I know you've all heard this before

Newsflash Pundit, all 20 clubs are not going to be going after the same players. As I said we need wingers. Are we going to be competing against Swansea for wingers when they already have Dyer/Hernandez/Routledge?

If we need a right back are we going to be competing against Newcastle who have Debuchy, or Liverpool who have Johnson?

Stoke are a ''bigger draw'' yet we have finished above them two seasons running, probably 3. We have attracted better players to our club than Stoke despite them spending more. Not sure why you brought them up.

Is there any reason to believe all of a sudden we're going to stop finding good players, other than that Ashworth has been replaced by a man who your limited football knowledge knows little about?

We've attracted Mulumbu, Odemwingie, Olsson, Yacob, McAuley, Foster, Brunt etc the list goes on. So dont worry about us. We'll continue to pluck Premier League players and you will continue to be bitter and envious that your club does not operate as successfully as mine.

We have competed with all the teams in this division for three seasons now, and have probably spent the least of all teams. JP, although he won't go crazy, has stated once the club is established then he will sanction bigger spending. We also already have money in the bank without having to rely on the next sky windfall. Yes Pundit, we won't be able to compete with many clubs with our spending power, but we seem to be cleverer than most with how we do spend what we have.

Lukaku, may, or may not be with us next season, hopefully he will, but if not we will bring someone else in that has already been identified from our excellent extensive scouting network, that is I may add, not reliant on Dan Ashworth!

Oh well, we have an exciting summer ahead with many new faces arriving for yet another season in the Premier League!

Wolves' problem is they're second bottom of the Championship with a clueless owner, chief executive and manager and a desperately poor squad, and they're about to sink in into League One. When Albion are picking up their £50 million and using it well, instead of having to pay off debts (West Ham, Fulham, Newcastle), Wolves will be picking up their parachute payments and won't be back in the Premier League for years. That's assuming they get out of League One and the Championship.
Wolves have to have two good seasons of 46 games just to get back to the PL.
Albion only have to do well over 27-28 games to hold their own.
It's great being lectured to by Wolves fans.

Aries, any truth in the rumours that Wolves new away kit is going to be green?

Megabore analyses Chelsea's striking options - and forgets to mention they bought Demba Ba - from the same Newcastle side who are such a draw for good players.
And yes, Stoke City are a big name draw aren't they. Remind me, Megabore, what's 34 year old injury-prone Michael Owen's record for the Potters this season? That's right - six appearances, one goal. Tony Pulis also bought somebody called Michael Kightly because he thought Kightly had goals in him, and Stoke needed to improve their goal-scoring tally. Well, Kightly's scored 2 goals in 21 appearances, and Stoke have scored 26 goals in 28 games. Only QPR have scored fewer goals. What a draw Stoke are.

I've also heard they're going to rename themselves the Dog and Duck and enter a pub league, officially known as League One.

Was it something I said?

Rosenberg - 14 appearances, 0 goals. Maybe you should look at the 34 year old injury-prone Michael Owen?

Your point about Owen was that Stoke City are a "bigger draw name, attract bigger name players eg Owen."
My point about Owen is that he has proved almost totally useless for Stoke and extremely bad value for money. What good is six appearances and one goal and the rest of the time on the subs' bench or the treatment table?

What good is paying the wages of a 31 year old striker who never starts and when he makes 14 appearances never scores?

This from a club who you tell us never signs the wrong players.

My point about Rosenberg exactly.

But show me where we said we never sign the wrong players. We've never said that.
Two players we shouldn't have signed were Luke Moore and Borja Valero. Rosenberg's a third. We lost £2m on Moore and broke even on Valero.

Curtis Davies was a good buy, he just got ideas above his station and decided he was too good to play for us in the Championship. He now plays for Birmingham City in the Championship. We made £7m on him.
