When Wolves signed this lad, I was impressed beyond belief. How a Championship side could land a genuine world class youngster. Yes even by Adryan standards, this lad is a legit future star.
What does this say about the division? Is it getting stronger and more impressive globally? Or have Wolves just hit the sweet spot?
Either way, they made a statement this year regarding technical and high quality football. Rad claims he will follow suit in the summer if I'm correct, but I cannot see him paying the prices Wolves paid, for the clear quality needed to do the business in this league.
Remember, Neves and Jota are newbies in this league, young foreign shiny players, kicking asses on cold week nights.
Quality beats endeavour every time, I hope Penfold watched that game tonight because the gulf in class in this league, looks frightening.

£16m on a 5 year deal, not even us Wolves fans can believe what has happened. Yes there is the agent link but in theory any club could develop that link. For years Man Utd loaned players to Antwerp maybe now Champ clubs could realise that they could loan players themselves from stronger teams/leagues.
Keep in mind that last season asisde from the late miracle in March where we won 5 or 6 on the bounce we were genuine relegation contenders.

It just goes to show how 2 or 3 quality additions can change the game.

there is a great saying:
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
Many of the teams work hard, know what they’re doing AND have quality players.
At the moment we’re missing the quality, but also feels like we don’t know what we’re meant to be working at. Quality isn’t enough for us in just players we need it in management too.

That starts from the very top. We need quality in the boardroom first, then the rest follows...usually

Btw more the OP than the previous although that certainly applies.

Wolves were by far the best team we've played this season. Can see them having a strong Premier league season and a top 10 finish. They're better than Burnley, Bournemouth and Brighton who have had good seasons

Question is, can they keep hold of such talent?

Wolves have to be commended for the what they have achieved and their almost certain reward for doing so this season.
Quality and application has just outshone the rest of us.

It’s not going away though:
