My opinion on Santi: he wants to leave but nobody put a bid in so he's staying. But CP has left our best Right CH out of the squad. Djiga is alright, but not in the same league as Santi. Then Mosquera injured but a bull in a china shop. But as I see it, Wolves Wolves are worse of the defence after 5 games is shocking.
Me put Santi in the 25 man squad till Jan then see what happens. Him Krejkci to best CH for Wolves, who do you leave out? Toti not a problem. Just my opinion, would make Wolves better.

Sorry, DMac123, but Djiga has pace and strength. Santi has neither of those attributes. Santi's impressive in a sweeper role, but he's not good enough when in a four.
Djiga also has a much higher ceiling than Santi.
A back four with Trippier, Santi Bueno, Krejci and Hugo Bueno would be okay, but I feel that Trippier will prefer Djiga's pace next to him.

Agree, Mr Train.
Are you relatively new here? I have not noticed your posts previously, but am tending to enjoy reading the ones you have posted recently.
I am a natural bear, but am finding myself agreeing with your bullish comments and selections.

Train, it's not all about pace, it's about positioning and control. That's why Wolves have conceded more goals than anybody, bar Burnley. Djiga is alright, but not experienced enough. Mosquera is an absolute nightmare. Santi is the best of the 3, and with Krejci, the best ch pairing in the Champ.

Hi, tfiog. I've been on here before, but I get frustrated and leave for a while. My love for Wolves brings me back. Thanks for your kind words.
I genuinely believe that with the back four, Trippier is the final piece of the jigsaw. He will want/require a fast player next to him. Djiga is perfect.
Mosquera was one of the fastest defenders I've ever seen, but two major injuries have stripped him of his electric pace. However, he is a very important player for Wolves. He can also play three positions: RB, RCB & LCB.
Santiago Bueno was - at times - impressive in a back five playing in the sweeper role, but he's not the right player for a back four, especially in a team that plays such a high line.
Wolves have tried to sell Santi before.
They've even tried to loan him out. You can't drop Djiga to bring Santi in.
I watched West Ham vs Bolton, and there isn't much else to come from the Hammers. What you see now is what you'll get all season.
Middlesbrough lose Will Lankshear and they lose most of their potency. I haven't been overly impressed by Middlesbrough. They simply have an excellent goal scorer.
Southampton have looked okay, but I haven't been blown away.
Three strong sides, but Wolves have room for improvement that those sides don't have.
Quite simply, at times this season - so very early on - Wolves have left me with the Mick McCarthy face from the Charlton game when Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored That goal!

Djiga has been pretty solid. He is making plays and covering for others. He busts his arse out there. Now that Toti is out of the starting 11, I hope for good. I believe our only defensive weak spot is RB until Trippier returns. I would try Lima in place of Tchat unless Konan can cover.

None of you mention them lot down the road. They've got b******* this season & they'll be up there. I hate them as much as anyone, but if we're not careful, the undateables will do us this time. We're simply not good enough, but we've got better players than most in this league, so who's to blame????.
Me, personally, will wait to see the team sheet for Sheff Utd & then we'll see where the problem is..cus we cannot play & expect anything after that 2nd half showing against Blues.

We have to play a back 3, Djiga, Mosquera, Krecji, when all fit! Trippier and Hugo as wing-backs, JJ must start. I'm afraid we're still a striker short, Lang would have been ideal. FWAW
