The new signings are still finding their feet at Wolves, and Dave Edwards is particularly fond of one addition, but he has his concerns.
Vitor Pereira has a job on his hands getting so many new faces at the club to integrate into his side.
Six new signings have arrived at Molineux this summer after heavy personnel losses from last season.

One of the new signings, Fer Lopez, has looked very promising, but former Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards thinks he could have difficulties at the start.
Dave Edwards claims Fer Lopez’s style of play could leave fans frustrated
On the latest episode of The Official Wolves Podcast, Fer Lopez is a hot topic of conversation.
Edwards has been impressed by Lopez’s play, and has gone as far as to urge Pereira to give him a start against Newcastle.
But he acknowledges some teething issues that may arise.
Edwards’ main concern is that Lopez could lose possession frequently to the dismay of Wolves fans, as he tries to make things happen in attack.
He says: “He will give the ball away. He will frustrate fans. Because he’s trying to make things happen.”
The midfielder-turned-pundit sees the value in nurturing the Spaniard’s talent, despite the possibility of some failures along the way.
He’s hopeful, though, as he explains: You just hope it all clicks for him. He’s so inexperienced, he hasn’t played a lot of football, but he’s just got something.”
Fer Lopez looks like the most likely heir to Matheus Cunha
Matheus Cunha’s departure was a big deal at Molineux, given how much the side relied on his creativity and magic to make the difference in games last season.
Jhon Arias was brought into the forward line, and was thought to be the man to step up in the Brazilian’s absence.
Arias has been brilliant defensively and looks fit for the physicality of the Premier League, but he hasn’t shown the potency in attack that many were expecting.
Lopez hasn’t been given the same opportunities ’til now, but when he has played, he has shown a spark that could develop into a vital cog in Pereira’s attack.
Sure, he may frustrate us as he figures it out, but that’s a tradeoff that will be well worth it for Wolves if he can figure things out.
