Our João's sky sports Interview.

[Jayjaywolves]

His jog over towards the corner flag now comes with a customary wave to the Wolves supporters as they routinely sing his name.

"I like to say thank you to them because what the supporters do is not normal," he says. "They are amazing. They probably think I say that about the other places I have played but it is not the same.

Loves us dow e.

 

[Yout85]

The feeling is very mutual.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

Do you think he ever had a prime or was he always just this good?

 

[Pagey]

Been said many times, but he really is a model professional. In the twilight of a great playing career. Hopefully his application and attitude is rubbing of, onto our younger players.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

His ability to effortlessly make time and space consistently baffles me.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

The Portuguese ex-Owls manager was talking about Moutinho in relation to the purchase of Fernandez by ManU. He said that he plays with a "radar in his head", meaning that he knows where everybody is, where they could be and how he can help this to come about.

Joao Moutinho interview: Wolves midfielder on his winning obsession

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Do you think he ever had a prime or was he always just this good?

I think that he was born knowing which was the shortest route to his mother's feeding stations and his sense of positioning just got better and better.

Great article

Neighbours know him a bit as his kids go to the same school. He is by all accounts a lovely bloke

 

[SeaWolf]

Great interview and insight Into his fantastic attitude. He'll be a great coach one day - hopefully with Wolves.

 

[Wolves2018]

Absolute legend, great player and a great pro!

 

[Boss Hogg]

What a great interview, I think this quote sums up the man's genius:

"You can learn from everyone, not just the old guys but from the young guys too," he says. "That is what I try to transmit. I want to pass on my knowledge to them to make them better players and better people but I want to learn from them too. I like to learn. I feel that I know some things but I need to know more. That is how you improve. If you think we know everything then you are going to stagnate. This is not good for any player. You have to develop every day. I come to training every day with something that I want to do better than yesterday."

Met him last season when they did a fans signing session in the mander centre. Took my youngest for a photo, she was as nervous as hell. He took the time to talk to her, calm her and made her feel he wanted a photo with her. It was unbelievable at the time to witness a football legend behave so humbly.

 

[Stourport wolf]

A top Pro and he does our club proud.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Consummate professional
Absolute gentleman with a steely edge,his will to win is obvious every game he plays
We are blessed to have him and long may that continue, Moutinho the Magic Machine

 

[Kebab Warrior]

My daughters hero, she met him when she was a mascot, said he was really nice. I can’t believe we have a player of that quality in a wolves shirt. In the 50s yes ok, but never thought I’d see it in my lifetime. The man exudes utter class. I consider it a privilege that he plays for Wolves. I hope he stays when he stops playing and goes on to coach for us.

 

[Contrarian]

We all know he is vital, but this still surprised me:

"It is almost a year since Wolves won a game in any competition without him."

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Most naturally gifted player I have seen at the club, I just wish were in a position to have signed him years ago.....superb player...

 

[Wolf of Wall Heath]

He ran off from me at the end of season dinner last year when I asked for an autograph after I had, unlike many, observed the request not to bother the players whilst they were eating.


In fairness, I was lurking outside the bogs....

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Wim building a dynasty.

 

[WonderWolf]

Top, top top pro! He would clearly always give his very best no matter the situation.

Complete polar opposite to the dickheadosaur types we've had to suffer before.

A true model professional.

 

[VancouverWolf]

I’ve seen the idea of him coaching crop up on the Mix from time to time. Has he ever mentioned that?

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

They are normal people with a gift. Imagine how you’d feel going to take a corner kick and there’s 5000 people singing your name. Must feel so good.

 

[SheldonWolf]

You know the bit on Ferris Beuller’s Day Off when he rewinds the mileage gauge before his dad comes home.....

Do you think we could do the same with Mouts.....?

Quite possibly the tidiest, most composed, compact and classy footballer to don the old gold in my lifetime.

 

[Matt]

Legend. Future Wolves manager?

Problem was, it actually added mileage and he ended up killing the ferrari

 

[Darvo]

Too right . An absolute top pro. We are so lucky. Simon Osborn anybody?

 

[DPE]

I think he is already being setup to become a coach for us. He is one amazing player, we are very lucky to have him.

 

[Stoichkov]

Still a bit wierd that he plays for us.

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

It’s worth the price of a season ticket just to see him play. Can’t think of any other Wolves player I’ve seen who makes the game look so easy.

 

[Jayjaywolves]

I think that he was born knowing which was the shortest route to his mother's feeding stations and his sense of positioning just got better and better.

Haha brilliant.

 

[Fuse]

We all know he is vital, but this still surprised me:

"It is almost a year since Wolves won a game in any competition without him."

That surprised me initially, but then you realise it's actually more down to the fact he plays virtually every game!

 

[Jayjaywolves]

Against Liverpool I think I saw him misplace a pass, a rare mistake that stood out massively due to the fact he rarely loses possession. If it had been anyone else I wouldn't have noticed but we are so used to his excellence week in week out it has become the norm. We are truly lucky to have him and it feels great knowing he knows he's appreciated here.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I wonder if he will stay on at Wolves in some coaching capacity when his playing days are over? He would seem a natural to go into coaching.

 

[Dubwolf71]

In the first half of the Southampton game, after one move didn't work out and it wasn't going our way, he jumped in the air and spun around. You could see the frustration from 100 yards away.

We all know what happened in the second half. Most of the time I watch him on the ball I laugh because I still can't believe what he does and that he is wearing our colours.

 

[JR WAS KING]

We all know he is vital, but this still surprised me:

"It is almost a year since Wolves won a game in any competition without him."

He plays virtually every game, so maybe not so suprising

Beat me to it

 

[S G Wolves]

Best player I have seen play for Wolves and I am 49. Brilliant player and a privilege to see him play for us. Sometimes have to pinch myself...

He just seems to a split second more time than everyone else playing. A bit like Scholes.
