    We asked you if you were pleased to see Raul Jimenez back in a Wolves shirt and for the most part, you're welcoming the Mexican back with open arms.

    Here is a selection of what you had to say about the signing:

    Nathan: For experience and feel good factor - it's a genius signing! We need to look at bringing some younger players now who can be with the club moving forward long term!

    Rob: It's hard to see this being anything but positive for Wolves. If you need an example of the love for the man from fans look no further than when he got off the bench to warm up for Fulham at our last home game.

    He should get goals in the Championship, which will further cement his well earned place in club history. COYW.

    Stephen: Great idea. Perhaps they can get Steve Bull back as well. What about Derek Dougan?

    Jack: Having Raul back makes going down worth it! He was a crucial player from a period where we felt much prouder of the team and more connected with them. Everyone around Wolves loves him, and it's great that his family feel that too and wanted to come back.

    He's still been scoring in the Premier League so he's a great signing even without the sentiment!

    Jim: Raul is definitely the sort of player we need. He probably won't score as many as in his previous stint but he leads by example. He will help bring others into the game in a way we lacked last season. Plus he is so consistent with penalties.

    We also need some up and coming players. But him and Trippier are a good combination with Andre in midfield that has the start of a really good spine to the team. I do feel we need a good keeper added to the squad.

    That said Wolves have obviously listened to past criticism and are trying to get deals done early. Promotion will be a real challenge but so far they are doing the right things.

    Paul: Raul is a great striker and a great signing for the Championship. Fabio Silva would have been developed by him were it not for Raul's head injury and now Mane can benefit from his expertise.

    Wol: Raul signing is great for fan morale and atmosphere in the ground, but I don't think he is the answer to our ongoing problems within the club. We need to sell some underachievers in the squad and get some new players in with Championship experience.

    Don: There is always a gamble when signing a player in his mid-30s. Will his undoubted skill be sufficient in the Championship to make up for his inevitable lack of pace?

    Simon: The fans love him. He will be a big boost morale wise and still at 35 possesses more football intelligence than we've had in the last two years. His role will be different but nonetheless vital if we are to succeed in the Championship.

    Paul: The relationship between the fans and Fosun has deteriorated steadily over the last three to four years. This signing wasn't just wanted by the fans, it was needed. For me, this goes a long way to rebuilding this relationship (along with the Trippier signing and the beautiful new home kit).

    Robert: Not normally in favour of players returning to clubs but this one is different. Raul has always had a great relationship with us Wolves fans and a clear passion for the club. He was clearly disappointed after his form understandably dropped after his horror injury and a move seemed the right thing at the time.

    This return seemed destined to happen and I'm sure he is as keen as mustard to rekindle some of the form that made him such a fan favourite. Could be an inspirational move that helps Wolves back to the top flight. Sí Señor!

    Si Senor, Raul Jimenez has returned to Wolves.

    The striker signed a two-year deal to return to the Molineux on Tuesday following the conclusion of his contract at Fulham.

    The Mexico international joined Wolves on loan from Benfica in 2018 to help the West Midlands side secure European football for the first time in 39 years before signing permanently for an additional four years at the club.

    Happy to see Jimenez back, Wolves fans?

    Is the return of a club legend just what the side needs after a dismal season in the Premier League?

    What can the Mexican bring to the Championship?
