Wolves manager Kenny Jackett has defended the club's decision to sell defender Richard Stearman to Fulham.
Stearman, 28, moved to Fulham on deadline day for a fee believed to be around £2.5m.
The defender had been with team since 2008 and finished as the club's player of the season last season.
Jackett says he has cover in defence and has confidence in the players they have kept.
In the centre-back position they currently have Danny Batth, Dominic Iorfa, Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Kourtney Hause.
During his seven years with Wolves, Stearman made 211 apperances and was key in promotions to the Premier League and Championship.
A decision that has not settled well with the fans
Jackett continued to say he appreciated what Stearman had done but also alluded to that he has to make decisions to take the club forward.
The decision did not go down well with fans, as 82 per cent voted in a poll by the Express and Star that it was a poor call to let the defender leave.
Defender Ebanks-Landell was thankful to Stearman for the advice he had given him during his time with the club and now he is eyeing his place in the Wolves first-team.
He said selling Stearman was 'compliment' to the rest of the team as he is such a highly-regarded player among the Wolves team.
He continued to say he learnt the most off Stearman out of all the defenders at the club.
For Stearman the pull to Fulham was their ambition to make a return to the Premier League. The former Leicester City defender was one of 13 players brought in by the Cottagers.
They have bolstered their squad with Championship experience by bringing in Andy Lonergan, Ben Pringle, Jazz Richards, Tom Cairney, Jamie O'Hara, Andrew Dawber, Sakari Mattila, Tim Ream, Ryan Fredericks, Luke Garbutt, Joe Lewis and James Husband.
