Moutinho is a class player regerdless of his age. Neves is a poor mans Rodrigo Hernandez. Rodri not only is a fantastic passer of the ball, but is also quick and mobile in comparison to Neves.
Don’t get him started on Milenkovic again
Thats 800 for Pogba then
Because he can bang!
"We will buy Varane for 500m if you buy Pogba first for 700m+" Real Madrid purchased Pogba for 700m*** - we changed our mind, we don't want Varane anymore, sorry.
I agree that Rodri is a much, MUCH better player than Neves.
Much rather have the Watford player Dacoure for £10m more and 3 years younger!
He has been advised by many around him and legends he looks up to, that joining Manchester United would be the better career choice at the moment and that he would suit the premier league more than the spanish.
This is irrelevent. I said, Moutinho will not grow and Neves will. Moutinho is great but he is at the end of his career and has reached his ceiling. Neves is just beginning his and has much further to go and the potential to be as good or better than Moutinho.
Likes him for his versatility? Let's not break the news to them.
If Neves even has half as good a career as Moutinho he will have done well. Neves is too slow and immobile for my liking and isn't someone that will elevate our midfield considering he's been underwhelming in the EPL.
That's the first I've heard of that, would be over the moon if it was true though.
Good player, wrong age. Also think we have good players in central midfield squad wise even losing Herrera and Matic possibly, we need huge quality signed whatever age/experience that may be, like ddefence I think our midfield need improving firs team wise....disagree its a downgrade on Herrera...but wouldnt argue hugely an upgrade either
Hope we see a similar story in 18 months with Lindelof. Rojo was being lauded after three decent months at centre back here because of the average performances of the other centre backs....sounds familiar
Thing he is a good young player, but I agree too. Think with the worldy goals and some of the sumptuous long passed he plays...his highlight reel blinds some. Be a decent signing but at a stupid price, not for me either......we really dont want 4/5 decent signings we need 4/5 top quality ones and although I like Neves, I dont see him in that category to be top tier even though I think he will be a good signing for a pretty big team all the same
What the !@$% are you talking about? Neves has spanked us 3 times and had an incredible season. I guess I'm calling you out as probably not seen much of him. I live in Wolves and have seen alot of him in 2 seasons. He will be a key player in a top champions league team as soon as next season.
Versatility,
Been a huge fan throughout his career of his until he came here....although Id be happy to see it anyway, only way we are getting rid of him is CHina or a huge pay off
Van gaal has been running his mouth again saying he should go to barca or City instead of united. Also people saying he should go to juventus. Apparently de ligt is a fan of the PL and read rio's autobiography, but pretty sure he sees barca as the pinnacle. 80% chance he goes to Spain. 10% to city, United and juventus 5% each.
He's quite overrated. Carries a dangerous long shot but nothing special or stand out to transform our midfield imo. Good season but there's better players out there.
Portuguese poster @Peyroteo has seen him play over 20 x for Wolves and hasn't been impressed. I frequent Wolves forums quite frequently and they have criticised him plenty this season and rate Moutinho as being a level above.
I really like Rodri. But do you really think he'll want to leave a team Atletico to come here? He was signed 1 season ago so I just don't see that happening.
He's asked to leave according to Onda Cero who're a good source normally. Possibly on his way to City..
Last time I saw Rodri an entire game, I think it was against Juventus the first leg, he was bad. I’m not saying he’s a bad player but the overrating of this guy is getting ridiculous with each post. He looked level bellow Saul in that game.
What has Moutinho achieved in this remarkable career of his that makes you think Neves would do well to do half as good?
You have only seen him play once?
That's a fair assessment of that one game. But Rodri is also very quick and mobile which is a huge asset to have for such a elegant player. I've watched him around 30x in the last two seasons for Villarreal and Atleti and he's the real deal. It's easy to see why Xavi has likened him to Busquets and Guardiola seems very interested in signing him.
113 caps for the reigning European Champions. Only behind Ronaldo and Figo..
Where did you read that? No, I’ve seen him play for Madrid, not sure about Villarreal, maybe once or twice.
United haven't really signed underwhelming players aside from Fellaini. The rest there was a good case at the time and they've turned out shite.
I think Neves will easily have 57 caps for Portugal by the end of his career... not sure Ronaldo or Eder would stick around for another fluky European tournament win though.
It wasn't that clear sorry, I was just asking.
Or Portugal could've better players than Neves coming through and he might get overtaken in the pecking order. Benfica have some very promising midfielders coming through from what I've read.
Neither are as good as Toby.
Both players are young at 21 and 22 respectively. Both players are better than Aldeweireld in aeriel duels and are quicker. Aldeweireld is only older and has experience playing in the EPL over them.
To be fair Mata's proved himself equally ineffective in a variety of positions.Versatility,
I cannot remember who now but a few dutch legends have spoken about how he is better suited to the prem. Also how his best career option is United.
