Tricky one. They're quite different. Some similarities. Rice is far more dynamic with the ball at his feet and expansive around the pitch. Neves has better vision and has better anticipation. Neves can sniff out danger far easier and more naturally. It's an interesting debate. If I wasn't a Wolves fan I'd probably say Rice...
Can he? 1v1 tackling? Not being argumentative. I'm forever asking people what his key attributes are. When people say 'he gets stuck in', it's the weakest argument alive. He doesn't get any more stuck in than the entry level Prem player should. He wins a few key headers cos of his height.
Looks like the bench is a possibility.
Last year it felt like we were doing the same to be fair.
Does this tie in with Guo attending the friendly in Portugal?
They put a last minute bid in for Coady and didn't get him.
Winks is not as good as Rice or Neves (few are) but he is still a decent player who has just lost his way a bit at Spurs. If he could get his confidence back and be the player he was when picked for England, I think he would be far better than Dendonker for example, and could possibly also play as the third CB IF we went to a back 5 in some games.
You are not in your own, I would have him in our squad, too.
If players like Winks are a dime a dozen, why haven’t we signed any of them? Who are they?

Couple of South Americans?
Doesn’t sound like they’ll be following up with another then.
I agree entirely. If it was it would of by now…
Make's me think the opposite, Wet Spam are just as attractive as us, if not more with London etc., which makes me feel it ain't happening
It is the hope that kills you, but at the same time, it's becoming clearer that if one of the big clubs doesn't come in for him at the end of the window, then I think we've put in the groundwork to convince him of the Wolves project. It also helps that his agent is firmly in our corner, but Mendes will always do what's best for his own players so ultimately it will come down to us convincing Nunes that we can match his ambitions.
They’ve got positives over us in playing in Europe and the London draw. We’ve got the Portuguese connection.
More likely they didn’t even get to speak to him as they offered at least 15 million under Sporting’s valuation - sounds like a bit of face saving there
If he won’t go to WHU (London club, European football etc) then I doubt he will come to us; will probably stay where he is until January or next summer, he definitely wants CL football.
3 or 4 is interesting... aside from the obvious central midfielder and striker, who else? Osorio? Maybe two central midfielders coming in so we'll have 5 with Lage switching between a midfield 2/3?
Wants 3 or 4 and injured players back fit, including name checking Adama in that.
Have a feeling this will go on until the end of the window and if he hasn't moved to a "top" side we will then try and go back in for him right at the end of the window...
I would t be surprised. But if they do, he will only say no again, stay with Sporting, and we will miss out on a CM.
Great news, but if Ramos/Nunes are our top targets does that mean we have upwards of £75M to spend without outgoings?
