Still need a CB, x2 cms, x2 forwards.
Interesting the links with so many midfielders and forwards.
Still think we need pace in the forwards they didn't offer enough yesterday.
R Gomez was arguably the standout sub after Jackson couldn't get anything to stick 2nd half.

Japhet Tanganga, no?

We could buy Tanganga but he won't be able to play for us until next season so why bother.

Under specific FIFA regulations, a player can be registered with a maximum of three clubs in a single season but is only eligible to play in official matches for a maximum of two clubs.

If Tanganga had been of interest we would have already signed him before Sheffield Utd. Personally I thought we should have got him particularly with the fee being an absolute bargain!

Thought fer lopes was quality of the bench yesterday looking to link up the play and drive us forward

Honestly I think just stay up with defence being Toti LCB Agbadou CB Krejci RCB

Then we can sign Japhet Tanganga in summer 2026. Probably around £10~£15 million. I think Sheffield United are going down, I watched Tanganga yesterday, best man on the pitch.
Japhet Tanganga to Wolverhampton Wanderers
£12 million
Sometime next summer
Sheffield Utd relegated
He wants to leave
Done deal!

No way should Toti be near the starting 11.

Why would you want a defender relegated to league 1?
Sounds daft to me.

As Ken points out above Wolves clearly have no interest in Tanganga as he could have been purchased at any time over the summer for peanuts.
Whilst I accept that if he has a blindingly good season Wolves may change their minds but I would imagine that it is unlikely that they will purchase him any time soon for 10x the amount he could have been acquired for this summer.

Madman I don't disagree.
The defence looks v concerning - what has happened to Emmanuel.
Andre and Gomes are struggling and surely need a back up/alternative.
But perhaps the greatest need is a goal scoring 9/10.
Maybe changing to a 3, 4, 1, 2 formation will help as Arias - who is supposed to be carrying the team in his role as Cunha's replacement - looks lost out wide but might be better behind 2 forwards?.

So which centre back do we sign? Krejci~ not good enough
Nobody is good enough at this club
So yes, tell me who we should sign ahead of Japhet Tanganga.?

I can only hope that you are very very wrong as Wolves are paying 20x the fee that would have obtained Tangnaga for Krejci.
If you have read the board over the summer you will see I have also been proposing Tanganga all summer. For the fee, and home grown, he was in my view a "no brainer" but the club clearly disagrees with us both.
Having made that call though it would be a massive embarrassment to then pay 10x+ the fee they could have for the player a few months later so sadly I just can't see it happening!
With respect to your q though finding a cb better than those the club currently has should not be difficult. The pool currently consists of S Bueno - no where near good enough, Doherty - beaten by father time, Yerson, permanently injured, Toti - v v modest and needs hand holding, Krejci yet to play a game in the Prem and Emanuel who has seemingly lost his way!
Far from a satisfactory position!

Personally I would have signed Veiga for around £26m but he has gone to Spain. Yes for weeks he was quoted at £35m but ended up going to Almeria for £26m. However he has a really poor attitude to training. Which may be the reason Wolves avoided it.
I think Disasi (linked with every club) and Lloyd Kelly wouldn't be bad options we need competition for cb and RCB. I have nothing against Krejci think he will develop the next few months and it is a strength having two left footed cbs.
My comment regarding Tanganga was why would we sign a cb that is relegated to league 1? We should be aiming to move higher up the league.
TFIOG really not sure on Emmanuel? Strange how it has dropped off so much hopelly Vitor can get it right with the team during the break.
The midfield is interesting I think both are the target of the opposition press so we need forwards to move and offer outlets for Sa and the defence to play long. Or Arias and Marshall need to come short so the defence can go over the first press by the opposition.
Absolutely we need someone like Yuri Alberto. Hopefully Tolu is a similar player to Aghehowa in that he is strong and a complete forward offering a different solution to what we have. I still think we need pace as that could be an outlet for a long ball out of defence.
In terms of the formation it's not so much a concern for me I think we just need a little bit of time to develop the connections between the different players I'm sure they will come good.
A CB, CM and forward would be ideal though.

Toti and Hwang are liabilities, they just aren't good enough for this league.
How Toti got the armband is beyond me'its unbelievable if I'm honest.
The leadership in that squad must be paper thin if he's the most commanding one there.
I can only think the reason Gomes hasn't taken it is because he's always on the edge of getting sent off due to how he plays the game.

Madman - completely agree re Veiga.
I have been told on here that apparently the fee is low as Chelsea retain significant interest/control in/over the player?

But veiga is at Juventus. Next year Tanganga. Right the future is gold?

But Tanganga isn't ready to play week in week out in the prem similar to Djiga (who has played CL by the way).
Djiga and Tanganga wouldn't be good enough over a season. I have doubts over Mosquera as well.
CB required urgently to provide cover for RCB or CB.
