Wonder why he didn't make the latest Portugal Euros squad?

Glad he didnt , maybe they were giving him time to settle in england or he had a bad season last year ?

He has now been dropped from the squad entirely after being benched in key games in the last round by Martinez.

He will return to the Portugal squad the moment he settles in with us. He has had a hard month or so.

Martinez… Christ on a bike. How the hell did he get that gig. Baffling.

Martinez does not pick players based on form. He received a lot of criticism for his squad selection due to Felix and Cancelo being called up despite not playing any games.

He seems to be opting for Vitinha at the moment but I feel once Nunes is settled at City he will he Called once more.

He will be sacked after the Euros. He was such a shocking appointment.

Fonseca, Jardim, Jorge Jesus were all much better appointments.

Hope to see Jose there one day as well. He seems past it for club football but I think he is perfect for cup competitions as he has shown in the conference league and Europa league.

He couldn't have been worse than Paulinha was tonight.

Really good shorts on attributes to expect from Nunes. Very excited to see him play hopefully debut this weekend!

Nunes not Nunez

Great video on Nunes - didn’t know he had this much potential. Deep dive into his attributes. Excited for his debut!

Pep’s comments today about playing Nunes as fullback says it all.

First I've seen of him play ; showing my age, again, I'm reminded quite a bit of Ardiles , with a bit more speed/acceleration

Needs to improve first touch - Pep

This analysis makes all the points that Pep made in the press conference, well spotted. I can't get rid of the feeling that he's a younger version of Kovacic, which is great because he'll probably adapt to City rather easily, but also eager to see what he'll bring different.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I'm very optimistic that this guy is going to become an absolute baller..

Put this in the songs/chants thread, which seems to have disappeared.
Anyway, a song/chant for Mateus;

To the theme song from the film Amadeus,

Oh Mateus, Oh Mateus,
Oh Mateus,
Oh Mateus, Oh Mateus
Oh Mateus
Oh Mateus, Oh Mateus
Oh Mateus
Oh Mateus.

Quirky, different.
Do I get my coat?

I'd quite like to see him start today. Not sure if he will though.

Younger version of Kova and more athletic as well. Very similar to Frankie De Jong and Nunes was on recommend list for man United when Ten Hag missed out on himself.

We are yet to see his full potential and his defensive work improved at Wolves.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Not judging him in anyway here but he's got some performing to do to make sure we got the right player as paqueta who we probably sign ahead of him if the betting thing didnt exist i thought was fantastic today
