During the off-season, a sense of expectation rushed through the veins of fans of twenty-four clubs

Championship season has an exciting feel to it.

any firm predictions, some clear markers have already been laid down. Before the close of the
window it was Juventus who took the lead as the big spenders in Italy, bringing in a number of
players to strengthen the squad, not least of all the Brazilian Diego from Werder Bremen for
£21.
The Wolves are on the hunt at Old Trafford. And I don't mean the ones that got slaughtered by

English and World club champions (it really hurts me to not be able to put European champions).
