    Every time three teams come up to the Premier League, they tend to bring along a few emerging players who have came out of nowhere to be top quality players. Then these quality players are often poached by other EPL clubs, especially if the team in question is relegated again.

    Some good examples of last season are:

    Adam
    Carroll
    Enrique
    Barton

    Vaughan was also poached, but I wouldn't call him a 'top quality' player.

    So, out of what we've seen this season from the three newly promoted teams, are any players standing out who look like they're going to be snapped up, especially if their current team goes back down?

    Good question, I haven't watched enough of them to be able to say to be honest but I'd be interested to see responses from others

    Wouldn't say Enrique & Barton came out of nowhere.

    Sinclair?

    Can't say I've examined the newly promoted teams much so far.

    Scott Sinclair & Adel Taarabt are the only two that spring to mind, although neither have came out of nowhere

    From what I've seen/heard; Taraabt/Faurlin/Sinclair/Dyer. Haven't heard much about any promising Norwich players though.

    Pilkington to an extent?
    If it's out of nowhere then it'll mostly be Norwich players i'd expect

    Sinclair and Dyer spring to mind. QPR have bought quality like SWP and Barton as well but I get the impression you mean players from the Championship.

    Williams has looked good. I remember we were linked with him a while back.

    De Vries from Swansea to Wolves, I thought he was really good for Swansea last season.

    Pretty much, yeah.

    I've included a few NUFC names but that's because, before relegation, players like Enrique, Barton and Carroll hadn't done much at all. It took our first season back in the EPL for them to find form and get snapped up

    There's not so much "star quality" this year, more just teams with great spirit and players who give 100%. Between them they've signed well though, Vorm looks a steal for Swansea.

    Sinclair, Faurlin

    Id actually accept someone like Danny graham as good back up, give him chances and I think he'll score and would be better then Ranger, Ameobi or Loverkrands.

    Pilkington I already knew from his Huddersfield days and I always said he would be good in the Premiership. I also know Danny Graham as he used to go out with someone I knew, he is a Toon supporter and when we were linked with him, he couldn't think of anything better. Both decent enough players for 13-17th in Premisership but probably nothing higher.
