Have you seen the Dutch lad we are looking at as a replacement for Kilman, thoughts?

Its difficult to see any player who has the opportunity of UCL football joining us except in unique circumstances.

Arddunby, I was referring to Gomes choosing Wolves over Atletico Madrid.

Patricio joined under exceptional circumstances. Hwang had only scored 2 goals In Germany, Neves probably wanted to be reunited with Nuno. Pablo Sarabia had been on loan from PSG so may have not been in the clubs plans.

But still all left a club in the Champions League to join Wolves. What about Moutinho and Raul? Did they join under unique circumstances?

Both Gomes and Lima could have gone to clubs who have qualified for European competition but have opted for Wolves due to the 'project'.

We're at slightly cross purposes wandering Star, the point I'm making is I would be surprised to see a player join us if he was a guaranteed starter for a champions league club. Many of the names you mention were either promising youngsters who correctly figured that they would get a better shout at a lower level and build from that point, Neves and Jota being examples or experienced professionals who needed a move because they weren't getting a start. Raul was a benchwarmer at athletico if I recall. Rui joined us after fans invaded the clubs training ground.

Don't get me wrong I think younger players are the way to go for a variety of reasons. We'll make mistakes yes, but if a player can do a job for us great, let's consider all options.

Neves wasn't getting game time under the new coach so Nuno was able to poach him.
