Agree mate. I think he can do a job. I was just comparing him with players like Carvello who although had great stats in the Championship, didn’t quite look like a top player in my opinion.

To be fair mate Hourihane has similar stats but I don’t expect him to do big things in the top flight. Caraleiro never looked that impressive to me. Saying that he still played 23 games and scored 5 goals last season. Costa I agree looked quality his first season. Never been the same after his injury.
-
You think so? After what I saw of them both in Wolves promotion season I wouldn’t have expected them to make a big impact. Decent squad players but not a big impact.
-
Exactly. On the one hand some fans are saying championship players aren’t good enough. On the other hand they are saying Grealish is worth 60 million and they desperately want to sign Mings and Axel. The only reason to go abroad is value for money.

Nobody’s saying it’s world class. Far from it. It’s just a very difficult league to play in. The pace, intensity and shit refs means you have to work your ass off to succeed. Look at El Ghazi as a good example. He came in to the league thinking he could run the show. He got a rude awakening and has publically admitted how difficult he found it and had to adapt. He is now much more equipped for the Premier League than he would have been had he come straight from Lille.

I think paying way over the odds for a player just because he managed to play in the champions league due to the quality of their own league is very poor business. maybe we should try and sign some Qurabag players. But each to their own.
-
I agree with this. How many of the team would be loan players from Premier League teams?
-
Do you honestly believe we will start the season with a team of experienced premier league players? The only way that would happen is if we went down the route of signing the older players like Austin. Regardless of where our players come from and the amount we spend. I doubt there will be that much Premier League experience. I would argue a player from the championship is much more equipped to deal with the premier league than a player from Europe.
-
He has only played champions league football because he is in a shit league so can qualify on that basis. edit: Over the years a lot of Celtic players have played in the champions league too. Did that increase their value?
-
You mean 20m plus signings from Championship? So do you think we’ve been totally robbed for the signing of Wesley. He is only the 2nd 20m+ player sold from Belgium top league.
-
I’d be suprised if it wasn’t considering the money involved.
-
Whilst I agree 20m is a lot of money for a second tier player. Out of a interest which leagues do you feel a player should have played at before it’s justified to spend 20 million on them? The championship is a lot stronger than the Belgium league so I take it you both disagree with the Wesley signing and feel we’ve spent way too much?

I think quite a few of them are being sold for big money. Similar to how Monaco were dismantled after their semi final season.
-
Steer and Kalinic at the moment..
-
Might depend how one footed they are I guess.
-
Good post but surely most players slide with their stronger foot right?
-
Don’t know why but I think there’s something in the Kongolo link.. Kongolo, Butland and Benrahma I think will happen. The rest b*****ks
-
If having premier league appearances make you proven we don’t need a new left back. I do agree Mings needs to prove himself though.

There’s no way we’re signing Kongolo Kante!
-
I used to buy loads of Brazilians and clean up in Champ manager.
-
The tabloids will be reporting it soon.
-
Signed a new contract. He deserves it.
-
Announce Mings! Oh hang on...
-
Nah it’s just easy to forget there’s a lot of young fans and it’s all about social media these days. Older fans won’t get it. I think If I was a manager I’d ban all my players from using social media. That’s how out of touch I am.
