Jesus, that 4-1 win over them seems an awfully long time ago now. They're far from perfect but definitely the benchmark for a promoted side. And in the mean time, what are our scouts doing? Juanfran must be on one hell of a holiday as bugger all has emerged for us since our affiliation with Mr Mendes and friends... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 So less competition for us when we try and sign Abraham in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Sometimes the second season is a lot tougher than the first. Be interested to see where they go from here next year and I think they will get a lot fk clubs poaching their better players like what happened to us.

I said that too, realistically they will be competing with Leicesters and Watfords which might be not good enough for better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted April 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2019 First it was the foreign players wont hack english winter, then it was they would leave the moment they go up, then it was can they handle the step up.

sne Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 They've build a very solid foundation to work from. Of course their better players will move on if a bid comes in from a bigger team, it happens to Man U ffs. And since it was the business idea when Mendes stepped anyway I doubt they'd shocked when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Neves or Jota can look at Wolves then as perfect place to move as well so helps attract players. They also have solid players like Moutinho, Patricio, Doherty, Jimenez etc who arent over the hill but probably past the age of a big club snapping them up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2019 Good against the good teams. Less good against the less good teams. The not insignificant number of people who live near me that have conveniently remembered they’re Wolves supporters in the last year or two seem content anyway.

That's what we'll hopefully get to experience sometime soon making the need for a new or expanded stadium a thing. I imagine Villa have quite a few dormant fans.

But the dormant fans of Sheffield Wednesday, Forest etc don’t live near me*, so they aren’t an annoyance. *unless there are some near me and I’m yet to find that out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Can't believe they were in championship last year and sitting 7th in the Prem this season. Fecking ridicilous.

Czechlad Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm glad that Wolves are doing well. I don't want promoted teams to be happy with just escaping relegation from the premier league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Also in with a great chance of getting to the FA Cup final. They haven't done that since 1960. This could be their best team since those days of Wright, Broadbent, Hancock and Mullen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hope we can follow in their footsteps next season. We have the foundation. As long as we don't pull a Fulham if we go up, we have a solid core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeAVFC Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Hate to say it but they've been a breath of fresh air in the premier league and recruited very well. Think they've got a decent chance of rustling the big boys in the next few years if they continue their upward momentum. Got to admit I'm surprised at well Jimenez has done, struck me as bang average for Mexico and Benfica. Been fantastic for Wolves though this year Edited April 4, 2019 by MikeAVFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
