Lets not sell this guy short. He has the potential to be one of the best defensive midfielders in the world one day.

Still highly unlikely though. Now we have money, our name is going to be used for leverage. Now everybody in Europe knows we've had a £20M bid accepted there will be a host of clubs queueing up to match that.

The fact we are even in for him speaks volumes of Fosun ambition. As you say now other clubs know we will have plenty of competition I hope Nuno can convince him to come to us, very very exciting!!

I thought this was one of the more batshit mental rumours of the summer but it actually looks like it has legs. The cynic in me says this is a short term one year deal to sell him to one of the top 6 clubs for silly money (see Kieta at RBL).

But if we get Neves in then we only need a striker and I think we may well be one of the favourites to go up.

"2 more giants of Portugal football news, A Bola & O Jogo, publish papers showing Ruben Neves moving to Wolves. This is really happening...?"

I'm okay with that...

Some brilliant Tweets on this.

If we sign him Jeff Shi is going to be fighting off a lot of sexual advances!

This my fave so far - "Ruben Neves drops back to collect the ball from Miranda, lovely ball out wide to Helder Costa, gets to the byline, crosses... EDWAAAARDS!!"

I saw that one very funny indeed!

could be click bait but the words "Wolves have signed" means I cant ignore it lol, the bit you will be interested in is....

"Portuguese newspaper O Jogo consider Neves to Wolves a sure thing, and report it was settled late last night, oh-so-perfect for Porto’s accounts."

 

[The Bear]

Porto based paper O Jogo claim negotiations between Porto & Wolves went on all night: "Neves only a step away from joining in a €20m deal". https://t.co/0ODzc2bheW

I've just read the last three pages with a boner

I read them with my eyes.

Absolutely. I can just see Neves face when he zips the ball into Dave's feet and Dangerous miscontrols it back to him.

Ok.. Here is the story behind this. Porto needs to make 115M on sales because of the Fair Play thing. Considering their poor squad that was almost a miracle. But when you need a miracle, who you gonna call? Yep you know who.

This is my opinion on how this is happening: Wolves buys Rúben, Porto gets the money, Rúben stays at Porto on loan, Fair Play is guaranteed, Mendes saves the day, Porto is grateful so they join back the brotherwood, Wolves gains even more Mendes sympathy, next season Rúben joins Juve as he was supposed to but for the real value.

 

[Norman Deeley]

I've read them with my bookie's account open where I think 16/1 for us is looking increasingly good value. Or maybe not if SLB's depressingly sensible post is right...

Done deal according to that.

 

[SLB]

In fairness he would have been unseating the best defensive midfielder (Danilo Pereira) in Liga NOS to get consistent time there.

Fejsa is not playing for Porto buddy.

I will be amazed if we loan him back. It just wouldn't work for Wolves to hand over money for nothing and probably would have the FA all over us.

Porto will probably get a huge sell on % when he does finally move to a major European club....still I will be staggered if we sign him, just can't see it crossing the line.

This would involve an interesting first interview with Benik.
