Gone quiet on signings at the moment, hope it is due to the World Cup. New manager will be working hard on identifying new players ?.
Would like to see a few more in ASAP, new GK, 2 wingers and at least 1 new attacking midfielder please.
Any idea what system our new manager normally plays?

Banksy51, mate, I think it is 2,4,3,1, that's why they're looking for wingers. At the moment, that's all they seem to be doing. Aral Simsir looks to be going to Trasanspor of Turkey, and there is no news on Andre Luiz.

Over the last several years Wolves have had a pretty atrocious track record of being proactive and intelligent when it comes to bringing new players in. I'm also starting to become concerned, but I'm hoping that it's a new manager coming in - plus the World Cup - that's gumming up the works.
I might be wrong, but with a new manager coming in and Mendes stepping up to play a bigger role, Wolves might be identifying different players. I imagine Jackson and Edwards would have been looking at players that Peixoto wouldn't want.
A Peixoto team will certainly play different football to an Edwards team.
I feel that Wolves will be looking for a new goalkeeper, left-sided centre-back, left back, one or two midfielders, one or two wingers, and two forwards. The fans forum did hint that the team going forward would be very different.
Wolves will likely start the season with players they're trying to sell. Thankfully they should have enough decent players to start the season strongly.

The World Cup will inevitably delay the transfer window, but let's not forget, the vast majority of players have not gone to the World Cup at all and 32 teams have been eliminated.
If the players who did go to the World Cup have been eliminated, they will now have a few weeks off, ready to return slightly late for pre season.
So, if Wolves start the season with players they are looking to sell, then our transfer window really has taken a turn for the worse.
You have to ask: why were we unable to sell Mosquera, Toti and Toti? Is it because of the World Cup, or is it because nobody wants them.

I was thinking of a 4231 type formation, DMac. At the moment, we may start the season with both Andre and Joao. I think we may need 3 more attacking players ahead of them if we do.
Raul, maybe R. Gomes, and definitely another 2 skilful, fast players. Hope you are correct, Clapped Out Zephyr, and we will continue signing players soon, and good ones. ? ?

Banks51, Mendes is a big problem for Wolves. Reports are saying Wolves are interested in Gustavo Sa. Going to West Ham for 17mill. Wolves must have no money whatsoever. 2 players they were interested in are going somewhere else.
Wolves are getting screwed by Mendes. Last season Uche went to CP because of him. Now Gomes deal is off, and Gustavo Sa is now going to West Ham. Something is wrong and Mendes is involved.

I don't think it's the end of the world if Gustavo Sa moves to West Ham. Do Wolves desperately need a 21-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder?
If Rodrigo Gomes and Mane are going to be playing in forward positions, I don't think the club needs another kid. They need older, more battle-hardened players.

Ice, you're right, but the big if is whether Mane or Rodrigo are going to be there.

The World Cup is no excuse for inactivity - are Wolves in the market for players in the tournament? - I think not. A leopard does not change its spots - more lying as usual from Fosun, with yet another dismal pre season in full swing; less than six weeks to go to the new season.
I smile when posters put their line-ups on this site with players in the team, or who have not actually signed.
