 With only a few hours remaining until the Transfer Window for Premiership Clubs comes crashing down, Wolves Manager Dave Jones is still expected to sign THREE new players.

 The transfer window was set to close at midnight today, however it was decided that the Transfer Window would be brought in line with the rest of Europe leaving Wolves until 5pm on Monday to complete the signings.

 Dave Jones said in his post-match comments after the Portsmouth match that he hopes to bring in and complete the signings of three players.

 Wolves have been linked with Newcastle Centre half Nikos Dabizas and it has been reported that Jones is in secret talks with the Greek International in a hope a deal can be made by 5pm tomorrow.

 One player who looks certain to come to Wolves as one of the signings is ex-Newcastle Goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek.

 Wolves are expected to sign the player on loan from Brescia for the season as cover for Michael Oakes and Matt Murray.

 There was was intense speculation that Wolves were attempting to sign Jason Roberts from West Brom yesterday, however a move now looks unlikely as Roberts is set to sign for Wigan, or may chose a move to Portsmouth on loan.

 Wolves gave a trial to 30 year old midfielder Olivier Echouafni in pre-season, however the current Rennes Player is still waiting to hear from Wolves.

 Echouafni told Planet Football "They (Wolves) told me that they would give me a response, but I dont have any news at the moment".

 Wolves may also sign Latvian Maris Verpakovskis. The little Latvian International  Striker played in Wolves Pre-Season encounter with Boavista and scored the games second goal.

 Tomorrow is expected to be a busy day, and we will soon know who is coming to sign for us. Once the deadline has passed, Wolves will not be able to sign another player `until January.
