Am I right in thinking that the reason we are bringing in so many loan players and having only 1 or 2 big signings is because of Financial Fair Play, editor?

{Ed001's Note - no, it is nothing to do with FFP.}

So Wolves could go out and blow £80 million on an entire new team if they wanted to without getting a fine, etc?

{Ed001's Note - so long as their loss over a 3 year period is within the restrictions, yes.}

I think we're bringing in so many loan players because we're feeling our way. If we wanted to spend big on permanent signings, FFP wouldn't hold us back, we'd just do what the likes of Bournemouth did (ignore FFP and pay a paltry fine) . Also, FFP is more relaxed now and takes a 3-year view. No point in making big signings unless they are absolutely right. Also, big signings won't want to come to us unless it looks like we will go up.

It does make you wonder why Fosun aren't spending massively (other than the Tulisca rumour) and are signing players like Bodvarsson or this Metz chap. Especially when you consider how much they want to get into the Premiership this season.

Perhaps at the moment, the league we are in., we aren't a big enough prospect to attract players on 3 year deals? We could be getting these players in on season long loans and contracts, with an agreement to extend if we have a successful year. I may be wrong, just an idea!

I'd guess because their first choice Manager took the Spanish job, most of the already scouted and lined up potential signings were probably his choice and they've had to look at it all again. And then the deal seems to have taken longer to finalise than they seemed to expect, so have less time now than they probably expected in order to find their feet.

Talisca still seems to be on, but who knows if others were lined up but were then dropped because of change in new Manager? Walter needs to work out the team tactics and how he wants to play in the Chump, then get players in to fit with that. Our first 'proper' transfer window where we really know what we want / need may not be until Winter.

And while Fosun have stated their absolute desire to get to Prem and as soon as possible, I don't think it's realistic to expect that this season, we need to work so much out and let it gel first. We've not even had a proper pre-season, and are trying to take a threadbare squad forward that was only mid table last season, and is still hampered by injuries for a while.

Have to say I'm disappointed with some of the attitudes I'm seeing on Mol Mix etc, where people 'expect' promotion this season, like it's their right. It's like they are so frustrated at Moxey and Morgan not having got us anywhere, that it's overdue and so Fosun must do it immediately. And they have money so apparently we've a right for them to throw it around without a care, just to satisfy our impatience. It's not fair or realistic, Fosun aren't the ones who've failed us before, they don't deserve our frustration that belongs to Moxey attaching to them and all that unreasonable pressure.

We need to give them a chance, we should be supporting them with open minds, pushing them up, not applying unfair frustration and expectation on them that is likely to only be a weight and push them down. This season we should just enjoy it without expectation, show good will and good heart, if we do better than Kenny did last season and show some seeds of style and quality that can be evolved into the full thing, I reckon that's a positive start, and we can get properly serious next season once they are bedded in.

Agree with pretty much everything you say ulf apart from Lopetgui was not Fosuns first choice. He was taking the position if we were taken over by Robin Li not these guys so I wish everyone would stop keep saying our first choice took the Spain job and let us down. Who knows Zenga may have been first choice for Fosun but what we all need to do is get completely behind the team and manager, quit the negative comments about the new signings just because we have not heard of them. Remember we had not heard of Sako and he did alright. On the other hand established names don't always work at a different club for example Robbie Keane has done fantastic at every club except Liverpool. I am however a bit peed off that we have not gone after proven championship players as well such as Pritchard and McCormack but for all those wanting Alan Judge I don't think he would pass a medical with the badly broken leg suffered at the end of the season. COYW.

I think Lopetgui has actually said since Fosun took over, that he was their choice but had to pull out as couldn't turn down the National Spanish job. There's an interview on E&S about it, he even said he respected Kenny for putting up with it all and staying professional.

I think Robin Li was just a smoke screen and was never involved, at least as a front man, Lopetgui was Fosun's man. I'm glad though that we got Zenga instead, I think he's a perfect fit personality wise, just need him to make it work on the pitch.

I agree though with everything you say, would have been good to get some solid quality Champ experience in, maybe some players like that will turn up before window closes, or if not, maybe they'll learn we need them and do it in the Winter window?

Agree with comments above. Next season is more realistic. Dreading the comments should we lose today. Be the same old crap from the same idiots that are negative beyond belief. Come on, get behind our team. It will come good. We are Wolves!

Here's the link to the E&S article where Lopetgui admits it was Fosun (not Robin Li) he was in a deal with as their first choice Manager.
