Genuine question. Will we be doing more business? For me if we get a goalkeeper and a winger I'd be happy. With Munetsi, Lopez, Doyle and Sasa coming back in.

I think we have to be realistic. Any player out there who is worth looking at will be attracting attention from a number of clubs, not just Wolves, so there will always be a contest for his signature, that is, assuming that his parent club is even open to offers.
The chances of finding a real bargain are slim given how comprehensive the scouting networks of most clubs are.
What is most important is that we spend wisely and not have a knee jerk moment like we have in the past to our regret.

Generally speaking, I agree, Derry, but this is also why I find it so entirely bizarre that Bristol City got Ballard virtually uncontested! He was going for very cheap (I suspect around £4m), and is an absolute bargain at 21 for that price. ?

Ballard is an odd one. How did he get overlooked? Probably, a League One striker having a great season doesn't register on the Richter scale. Jamie Vardy was in non-league before Leicester, so you have to scout far and wide. You can't judge a book by its cover.
Of course, Moxey turned down signing Varley for Wolves at £1mil.
Orient fans are devastated with the sale of Ballard. Same as when we bemoaned the sale of Cunha, etc. But Orient are after
Jaze Kabia, who scored 23 goals for Grimsby last season, so good luck to them.

Does anyone know if there's still a match day blog.

I think with the players West Ham & Burnley, who were both better than us last season, and the players Boro are signing, we definitely need to add 4 or 5 good players worthy of getting straight into the starting 11. As it stands, we've got Bentley, who couldn't get his place at Bristol. Mosquera, who is always walking a tightrope. Munetsi, who runs but little else. And then we look at possible injuries to players like Raul.
Where's the goals gonna come from? It's only my opinion, so don't shoot me down, but if we struggle the first 2 games, and only a couple of weeks of the transfer window left, we're gonna end up with panic buys. We have no worthy cover in crucial positions, and as I speak, it looks like Boro are making another good signing. We'll see soon enough, I suppose. Forever Wolves, though.

You know the score, Lexluna. Limits to size of squad, we have to sell or loan 'em out first. All things being equal, we still have plenty of time.

You're right, Deep, but I'm getting a little worried now.
