Four new faces but Nuno is the biggest signing
DECKED out in gold and black, Molineux looks magnificent at any time of year.
It should be packed to the rafters, full of expectant Wolves fans ready for another Premier League adventure.
But it sits sadly empty like every other top-flight ground amid this crisis.
Wolves supportersers will have to watch from m home for now as the club enters what feels like a different period.
Big players are gone, ambitious newcomers are in.
Yet keeping the main man was their biggest signing of all this summer.
Wolves boss Nuno’s three-year contract, taking him up to 2023, was on page 18 of the programme for last night’s match against Manchester City.
But it was the deal which deserved the greatest fanfare because the job Nuno has done since 2017 has been nothing short of remarkable. Taking a sleeping giant from the Championship into Europe, guiding them into the latter stages of the Europa League and finishing seventh in successive seasons in the Premier League.
They have just sold Matt Doherty to Tottenham and Diogo Jota to Liverpool – two big-name departures – and yet yyou feel Wolves are ready to go again.
They broke their ttransfer record to sign teenager Fabio Silva for £35million from Poporto and have also broughtbroug in Marcal (left) and Vitinha, while Dutch youngster Ki-jana Hoever became their fourth signing of the summer.
It is clearly a gamble – but Nuno (above celebrating the Wolves goal) has got it spot on up to now, building one of the most entertaining teams in the Premier League.
And they are determined to push on again. Under Nuno, anything is possible.
