Wolves made a controversial decision to sell Barry Douglas to Leeds United in the summer.

Fans of the club were not happy at all with the move, while Leeds supporters felt they had a baragin.

Recent injuries have prevented Douglas from hitting his stride at Leeds, who are yet to see the best of him.

Wolves’ decision to replace him with Spanish defender Jonny Otto has looked inspired.

Jonny had an unenviable task when he signed.

He was replacing a fan favourite, and any replacement would have been questioned.

Jonny was asked to play in a new league, after spending his entire career in Spain with Celta Vigo.

Wolves announce the Permanent signing of Jonny Castro Otto at the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground on January 31, 2019 in Wolverhampton, England.

He left Celta to sign with Atletico Madrid in the summer, moving to Wolves on loan.

Wolves paid £15 million at the end of last month to make Jonny’s move permanent, the Express and Star reported, with Atletico making a profit in the process.

The Spaniard has been outstanding all season, and Wolves fans are no longer regretting Douglas’ departure.

Douglas’ departure looked like a case of Wolves getting a big decision wrong.

It was a risk, but Jonny’s form and his signing on a permanent deal, shows they got it right.
