    A lot of the squad are Portuguese internationals who have played for Porto, Sporting and Benfica as well.

    Not really many have not had experience of Premier League - higher level than most of them have played at. Portuguese league on par with Premier League?

    What use is 25 games? Its hardly experience of the league. Either they've played 25 and aren't good enough or they're young and promising and unlikely to be for sale.
    A full season's experience? Yes. It would be great. However, a good seasoned Championship pro is highly likely to want much better wages than we're offering so I'd say the chances are extremely remote.

    Just remind me what happened when we signed a squad full of players with no Championship experience.

    Don't be facetious just because you made an invalid point.

    Oh go on then i'll do it.

    Jonny Otto: No premier league experience
    Adama Traore: Below 25 game threshold
    Rui Patricio: No Premier league experience
    Diego Jota: No premier league experience
    Willy Boly: No premier league experience
    Benik Afobe: Comfortably above 25 game threshold
    Moutinho: No premier league experience
    Leo Bonatini: No premier league experience
    Raul Jimenez: No Premier league experience
    Dendoncker: No premier league experience
    Vinagre: No premier league experience

    So out of 11 transfers there is only two that had any experience in that league and only 1 of those has played over 25 games there.

    We'll be reyt if we're classing 1 as loads.

    Wasn't invalid - they haven't played in the premiership which is a big step up especially after a year in the championship. If they were good enough to play for those clubs they'd still be there and not at Wolves

    We did quite well up until Christmas - was it 7th or 8th?

    If you keep stirring the bee hive you’ll either end up with honey on the end of your stick or badly stung, like the gloriously famous “down to 8th “ thread.
    Personally I think you’re down for another stinging but we all know you don’t care really, it’s the winding up that gets you off.
    Also you may want to consider substantiating your own argument from time to time because well, y’know, it makes you look a tad less hypocritical to all your fans.
    Me included.

    Does Danish Superliga experience count?

    Some yes. But I also see some correlation between the current lot and the team that got promoted the year before. Noticeable difference this time is we appear to be extending some our key players' contracts.

    No we won’t. It’s why we will probably get relegated.
