Sure.

So the first 2 pages start basically a short summary of Wolves history. Then it starts talking about NES and the rest of the portuguese coaches and how he started targeting portuguese players. It is said that Nuno usually does not allow journalists during training but when he knew it was A Bola, he opened an exception. The journalist also praises Wolves facilities saying they are Premier League level. People were kind to them, and they were received by Paul Berry. He also points a diference when comparing to portuguese training facilities: no security members. He makes a quick reference to Mendes recent influence and then ends it saying the goal is to achieve promotion since the club has everything to be in Premier League but just could not get there yet.

Interviews:

Ruben Neves - When asked if he is enjoying the experience so far he said that so far so good. Its a big club with good facilities and a great history. He also said he doesnt believe he took a step back in his career. When asked about returning to Porto one day, he says that everyone knows he loves the club and he is sure he will return one day. Also he says that in Portugal he wont play in any other club but Porto. He also says that nobody told him the club goals this season but everyone wants to do their best and put the club where it deserves. When asked if a good season with Wolves could take him to the World Cup next year he says that he doesnt think about it. He knows he didnt play much in the last 2 years so his focus now is just on getting as much play time as possible. Then he just answers 2 questions about what went wrong with Porto last season.

Diogo Jota- He says the same about the club and the facilities. He also says it wasnt a step back in his career because even though its the second tier, the facilities, the fans and the football level are good and its just a good experience. He then says that having all that portuguese players and staff will help him to get used to the club and the region. He also says that he doesnt know yet what the season goal is but everyone thinks it will be the promotion to the Premier League. Then 2 questions about Porto last season and what went wrong. When asked if in Portugal he will only play for Porto he says that he cant say that and the doesnt cut off any club (Good answer Diogo Jota...good answer). He also says that Portugal national team is always a goal for him and he trains every day to one day get there.

Ruben Vinagre- He starts saying that it has been a good experience and all that portuguese staff are very important to help him with the adaptation to the club. When asked if he expects to play or if this season will be a learning experience he answers that expects both things. The league is very competetive and he hopes that will help him to improve as a player. Thats why he picked Wolves and he also says its the perfect club to be a stepping stone to his career. When asked where that next step could be he answers that for now his focus is Wolves but that in Portugal all the 3 bigger clubs are excellent options. He also says that national team is a dream and he wants to continue his good experience with the youth national teams (he is a U-17 european champion with Portugal). He then praises NES work and says he is helping im a lot to improve. Then when asked about his best atributes he answers its his acceleration with ball, dribbling and also free kicks.

Roderick- When asked about Wolves goal he answers its just a good season and fight for a place in the playoff. Then he says his dream is to get to the Premier League (even more than returning to a Portuguese big club). Then he says that he wont say that in Portugal he will just play for Benfica, since a lot have said that before and then did not keep their word. Then its asked his opinion on the 2 former team mates that joined Benfica - Krovinovic and Filipe Augusto (ffs...). Then he says he has no hard feelings for Benfica. He says he became a player then and just improved a lot with Rio Ave. Then the journalist asks if the things that Kelvin goal for Porto damaged his career with Benfica and he answers that its in the past and everyone makes mistakes. He has put that behind his back.

Thanks very much for that, mate.

Very decent of you, SLB. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to the translation.

 

[SLB]

Only in piss poor leagues.

The piss poor league has had 4 european champions and 5 runner ups. The same nation of that piss poor league is the current european champion.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ignore Bear. He wants Joselu and will cry in the corner if it doesn't happen.

 

[Alan]

If we were to sign a player from a Middle Eastern league, the Saudi league is the one to do it from. He's no Al-Soma but he has a good reputation there.

You'll learn very quickly that the British tend to use slightly exaggerated language when they start being negative about something.

That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever read.

SLB, a million thanks for your efforts to inform us about the new players we have signed. I live in Greece so it is not always easy to follow the news exactly. My compliments to you on your insight and of course your desire to share it with us all here on the forum. Many thanks and keep writing I love it!!

Know nothing about him but he's scored goals in the Portuguese top flight whereas Gladon had only ever done it in the Dutch second division.

Know nothing about him but he's scored goals in the Portuguese top flight whereas Gladon had only ever done it in the Dutch second division.

A lot of Gladon's goals were the result of scuffles around the goalmouth, penalties, deflections, etc., too. He looked rubbish even on YouTube, he didn't make sense as a punt before he'd even arrived (unlike this new guy).

 

[AndyWolves]

Al Hilal

He looks too good for that league

 

[Boozad]

Ignore Bear. He wants Joselu and will cry in the corner if it doesn't happen.

That's gospel apparently.

 

[The Bear]

\o/

£5m for this guy or Joselu? It's an easy choice. Of course I've got no idea if he'd actually want to come.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Joselu has never looked anything other than dreadful for Stoke so it's a really odd one to suggest with such conviction.

 

[Alan]

If we were to sign a player from a Middle Eastern league, the Saudi league is the one to do it from. He's no Al-Soma but he has a good reputation there.

I should make clear here that I meant he has a good record there (about one goal every two games). Al-Hilal supporters hate him for some reason.

The Saudi league limits clubs to 4 foreign players and the prevailing sentiment there seems to be that Bonatini will be forced out to make room for a "better" foreign player.

 

[Lycan]

Joselu has never looked anything other than dreadful for Stoke so it's a really odd one to suggest with such conviction.

Joselu always seems to me like he looks useful in pre season, has a few decent games at the start and then just fades away to have absolutely no impact the rest of the year.

 

[The Bear]

Stoke fans genuinely can't understand why Hughes wants rid of him, but I guess you know better.

I'm not really fussed if we sign him or not, he just seemed a realistic choice who has a good European pedigree and is already settled nearby. Certainly better than someone we've never heard of who chooses to go and play in the middle East instead of staying in Europe.
