Murphy - still a Premier player
Gibbs - was a decent Premier player
Hegazi - a great defender

None of our players are better than they were! Some of these players were excellent and God knows why Moore couldn’t get this side promoted!!!

None of our players are Premier material now - not one apart from maybe Okay!

I know you didn’t rate Dawson but he was a superb defender. Great for West Ham and one of Wolves best players even now.

I shake my head at the rubbish now compared to that side. We don’t even have a goal scorer now and Gayle and Jay Rod were banging them in for fun!
Sorry but the word “great” doesn’t fit ANY of the players in that squad and it gets used too often these days.

None of them was anything more than an average at best Premier league player.

The last great player we had was Bryan Robson.
