Mervmeister 18 Posted July 25, 2017 Signed Diogo Jota on a season long loan from Athletico Madrid with option to buy. Their squad is becoming unreal, no way we can compete. I honestly believe Jota is a future top 10 in the world talent. Seen lots of him and am very jealous :( They now have 5 players who could be playing Champions League football instead of the Championship.Surely favourites for promotion, far better team than Newcastle were last season.

Tired 112 Posted July 25, 2017 Makes a mockery of the sport when you have Champions League quality players opting to spend (at least) a season at what were a middling Championship club, because the club happen to be extremely wealthy.I feel sorry for the Wolves fans that are against their club becoming Mendes'' toy box.

Cantiaci Canary 609 Posted July 25, 2017 Leicester and Huddersfield prove that united teams with commited individuals who know their roles are more potent than hastily assembled groups of show ponies.Until that truth no longer holds water football hasn''t died (and canaries can live in hope).

Mervmeister 18 Posted July 25, 2017 Ryan Bennett won''t be starting. They signed a defender from Porto a few weeks back who is a beast. Bennett will be 3rd/4th choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wed only kept Howie.. 3 Posted July 25, 2017 mmmmm put foie grass, lobster, truffles, caviar, champagne into a blender... serve with lashings of under-motivation and no team spirit...delicious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 78 Posted July 25, 2017 I''m sure all the Wolves fans will be manning the barricades on their promotion. But at least we can celebrate our community club pauper status as we drift down the leagues. What a fiasco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 192 Posted July 25, 2017 And the problem is what? 3 teams get promoted! And do five international players make a championship title winning side! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,621 Posted July 25, 2017 So the nappy crappers have decided that Middlesborough, Wolves and Villa are going up. Let''s see how that goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,059 Posted July 25, 2017 Can''t see a problem, I''d much prefer to be us than them. The history of the Championship is littered with clubs supposedly buying big and then falling flat on their faces - can''t see any particular reason why Wolves will fare any better.

Making Plans 957 Posted July 25, 2017 [quote user="Mervmeister"]They now have 5 players who could be playing Champions League football instead of the Championship. [/quote]I suppose then that one has to wonder why it is that they''re not playing Champions League and have ended up at Wolves in the Championship. It might be money of course but it''s probably because they''re not good enough for Champions League or indeed the lower reaches of the PL or European equivalent.I guess they''ve finally realised their limitations and found their level.

JF 694 Posted July 25, 2017 Obviously doesn''t guarantee success but you can never have too much quality in the squad. Luckily Bennett lowers average somewhat! The Championship is becoming a premier league 2 now where more and more money is being thrown around in the hope of promotion. I wonder how long we will have to wait for a £20 million signing in the championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Masked Raccoon 0 Posted July 25, 2017 If they''re that good for the Champions League or thereabouts, then why aren''t they elsewhere but glorious Wolves....on loan? Get Mummsie to change that nappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted July 25, 2017 They now have 5 players who could be playing Champions League football instead of the Championship.Only one seems to be a regular for his previous club.
