Wolves have reportedly been offered former Barcelona centre back Samuel Umtiti. Recently released by Lille.

Do we need a 7th Cb though, especially one that will want big wages and is usually injured?

if they play krecji in midfield, yeh

Why would they Hangman? Do you also think that Pool wanted to sign Guehi to play in midfield, no you don't cause it would be mental to spend good money on a CB to play in Midfield wouldn't it?! Too funny ?

If better than the current crop obviously yes but is he?
if he has been released by Lille is he good enough?
I'mafraid I have to leave that decision to Vitor and his coaches.
BB I acknowledge that Wolves have 6 CBs in the squad but
Yerson is v injury prone, Doc should be done, S Bueno isn't good enough, Emanuel appears lost, Toti needs help and can't play otherwise and the new boy is new - and apparently, according to some at least, is going to be covering DM as well.
Perhaps the resources which on paper appear adequate are in fact a little thin?
Sadly you can do the same analysis for pretty much the entire squad though as after 5 years of managed dismantling it is now both weak and shallow.
Hence the gloom and doom and "realistic" views re its prospects in the poll on this site.

Absolutely no chance. He played 185mins of football last season whilst getting paid £70k per week.

We've got 6 CBs and Doherty is bottom of the pile and I'd rather see him play.

Besides we're already one man over the overseas allocation, we need to lose a player!

I understand your analyse of said players TFG and don't entirely disagree. However, VP has clearly made a conscious decision to keep all of those listed above (to be honest I'd expected Mosquera or Bueno to be sent out on loan). But the very fact they weren't suggests that he thinks they can bring something. Also with this don't forget that he stated (like virtually EVERY Fosun era manager) that he wanted two players for each position. It would seem that they started at the back and didn't even make it to the midfield mind! ??

Get him in on a pay as you play basis.
If he turns out ok, offer him a 1 year rolling contract

BB - I hear what you are saying and of course you may well be correct. I hope not though as it would certainly make me concerned re his judgement of players given all the evidence over the past season or so that clearly showed the shortcomings in the squad.
However I am not so certain if it was a conscious decision to keep the players he had? Maybe he simply couldn't get the players he wanted in or equally and just as importantly he couldn't get the players out he didn't. {All within the constraints of the market and finances}
Standing still doesn't always mean you are happy where you are just that you can't/didn't move.
ps It appears Molineux has given a pretty clear answer to my original q of if he is good enough!

The only free agent that I think could offer us something is Hakim Ziyech, but that would give us the headache of finding a loan destination for Sasa AND either Santi or Mosquera.

After my meltdown on Monday I do feel like the squad can get through this and stay up.
They have replaced Semedo, RAN, Cunha and Sarabia with Jackson, Wolfe, Arias and Lopez.
They have also kept Gomes, Andre and JSL .
I agree I would have liked a CB, CM and FW to come in but it wasn't to be.
First team
Sa
Agbadou Krejci Toti
Jackson Gomes Andre Bueno
Tolu Arias
JSL

There is plenty of competition in the squad. Can see Doc playing a major role actually. But I think he will push the defence and may be the captain come the end of the season. The defence is more competitive than last season.
Bellegarde and Marshall will raise the stakes in midfield challenging Gomez and Andre.
From losing Silva, Sarabia and Cunha we have got Tolu, Arias and Lopez.
We need to give Vitor time as I think he can keep us in the mix come the end of the season its a marathon not a sprint. Out of darkness cometh light

Madman
I agree with your line up if playing 3 at the back.
If playing 4 at the back I would go
Sa
Jackson agbadou. Krejci wolfe
Andre
Lopez. J gomes arias
Tolu. Larsen

Any thoughts gents?

Nick, I like the idea of 4 at the back which would make the midfield stronger and having 2 up front would help to occupy both opposition cb's.
Agbadou at the back just now is a worry so I would play Doc until he gets his head together otherwise agree with your selections.

jackson, agba, toti, bueno
krejci

No one picks Yerson?

Nick, I completely agree. I worry with a back 3.
I'd love to see the 2 big guys in Tolu ( dodged the surname spelling lol ). and JSL.

When sasa and jsl played together albeit for 15 minutes, they gave west ham huge problems

TFG I like Mosquera and think he's capable of being a TOP player. However, it can't be ignored that he's yet to complete a full three months playing at Pren level without having an horrific injury! Fully fit and injury free I'd pick him most times, I think the problem is that he's still coming back and I suspect the club are (understandibly) scared of risking too much to soon and getting another season long injury. Cause let's be honest one more and it will be pretty career ending for him at Prem level. With that in mind I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him loaned back out abroad as its the only time he's stayed injury free for a full season. Maybe the Prem is just to quick/physical for his body to handle? ?

A few points I think Krejci has been signed to challenge the defence and his distribution is a step up from Doc and Toti.
Doc brings a lot of experience and he would keep them organised.
TFIOG maybe it will be Tolu and JSL with Arias in a no 10 role.
Theres loads more options and less players going through the motions like some were 4 weeks ago Agbadou, Hwang, JSL, even the midfield now Bellegarde and Marshall have practically been assigned that role?
The issue we have had is Andre and Gomes are having to play CM and attacking flair players that Cunha, Neto etc have played recent seasons. Maybe Bellegarde plays next to Andre. With Gomes further forward.
Time for some of the others to build relationships thought the Hwang goal the weekend was class from the Jackson cross.
Maybe r Gomes is the answer as well as a wide forward against certain teams as he has the technical ability.
It's not over and we can't let some fraught feelings over Fosun not back the team.
But Jeff we have our eye on you and Fosun.

We probably won’t be signing Tanganga. I see him going to CPFC. Especially if they appoint Jose mourinho
