Joao Moutinho Surely Deserves a New 1 or 2 year Contract

[WalsallWolf]

Contract expires in 3 days.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Torn on this one. If Joao not staying means Neves does and he is replaced by a younger model....but not a fetus with potential, then I am OK with him going. If him staying means we get no midfield renovation then I am very unhappy with that.

We don't need a revolution, we need one extra midfielder who is different to what we already have

And he is about to sign for Fulham right under our nose.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

He's been "about to sign for Fulham" for weeks now.

Almost as if he is waiting on something...

 

[Guy dingley]

may get some stick for this, but if we are to keep neves i definitely wouldn’t be opposed to not renewing moutinhos contract. As good as both neves and moutinho, it is tiring watch them as a duo in midfield lack of legs and energy. Nunes x Neves on the other hand

Aren't we all?...Fosun, anybody there??

I think if we keep Moutinho and Neves we they'll probably want someone with a bit more mobility who can carry the ball well

Many have been saying that for years so can't see why it would change now

he really isn’t any different to what we have.

I’ve watched him at least 10 times and I don’t see the clamber for him at all.

Same. Why would anyone want to add another DM to this squad?

Agree with that .

I think Ronan is a far better option .

My response was to the poster who said we needed a revolution, we don't we just need 1 different type in midfield.

Would you replace your microwave if it was still working and did a job?

 

[Matt]

Agree with that .

I think Ronan is a far better option .

Is this sarcasm?

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Would you replace your microwave if it was still working and did a job?

If it only worked 3/4 of the time I wanted it to then I would.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Not if Neves goes.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Would you replace your microwave if it was still working and did a job?

No, but if it fails I can go and but a new one, instantly that does the same job and doesn't cost millions. It is a strange comparison to draw...I can only assume you are hungry!

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Can't believe this hasn't been sorted either way yet, or maybe it has and they are too scared to announce it

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

Can't believe this hasn't been sorted either way yet, or maybe it has and they are too scared to announce it

The way Jeff' Shi and Sellars recruitment staff are stalling with all these in's and out's transfer's rumours..

Bruno will not be happy with his unsettled and weaker squad than last season if it carries on like this to near start of next season?

Come on Jeff ffs make some decisions asap regarding Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Morgan Gibbs White and Matheus Nunes????

 

[Supadavewolf]

Can it play centre back?

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Can it play centre back?

I suspect it's more utility.

 

[Ned]

I’m guessing here but I wonder whether Shi and Sellars are stalling on this to see what happens with Neves. We surely can’t afford to give Ruben a new deal, give Mouts a new deal AND strengthen the midfield with the quality needed.

 

[theweave]

Not if Neves goes.

That was the point though. Obviously it's different if he goes

 

[JOSWolf]

Agree with that .

Ronan a far better option than Palhinha?! Dont mean to be bad but lets not take the **** here!

We should be able to though, especially given the reason for the season ticket price raise(s).
They talk about competing with the big dogs and yet seem to do very little to actually do so.

Two days from tomorrow and his contract is up.

Maybe this should be the umpteenth posting on the transfer thread but the silence from the club is absolutely deafening isn’t it!

No incoming news whatsoever on social media worth knowing and absolutely nothing in the papers.

Newcastle are signing Botman btw.

Just saying.

I agree. I think it’s an absolute ****ing joke that we seemingly can’t add anything worth a **** to the first team without a clear out.

No clarity on Moutinho, no clarity on MGW, no clarity on the Neves situation, several players gone and the wing back area of the squad now left weaker. Two contracted senior central midfield players as it stands, one of which is tipped to be sold. Not one new addition despite Lage's pleas at the end of last season. From the outside looking in it doesnt look good at all.

Maybe I will be proven wrong but it all looks pretty poor as things currently stand.

And yet nowhere near the end of the window.
"No clarity" ? Statements like this do make me laugh. A crying need to know everything,every step of the way.

If/when it happens, it happens. Maybe it's my age, but I don't understand this crying out for constant streams of info.

If we run out against Leeds with the squad as of now, then is the time to question everything.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

All the talk of Roma has gone completely quiet since Matic signed for them think it is more than likely that it is all agreed he is staying on for at least one more year here and they are just waiting for him to return from his holidays and they will get it signed..

That is what I think anyway...

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

I guess we’ll know when he does or doesn’t show up to training?

 

[Mugwump]

Anyone we wanted to keep we should have finalised one way or another by now. Mouts and MGW should have been sorted imo.

 

[WalsallWolf]

1 day.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Ince used to keep us waiting every summer to sign a new contract. Until he didn’t!

Let’s hope for some news today

 

[Summer_Wolf]

How has this not been sorted yet... deary me.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

How has this not been sorted yet... deary me.

How do we know it hasn't?

 

[Summer_Wolf]

How do we know it hasn't?

Because they'd have announced it? Or we'd hear reports from the usual places that it's been done?
