The next best team to the top 6 last year and their record against the top 6 was pretty good. All they added last summer as regular 11 players was Wily Boly signed full time (28 now so that experienced CB needed), Joao Moutinho as a CM (33 years old) and then Raul Jimenez who is mid 20s but already been at Atletico Madrid and Benfica. Seen a few posters on here saying if Wolves can finish 7th we shouldn't be too far away from that (I haven't as I'd be more than happy with 14th). If people believe we can finish top half we need to step up in transfer targets I think. You contradict your own point. Wolves didn’t build a powerhouse team last summer, as you yourself then confirm they hardly added. Wolves build a side in the Championship too good for that league and then added to it as opposed to our ridiculous one team to go up nonsense. We had/have way more to do this summer than they had to do last summer. I don’t think the two scenario’s are in any way comparable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see 15m/18m rising to 20m/23m ish being reasonable. If it were to be 25 would have to be 15/18 rising to 25 for me. I agree anything over 25 as a final price with all add ons would be tough to swallow. How about £15m straight away for him and a further £5m when he has played 100 games for us or played for England 5 times? Possibly add a percentage of any fee that we later receive for him of over £15m or £20m, up to a maximum of another £5m? That would be £15m, possibly rising to £25m. That seems more than fair to me (if a little complicated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had/have way more to do this summer than they had to do last summer. I don’t think the two scenario’s are in any way comparable. I do think in a way there are comparable as Wolves already had good midfielders in Diogo Jota and Neves so they quickly identified that getting an experienced DM with champions league experience would really push that part of the pitch up a notch. That is our strongest area of the pitch, McGinn and Grealish are comfortable mid table prem players imo so I'd like us to get in top class DM as we'd be very strong in that area. Despite his good reviews I'm not convinced on Kalvin Phillips. For how good Wolves looked in the championship they didn't really have that good out and out strikers, Leo Bonatini led their line for much of the season and he didn't score a goal past December. Quickly frozen out and loaned out last season. Cavalero and Helder Costa squad players. Could've just relied on those to be effective in premier league but didn't. We certainly need another good striker in. Too much pressure on Wesley otherwise and then it's Kodj and Hogan as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We definately need two first choice CBs in. No question about it. Christ Deano really has the work cut out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen enough of Hause to see he has something we can develop and he's a good squad option, but he isn't Premier League starter material. Not even close. I am sure you will be pleased to be proved totally wrong. He will prove to be a fine aquisition this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve added 5 players and spent £40m and I’m still not sure our side today would be as good as theirs on the day they went up. We may have a great few weeks and really improve but I don’t think anyone holds the expectation of a powerhouse side to match Wolves of last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s been more than fine whenever he’s been called upon, he’s young and will improve over time. He can play at left back and centre back, he’s great in the air I think, I think £3m for him is shrewd business for an England u21 international Lol. Love it.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 £20m. Christ. Still at least we get some continuity and if we stay up it’s worth every penny. Still question marks over him for me at this level but some progress atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
