Mourinho is 58. 59 in January34, 35 in September. Sorry for being so far off.
He was terrible last season with his legs gone wasn't he? It left Neves as the only one.Most people rate Moutinho as Wolve's most important player, tbf.
One was in this thread saying he does the simple stuff really well. Something we're not used to, watching Fred and McT every week.What are the Wolves fans saying about him? Anyone got any info?
Oh, because someone else said Mourinho. I get it.Mourinho is 58. 59 in January
He's got a point, gives me Carrick vibes.One was in this thread saying he does the simple stuff really well. Something we're not used to, watching Fred and McT every week.
He plays far deeper than mctom or Fred. You clearly haven't watched much of him. He is a deep lying midfielder not a box to box. Why would his creativity stats be high?Don't get too carried away, from his time in the PL & Championship, according to TransferMarkt he has played 151 games scoring 17 and assisting only 7, a goal contribution every 0.15 games, Mctominay has a ratio of 0.13. He isn't here to provide more assists or goals.
In a defensive sense he doesn't stand out either compared to true defensive midfielders and according to the premier league website, Fred created 8 big chances and Neves only created 10.
I don't see what he does that is much better than Fred or Mctominay
you havent watched him vs United even?Guess I may need to start watching his YT compilations.
Far more focused on our own guys,tbh.you havent watched him vs United even?
I have watched him and I was comparing deeper lying midfielders, which all 3 classify as in terms of the space they occupy, Why would I consider his creativity stats? A lot seem to point out his passing as one of his key attributesHe plays far deeper than mctom or Fred. You clearly haven't watched much of him. He is a deep lying midfielder not a box to box.

Pogba will be gone.I think we'd be surprised at how good he would be for us. To me he's always had the profile of a united player.
Neves, Pogba, Bruno with a solid defence behind could be immense for us imo, and we'd still have Mctom, Fred and VDB for depth. Get it done.
Fair enough, I do remember one belter from about 35 yards out against usFar more focused on our own guys,tbh.
But they don't occupy the same space. Mctom plays further forward and is more box to box. Fred plays similar areas to Neves but is also much more up and down. Neves is side to side similar to Carrick a position that neither mctom or Fred play. If you pass from deep you are unlikely to have direct high creativity stats are you are normally the assist to the assister.I have watched him and I was comparing deeper lying midfielders, which all 3 classify as in terms of the space they occupy, Why would I consider his creativity stats?

How good is he at controlling the tempo of the game? We need a player like that in our midfield because McFred are more of a ballwinner type.Forget last season, Nuno had us playing ultra defensive even though to be fair Neves numbers were still good.
he can tackle and wins a lot of balls, his vision is unreal and the amount of times he picked out Jota’s runs were incredible, real ball on a sixpence type stuff, I can only imagine those kind of balls for Sancho and the rest of your forwards.
he does like to drop and stay deep although I’m not sure if this is because Nuno insisted on playing Moutinho too, don’t get me wrong, I love Moutinho but his legs have gone and he shouldn’t be starting for us anymore, he should be seeing the game out.
Neves can obviously also strike a ball very well, something which you know from one of the games we played you at Molineux.
I really really hope he stays because he’s my favourite of all the Fosun era players but he’s given us 4 years and lots of memories, especially THAT derby goal and I wouldn’t begrudge him a move to challenge at the very top level.
Agreed. Special goal, but goodness me that commentator is irritating! I bailed half way after the Arsenal goal or my tablet was in danger of flying out of the window!That half volley against Derby... What a goal.
£35m reported fee is expensive as is.He’s very good at controlling the game, he’s like an NFL quarterback, sits back and dictates play.
yes I agree, the commentator is an annoying knob, just says Ruben Neves 3 times
the worst thing from our point of view is you’ll get him at a good price because he’s part of the Mendes carousel, we got him cheap so he will be moved on cheap, albeit at a small profit, just like we did with Jota, he easily worth £50m in today’s market but we won’t get that for him.
I think you’ll lose him but I’ll be stunned if it’s to Utd. We haven’t done business with Mendes in a long time. Lastly, I just do not believe Utd are actually interested.He’s very good at controlling the game, he’s like an NFL quarterback, sits back and dictates play.

Care to share my bredren?Daily Express says a deal is "reasonably far down the line".
Sure mate.Care to share my bredren?
The link is here: linkCare to share my bredren?
The quotes in the Express article are from 13:50 onwards.
No idea how reliable Dean Jones from Eurosport is. But he talks about Saul from 13:50 then mentions Neves from 39:32.
