There was no panic in his transfer. I believe things just fell into place to bring him in earlier than we would have planned to. Paqueta was the target, that fell through when the betting investigation came up leaving an opening in midfield, we had a long standing interest in Nunes from his sporting days, wolves had to make several big money sales to comply with FFP and so we bit the bullet and brought him in before he was sold to another club when we probably would have waited 12 months in an ideal world.
I look at his first season as a free adjustment period for that reason. I see a lot of potential in him, he has attributes few others in the team have. He can play anywhere in midfield for us with peps fine tuning. people forget he came in at the end of the window, he had no pre-season with us at all and we know that with the schedule we don't do much training during the season, it's all just fitness and game preparation.
this pre-season will be the first real chance pep will have to get him on a pitch for a few weeks and drill into him everything he needs to do. I expect a big improvement next season and think he'll play a much bigger role.
