Matheus Nunes - Wolverhampton Wanderers
- Thread starter SportingCP96
- Start date
If he's a B2B who has a certain amount of defensive nous, then he would fit in well to a midfield with FdJ wouldn't he? If so, it is infuriating that we aren't in for him.
Apparently rejected West Ham.
We could get Rabiot and Nunes for cheaper than what we’ll pay for Frenkie. Surely we’d be in a better position that way. Not seen one thing linking us to him though. Mental.
Absolutely he could.
Yep West Ham boss confirmed it.
He has rejected both West Ham and Wolves now.
This kid is not dumb. Why leave Sporting to go to a smaller club in the EPL when he can play CL and get better exposure.
He will only leave to a big club.
I think he'd be a good fit for all of City, United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal to be honest.
I can only think that Mendes is waiting until the FDJ/Bernardo Silva circus reaches its conclusion, whatever that may be. Then he most likely goes to City, especially if they have sold Bernardo. If that doesn't happen, I can see a number of other clubs then trying to compete for him in the last days of the window.

I keep saying it and I’ll say it again, I think he wants a City offer. Ever since the remarks Pep made about him I have no doubt he wants to play for a coach that is so fond of him.
MY GOD.
The fecking goal this boy just scored !! What a rocket.

His price just went up 10M
Just turned over to see that goal. Some power in that shot.
If he adds that to his game he will be unreal.
He needs to more of that, in 3 years at Sporting that is the first goal he has scored like that.
Sign him up.
Sure they said he got three goals last season is that right?
Correct, scoring is not one of his strong points. As of now.
It is either city or Liverpool.
I want to throw up. I have not been so gutted about a loss in a long time. Losing a player like this at this point in the transfer window is a gut punch especially before a key game vs Porto.
Season is in the garbage as fas as I am concerned now.

Why say yes after initially declining Matheus, I will ask ways root for him but to go to a club like Wolves? come on.
I hear you mate. It sucks. Unless he thinks the big clubs that were sniffing around him this summer won’t come back again and he wants to take the PL wages now, I don’t understand not being a little more patient with your career.
I don't think it was what he wanted. Sporting have Mendes in the mix and I think the president got in his ear saying Sporting need the money etc.
Looks to me like Sporting want the money more so then Nunes wants the move. Mendes is starting the Money trade and I suspect Sporting and Braga will make a deal soon. Quote this for when it happens.
The reason I come to this conclusions is he just rejected going to West Ham which is a bigger club then Wolves and have a better squad arguably, then you say yes to Wolves (Mendes club) after initially saying no?
Nah mate their is more at play here. Thats why I am even more gutted.
He looks too good for Wolves, not sure why a bigger club isn't taking a punt.
I'm furious with this sale.
There was no need to sell him. We were even told that Tabata's sale was to help Mathus Nunes stay. Now this.
We could easily sell him for the release clause.

Amorim must be furious. It seems he was told Nunes would stay so this sale must cause a rift between him and the board.
Also welcome I don’t think I’ve seen you before ! Nice to have another sporting fan
I felt pain changing the thread name from Sporting to Wolves.
I guess we will follow his progression here.

More rumors coming out of Portugal now that Varandas (our president) closed the deal without consulting with Hugo Viana (Sporting Director) or Ruben Amorim.
Amorim in the past 2 press conferences commented on various occasions that moves were made so that Nunes can stay one more season as he was a vital player.
Outlets in Portugal stating Amorim and Viana were completely blindsided by this transfer and in complete shock as they were told no offer was to be accepted for Nunes in this window.
Furthermore Nunes was seen leaving the facilities in tears (as has been noted before he did not want to leave). Matheus Nunes mother also confirming that Matheus did not expect to leave Sporting this transfer window.
If all of this is true then I would not be surprised if Amorim would want to leave Sporting. This smells like like some shady dealings between Varandas and Mendes.
Very curious to see what Amorim says in the press conference.

I wonder if this makes a potential Neves exit more likely and cheaper.
To be fair, I would be in tears if I was heading from Lisbon to Wolverhampton.
We have Mendes biggest and most lucrative client under a contract that he wants to get out of. While I recognise that Wolves is effectively Mendes' personal plaything, we could surely have used the Ronaldo situation as leverage to get Nunes to come here. Unfortunately, our scouts have probably never even heard of the guy let alone considered bidding for him.
You've got to hope that's the case
This Wolves link-up is so dodgy. 
Fans need to vote this tool out of the club!
If Sporting fails to qualify for Champions League next season, that might happen.
Varandas is on a balloon called Ruben Amorim. That is the only move he managed to get right, the moment Amorim leaves the club, Sporting is going to fall so hard that I am worried about what will happen.
If it’s true that Amorim has no knowledge of this deal when it was done then that’s one nail in the coffin. A loss to Porto will be another one coming.
This transfer by Varandas may have single-handedly cost Sporting the season already.
It was a strange timing for the transfer. Now Sporting needs to move as quick as possible in the market to get a center midfielder. Fortunately it is a position that has a lot of offer in the market, unlike defenders or strikers.
Surprising this happened so quickly.
Good luck on your debut kid. Hope you show the world how great you are starting with the game today!
Surprised your boy's starting. Coming on as a sub would be more logical.
