Yeah I should think these will be favourites for sure.

They'll be playing old men's walking football 🙂

Can't see either of them coping with the demands of a Championship season, especially from mid-December onwards. I think Jimenez would be a great signing for Saints on a rotation basis, but that's the thing we do well, rotate.

Hmmm.

Not sure signing guys at the tail end of their career is a solid strategy for the EFL. In theory maybe; in practice, I'm really not convinced.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Five years ago they were different players.

They could easily have the impacts of Walcott or Romeu on their return.

[Pamplemousse]

We'll see how much scar tissue Wolves have. Other than a bit of a resurgence for a month or so, they were utterly shit for the most of the season

I think they probably look at last season with a sense of relief that it wasn't as humiliating as it looked like it could have been.

[CheshireSaint]

Pointless signing I reckon. As Saints proved, it's no good planning solely on getting out of the League 1, unless you plan on coming straight back down again. Signings ideally have to be good enough as is, with potential or a ceiling to better themselves in the Prem. If successful, Trippier and Jimenez will be another year older than now. Player tend to drop off a cliff rather than marginally deteriorate once past their best. We shall see.

Agreed. Jimenez and Arma will be tough to contain 

[AlexLaw76]

Surprised Wolves are not going for a young upstart from the German 2nd Division to lead the line

I also liked the look of Mane. Still only 18 and bags of promise.

Shame we missed out on him.  

[Saint NL]

Not strictly championship, but if they need to sell then I can't imagine any PL teams will be interested.

Trippier I think will do ok in that position, Jimenez will depend on staying fit, probably similar to Ross Stewart

McKenna leaves Ipswich. (Not technically Championship)

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Wow, shame he couldn't do that during the season just gone.

Imagine leaving a team that was top of the Championship for a team destined to get relegated from the Premier League, get relegated with one of the worst efforts to stay up and then get sacked before the following season starts having agreed a deal to bring back their former star striker.

Wolves could be just as funny as West Ham this season. 🤣

After signing Jimenez and Trippier, and then having Edwards on to talk about them both. Trippier even praised Edwards. 😂😂

Can only be a good thing for us as Edwards knows the Championship well and has had success

Would be equally as funny to see that fraud Fabrizio called out on more bullshit like he was a week ago

Doubt this is true.

Also, Edwards still lives rent free in Boro fans’ heads. He’s branded “the rat” They just can’t let anything go.  He had barely half a season with them. 

[CB Fry]

Bizarre. Surely (like Adam Armstrong) Rob Edwards was hired for this season, not last? 

If it creates chaos at a clear promotion rival then hopefully good for us.

[trousers]

Confirmed....

 

[Badger]

Wolves trying to recreate the Nuno position of having a Portuguese manager with the Portuguese agent link (assuming he’s still involved). 
 

Yet they allowed Edwards to start assembling a squad with more domestic players, Armstrong and Trippier 

[hypochondriac]

Totally bizarre and I bet Rob edwards is regretting leaving boro. Personally if we have to sack Tonda I'd consider him here.

[Saint NL]

I'm very very happy that Boro didn't get promoted, but it would have been very funny if they had after Edwards sacking
