I watched a fair bit of Porto after the restart and can't recall if I ever saw him play, was Moussa Marega upfront and someone else. When they signed Ruben Neves and Jota they had much more top level experience.
He's much better, with a far greater ceiling that Cutrone.
Not really. I've been very impressed with the signings you've made in last few years, we're certainly crying out for a Joao Moutinho at base of our midfield. Pretty clear why you're comfortably ahead of us in the league.
Cutrone was still scoring goals at one stage for AC Milan and getting Italy caps. He moved to Wolves at 21 after a couple of years in Serie A.
We signed Adama Traore when he was 18/19 from Barca B for 15m so that was probably similar to this deal. Adama was very quick like now but his game was so raw, had no idea how to track back and tuck in and help the full back and his dribbles would mostly end up in dead ends.
Vinarge moved to Wolves at the same age I believe
You'd have loved a striker with that record last seasonSigning Fabio Silva for 35m from Porto.15 games last season, 1 goal.
Two years on remains a back up to Jonny Castro although will get plenty more starts given Jonny did his ACL in europa.
5 in 10 for Spanish under 21s aswell which got Wolves interest but hasn't progressed since although his goal record for Huesca in Segunda was good last season. Someone Wolves will probably sell on now.
Mason Greenwood was ready for first-team football at United at 18, I personally think SIlva has as much potential as Mason.
As bad as Wesley was last season he actually got 6 goals in 18 games before he got clobbered at Burnley on NYD. All round not great though.
You certainly need a big beef up.
Word is he'll be loaned out to a championship club once we actually get round to signing some players, Preston rumoured.
As long as it's not to us at Wycombe as i gave a fellow fan such stick..how can a guy starting in the premier league go to us on loan etc
It’s a high fee but he’s a very good youth prospect and one of the best young STs around. I wouldn’t spend €40m on him just yet when he’s probably worth closer to £20m given his lack of experience but everything is there in his game to be a world class striker one day.
Well, Adama will make sure of that
He’s far better than Cutrone all round and especially for his age too.
Straight swap with Telles according to various reports in Portugal.

So Wolves have spent about 400m in 4 years!? Jesus.
Not that much, more likely to be around the £350m mark
They got over £50m for the sales of Cavalerio, Costa and Doherty not to mention money from UEFA and the PL.
Those 3 were about 47m euro not even pounds. 12m + 18m + 17m
Lots of people despise him, there was a point where he was practically the one deciding who got called up for the national team. He’s used some clubs and destroyed players’ careers for personal gain, most agents do that but not to the scale he does it.
Yes, they’ve been having money problems the past few years and needed to make some sales
Personally, I think this deal will go sour
Very dire. We are paying for what the management have been doing to the club in the last decade. They are old and expired but still won the elections.
20m each for Costa and cavaliero - 15m with 5m add on for promotion
He's also hated by Benfica fans, just to be clear. He's one of the reasons for the OUTubro movement in Benfica Next elections.
