Yeah agreed,
Jimenez didn't really score goals until he came too us, Salah didn't early in his career either.
A lot of players start pretty slowly and developed into beasts, far more players learn it and are successful. I'd actually say poachers, especially at youth level, are the riskiest bets.
Apologies a little off topic as its not Nunes specific, but it was raised on this thread.
We have some very good young players that, prior to a switch to a four, would have been ideal at wing-back (Bueno & Giles). The trouble is, neither are great defensively and both excel going forward (Bueno himself was a winger/forward when he joined but we converted him to a wing back).
Not saying it can't be worked on, but I don't think a switch to a back 4 has done them any favours for imminent 1st team consideration, as much as we'd like to see it.
I was just messing aboutSorry…..didn’t mean to imply that.
Just that I read the signs as being half full…….this window is no surprise to me.

I wouldn't apologise, this thread doesn't seem to have a topic any more. Needs renaming 'General Discussion'.....Apologies a little off topic as its not Nunes specific, but it was raised on this thread.

Indeed, a player of veritably giant status....Me, too. Forest would surely be able to afford £20M for Podence? Would be in mourning to see him go. But for Forest, well worth it , for a player so consistent, reliable and injury free. Honest!
Any fullback who can't play as a wing back or any wing back who can't play as a fullback, need to get on the training pitch and work on their gameApologies a little off topic as its not Nunes specific, but it was raised on this thread.

Good postWhat is it with some posters on here who accuse posters of daring to be critical as man babys and telling them to **** off, whilst seemingly putting on point scoring posts on this thread? Why cant we all rejoice in a potentially outstanding signing. Yes some of us, including me are critical and have been and with good reason in the last 12 months, in my opinion. At the end of the day we all want the best for the club and have different opinions or this forum would be dead.
I will happily hold my hands up and say fair play to Fosun if they pull of these level of signings. I was genuinely worried a few weeks back and yes I have been critical and if this upsets some on here I apologise but being told to **** off seems very extreme and almost a lot of pent up rage in some posts against posters who dare challenge or show any criticism or concern.
You must be the only one then lolSorry…..didn’t mean to imply that.

Is he at BHX yet?
Obviously I didn’t know who we’d be getting but I said we’d spend big. Although I felt sure we‘d have maybe 3 in for preseason.You must be the only one then lol
Ironically, Pod nearly went to Forest in the past from Olympiakos who have the same owner as Forest, so could see Forest going for him but not sure Pod would want the move even if more money as wouldn't have the same Portuguese dynamic.Me, too. Forest would surely be able to afford £20M for Podence? Would be in mourning to see him go. But for Forest, well worth it , for a player so consistent, reliable and injury free. Honest!
Fair enough mate, I don't remember anything that bad, but if it was then I can understand the reaction.
Obviously not privy to the internal workings at Wolves and its transfer policies and without hearing directly from the club, I can only comment on what I see and hear from different outlets. From that, it appears as though we are a joke and haven't a clue about how to progress transfers.
This enzo nonsense…..Why are we shopping in Harrods with a bag of lose change and few old buttons. What’s the point of even going for these players from top clubs who have options like Milan and benfica etc? Or is that the tactic so Jeff can make it look like he tried but ultimately failed again.
We have no European football to offer. We have no ‘project’ to sell. We have a useless drip for a manager. We have no style of play. We have our best player in the shop window. We have hardly any first team players. We have an old ageing stadium. We are a club most foreigners (probably) have never have heard of. We are located in the former industrial heartlands not some vibrant trendy cosmopolitan metropolis.
When you can only afford to shop in Lidl. Shop in ****ing Lidl. There are some bargains to be found for sure. Don’t waste you time on a trip to Knightsbridge to ask the shop assistant if they will sell you a Tiffany tiara and matching diamond necklace for three pounds ****ing fifty cos you want it for your daughters school disco run by DJ Dave down the local WMC.
I still think Palhinha is a good realistic target for us rather than our pie in the sky deals like Nunes.
I will happily eat humble pie if they pull it out of the bag, my fear is they hinged all of their deals on selling neves for big money and now he looks to be staying they’ve had to pull the hand break up. To be honest even if they did sell him they would probably only give us half and they still wouldn’t be able to get anything done as they are all numpties running the recruitment side of the club.
I don’t live in the uk but I’m sure those who are season ticket holders must be rightly ****ed off knowing they renewed off the back of lies and literally the day after the deadline was up the whole sell to buy **** came out.
HGWIs he at BHX yet?

Happy to admit that they are all me. Threw my toys out the pram after we missed out on Kieffer Moore.All you have to do is pick a low number and go to that page of the main transfer thread, within a couple of pages Wolves are a joke, we're embarrassing, have a useless drip for amanager, and Jeff is a liar - and that's just a few at random, anonymised so that people don't feel silly:
Some happiness and credit where its due would go a long way towards helping the reaction you get though. Pretty much all you've said is what about the next one, little if any praise for Nunes.Well said indeed
I was responsible for number 3 but have never accused Jeff of being a liar or Wolves as a joke. This was based on the player saying he was not interested in us.All you have to do is pick a low number and go to that page of the main transfer thread, within a couple of pages Wolves are a joke, we're embarrassing, have a useless drip for amanager, and Jeff is a liar - and that's just a few at random, anonymised so that people don't feel silly:

For the kind of money suggested, can it be over elaborate? I'd be on the phone to Spielberg.Just think, right about now or the next hour, they're probably filming the over elaborate announcement video.
Get John Williams out of retirement to score the video!For the kind of money suggest, can it be over elaborate? I'd be on the phone to Spielberg.
We had set quite a high bar in that department, one that was never going to be sustainable.Only slight concern is he isn’t quite as handsome as our usual signings - I suppose we had to compromise somewhere though
Can he score against Spurs, though?Get John Williams out of retirement to score the video!
I put up s thread about them todayWhat’s happened to eufa rules on finding/spending? I have completely missed any changes if they have come out so just hoping they apply to all unlike FFP does now.
I think a lively debate is good for all forums.They’re a ****ing disgrace! Some of the bile and hatred that has been spewed towards a club they supposedly support has been nothing short of horrendous. Instead of holding their heads in shame, they just need to well and truly **** off!

I’m not ashamed of saying that it was just a comment based on what the situation appeared to be.
Bet you feel great never having voiced genuine concern
Now that is a concern. Maybe it means he’ll start like a rocket then fade into a whinging, arm-flapping possession relinquishing merchant like another butt-ugly midfield Sporting alumni?Only slight concern is he isn’t quite as handsome as our usual signings - I suppose we had to compromise somewhere though
A NetJets flight NJE114C from Faros in Portugal to Birmingham International is due at 16:14pm.Is he at BHX yet?

I’ve said it’s great having quality covering most of the pitch. But what is badly missing is a striker. If we don’t get one by Saturday we are reducing ourselves to a 34/35 game season and the 5 points already lost could come back to haunt usSome happiness and credit where its due would go a long way towards helping the reaction you get though. Pretty much all you've said is what about the next one, little if any praise for Nunes.
