Surely we have some heart, we can’t take Wolfe from Wolves.

We need another option at RB, as we do at LB. Hopefully, Garcia can come back and kick-on, I really liked him before his injury.

We need 3 first-team ready left-backs?

I could see Wolfe at 23 being considered as Digne's replacement. However how good is he in the Prem and why would we want him in Jan with a limited spend and more important areas to address?

But I wouldn't rule him out just because he is at the Wolves at the moment. We saw ourselves 10 years ago that young Europeans dropped into a team who had given up across the board from owners down, is not the best time to judge them.

Maybe trade out Malen and replace him with a more genuine challenger for Watkins?

We will need to replace Digne pretty soon so maybe go for him in the summer, to keep the Wolfe from the door.

Ok, ok, its early and I'm hungover.

Another option at RB like we have options at LB, just to clear that up. But you may be on to something, a bid for Cucurella in Jan? Ahem.

He's not exactly on squad player wages. He is a useful option to have but poor leading the line by himself.

Yup. although Malens had a very effective season, I'd reckon his wage to minutes on pitch ratio will count against him whenever we feel a financial squeeze.

Malen’s goals per ratio though have been priceless, we’d be mad to replace him. He’s a brilliant alternative option or great when up alongside someone. Surely now we’re up with the big boys, we want to keep different options but look for an upgrade on Ollie’s role?
