Wolves have FFP issues and not many assets to sell.I doubt wolves will sell Gomes at 30 million, Bournemouth want 50m for Solanke, I hope we stay paway.
Who is world class?If you think any of them are world class you have low standards
all just a level below if world class means making a world squad...maybe.If you think any of them are world class you have low standards

I do love a Championship starlet
From what I read they sold Nunes but it came to late for their 2022-23 accounts< Im not sure that selling Gomes would make any difference, if they are going to get punished any way.Wolves have FFP issues and not many assets to sell.
Gomes might be the least critical to their system that they will get bids for?
I know the margins are fine at the top, but who do you think is world class in the PL?If you think any of them are world class you have low standards
Obviously they aren’t but what’s a world class midfielder who is going to sign for us? Like it or not we have to make them, we won’t pay to sign them.
Guess I leaned into potential too much?
Maddison - you’ll be hard pressed to find a better 10/8 than he. His goals/assist output is right up there with KDB and that’s also playing on some really poor Leicester City teams.
Bentancur - had 5 goals 2 assists in 18 league matches next to PEH in negative Conte ball. Expecting big things under Ange.
Biss - great start and been in a funk since Luton. Despite that, still has some of the best holding mid stats in the league.
Not sure who you’re aiming for ? Jude Bellingham? £100 mill man Declan Rice ?
We had a midfield with Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele, and peak Dele Alli in it just 6 years ago. We don’t have that quality today.

We had Bale and Modric 10 years ago. We must aspire to that level and beyond again.
This project has the potential to really become special but we must not settle for scraps or very good. We need all timers. That’s all I will say. We need to raise our standards, all of us. The world class midfield centerpiece is what will take us to the next level. The trophy lifting level.
They were all better than their equivalent players at Spurs currently.Strange list of players mate. Not one of those players could be considered world class until they arrived or left Spurs.

We had loads of animals, Cats, Dogs, Horses, Ducks, Geese, Cows, Sheep, Goats, Pigs growing up.
Goats were 100% the stupidestGOAT
Eriksen was not better than Maddison.They were all better than their equivalent players at Spurs currently.
Dembele especially was the definition of world class for me. Regardless of what acclaim he got.
Eriksen/Son/Dele/Kane was better than Son/Maddison/Richarlison/Deki though.
Yeah ....I think this is just...true.
