Steve Bull: Wolves need experience in crucial transfer window
It is a big summer for Wolves and experience will be needed in the transfer market.
With Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha departing Wolves, we have to replace them both with talent.
Ait-Nouri was a tricky player and if it's Hugo Bueno that is stepping into his shoes, it will be a tough ask, but he knows what Wolves is about as he's been here before.
He deserves a chance to make his mark, but sometimes you need new players to come in too to give the team a new challenge and the team needs a mixture of experience.
Bueno needs a fight for his shirt and Wolves need that in every position.
I think Wolves fans would like to see some fresh faces coming in to perk them up and give them some excitement before the season starts.
We have some good young players but we are thin on the ground when it comes to experience and that is what we need this summer.
We don't need players that are coming towards the end of their careers, but players that have some experience in the game and a good head on their shoulders.
Jorgen Strand Larsen and Cunha scored 29 Premier League goals between them last season, which is unbelievable.
I know it's a team game, but if it wasn't for those two, we'd have been down because you need goals to win games.
I think Larsen will be firing on all cylinders next season but he will definitely miss Cunha because they worked off each other well.
They knew each other's movement off the ball, so we need someone in to replace Cunha as soon as possible so they can build these relationships and prepare for the first game of the season.
Vitor Pereira has shown that if he gets the players he needs, he can do something with this team.
He also has the fans on board and that will be crucial.
They are the 12th man and when Wolves is rocking it's special. They are getting behind this manager.
I've been here nearly 40 years now and Wolves fans are die hard. They want workers and grafters and they love Pereira to bits because he has that attitude.
Hopefully the fixture list isn't as hard at the start of next season as it was last season, but you have to face everyone anyway and Pereira can do something with this squad with the right tools.
