I always thought he was a good appointment for them. 36 minutes ago, The Bear said: As someone already pointed out, they signed plenty of names last summer too. It can't be stated enough that it all depends on the manager. Wolves signed 12 players last summer but it was the manager who instilled the formation, organisation and style of play. Everything comes from him. Plenty of teams with top players underachieve when the manager isn't right (Moyes at Man Utd , Liverpool under Hodgson, etc). Pellegrini might just be the man to get it right, I like him as a manager. I think the battle in the top 10 is going to be good this year. Leicester, Wolves, Everton, WHU all wanting to push for Europe. Not meaning to sound disrespectful, I just can't see Burnley up there again.

Europa League football and a threadbare squad will make it very difficult for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 15 July 2018 Share Posted 15 July 2018 West Ham's business looks pretty good to me. Think Anderson may turn out to be slightly disappointing for the money but I rate pretty much all of their other deals. Wonder if they'll go all out for a striker. They've also got a more than competent manager there who will likely get them meshed together quicker than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 15 July 2018 Share Posted 15 July 2018 We might see the rescued Thailand cave boys at the KP next year. Apparently, Vichai and Top are going to fly them over for a Premier League game. It was in The Sun so it must be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax payers fund the policing and everything else. Club spends millions on players. What a complete and utter disgrace.' They may seem a big club, honest club on the outside - but sure they have critics from general football fans, who are right, who know they operate controversially and am surprised that they haven't been investigated in way by the FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 16 July 2018 Share Posted 16 July 2018 I think Fulham and Wolves will do well this season, both doing very well in the transfer market and already had players whom I think can cut it at this level. Feel slightly nervous when promoted teams come up and look strong when there's such a small gap from top 10 down to relegation, we've lost our best player as well. Just hope we don't get caught up in all the dross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a strong feeling he'll surprise a few imo. Edited 16 July 2018 by Wymeswold fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest we did better than wolves in the championship when we got promoted so to want European football when you first get promoted is pure arrogance, they should just be trying to stay up regardless of who they sign. Then if they stay up the first season.. then the next season they can try win the league Edited 16 July 2018 by les-tah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go from that to the level Mahrez was is massive and cannot be underestimated. The chances are that won't happen which means we need to plug the gap in what Mahrez gave us in creativity. That's why I'm being harsh on Albrighton, if he's on one side and Gray on the other it'll be horrifying. One of them can probably start for us but we must have someone much much better.

I'm hoping Gray will be more effective if played on the right- he just doesn't seem to 'get' playing on the left at all. He's always making the wrong runs and his positioning is all over the place. Hopefully if you stick him on the right, he will drift wide rather than infield and into crowds of players. He's got pace and plenty of talent, but if there's no footballing intelligence there he will struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
