NFFC News None Transfer Related

I was thinking the same.

He keeps things compact defensively like Sabri did and looks to exploit the opposition. At least he did before he tried to change things this season. I don’t know whether it was because of the Jimenez injury or not. I’d stopped watching Wolves by then as they were quite defensive so not great to watch!

It’s all relative though, I’d trade in the current guy for him, and at least we’d likely get to see a back 3 of Worrall MbeSoh and McKenna.

I am sure that Nuno will be looking upwards not downwards.

Completely agree Sniff that’s why we only attract dinosaurs like Hughton  :D

Oh I don’t expect for a minute he’d come here, that would be a surprise. I read that Wolves are tightening the purse strings and looking at a net transfer spend of zero this summer, and putting ground development on hold. So not going to attract a heavyweight, hence not that surprising that Sabri is in the conversation along with him being a Mendes client and approach similar to the style Wolves had their success with.

So it sounds like Wolves are going to be the next modestly sized club who've spent beyond their means.

Not sure about that. They've got a good return on their investment so far, but trying to break into the top 6 would take huge money and they're not going to try that. So actually sounds like they're being sensible.

I always doubted how far Wolves could with a seemingly Mendes led recruitment approach. The model was great for getting promoted when the players coming were at a much higher level than their league status, but if the club is not calling the shots does it become a vehicle for the agent? It looks like they've wasted a lot of money in the last year or more.

According to the Athletic, Nuno (a Mendes client, obviously) had the final say on transfers and sided with the Mendes suggestions against the in-house suggestions, to the point that their Sporting Director quit early 2020, and things obviously went down hill since.
