He's had over 10 years playing pedestrian paced football - I think it would be a culture shock this late on for his legs. he's been at monaco playing in the CL every year, doubt that's pedestrian. 5m is nothing in this market was my point.

It's nowhere near the pace of the prem. Look at the midfields now... reliant on pace. Monaco selling for £5m..... Why would they do that? He's gassed. You only need to look at the likes of edgar davids when they came over. He may be good but at 31? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the prem.... he's never played in it before. Look online about him - his legs have gone. In the world cup he was overrun. Very similar player to arteta who by all intents and purposes was done at 31/32. I wanted moutinho here 10 years ago. Not now... are wolves going to be able to carry him in midfield? By carry I mean just allow him to have the ball and not do much running? Scholes knew the prem inside out and had runners working for him. We've just got rid of a 31 year old who's legs had gone. May be a good signing for wolves... doubt it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 To me it would also look like something else is sweetening that deal. A shot Moutinho would normally command a bigger fee on his name alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
