Yes. But this is about wolves.

8-10

Not going to finish above City,Liverpool,Chelsea,Spurs,United and Arsenal.So top 6 is not going to happen.Might be in the mix for best of the rest,as 7th to 17th with maybe the exception of Newcastle is up for grabs.You ain't in the relegation fight though.

Solid 10th-12th

11th to 13th

10th-14th all basically the same.

Might change it if we make some solid signings.

Top six, no chance, Newcastle, West Ham and Leicester easily on a par with us and probably better.

Think Palace will do well also. Brighton? Not sure but probably on a par with us. Think Everton will surprise as well and not be battling relegation as some seem to think.

Just to put an actual number. 11th with 49 points.

*As things stand, might change it with additions

Cheers Cinci It is a fair point, all predictions can be revised, if new signings come in.

8th-10th

For me #2, even without any new signings.

Mid table. Boring as fuсk but it is what it is.

As it stands if we have the squad we're working with today for the season we're going to struggle to improve on last season. A new striker and an attack minded midfielder and maybe we can think again about 8,7 or snapping at the heels of 6th.

Think there’s an under estimation of how much better a squad we could have compared to last season. Neto, Collins and MGW can make a big difference. Two things need to happen to take us back to the level of 7th and knocking on the door of the top 6 and that’s to retain Neves and bring in a centre forward as good as Jimenez was two years ago.

But to assess league position it’s no good looking at Wolves in isolation we have to look at who else might finish in the top half. West Ham were 7th last season and will do well again. Leicester have a good manager and will be in the top half but Vardy aging doesn’t help them and they could yet lose Tielemans. Brighton, Palace and Everton have all lost their best players of last season in Bissouma, Gallagher and Richarlison.

Improvers could be Newcastle although they haven’t spent the predicted zillions, and Villa keep making decent signings but haven’t yet turned that into a better league position.

With Neves a new centre forward and no new long term injuries I put us definitely good enough to qualify for the Europa Conference League and to compete with West Ham for the Europa League.

Agree with all that Spangles

Just for the record, you are thinking top ten, and up.

Without more signings, I would go for 12th. At best.
With signings I think we could go to 9th.

(3) with the current squad.

Possible (4) if Neves goes just before the window closes

Is Neto a nailed on starter for you guys?

If he's fit, he starts. Same as the other ten.

Pretty much what I said on another thread DJ. It's the squads of the teams we'll be realistically be competing with, that will more than likely determine where we'll finish and I'd put ours above all of them.

Keep payers like Neto and Podence fit and their goal tally will surpass 6 which was the highest anyone got last season. I hope Jimenez gets back to something like his old self, but I have my doubts. It also wouldn't surprise me if Hwang was used more as a CF this season.

As it stands at the moment we have a senior squad of 18, not including Traore and a few others that Bruno doesn't want. Unlimited amount of U21's, including Collins, Mosquera and Air-Nouri.

I can’t see anything other than lower midtable.

We haven’t strengthened anywhere near enough to challenge the teams that finished above us last season while a few of those below us have done enough to catch us.

Now you’ve done it. Wait til the Chuckle Brothers see this!

14th, unless we strengthen with an attacking midfielder (maybe MGW?) or a goal scoring striker. Goals scored will be our Achilles heel again I fear

18th

MGW definitely off this week, if he has any sense. Heard that some of his family members were abused by Wolves fans after the game, which is indicative of the toxicity amongst supporters.

The club is falling apart and the sooner Fosun sell up, the better. Nuno was sold woefully short because Jeff went on a mad ego episode, sanctioning the useless Fabio Silva in opposition to Nuno's plans. That left him short of money for the players HE wanted.

Moutinho rumoured to be out for up to 6 weeks and Hwang could barely walk after the match finished - there was nobody to come on for him when his groin twinged and so he was told to run it off.

Lage couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the travelling support - which has never happened before. Then we have the vastly overrated Traore sulking over a move away from the club. Nobody is going to pay £15m for him.

I feel sorry for Neves. He's worth £40m of anybody's money but has obviously been priced out by Jeff. His career is bombing when it should be blooming.

And so we see a club in free fall and nobody competent enough to rescue it. When Mendes backed off 18 months ago, the writing was very much on the wall.
