Thanks, De wolf. You’re probably right about Johnstone. I’m struggling to think of who will stay. How many will want to stay and turn their guts out in the Championship? I think with Doherty there’s a place for him at RCB. He has a habit of surprising people.
I’m positive about what lays ahead for Wolves. I’ll be glad to see the back of a team struggling to field one UK player, and a bunch of players who see Wolves as nothing but a springboard to better things.

Wolves fans have to accept that many players - certainly the better players - are going to leave. Bids will come in for most of the first team squad - players who will not want to play in the Championship on a reduced wage. If you were a PL player on 80k a week, would you want Championship football on 56k a week? I know 56k a week is a fantastic wage, but these people live in a different world. Not just flash cars, houses, children in private schools, etc., many players will be supporting extended family and friends. As a young man I worked at a posh hotel and we hosted a famous footballers wedding reception. It was amazing how many ‘friends’ he had.
Starting from the back to the top there are players I would love for Wolves to keep, but I can’t see them staying. I would love Rodrigo Gomes, Lima, Mosquera, Krejci, Hugo Bueno, Wolfe, Mane, Bellegarde, Hwang-Hee Chan and Tolu to stay, but most will go. Bids will come in and these individuals have to think of their careers and their families.
We can’t be in the Championship with either H Bueno or Wolfe warming the bench, so one or both goes. Again, Lima has to play and he’s not going to get in front of R Gomes or whoever else is RB/RWB. If Edwards wants a new, experienced RB/RWB, R Gomes won’t sit on the bench in the Championship. There will be plenty of bids for Krejci. Agbadou won’t play in the Championship, unless Wolves have his family tied up in a basement for the entire season. Personally I’ll be glad to see Agba leave. Tchatchoua has to go simply because he’s bloody dreadful. Hwang is a weird one because he obviously has a lot of commercial value. This is why he plays week in week out. This is why Wolves are so desperate to unearth an amazing Chinese player. I would keep Hwang in the Championship, and he strikes me as a player who might stay, but again, many bids will come in for him. You buy Hwang for exposure in South Korea.
Who will stay? I think Johnstone will stay. I also think Doherty, S Bueno, Toti Gomes, but other than those few I’m struggling to think of anyone else! I think Tommy Doyle will be brought back in, which will be like a new signing.
Being honest, I think Wolves need a bit of a reset and Rob Edwards has to be allowed to build his own team. I love that his first two signings are English. It will be nice to see a team with a few UK players.

Come on Good, let’s have some realism. When a club offers you €25 million for a player who has been mostly bloody awful, you take it. Arias looked good against Shrewsbury, but that’s about it. He now also has no chance of getting in front of Angel Gomes and/or Bellegarde.
