So, since Wolves bought his replacement, possible?
Excellent
Nunes is a completely different player to Neves, they play together, trust me on this, Neves is going nowhere
Because of contract wolves would want 80m, it’s not just his passing that limits him. He needs a really good partner who can pass short and drive with the ball, and he has the mobility of an oil tanker.
I think he excels in a counter attacking team because he can stay back and ping balls, I am sure he can play shorter balls but it’s not his natural game, and it’s too easy for him to get turned over if he loses possession when playing short. When playing longer passes he can use his positional sense to cover any misplaced passes.
Nunes may be more of a Moutinho replacement.
Bottom of the league with McFred and he's still not good enough for some.
Talk about delusions of grandeur.

Quite right.
Couple of months back and people were saying McT was as good as Rice and Fred as good as Kante, so no surprises here
I would definitely like to try some of what ever it is they were smoking.Couple of months back and people were saying McT was as good as Rice and Fred as good as Kante, so no surprises here
Mendes is calling the shots. I wouldn't bet anything when it comes to him.
Thank God
Something heavy indeed.
Let's hope it doesn't happen. He doesn't have the tools to play at a top club: his positioning is erratic and lacks intensity. A top 6/8 club is clearly his level.
So he is fine for us then for a couple of years.
Surprised we haven’t threw £50m at Wolves yet for this guy considering how desperate we’re becoming.
We feel like those that missed the titanic by only afew mins…
A lot of our fans are deluded if they think we can turn our noses up at the likes of Neves.
We are not a desirable club to play for right now, and we need anyone we can get to fit the system, with the right attitude, who can help push us back to a higher level. Then and only then should we worry about signing the absolute best.

Cool story bro. Did you sign up just to tell us that?
So you don’t want him because…. He’s too good for us?
Still time yet. Deadline day we’ll be bidding in 50m for everyone and anyone who’ll join.
Thank feck for that
Shots fired?
There were numbers rumored earlier in the summer much higher than 50 to get Wolves to sell Neves.
Doubt it.
I would love to know who is a better option for the deep midfield role than Neves right now?
Someone who is actually obtainable.

No chance of signing Neves!
just signed a new five year contract!

Surprised we aren’t linked to him.
imagine being a Man Utd fan and thinking Neves isn’t good enough for your midfield when you have to watch Mcfred week in week out and no other midfielders want to sign for you, the arrogance of some United fans is up there with the red half of the scousers
I genuinely feel sorry for the genuine Man Utd fans who are going through this period but not the ones who turn their noses up at players that are twice as good as what they already have.
you need a reality check, look at the table, look at your performances, you need to close the gap on the number of clubs above you, you won’t do that playing Mcfred, some of you think you’re still relevant and the greatest manager of all time is still in charge, you’re not, he isn’t.

I don't think any of those posters are serious but if you come onto a Utd forum during their worst phase acting all smug, you will get responses like that.
Ive not acted smug at all, I grew up watching SAFs team and loved watching them, no one knows what it’s like to watch a crap team disappointing their fans more than a wolves fan, believe me, I came on here having genuine conversations and giving an insight to some of the players you were linked to as opposition fans have on the wolves board I go on but some of the posters on here are unbelievably arrogant
Main thing for me is that he needs a specific partner in midfield and I am not sure, we are going to get that one on top of him. Coupled with what your club would ask for, it makes the whole thing not worth it. I'd much rather signed Matheus Nunes than Neves for example.
Replacing De Jong i guess…
Like replacing a Ferrari with a tike
Good player. I think not pursuing him was fair enough in the end, there were one or two doubts over his suitability. I think he could be great in Spain.
Busquets in it's current form is not much better than one .
Whichever way you want to look at it...
De Jong is now essentially first choice in that role, and Busquets will be moved on at some point, so Neves is likely to be coming in as cover for De Jong. This all seems fairly logical, but there is always that slight question about the unpaid wages, and whether Barca will try to use this as leverage to push De Jong towards the exit again....???
I certainly hope it's the latter but as you said the former is much more likely at this point, he seems to have weathered the storm , hard to see him leave now.
