Griezmann just gone to barca, the market will move once Neymar/Pogba go


Do Barca play in the prmier league now?

You're saying the market will move now. As in, it hasn't yet. Interesting. There hasn't been much activity at all.


course not but clubs tend to stay tight until the big moves are made.... boosts their prices, hence spurs just outbidding arsenal for saliba

Seem to remember Fulham spent something like £120m on "improving" their Championship team.

That worked well!!

These promoted teams that splash the cash always do [oops]. They bring in some mercenaries and it destroys the team chemistry that got them promoted. Happened to QPR a while back too.

What they should really be doing is buying one or two quality/PL proven players to compliment the team that got them into the league in the first place. It would allow them to strength their weakest areas while maintain the team spirit

hmmm... clubs staying tight... so maybe that's why our own transfer activities are slow as well? plus other factors like copa and African cup...plus the windows open for less than 2 weeks...

Wolves spending 80m last season served them well though, so it's more about spending rightly. The teams promoted hardly have squads strong enough to compete and they have to step up quickly or will go down.

Wolves had a supply of Portuguese players from a Portuguese agent and they had a Portuguese manager. A lot of these players had experience playing together in Championship together. Loan deals became permanent and there was a great deal of continuity.

We all said on here they would be the surprise team and so it came to pass. The surprise really would have been if they had struggled.

Our first team would be difficult to improve.

When everyone is fit who drops out? Buying top class players and telling them they will make the bench isn't gonna happen. We need players who can improve the bench or replace a first teamer when they get injured.

Our team was poor in the domestic cups last year but with players like

Van den Berg
Adam Lewis
Brewster
Wilson
Kent
Woodburn

All eager to prove themselves we should be ok and it won't disturb the balance of the squad.

I'll be ok if we don't spend anything

I think it would be a major risk if ever Mane and/or Firmino are unfit. City had the better squad and have further improved, so the gap will only widen.
