JF 694 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Reported by an athletic journalist that covers Wolves “I'm told that talks have taken place over signing AEK Athens' Portuguese striker Nelson Oliveira. Wolves have looked at him before when he was with Norwich. Scored 9 in 15 in the Greek league this season. Aged 28, 6ft 1in, could be an ideal back-up to Jimenez.” Edited January 20, 2020 by JF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted January 20, 2020 Wouldn’t be a massive surprise as they all use the same agent! A fit , motivated Olly would be great for anyone . Trouble is it doesn’t seem to last that long ! Didn't he moan about the weather here after he left us? Is it better in the Black Country then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 20, 2020 Excellent technical ability, I can see him being a hit at Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was atrocious of Mings and not the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminally Yellow 2,448 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Will be his eleventh club in less than eleven years. Undoubtedly a talented player - but obvious questions over his commitment. Edited January 20, 2020 by Terminally Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 746 Posted January 20, 2020 The only part I’m bothered about, have we got a sell on clause? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted January 20, 2020 Didnt he basically say he hated playing in England? Although 60k a week from Wolves might persuade him.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) I suppose the large Portuguese contingent at Wolves might make up for the food, the weather and whatever else it was that stopped him being a professional while he was with us. Nuno is no mug and will be aware of Nelson's chequered history, must have a plan for handling him.....if he isnt/ doesn't then they're taking quite a gamble. Huge talent, bigger ego. The more I see of the 'new Norwich ' the more I understand why he was never going to fit in here. Edited January 20, 2020 by wcorkcanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,196 Posted January 20, 2020 Slightly annoying in some ways because we never got value from him. Expect he'll be delighted to put one over Farke next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could also revert to type , as he's not the coolest, lose his head after 3 or 4 wild 35 yarders, get irritated at Emi for being so skillful , do something stupid and get sent off.

HertsCanary93 222 Posted January 20, 2020 Wolves really are dodgy from the ground up. Oliveira is another Mendes player right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Overrated, over paid 22 Posted January 20, 2020 Nelson will not go to Wolves. Lazy journalism! He's being touted across Europe by his manager. A link to Wolves will help ignite interest. Nothing to see here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 297 Posted January 21, 2020 I was working in Lisbon just after he signed and a Benfica supporter in the staff canteen thought it hillarious we'd signed him. Anyways, it wasn't until that fateful New Years Day meeting with Brentford that I actually realised why our decision deserved such mirth from the Portugese ..... As was explained to me, there's three teams out there. You, with ten men, the opposition .... and Nelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
