Seriously – Jorge Mendes is doing a crazy job with Wolves!! Neves was mad enough last year; now Patricio, Moutinho and Jonny too?! ???? They should genuinely push for Europa League with this squad in 2 years! ? #WWFC #Wolves

Moutinho for £5m in today’s market is an absolute steal, throw in Adama and Jonny too and that’s unbelievable business #wwfc

OPINION
These Wolves fans are certainly very happy, but how else did you expect the fans to react? This is an unbelievable signing and it proves that this club will take some beating next season. Some of them can’t believe what is happening to the West Midlands club this summer, just a few seasons ago they were in League One and now they’re in the Premier League signing Champions League quality midfielders. However, despite these transfers, they will still have to get the business done on the pitch when the season starts, that will be the real test of these new signings.
