We must have wrapped up the deal if the rags are now linked :)

They must be altering the FFP rules more like.

Rodri and him in the same 11 would be something else, we can't let him go to the rags.

Bernardo will help make it happen

I wonder if Nunes would be tempted to go back to Portugal as part of the deal? He’s not going to be a regular here is he?

Unlikely. On a long contract and would probably want to maximise his earning potential as he enters his prime years. If we fall short this season, it may be time to evolve again and have something different available in midfield, an alternative, at which point his attributes might be of more value.

Fingers crossed eh :)

Genuine question bud, what are these attributes

Genuine question bud, what are these attributes

Genuine pace over 5-20 metres and an ability to drive with the ball over surprisingly long distances. However, those attributes are currently only useful to us later in games or in matches where the opponent has conceded and is forced to come forward.

He would be far more useful in a midfield that has a double pivot, but, as we saw at Molineux, we are unaccustomed to playing that way and seemingly entirely dependent on Rodri. It could be that the club bought Nunes while thinking further down the line, and that then teaming him with Paqueta in the middle would be a viable alternative to relying solely on Rodri/Stones. Maybe I'm being too charitable.
