New to the site; been at the Wolves for 30 years. Know an insider at Athletic close to Utd and Dalot is on the cards. I would imagine 3 signings at least will come in, just maybe not before the season begins, he will most likely opt for AT at right back and Vinagre left back to start. . I expect a centre half, wingback and midfielder, I don't think we'll bring in a striker as keeping our current guys.

Like when we sold Douglas I think we will look back at Doherty and see yet again Nuno and Board were right, they 100% deserve our trust after the last few seasons. When Raul came in, when Neto came in, people were saying 'who? ' and now we have the best 9 in the league!

Few solid sensible signings, Nuno to sign new contract and let's crack on, if anything the biggest challenge will be getting the squad refocused after no pre-season and coming off a long season, to get focused on top 6 challenge again will need work.

Agree with most of what you say. Though I think we have been lucky with Raul's fitness and if he's injured there is no one else who can cover for him. I was surprised we didn't pay the 5m for Oliviera in January I think he would provide decent cover. Knows the league and can hold up play. Plus he's still scoring albeit in Greece obviously. Worth a punt I think.

You know "an insider at Athletic close to Utd"?

Do you realise how hard that is to believe? If you said you know someone at utd. that would've been some way tangible.

Why not give Rafa Mir a chance?

Fair comment Plymouth he's done well at Huesca (a place I've been to though not to be repeated) . Though he's seemed to struggle over here. I'm sure Nuno will know if he can do it.

With you Debbie, confused. For Utd do we read Manchester? Athletic close to them is Oldham? A little clarity for my feeble brain please.

He couldn't get in Forest's team, Plymouth so he'd hardly be a suitable deputy in my opinion or, more importantly, Nuno's.

I see the latest paper thing is Lemar again at 63m for that I'd expect Limahl and the rest of Kadgagoogoo as well!

Damn good question that Nigel, hopefully coming on from the bench for most of next year! Top Goal scorer and named in the team of the tournament in the the last u23 Copa touney, reckon with any luck he could prove a few on here wrong (like Neto and Vinagrere) have about apparent 'futility' in signing players 'for the u23's squad!

FYI- guys I'm pretty sure Dreaming is referring to 'The Athletic' sports Journal? Please correct me is I'm wrong Dreaming? In which case for those that haven't read it before then its an excellent publication (basically a thinking mans 442) that does in depth pieces across the footballing world? I've read a few articles and they did a fantastic piece on Raul and his hometown and the impact his playing for Wolves has had on local Mexican footy (the have genuinely renamed the entire league after him! ) . Am I right Dreams? Cause if so I am fan and recognise that we may have a poster that genuinely has there finger on the pulse here?! Apologies if I have that wrong?

Hi Bullys Boy II; you are correct, I should have clarified. It is Athletic the journalist app and platform which is in fact one of the most growing and reliable sources. They have specific journalists who have attachments to football clubs in their area. I’m currently living in Manchester hence the connection.

My athletic subscription is the best £60 I've spent this year and the reason I get nothing done at work.

60-00 sounds a lot Sean that with the greatest respect doesn't appear to to tell you anything we don't know. Which of course is next to nothing!

The contact I was referring to is the rep for Utd attached from athletic, for example he said about Beek going there a week before announced in press. His words 'Dalot is likely' … Again this is purely based on someone in and around the club on a daily basis so not gospel still.

To be honest, it's still underwhelming, I feel we need someone who has played competitively and should be aiming higher. I really hope to see at least 3 solid names coming in over the next week, else I fear Nuno and board relationship may begin to crack.

I do keep needing to tell myself, we have kept everyone apart from Doherty which based on end of season is a good result! However the bench is weak and god forbid this bloody international duty throws up injuries.

New to me thanks for the clarity. 💡.
