It doesn't matter where you come from. All of them are quality premier league players and outside of Brooks have all been there for 3+ seasons. With that core they should be able to improve it year on year and shoot up the table. They should be doing similar to Wolves, instead they have gotten worse season on season because Howe has been a complete disaster in the transfer market for the majority of his big money signings. Their defence and keeper situation are still dreadful outside of Ake, their options in central midfield aren't very good either.Those core players you mentioned , Ake fair enough , however...
Wilson - 3 million from Coventry City.
Brooks - signed from Sheffield Utd , was on loan at non league Halifax town the previous season.
Fraser - 400k signing from the sheep.
King - Free Transfer from Blackburn.
its hardly a core of experienced pros who you would expect to compete at the top end of the premier league.
