Matheus Cunha

[Fenrir_]

If I was Chelsea I'd be putting in a 70m bid for the lad. Think he'd get in the Arsenal forward line ahead of Martinelli.

I'd be hoping that if that was Chelsea's bid, we'd be asking if they'd missed a "1" off the front!

 

[StaffordWolf]

Wonder what all those Athleti fans are thinking now after saying they robbed us. I'd say it's looking more and more like we've had their pants down.

Top top class player, 9 goals 6 assists in the premier league.

 

[crocos]

He's amazing.

And at the risk of tempting fate, I'd actually not be surprised if he stays with us a while. He clearly seems to love it here and to love playing for us, and that could count for a lot for him. He somehow seems that kind of person to me; very level-headed.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

He’s our captain

 

[Beowulf]

Love the guy more and more each time he plays. He plays with a smile and puts a smile on many faces. Long may he continue in Wolves colours.

Think it might be quite similar to Raúl in the sense he's been at a huge club and experienced being a fringe player, whereas here he's one of the first names on the team sheet. So I doubt he'll be in a major rush to move on (as long as we start pushing that top six, top seven), but maybe when he's 26-27 he'll see that as the time to have another go at moving to a huge club

 

[Skrilla]

I think he's at the level where the absolute elite clubs start sniffing about, regardless of the price tag. What he can do could suit any team in world football. He's a major reason why we've gone from struggling to score goals, to scoring for fun.

Neto gets all the attention from the mainstream media, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but I think Cunha is much more valuable to us.

United paid £80m or whatever it was for Anthony, Chelsea paid £80m odd for Mudryk. How much is Cunha worth?

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Hopefully this puts all the ‘we overpaid’ crap to bed. We didn’t overpay, we got an elite level Brazilian international forward.

****ing bargain.

Massively . He’s a £100 million player though and no one is paying that

 

[Kebab Warrior]

£120m

 

[StaffordWolf]

£120m

Done more this game than both combined all season.

 

[Flaneur]

The heartbeat of this team, he can genuinely do it all and is now adding regular goals to his game…

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

His Hattrick puts him on 11 goals from 27 and therefore makes it the best season of his career.

There is still at least 17 games to go!

 

[Scallywolf]

He’s our new Jimenez and Jota rolled into one player.

Always playing on the front foot and scoring or making goals. Quick, intelligent and a real team man.

Great player.

Great player.

I was thinking about him compared to Jimenez during the game. Hard to think anyone could come near to Jimenez in his glorious prime but it's a close thing?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He’s getting more and more like Thierry Henry with every game

Jota Raul cunha

As our three would have been a sight to behold!

Cunha
Jota Raul Neto

That would do some serious damage

[Streathamwolf]

Looking more like a £40m+ every game

Looking more like a £80M player every game, imv.

I think - and hope - you're correct. To me he reminds me of Neves in terms of attitude and mindset.

 

[loppers86]

he is probably the best all round forward in the premier league at moment. i certainly wouldn’t swap him for Grealish.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Really hope he stays with us for a long time. He's had a taste of being at a big club and rode their bench 90% of the time. Hopefully he appreciates being with us and playing every minute for fans who adore him.

 

[Cousins78]

What a player, glides around the pitch and is banging them in atm.

 

[Justawolf]

Cunha
Jota Raul Neto

That would do some serious damage

Champions league level that is

 

[AndyWolves]

Great player.

Imagine a front 3 of these guys in their prime.

 

[Woolywolf]

There’s a lesson here for us the next time a player doesn’t immediately hit the floor running, regardless of price. The pace of the league, getting familiar with the role and style of play, and settling into a new area can all take there toll in different ways. Patience and support is a gift

Was thinking about this with respect to referees earlier today.

There are some good referees and some poor ones, just like players and coaches. I was at the match on Thursday and thought the ref did well. He let the play flow, ignored a few dives and booked players for wasting time and cynical fouls. Yet earlier in the season he had a couple of shockers.

They learn their trade in a very critical environment and if they’ve never reffed in the prem before it must require some adjustment. Players often take a season to get up to speed, perhaps refs are the same?

I must try to be more forgiving in future

[woop woop barmy army]

This time last year. I thought we had brought a dud

End the the season. I was still unsure.

Now he is our most important player. Love the guy. Heart beat of our team.

 

[topcat99]

Still will struggle to get into the Crooks team of the week because someone scored for Spuds

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

We play better in red?

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Is he suspended next game as he’s picked up 5 yellow cards

 

[SuziQ]

Is he suspended next game as he’s picked up 5 yellow cards

Only applies if they're received in the first 19 games.

 

[Matt]

He just oozes class on and off the pitch. Says all the right things, does all the right things. Love him. Our talisman.

 

[The Wolf Of Newbridge]

I just looked up 'baller' in the Urban Dictionary and a picture of Cunha was grinning right back at me.

 

[J--Wolves]

Love the way he drops his shoulder when he gets the ball and just accelerates so quickly, like a swordfish

 

[Fifty Niner]

Lopetegui was right about the Cunha purchase. Pity he didn’t want to stick around to bring the best out of his signings.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Lopetegui’s actions last summer look more and more ridiculous as time goes by. His credibility is dropping at exactly the same rate as GON’s is increasing.
