Hi all
Unpopular opinion but I think we will recruit well this year and retain more of the players who currently think will leave (some of them won't have options to leave they think).
New GK (Freddie Woodman Liverpool 3rd choice). Build it around a young keeper like Burnley did with Trafford.
Trippier (C).
Convince Santi to stay.
Toti will be great in champ.
Wolfe will stay.
Tommy Doyle - champ experience and forward passes.
New combatative athletic CDM (maybe loan from prem).
Rodrigo - RM.
Mane - LM (inverted like MGW at Forest role).
Armstrong.
off Raul Jimenez (that's the signing that galvenises fans & owners) and whatever wages cost will get back in shirt sales / season ticket renewals.
Keep a blend of experience and youth so squad has options (DOC as homegrown, JRB, Lima but as a RM option not fullback, Bouba, Enzo Gonzalez, Sasa, Edozie,
Sign
Experienced CB on way down - Adam Webster (leader).
Young Fullback.
Experienced CM as insurance policy.
New exciting raw wide player who beats players someone like Chiqinho who we never give a chance to.
Experienced No 2 GK to step in if young GK dips in form.

Can't see Boubacar Traore or Tommy Doyle being at Wolves next season. Better to cash in asap while their resale value is relatively high. Wolves need an older, more savvy player in the middle of the park, who can possibly step up to the Premier League.

Who do you suggest?

I wish I knew. I do know that Wolves need players in the middle of the park who are not just defensive midfielders. They need players who can drive the team forward. They also need to be quality players who can step up to the Premier League. Boubacar Traore and Tommy Doyle are nowhere near good enough.

Agree, Robert. A couple of strong players, with one being a good leader. Always an ideal position to captain the team.

I agree, Robert. But this has been lacking since Neves and Mouthino went. It is a big hole and difficult to fill.
