Whilst Neto was a great buy I doubt it took much to get him as he'd played virtually no competitive football previous to that.
I don't think that's quite true. Carlos Vinicius was originally lined up to go to Wolves and Neto had been lined up to go to Benfica when Joao Felix was sold on. Wolves' move for Vinicius broke down (over work permits) and Benfica decided to bring in Vinicius instead leaving Wolves free passage to bring in Neto with the help of Uncle Jorge.
