I would take Rob Holding for Wolves. He has played in a back three and Wolves are in need of depth.

I thought his busted heel was going to scupper it? (re: Chilwell)
Suarez released on a free?!
What better way for Ole Gunnar Binman to show he's his own man than signing the bloke Siralex Ferguson wanted drummed out of the country.
Maitland-Niles to Wolves, excellent move by them.
Havertz to Chelsea sounds basically done
Thiago Silva sounds likely too. This is turning in a classic lol Chelsea summer, up there with vintage years like 2003 and 1998. 9th place awaits.
Also, I see Barca telling Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal and Umtiti to fuck off. Fascinated to see where Suarez goes (by Christ I'd love to see him as back up for Bobby) and the next two are corpses but a 26 year-old Umtiti must be a very attractive proposition to a shit load of teams. Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, they should all be in for him.
Being crowbarred into every position in that Arsenal side for want of having any competent alternative does not make a player be deemed capable. If he plays central midfield again it'll be in some BLM charity match and he's got fuck all as a wing-back that isn't i) already in every prem club's reserve team and ii) that can't be massively improved by signing some foreigner for a tenth of the price.
Mainland Bikes is a TOP lad.
He's Oxlade-Chamberlain without the injury history. We've treated him really badly imo.
That is some dead video and an even deader appraisal of AOC. This guy does not have anywhere near the pace or dynamism which is problematic given it's basically all AOC has.
I must have missed the bit where Maitland-Niles was a highly sought after youngster being fought over by the nations' top teams.
+1 for the return of Suarez brigade. I've no idea if he'd be any use but it'd be amazing all the same.
Suarez can still do good anywhere he goes. He isn't going to accept a reserved role behind a Brazilian with white teeth, who hasnt scored more than 15 league goals a season.
He's said he'd be happy to be a reserve (and stay at Barca, although £290,000-a-week maybe has something to do with that) but my guess would be he'd take the money they'll have to pay him off and go and get a starting role somewhere - hasn't Ajax been mooted? Or Italy, everyone seems to end up in Italy.
the Miami people seem to think they have a chance but I think that's all pie in the sky "BUT BECKS!" bullshit.
Messi has exercised his clause for immediate contract termination.
This will be fascinating. I'm going to start deep diving for tenuous links between Arteta and Messi.
I really hope everyone puts a bid in, regardless of their budget constraints.
The two most lol possibilities are Juventus or just resigning with Barcelona.
United should offer him whatever they had earmarked for Jadon Sancho over three years.
In all seriousness, Messi and Ronaldo on the same team would be fucking excellent.
I suppose Messi could be a decent backup to Greenwood.
Puyol seems to think it is:
Apparently Barcelona have confirmed it by mentioning that said "get out of Barca free" clause expired at some point jajajaja
I've already seen a Messi to Leeds story. Make it happen.
Que?Messi has sent a burofax to Barcelona
"1% chance Messi comes to Inter Miami?!?!" real text i just got. Everyone's in on it now.
In reality he's just going to get the entire Barcelona board to resign, then he can run everything (into the ground) even more than has already been happening. Maybe he dislikes the dinner ladies?
SSN are reporting Messi sent a fax to Barcelona informing them he wants to leave. These man are still using fax.
Is engrained sexism the reason why the Dinner Lady model hasn't taken off at Barcelona?
Read more in the Guardian
Is dinner lady like another form of binman i don't know about ?
Messi has had Barca on his puppet strings for a few years now. No idea how he has managed to get that clause in there. It's been active for a few years now.
They've also told Suarez to do one.
Messi needs to go play with Ronaldo just for the lol of it all at this point.
Not something I like to do but you have to tip your hat to Real Madrid when comparing the Ronaldo sale to this.
Winning the CL and both moving on with minimal fuss or getting smashed 8-2 and a contract dispute.
If he hasn't turned to shit yet, he will very soon.
Messi will be Pirlo with goals for another 3 years
Everyone ignores that he's carried that Barcelona team for 3 years. He's still amazing.
It's whether he can work it out at another club, for me.
Messi and Suarez would be decent to bring on for the last 20 minutes to give Salah and Bobby a rest
This is wild. What I'd give for Leeds or just any prem club to see how he'd stand up to the prem at this ripe age. One challenge from that 8ft West Brom Nigerian to end his career.
City's probably going to spoil this by signing him.
Is Koeman going full Valencia? Reports are that he’s pissed Messi off more by telling him his privileges are over and telling Suarez to do one. It’s almost like he’s going out of his way to piss off the possibly the best player ever(caveat it could be Ronaldo).
I'd like Messi to come to MLS to give the league some exposure but deep down I think I'd really want him to go to Juve.
If he went to City that would suck but I also despise Messi so it's really perfect.
