This is excellent news as is the guy from Norwich. Maybe we should be a bit less vocal about our outrage when other clubs steal our staff though?!

Loads of Portuguese players incoming.

You'd have a point if we'd taken their entire coaching and recruitment set-up.

 

[Brovion]

Do you remember when threads about new signings used to be about players?

Where do you want us to get them from? Costa Coffee?

I guess it is not appropriate to do a WAG's comment on incoming staff ?

Is that another new Ecuadorian talent?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Does this mean that my application for the role of Centre Forward Scouting Manager has been unsuccessful on this occasion?

You didn’t understand my post did you? Some of our fans moan whenever one of our staff leaves for another club and yet we routinely recruit from other clubs. Can’t have it both ways.

I don't think the post was that clear. Other than the usual regret we've not moaned more than anyone else with the exception of Potter's classless Chelsea-led exodus.

I doubt it. That’s probably why he is leaving Wolves!

Tweedy: “I’ve spotted another great talent, I think we could get him very cheaply”

Wolves head of recruitment: “Is he Portuguese?”

Tweedy: “No, but I can check to see if he has ever been to Portugal if that helps?”

Wolves head of recruitment: “Foda-se Tweedy, você sabe como funciona aqui!”

I’d be surprised if he was involved in any of these transfers to Wolves, all with the same Portuguese agent:

These players weren’t scouted, they were presented to Wolves by Jorge Mendes.
