Where will you finish in the league and why?
Wolves supporters are buzzing, and it’s been a while since we last witnessed this level of anticipation! Gary has Wolves’ purring nicely, we look like a team that could push on. I am predicting a top-10 finish and a push for a European spot.
Who is the best signing or has he not signed yet and who should it be?
On the whole, the friendlies have unveiled a new side to Wolves, with a higher pressing game and plenty of energy. With new recruits and returning players, the squad now looks much stronger. Yerson Mosquera seems a strong candidate to replace Max Kilman, although we will still need one more in this department.
Who will be the breakout star in your squad?
Portuguese winger Rodrigo Gomes is a savvy acquisition by Matt Hobbs. He shares many traits with Pedro Neto. Rodrigo is quick and skilled, similar to Neto, but perhaps more adaptable and comfortable on either wing. He’s already scored a few goals in pre-season. He is definitely one to watch.
What do you want from your manager this season?
Gary O’Neil seems very happy at Wolves, and his newly extended contract provides the club with essential leadership stability. There has been talk of him for the England job, and rightly so. He has proven himself as a strong leader and smart strategist. Gary has managed the squad with skill, and seems to have rejuvenated many players returning from loan spells, if he continues in this vain then things look bright.
What is your one major concern?
Switching to a back four might make us more defensively exposed, but this doesn’t overly concern me. Wolves have standout players highly regarded by other clubs. Keeping players like Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri is crucial, as any last-minute departures on deadline day could ruin our season’s prospects. Wolves aren’t finished with their transfer dealings, and hopefully, some smart additions to the squad will improve our position compared to last season.
