So I think that's five Portuguese players and an entire Portuguese coaching staff. It's exciting and on the basis of You-Tube videos we have acquired some seriously classy players. But now now let's get some balance as well. This is both a really risky strategy (what happens if Nuno fails or is lured elsewhere?) and one that may see players passing through on their way to better places.
The team needs a heart as well as flair and a I'd disappointed if we lose players that have a connection with the town and take pride in wearing a Wolves shirt - I put Danny Baath and Dave Edwards at the top of that list.
We look to have spent impressively, now lets see that integrated in a team that has some durability, identity and passion and will turn up on a wet winter's night in Barnsley..

Of course it is ridiculous isn't it DJ
Can't have both attributes can they? I wonder what it was that got the very best to the top though, their ability on the ball or the fact they could run all day?
No need to answer that as the answer is obvious and one you have answered in the past, the better teams control the ball better and invariably show better possession because they have the better players.

Exactly. You need both.

You certainly need a bit of both overall but if you were to compare say Dave Edwards and Xavi(yes I am laughing saying that) and consider they both have the same work rate then what is the difference?
It is the technique and vision that is why Xavi is a great and Edwards has spent the last ten years at the 35th best club in England.

I'm going against the grain slightly but I'm happy for a lazy/percieved lazy match winner

With you Tino if push came to shove.
Interesting dj mentioned Afobe and Fletcher as they are the two highest scoring wolves to play in the premier league after leaving us for quite some time I believe, possibly since Robbie keane though I may be missing somebody.

Thanks OneJohnny, you've just written the article I have been meaning to write for a month. Couldn't have put it better myself.
Totally agree. Let's hope we can learn to love some of these players, and let's hope thaey can bring us some success.

Should add that we have to have six 'home growns' in a matchday squad so it won't ever be a completely foreign affair.
