Welcome to Wolves Matheus Cunha

When £8m is waved in front of a normal family I'm not sure there's any choice tbh

Literally a life changing amount on money. Imo it would have been a bigger risk to stay at Porto and not get that kind of money. A financial risk anyway

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

His Dad was a Portuguese international in the 2000s. Doubt they were on the breadline to start with.

 

[Del Woppio]

I mean ya make it sound like him and Luis Figo take eachothers diamond encrusted bins out.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's just he's not like he was sending money back to the favela. I think they were OK as they were.

 

[AndyWolves]

£8m is 50k per week over 15 years. Probably more than Fabio senior earned in his entire career

 

[Carsy]

Thing is, generational talents do exist. Look at Lamine Yamal or even in the Portuguese League right now Geovani Quenda or Rodrigo Mora. Unfortunately, bigish lads who bang in goals for fun at youth level but then can't make the grade in men's football are far more common.

If we were paying that kind of money for the kind of impact a Lamal or Quenda can have even at that age it would've been fine but Silva was never going to be that.

Exactly. Silva wasn’t (and isn’t) going to be ready for say 2 or 3 years.

No club would make a player like that their record signing

Interesting calculator you have there

“Isn’t” is the key word here.

Fabio Silva is a fraud, He’s not even a professional footballer. Fair play to him for fooling the world but anyone that watches football can see it.

He has nothing. No pace, no strength, no touch, no courage, no awareness. Zero.

I have honestly seen strikers at non league level with bags more ability than this bloke.

Cut our losses. And never mention him again.

 

[AndyWolves]

Per month not week! Oops

 

[Del Woppio]

I mean, who are any of us to decide if Fabio Silva's deserves £50k a week for the rest of his life, directly from our cumulated purchases of club shop tat and Wolves Records vinyls?

Not a fan then?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Could he hit 20 league goals this season? He's on 13 now. Would need 7 in 12 which sounds steep, but then he has also scored in every single game this month. He'll be on pens if we ever get one.

We haven't had anyone hit 20 in a league season since SEB in 2008/09, which is longer ago than we'd all like to think.

I am going to assume John Richards is the last to ever do it for us in the top flight.

Yup John Richards was the last player to score 20 or more goals in the top flight with 27 in 1972/73.

Prior to that you had Hugh Curran with 20 in 1969/70 and Ray Crawford with 26 in 1963/64.

In 1960/61 we had 2 players who achieved it - Ted Farmer with 27 and Jimmy Murray with 23.

 

[Tony Towner]

5th top scorer in the PL if you remove penalties

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Only scores the occasional worldie though eh mr Warnock?

You just out-Deutsched Deutsch!

 

[KiwiWolf61]

You just out-Deutsched Deutsch!

I already knew Richards and Curran were the last 2 Wolves players to score 20 or more goals in the top flight as I saw most of their games at the time.

Had to look up the others from the 60s - a bit before my time.

But anything after the late 80s then Dan is your man.

 

[sycophantia]

Just watched the video which shows why the 'J' celebration Cunha used after he scored on Saturday.
Got summat in my eye.

 

[Squeak]

So now opposition teams will be targeting Cunha given his propensity to react in a thuggish manner. Not only has he harmed his own team but his own chances of securing a move away to a supposed "big' club. Very disappointing to watch him behave like that today.
