Totally agree. Plus you surround yourself with enough World Class players and someone who can do the basics well enough won't look out of place.
So far on their recruitment I reckon:
- Hendo slight upgrade on Samba if not too scarred by recent experience.
- Williams quite a big come down from Spence who was arguably their main outlet.
- Richards. No better than Lowe and twice the price.
- the centre halves from France/Germany, potentially better than what they have but may take time. Will they get it?
- no replacement for Garner yet
- no replacement for Zinkenargal yet. Won't get MGW now more established clubs are in such as Everton and even Palace. Plus not clear what Wolves want to do.
- Taiewo might be ok but not played a single first team game in England and will do well to give the presence Davis did. Scored 15 in 31 last year but patchy before that.
Spent 60-65m treading water from last season net/net and a big gap in the middle of the park still.
Giving it a bit of a go though. Expected for any team that's been out of it for so long, twice as long as we were.
Just shows how difficult it is. We own our players and we'd need plenty of investment still. You borrow half a team and you borrow well like Forest did and you'll be 100m down just getting to the level that got you up and there is no saying the team that only got you 4th in the Championship is enough to get you 17th in the Premier League.
