I know some have adopted a ‘hope everything turns out right’ attitude to Nunes, but I can only base my opinion on his body of evidence, and in that regard I just can’t see it. Given that we apparently cannot recoup anything for Cancelo or Phillips, and the players we are linked with would push him further down the pecking order, it would be prudent to shift Nunes this summer before his marketability plummets, too.I never mentioned Nunes. I see no reason to sell him.
Phillips probably has around £30m tied up and Cancelo maybe £20m so maybe some profit there.
Should never have bought him, why do we feel the need to help wolves out.I know some have adopted a ‘hope everything turns out right’ attitude to Nunes, but I can only base my opinion on his body of evidence, and in that regard I just can’t see it.

And sell them Tommy Doyle for about £4m!!Should never have bought him, why do we feel the need to help wolves out.
I want to see Nunes stay. I think next season we see the best of him.I never mentioned Nunes. I see no reason to sell him.

Can there be a bidding war with a release clause, or does it then become a question of offering better personal terms?sign this lad, before a bidding warn happens if true rags and others are after him as we always duck out of them.
I can understand that "hope everything turns out alright" or "players usually perform better the second season" etc mindset when its players that have performed consistently on a high level somewhere else or if they are young and likely to take significant steps in their developments. Nunes however is 26 next season and has never had a particularly good season in a top5 league and only one season as a regular starter in the Portuguese league. Didn't like the signing when it happened and like it even less now. From my point of view little to nothing suggests he will ever be an elite level player and if an opportunity to sell him this summer arrives we should take it before his value plummet even further and we have another Kalvin Phillips situation next year.I know some have adopted a ‘hope everything turns out right’ attitude to Nunes, but I can only base my opinion on his body of evidence, and in that regard I just can’t see it.

I don't think we'll sign either unless we first offload someone for significant money (Nunes?) and a crop of youngsters.Well if Blackburn is correct and we can’t do £100m on Bruno then Neves is out the window as well because his fee would be £103m!
