After such a disappointing summer, the January transfer window could dictate Wolves’ season with plenty of areas to improve after the first 11 games.
It was always going to be vital that Wolves made the most of the summer transfer window after the exits of key players like Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia and Rayan Ait-Nouri.
However, the departure of Matt Hobbs was felt as Dominico Teti and Vitor Pereira appear to have wasted that money if the performances of the new signings are anything to go by.
Which position do Wolves need to prioritise in January?
Jhon Arias has flattered to deceive with zero contributions since joining the club, and he now seems to be edging towards a potential exit in January.
The only signing that can really hold his head high is Ladislav Krejci, who has stepped up as a real leader, giving everything on the pitch, no matter the result.
Wolves have made an offer for Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas
Jose Sa and Sam Johnstone swapped the role of number one to start the season under Vitor Pereira after a string of mistakes from the former.
One thing that goes in Johnstone’s favour is his leadership both on and off the field, constantly speaking out and taking a stand after the negative run of results.

But, it seems as if the club have realised that perhaps Jose Sa cannot be trusted, and it comes as no surprise.
According to Il Messaggero, Wolves have made a loan to buy offer for Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas.
It’s claimed that unhappy with life in Rome and he is yet to play even once in Serie A this season. But the most promising factor for Wolves is that his price has halved since the summer.
Jose Sa the obvious player to leave Wolves
After the Burnley defeat, Jose Sa was one of the players who confronted Wolves fans amid a stretch of games without appearing for the first-team due to Sam Johnstone’s form.
His first game back was against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, and even that featured an error, as well as conceding four goals in what was a frustrating night at Molineux.

Despite playing just five games this season, he’s managed to concede 15 goals with numerous mistakes, and fans are starting to really struggle when it comes to trusting the Portuguese.
Under a new manager, there’s never been a better time for Jose Sa to turn the tables, but the damage may already have been done at this point.
