So, the great Raul Jimenez is 'same old rubbish' now? FWAW

Love Raul, and Trippier will hopefully be a great signing. Preston, after a positive start to the summer, I was hoping for more.
Time will tell, I guess. ?

I think Raul and Trippier are a very smart bit of business, but signing two 35-year-old players on free transfers doesn't justify selling the family silver for pence on the pound!

I don't think Banksy meant what the club under Nathan Shi is trying to do, Preston, and yes, those signings are certainly crowd pleasers and, hopefully, smart from a football perspective, but against a background of what? Years of decline, with the inevitable consequence, and no evidence, in truth, of any significant change in Fosun's behaviour.
Personally, I like Nathan Shi, and I believe he will genuinely try his best for Wolves, but if he doesn't get the backing, irrespective of who we sign or keep at the club, will he be carrying the can in a year or two?
People were keen to blame Jeff Shi for everything, but I personally believe there were other actors in Shanghai equally culpable.
Let's not forget, once the Esports was up and running, he got promoted, not sacked, not even pushed out sideways somewhere.
I believe the phrase 'same old rubbish' is therefore appropriate when considering the part that Fosun will, but probably won't, play in all of this.

What Fosun are doing is simply asset stripping. Anything with a decent value, they move on and pocket the profit. Every time they do it, they weaken the team. Then sign mostly inadequate replacements. Wolves fans should be used to it now, they are business people, and football is just a hobby for them.

I think Wolves fans, myself included, have to accept that life under Fosun is not going to improve. They'll possibly throw the fans a bone and give us a good season in the Championship, but the Premier League is a step too far for Fosun and Wolves.

So who would you let go or be glad to see the back of?
??????????
Johnstone
Arokadare
Hwang
Armstrong
Hoever
Angel Homes
Tatchouka
Doyle, maybe I've listed someone who's gone already, soz.
Any one else, good riddance too.

All except Doyle and Armstrong. Who would believe Hwang is one of the top paid?

We can't sell Angel Gomes, greyleg, he's not ours to get rid of as he went back after his loan finished - we didn't invoke the option to buy.
