I'm still wondering if our lack of bids for wingers suggests a 3 at the back with wing backs is a possibility more often next season.

Walker-Peters and Reinaldo would make a lot of sense in that scenario. Reinaldo being able to play left of a 3. Same option on the right to play Hume right of a 3. The flexibility of Sadiki and Diarra would also be useful. There would be the option of playing 2 up front or 2 attacking midfielders supporting a lone striker.

There's a lot of flexibility in it imo. We need to be targeting a couple of centre backs though.
The wingers are coming.
 
It is indeed at least surprising that so few of our links in the press have been wingers.

That said we’ve actually had very few new weeks this week. After 6 on Sunday alone there’s only been one or two since

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see us playing in a proper 4-3-3, with 3 "forwards" rather than wingers like we did in the championship - a bit like how Liverpool line up with maybe Mundle closer to the other 2 rather than playing wide
 
We had talks with Lauriente but not sure where that’s gone.

Leeds fans seem to think he was in Leeds today

Yeah, but even he seems like someone who could play as a left 10 or even as the striker on occasions. He seems to have the kind of flexibility to play multiple positions that we are targeting.

It wouldn't surprise me at all, if ONien started the first game!
He’s been part of an excellent defensive pairing with both Dan and Mepham. He deserves a chance.
I think it’s great how far he’s come, from a tentative start after rushing up here from Wycombe he’s now a Premier League footballer and I couldn’t be happier for him.
My thoughts are he will feature a lot but mostly from the bench.
How must he feel being a part of a squad with these new quality guys coming in.
Many will think he’s not good enough but he’s proved them all wrong by meeting all the challenges so far.
As well as that he’s such a great bloke and must be wonderful to have around for the morale of the squad (and any dogs)

That's pretty much the current squad once the 2 seemingly done deals are announced. I've left off the returning loanees and players who didn't play a significant role last season (apart from Huggins).

Can see we need CBs and wingers.

How injured is Hjelde? This is the first I’ve heard of it

Just had Achilles surgery, and is having his other done in a couple of weeks.

Don’t think he’s injured himself or anything, more something that was planned for the end of the season sort of thing for an ongoing problem.

when you consider Browne and Harrison Jones were on the bench for the playoff final, and most of us wouldn’t expect either of them to play in the premier league, you could argue that we actually need two more midfielders. As we’ve lost two, plus them two to be replaced, equals 4 new ones

I wouldn't be surprised if Browne is kept around. I don't think he was very good last season but i'm not sure a Championship club will pay a fee for him, plus he seems well liked and offers a bit of versatility.

Jones I hope gets a good loan.
