the club. The wages bill has dropped radically. Fernandes and Summerville were always going to go once we were demoted, but the club negotiated far better deals than we have in the past.
Deadweights/dressing room negatives have been shipped out (for this season at least).
Incoming players are a blend of experience and youth. Loan deals are a temporary fix, but are cheap.
I think all of the new players have good potential and our youngsters' performances have been highly encouraging so far.
In terms of the latest signings, the proof is in the pudding.
I continue to be optimistic.
28 Aug 2026 11:08:30
Austbo has lots of energy and gets his crosses in well. He's reasonably pacy, though I'm not thoroughly convinced about him taking defenders on. There's a lack of genuine dribbling in the YouTube videos. He's got bags of confidence and a very good reputation in Norway.
Jury's out, for me.
14 Sep 2026 22:03:34
Merely an objective observation. To take the point further, I am enjoying the VAR free Championship so much more than last year.
14 Sep 2026 16:35:11
Agree with all of the above. What a team player he was for us.
10 Sep 2026 19:03:54
I'm a tad happier than I was after the first 3 games.
09 Sep 2026 19:19:49
...And I said, "Well done the lads for coming through a tough game with all three points."
I didn't say that it was expected to be a tough game. I said that it was a tough game.
Hey, ho.
09 Sep 2026 14:33:56
Disagree, Tin.
Our positional choices made the game tougher than it should have been and turned it from an expected win into a tough one.
Should it have been a tough game? Maybe not. Was it one? Yup.
