Nunes to City

[WickedWolfie]

Would he though?
I'm concerned this sets a precedent for other players wanting to leave.

Nothing new.... See Big Willy last summer

Danny Mills level of ‘targetting’ incoming when he returns in his bathroom blue shirt in a few weeks time.

Stonking.....

Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs says he was "disappointed with how it ended" after Matheus Nunes' move to Manchester City.

Nunes was fined after missing training in an effort to force a deal through before his £53m move to the reigning Premier League and Champions League champions was confirmed earlier today.

"It wasn’t necessary the stance Matheus took, but we ended with a good resolution for everyone," said Hobbs.

"Matheus is a hugely talented player but would admit that last season he didn’t hit the heights he expected, but it was a tough season for the team, so maybe he wasn’t allowed to do that.

“We’ve lost a player with a lot of potential, a lot of ability, but the situation has led to us bringing a greater number of players in to improve the squad and provide competition in the group.

"The players here want competition in training, so while we’ve lost a good player, it’s made us a more competitive and better squad overall.”

Just didn't need to strike, would have got his move and done it respectfully.

think this is what has ****** everyone off. No need to do it. Wolves said open to fee, we were already discussing replacements and talking as if he wasnt here.
His wolves obituary would of been "we expected more from you as a record signing but potential clearly there, we understand the move to city as who would turn that down considering their current standing in the game, we get a profit despite you not really being that good for us. Off you pop, no hard feelings but we dont really care about you and we all move on"

Now its 'youre a petulant kid who has been arrogant throughout his tenure who spat his dummy out to progress a move that was already happening, good riddance and i dont wish you any success. bit of a snake and will be pantomime villain on return.'

Hopefully any thoughts of wolves fabricating nunes going on strike to appease the current situation and garner acceptance of nunes leaving is put to bed now with the statement from hobbs. No way to a director come out with that sort of statement without the goods to back it up.

“I’ve learned so much during my season at Wolves and I’m excited to continue improving in the Premier League, a division which brings the best out of me.''

Brings the best out of you??!!

I must have missed that.

 

[Direwolf]

So glad we got this deal done it would have been pretty awful if he had stayed. His overall contribution was pretty sporadic and while he obviously had ability his decision making was often very poor indeed. Will we miss him? No I doubt it.

 

[tonto]

Sadly l fear that he will show you on 30 Sep.....

Nah don’t think so, few boos and he will cry

If that's his best I'm relieved we didn't see his worst....

I think he'd have been sold anyway, especially if he'd privately stated he wanted to leave, I don't think the club would want a player that didn't want to be here and I think we'd have been glad of the money to do what we've done. The striking was just unnecessary in my view.

We were not big enough for him then mmm hope he can’t get a game

That's pretty funny to be fair to him.

Definitely. If anything the striking could have made the club dig their heels in over it. And encourage city to not raise their bid.

 

[DJLWolf]

Unfortunately, he has proven what we all knew - he never wanted to play for us.

We need to learn from this as a club and never do it again.

In no other industry would any owner or manager give someone a job, who actively didn't want it.

Good riddance.

Never wanted a player to fail more. I hope Pep drops him by the end of the year.

Give him the kalvin Phillips special.

 

[wolfslair]

short announcement club haven’t thanked him like they normally would

The comments from Hobbs…… OUCH!!!!

That has to sting!!!

Wasn't an awful deal, managed to flip him for a profit and get Doyle on the cheap.

The Guedes deal was far worse.

Roughly translated.

‘Matheus was an utter **** with the way he downed tools; however we thought when we signed him he was going to be dead good but he was a bit crap really and we’ve done dead well to make a profit and get all the wedge paid up front. Getting that snake off the books means we can actually sign some players who might make us better and even if they don’t and they’re not ****s then we still win’

not many worse deals will ever be made by wolves in history!!

This needs to be fully de briefed and educated to all on-boarding for the recruitment team as the “you do this and you are bloody sacked” part of the training plan hahaha

Yup…. It was glorious in what it said and inferred all at the same time, very well nuanced!!!

And the problem with the Guedes deal is that it still is! He's still our player to very little benefit.

 

[Andy]

**** him, he was never one of us

 

[Beijing Wolf]

Initially I was dissapointed to be losing him however having now been given a glimpse of his true character I feel we are better off without him. Never good to have a personality like that in a team.

 

[QB Wolf]

Just shows most players have no understanding or maybe care for the history of our game and the clubs.

 

[DJLWolf]

That's fair, but regardless, I don't think signing players that aren't interested and dedicated to playing for the club is a sensible strategy!

 

[DJLWolf]

You do your job for the love of it do you?

No, but I want it.

Two very different things.

He didn't WANT the job.

You're the one who brought up 'loving' it.That word never came out of my mouth.

 

[Sketchead]

To add some balance, I always thought Nunes always tried while on the pitch, and whenever we scored he always went mad with his celebrations, so I think he wanted to do well while here and cared about our results.

He just conducted himself terribly at the end by refusing to train, which is inexcusable. Will get a nice reception at Molineux later this month I'm sure.

He wanted the job because it would give him the right experience to get his dream job. That happens in lots of other industries!

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

Well he’s finally gone - good riddance to bad rubbish as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think I’ve ever been less bothered about a player leaving than him. Genuinely hope he rots on City’s bench.

 

[DJLWolf]

That's a fair comment.

Nobody will ever be able to convince me he was happy to be at Wolves though, or ever genuinely wanted to come.

Whatever anyway, I'm glad he's gone.

Spot on, IMO. But too many people can't separate things like that - because he left badly, they now knew all along he wasn't suited to the PL, isn't good enough, didn't ever want to be here, thought he was too good for the club, doesn't even like his dog etc.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Agreed, glad we're moving away from Mendes more and more with each window.

 

[Shergar]

Fixed it….
.


Now just **** off.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

See ya you rat

 

[wolfslair]

After watching his interview…..

It is hard not to want him to flop hard, in a major way……

Ungrateful *******…….

People think Ben foster and MGW gets stick….. I cannot wait to hear his reception at molineux!!!!!

Boo him and jeer him so hard even his future generations can hear it!!
