Remember we had an obligation to sign Forbs...
I’m not sure this is true. For one, 99% of players we sign who aren’t Academy grads of our own will be delighted to join any PL club, it’s not going to be about Wolves specifically. Second, the eliteness of PL quality is discounted too much, too often. There are only ever 40 starting WBs/FBs in the Prem at any given time, and even then, not all 40 of those will be good enough for a level this high.
I find it hard to believe there aren’t a number of WBs in France, Portugal or similar leagues that aren’t significantly better than Bueno and Hoever.
That I can believe, but there are levels between those two and PL quality.
It's when, not if in my view. What we're doing is not sustainable
Didn’t Feyernood play another player ahead of Bueno when he recoveeed from injury? Maybe he’d be a better option.
As I say. There are literally hundreds of players that would instantly improve us in that position who would also be adequate for a lower to middle PL club.
Very easy to do when you are playing in Div 1 or the Championship. Ambition is one thing, we had it once, but then sustaining it with a corrupt league set up is impossible. You only have to look at Newcastle's efforts to break through or what happened to Leicester. Birmingham look like they want to give it a go in the coming season. We shall see, but for them to overtake us, they are going to have to spend the best part of a decade in the Prem. It can be done though, we went past West Brom and several other ex-Prem teams. It's football. It has cycles. No use bleating about it unless, of course, you need something else to moan about on a daily / hourly basis.
