It wouldn't be pre-season without a @CDMirandes squad update. They started last season with 13 players and they're currently a squad of 8 with just under a month to go till the season starts. A club who patiently waits till the end of the window to sign loanees
A double kit launch in Mérida last night 😍 @MacronSports doing it again for us. Very clean and the combination of colours for home and away is great. Simple but stunning! 🙌🏻
Replace Wolves with @Atleti His weakness is his new coach strength so for me a really good signing
A solid signing for Wolves but defensively he will need to improve in the Premier League
