Matheus Cunha

[SteveBullsKnee]

All this Cunha loving is sweet of us fans. Nice bloke don’t get me wrong. First big offer that comes in for him. He will want to leave. We are a stepping stone remember

He can love being here while having one eye on the future they aren’t mutually exclusive.

 

[WolfLing]

We finish between 6th and 7th.

6 and a halfth?

Given that we paid £43m for him, it would have to be a very very big offer for us to sell. And as brilliant as he’s been this season I can’t see clubs wanting to spend massive on him.

I just hope we keep him for a very long time, Jade.

He seems really happy here, but obviously money talks.

Just imagine him, a fully fit Neto and Hwang, together with another couple of young hungry forwards being signed and running at the big boys in the Premier League. A really exciting thought and one which GON would love, I’m sure. I know I would.

I am allowed to dream in the hope that it becomes a reality.

Cunha has already experienced being at a massive club, Atletico Madrid, and it didn't work out well for him. I'm not so convinced that he'd pull a Nunes.

 

[Lincoln-Wolves86]

Isn’t it fair to say unless you’re at Real Madrid, Man City etc already, then you’d be hoping for a big move? He seems happy here, and his a big personality…but I’d like to think he also has ambition. Ollie Watkins would jump if Madrid came in for him and Villa are doing well. So we would we in our personal lives.
But ultimately he has a contract, we paid big money for him so let’s just enjoy him while he’s here (hopefully a year or 2 yet)

Captain material right there

It's lovely, but what I'm seeing there is a bloke running in straight lines 'on the grass'. Nothing about that is saying to me that he's starting Saturday.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

All games IMO.

Wasn’t he on the grass two weeks ago according to wolves also?

 

[greco wolf]

Yep. He should be fine and I’d expect him to start Saturday

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Either way it's good news. We know he's not two weeks away from running in straight lines don't we?

Also wasn't he asked if he's "ready to take some pens" ?

So he ain't just running in straight lines is he?

Did he say he was ready?

I'm hoping the people telling me he'll be fine and it's all mind games with Villa are well informed. It's a hamstring, not a knee, so I was only really joking about it, but I'd like to hope he's ready or Saturday could be a tough watch.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

I think he’ll be on the bench against Villa, nothing more

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Yep. He should be fine and I’d expect him to start Saturday

I'd say it's very unlikely he starts.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Any news on bellegarde....

It's a definite step in the right direction regardless of whether he's fit to play at the weekend.

 

[hollo]

And hwang

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

He looks fine in that short clip,but only ready for some running as he says, not full contact is my take
I dont think he will play any part if thats the case but still 3/4 days to go so who knows

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I'd say it's very unlikely he starts.

Shame we lack pace to get in behind the vile

Another newcastle type game on the cards then. Contest over after 30 mins

Not much goal threat without Cunha, Neto & Hwang?

It might mean our ambitions don't/can't extend to more than an attritional draw.

3-5-2 may suit us better?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Hwang is in the gym might be good by arsenal nothing on bellegarde sorrry

Bellegarde if fit would play further forward rather than his natural midfield position, which is just a waste of everyone’s time

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Cunha getting back and up to speed quickly is, imo, our best and only hope for a decent end to the season. Doubt we'll see Neto before August and I don't see Bellegarde or Hwang making too much difference if they get back after injury this season.

 

[Pengwern]

Chiwome has to start against the Vile because he is fast and runs into spaces. They leave gaps in defence and their defence plays high. Mattheus on the bench

Bellegarde showed a burst of pace against Brighton twice but didn't continue to impose himself on the game.

Gotta love him. When a manager says 'he's got a big summer with the Copa America' it's easy to assume the player is trying to find an excuse not to play, but in this case it feels more like O'Neil is trying to persuade him not to rush back!

Legend already.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

10th and 11th premier league goal this season. Last year I felt that if he could add goals to his game with everything else he brings he would be top class; maybe none of us could really say really say which way it was going to go.
Now he's in double figures, with more PL goals in a season than Diogo Jota ever did with us, and 2 goals behind Raul Jimenez's 2018-2019 season, in which Raul played all 38 games.
45 million is a lot of money, but I think he has proven to be good value for money, and I expect the same guys sniffing around Neto et al to be now having a good look at Cunha.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Unbelievable player

We need to improve our defence and make sure we always have forwards around him.

 

[Fenrir_]

The plus point to the 'mundane' we can get being where we are in the football pyramid (as I alluded to in the 7 seasons in the PL thread) is occasionally we'll get to enjoy players like this guy

 

[StaffordWolf]

Must keep him at all costs this summer, he is top top class and the heart of the team. Build the place around him.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Please footballing Gods, let me have just one full season of a front three of Neto, Cunha and RAN…

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

No no no no. We want RAN as the wing-back. Or even Neto as the wing-back.

Why who is going to pay the money, he cost us £40M+

Arsenal for one. Him or Gyokeres for 80million....hmmm.

Worth every penny ,has to be a £60m player at this point
Scored 2 today and only 80% match fit
Such a pity we couldnt get 2 fit fowards to play with him most of the season

Don’t tell Jeff.
