A left back for me is a definite, but I don't think it will happen otherwise Bueno wouldn't be out on loan. I expect the intention is to play Toti there which might work if another centre back comes in. RAN as a wingback with a back 3 is fine, but he isn't a defensive left back. I'd rather play him in a front 3 as Neto's replacement and have someone else behind him.
Chilwell is a good player but his wages and injury record make it unlikely even if a left back was being looked at.
Agree about Dendonker if the deal is right. PL and international experienced player who can play multiple positions and is still living locally.

New poster. Long time reader. I'll admit O'Shea doesn't excite me as the answer to a new defender but if he signs I welcome him and hope to be proven wrong, however why shouldn't we look at relegated players?
Last I checked it was teams who got relegated, not individuals. There are plenty of players with a Premier League relegation on their CV who afterwards went on to win Premier League title medals.
The first 11 looks strong, but we do need some extra depth especially a new centre back and arguably now a natural left back.

The foundations of a good team are there for next season at the moment. I still think the biggest question is wat does the back line look like? Back 3 and wing backs or a back 4? We've seen managers change it before and without the right players for the system still try to stick with it. So where is that instruction coming from? Should we really change from the formation that's working for us at the moment beyond having a reasonable plan b? Does any of that affect who leaves and who comes in?

The signings have helped but changing the coaching team is the biggest positive. GON was taking us down and even with the new additions I think he would have done. The Brentford game was the turning point for me.
The foundations are there for a good season next season. A lot good and bad could happen in the summer. Players may or may not get sold, but let's enjoy the present before despairing over what hasn't happened yet, and remembering how things could have gone if GON wasn't booted before VP came in.

I think it's speculation at the moment. I don't see how Man Utd can afford to buy Cunha. I get that they generate massive revenues, but they need nearly an entire new team and have made big losses. Things could get worse at Old Trafford before they get better.
Hand on heart hypothetically what players do Man Utd have right now who we would actually be happy to see in a Wolves shirt and see as an upgrade on what we already have?
Is Cunha's release fee a definite £62 million regardless, or was it only on relegation?
He probably will leave in pre season, but I'm not sure he'll end up at Man Utd

I think the biggest question is 3 at the back or 4? We've seen in recent seasons an attempt to switch that has been abandoned to stay in the league. If there is a switch to a back 4 new fullbacks is a must as I'm not sure any of our current ones can play there effectively.
There should be room to evolve the squad, but the priority and type of signings will surely depend on the formation that the manager (or owners) want us to play next season.

Cunha lost his place by his own actions. The team has won 3 on the spin in the league. He should have to wait to regain his place either due to a loss of fitness, form or suspension of a player in his position. No player should have the right to walk back in to a winning side, it should be earned.
