Any players you think will have a good season?
I'll start:

- Pablo Fornals for West Ham
- Ayoze Perez for Leicester
- Sebastian Haller for West Ham
- Arnaut Danjuma for Bournemouth
- Lanzini for West Ham

Cutrone could be good once developed into the Wolves system

Wesley could be a nuisance with his strength and pace

McGinn is going to surpsie people

Ake is going to earn himself a big transfer

I'm interested in watching the Wolves players this season cope with second album syndrome. I think Wolves will struggle this year.

Danjuma - Bournemouth, and Trossard - Brighton were two Belgian League wingers signed for decent fees.

Trossard was one of the best players in the league, winning the title with Genk (who have a great alumni) and has looked good in preseason, but I think Brighton will really struggle this year so can’t see him up to much.

If Danjuma hits the ground running he can add something to a decent attack with Brooks/Fraser/King/Wilson.

Been our best player in pre season. Obviously all attention will be on Grealish from opposition teams so Jota should get a bit of space to work with. Was brilliant at Brentford for a six month period not so long ago. Don't think he made much impact in La Liga.

Interested how Che Adams gets on at Southampton, him and Ings could be interesting front two for them.

Edit: Just realised you probably mean the Wolves one. :lol:

Morgan Gibbs-White.

Think he'll start many more games this year with rotation from europa league.

Man, that West Ham front 4 really should have a decent amount of goals in them.
I bet on them to finish top half. Their CB pairing seemed to gel well, Rice and Haller as their 6 and 9 are athletic and physical and between those 2 there's Anderson out left who's dangerous, and then just need 2 of Fornals, Wilshere, Yarmolenko, Lanzini to have strong seasons, and Pellegrini has been a good manager for attacking midfielders historically.

Issa Diop is going to be an exceptional defender in a year or two.

I’ll be interested to see how James Ward-Prowse does as he’s always been highly rated but never really kicked on. Seemed to be getting starts and consistency at the end of last season though.

Will Hughes quietly had a very good season and could work his way into the England squad.

Nick Pope is one to keep an eye on too as he should be first choice with Heaton gone. Looked very good prior to his injury.

I feel like Haller will really surprise some of us. I can see him join Arsenal in 2-3 years

It’ll be interesting to see how good Longstaff actually is after the hype this summer.
