Matheus Nunes

It just seems to be every prem club we want to buy a player from acts like cunts, they might think the same about us who knows. But these prices we're getting quoted are just not realistic, he had a bang average season last at Wolves yet his value has risen dramatically, absolute bollocks

Both Ederson and Akanji had the same number of PL assists as Nunes last season.

Nunes played 36 games, mostly in attacking midfield.

Completely agree with this, Wolves bought Nunes from Sporting and if you read what their fans wrote of his performances throughout last season, mainly disappointment eg misplaced passes, lack of effort, not committing to the tackle, sulking, slow on passing, unable to cope with the faster pace of the PL etc. One positive in early January was he was able to carry the ball forward well for a few matches, but later he then reverted lost the ball regularly as the season wore on. Also one good match in April when he scored. In the whole season only one goal and one assist!

He's not proven himself in the PL yet, despite 12 months here. We would probably get a much better player for our money looking to another European league.

This is like reading Bluemoon a few years ago about Gundo or Mahrez.....

An alternative to nunes is probably going to be someone of less value rather than more. the value of players we’ve targeted for this role has decreased as we’ve gone:

Bellingham: 100m interest
Rice: 90m bid
Paqueta: 80m
Nunes: 60m valuation

I’d say it’s likely if we miss nunes it’s either gonna be a £30-40m player who is likely to be underwhelming for a lot of the fan base but someone that city see as good value, or we don’t bother.

You realise he is being directed by Mendes and City right?

Nobody realises that because nobody knows whether it’s true. He could have proper seen his arse and has done it off his own back.

Nunes played 36 games, mostly in attacking midfield.

To be fair, they played with other players that know how to score a goal.

Wolves don’t.

Didn’t none of their strikers score in the league until Easter time?

Kev would have have the same number of assists as those two if he had played for that Wolves side.

Merino at Sociedad with his £50m release clause incoming.

 

[Plain Speaking]

I don’t think the fee Wolves want for him is ridiculous in this market. It’s actually very reasonable. My feeling is that City are just not THAT into the player. Like, we’d have taken him if Mendes could have done something crazy for us, but otherwise, no. City aren’t going to haggle over about £5m if we’re certain he’s the one. This was all instigated by Mendes, imo, not City.

Wolves' itk seem to think Liverpool had an option for him for £50m this summer? Not sure if they would have even exercised this, given such a 'meh' season ?
Mendes/Wolves trying to squeeze us because we're short in midfield. Overall more negative than positives about him imo.

 

[MarsLlama]

Palhinha is probably the best alternative in the PL but Fulham would likely want big money.

That'd be like missing out on Gvardiol and signing Lucas Hernandez - great players but completely different.

If Nunes is a problem then Bayern are looking for DM type and rumoured to have offered Gravenbech to the rags for Mctominay? Maybe we could convince Phillips to go there as Kane is there and Do a loan swap? Then if we have cash try for Eze?
