Ryan Giles

The question is whether we can get someone better. He was a great crosser and excellent at retaining possession but a very rigid winger. Couldn't really beat a man, shoot or defend.

Its a massively important position for us as we don't have a left sided cb so unlike with Smith doesn't get support from behind. He basically had the whole left side to cover front and back. It will be a tough position to fill.

I'd imagine a promoted team would take him in a heartbeat, a few of them play wing backs as well.

If not then I don't think it's crazy to think he'd be back here.

He hasn't proved himself a PL player and which PL clubs would offer more than occasional matches or life in the relegation zone? We should be in with a chance.

For the life of me, I can't understand why we didn't try a single short corner or set piece routine across the two legs of the playoff when that's exactly what broke them down on the last day of the season.

Our aerial presence without Crooks in the team is nil. We actually (unusually) whipped a few decent balls in the box from corners last night but we're too easily defended.

We should sign a specialist set piece coach
 
He won't play for Wolves
He is now 23 yrs old, signed a professional contract with Wolves 5yrs ago, loaned out to 7 clubs during that period, and never kicked a ball for them.

I think he will end up in the Championship again, maybe Leicester City if they go down and lose their top players. or WBA to be closer to home.

Regardless of a dip in form, I would love him back, but unfortunately I don't think he will be loaned out again, and we wont be in a position to stump up the transfer fee (maybe 10-15 mill?).

A real shame, defensively he can be found out at times (but that can be worked on) what cant be coached is what he offered going forward, and the quality he naturally has in his delivery.

I think lower prem or potentially a promoted team will end up snapping him up this summer. Best of luck to the lad if they do.

No problem.

To be fair I did go on to say I have no idea how valuations for players are made nowadays - so its a complete guess, probably why I also included 10m and lots of question marks.

Bit late for cornflakes 👀

transfermarkt values him at just over £6m. Not saying they're always right but certainly a lot closer to what the true fee would be I imagine

15m don't be mad. Wolves would do well to get half that. If a relegated team were interested thy could probably max out his value at around 8 with add ons. But if not then the sides that would be interested would be looking for about 5m with add ons.
