“They paid far too much” – Pundit blames Wolverhampton for €35m midfielder who is not good enough for top flight football

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ record signing is already under fire after a leading pundit blasted the club’s decision to spend €35 million on a midfielder he believes is “not good enough for the top flight.”

The Portuguese-based star arrived at Molineux with high expectations, billed as the man to strengthen Wolves’ midfield and bring creativity to Gary O’Neil’s side. But his shaky performances so far have raised doubts about whether he can cope with the intensity and demands of Premier League football.

Speaking after Wolves’ latest fixture, the pundit was brutally honest:

“They paid far too much. €35m for a midfielder who hasn’t proven himself at this level is shocking business. Wolverhampton needed a leader, but what they’ve got is a passenger. Waste of money—simple as that.”

The strong criticism has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Some supporters agree the signing was a gamble too big for Wolves, while others insist the player needs time to adapt and show his true quality.

With the season still young, all eyes will be on the midfielder to see whether he can turn things around and justify his hefty price tag—or whether Wolves will be left regretting one of the costliest mistakes in their transfer history.
