Santi gets his move. He won't be missed.
People are saying Lima should be starting ahead of Tchatchoua, but Lima isn't good enough to be starting games at RB. He's worse than Tchatchoua, and coaches at Wolves moving him forward suggests that people cleverer than me also don't see him as a RB.

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!

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.

It's better than that, Banksy.
Ignore the daft defending as that'll soon stop.
Look at Krejci's celebration when he scored against the Blues. Look at Lopez's celebration. That's a team that is 1) together and 2) is aware of how good it is.
It simply needs Jimenez 100% fit and Trippier at RB.
This isn't the beer talking, because I don't drink.
Once that Wolves team clicks - so long as key players stay fit - most teams in the Championship will be swept aside with ease.
People are going mad, but the reality is Wolves are five games in and key players have either been injured, unavailable, or unfit.
It'll soon be nothing but: "You've seen the Wolves, now f*** off home."

To be honest, I think that when the Wolves team clicks, they'll smash most opponents into oblivion. The team at full strength might not be as strong as the West Ham team, but there is a togetherness at Wolves that doesn't exist at West Ham. Wolves also have one player that West Ham don't.
Imagine...
GK: Sa
RB: Trippier (C)
RCB: Djiga
LCB: Krejci (Best LCB in the Champ)
LB: Bueno
DM: Andre
CM: James
RW: Gomes
AM: Lopez (Best player in the Champ)
LW: Mane
ST: Jimenez
That team is awesome.
Once Trippier is back, the team will cease shipping goals. At times, the football being played is mesmerising. Sadly, the defending is currently comical. Trippier will stop that.
Outside of the first team, Wolves have solid back up options.
Trippier comes back and Wolves will be unstoppable. ? ? ?
