The January transfer window will be a big opportunity for Wolves and Rob Edwards to finally add some Premier League quality to their squad.
The gap to safety is growing every week, and by the time the window comes around, it may be too late for the Old Gold to save their status in the top flight.
However, there is still every to try, with former Wolves manager Dean Saunders insisting the Wanderers are ‘not dead and buried’.
Ahead of playing Manchester United, Rob Edwards has issued an update on those transfer plans and has shared some details.

Rob Edwards shares update on Wolves’ January plans
The importance of the upcoming transfer window cannot be overstated.
Poor recruitment in the summer has left Wolves in the relegation zone, and the need for quality is evident. The next chance to sign players could be the Old Gold’s last swing at Premier League survival.
Planning for the window has already begun, as Rob Edwards has shared details on a board meeting for January.
Edwards said, “It was good. There is going to be a lot going on between now and January, with certain plans for different scenarios. It was a positive meeting; it was good.
“We were able to give feedback on the group we have and potential targets. That stuff will all be live and evolve as we go throughout the month.” (via BBC Sport).
With the Wanderers already gearing up to improve the squad, keeping hold of their top stars will be just as important.
Joao Gomes has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, and while Red Devils sources insist no contact with Wolves has been made, that could all change next month.
Creative players must be the focus in January
At present, the glaring hole in the Wolves squad is a lack of players who can be decisive – either in scoring goals or creating them.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has struggled this season due to a lack of service, but he has also not been up to scratch himself.

Surely Dwight McNeil has to be up there… 🤔
Wolves have barely created any chances across matches, and their seven goals in 14 games is simply not good enough.
The upcoming window needs to focus on players who impact the final third, or else the Old Gold will have no chance at winning games.
