On the day Cristiano Ronaldo decided to run off to Spain rather than face George Elokobi, serious signs are emerging than Wolves are ready to make their first forays into the summer transfer market.
And if by this time next week Wolves' Premier League ranks have been swelled by Scott Dann, Marcus Hahnemann and Nenad Milijas, I'll be a happy Wolves fan.
Criticism of the Wolves hierarchy over their summer transfer inaction is frankly laughable.
What's the rush? And who have we missed out on so far?
It was always going to be mid to late June before any transfer rumours became reality, but it does look as though the moves for Dann, Hahnemann and Milijas are serious ones. You can just sense it.
We should have signed Dann when he was still at Walsall, and that will be a costly error. But it's all relative as Wolves tap into the Premier League millions.
Over 38 games Dann, Richard Stearman and Christophe Berra, with Jody Craddock as back-up, will do me, even if they struggle to handle Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba in six of those matches.
I like what I read about Milijas, but haven't abandoned all hope of David Jones, Karl Henry and David Edwards making an impact.
And Hahnemann would be a shrewd signing, even if I believe that Mick McCarthy will show sufficient and justified confidence in Wayne Hennessey to establish himself in the Premier League.
On Wednesday our Premier League dream will come to life with the publication of the fixture list.
These three potential signings would confirm that Wolves have learned from the painful mistakes of 2003.
And there's still time for us to sign Michael Owen.
