Any serious owners and management with ambition of promotion would have acted by now with sales and new recruits.
If players are not good enough, they need to go, sold, loans or whatever, clear them out.
Without a new GK, at least 1 CB, probably 2 (if Santi and Krejci are leaving), an attacking CM and probably 2 wingers, I think mid table is about our level this season.
I was giving Shi 2 the transfer window before deciding if he was an improvement on Shi 1. At the moment it is looking poor, unfortunately. Come on Nathan, get it sorted so we at least look capable of challenging for promotion.

Banksy, I agree with your assessment, but I would add a striker to that list as well. 46 games, plus FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Are Jimenez and Armstrong going to manage? Plus, what if one or both get injured? What happens then? Just look at Rafiki Said, 10mill out for at least 2 months.
Plus, I would give Jordan James a time limit: sign by Friday or deal's off. That gives Wolves a chance to get someone else.

Hi DMac,
I was reading an article stating WHU are looking to hijack that deal. Not sure if it's a reliable source, but if he doesn't want to come, then why bother.

If, and it is a big if, any new players come in, it will be at the very end of the window, and they will most likely be panic buys. This will then give Fosun a ready-made excuse of 'We tried but just couldn't get the deals over the line', as well as 'Because they came in so late in the window, they'll need at least 8 weeks to adapt to their new environment and tactics'.
Let's stop making excuses. Fosun are taking us fans for mugs. If we do have a decent season, it will be 100% credit to Peixoto for changing the tactics, but Fosun have 100% tied one arm behind his back.

Both valid posts. 1 game too early to judge?
Every Wolves fan can see Toti is useless. Not only does Peixoto play him, but he makes him captain. Compound this with our best defender (Trippier), who should be captain, getting substituted by arguably the worst player ever signed by the club.
Forget signings. Our two best players, Trips and Raul, have played the least minutes in the last two competitive games.
Excuses on a postcard, but it's clear this manager is a dud and will be gone by Christmas.
I'll take bets on it.

So it begins.

I think I'm the odd one out. I think Wolves could make 3 to 4 new signings. Right winger, CM, striker, plus CH or 2 depending on Krejkci leaving. BlackfordsWolf1, I read the same story. Why would West Ham want him, they are signing Arne Engels for 22milll.
Is he going to play at Wolves? Yes, but it's taking longer. Is he using Wolves to see if anybody else comes in, like a PL club? My answer is no. I would give him till Wed. If he's not going to sign, tell him to look for someone else.
