27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

still cannot get over that we targeted Bellingham, he opted for Real, we put in a bid for Rice, he opted for Arsenal, we then almost signed Paqueta if not his betting scandal, ad then we decided on Nunes who spent a year on the bench and now was used sparingly as a left winger albeit rarely played as winger in Sporting and Wolves imo.

would we have played Paqueta, Rice or Bellingham as a left winger? we identified a midfield issue to solve with these guys, then opted for something else (Nunes) and used him elsewhere.

dont now what Txiki is thinking.

You've made your own reality there. We didn't sign him to solve an issue in midfield, we were perfectly happy to go into the season as we were, without him. We signed him very late in the window as what we saw as an opportunistic signing when we learned wolves had to sell players before the deadline. We had a long standing interest in him, saw we could get him in for a price we were comfortable with and had the space in the squad to accomodate him. It wasn't nunes over any of those players or over anybody else it was him or nothing, not unlike gundo coming back in this summer.

Him being here also hasn't stopped us bringing anybody else in since, the squad still isn't full and we've banked hundreds of millions so neither numbers or money are a stumbling block.

Run? I can run to the chippy faster near closing time and I'm a big lard arse ****.

You should give Pep a bell then.As Nunes is one of the quickest players we’ve got.
