00:00Charlie, looking at Wolves and in terms of the youngsters currently throughout their
00:07side now, there's obviously a few fantastic names. I mean, they've tapped into the Brazilian
00:12market as well with market signings like Pedro Lima, who they got from Chelsea's grass, which
00:18seemed fantastic. Paul Chelsea have, you know, João Gomes, obviously an incredibly young
00:26talent, an amazing talent in Brazil. They sort of love him over there. Andre as well, only 23
00:31as well. And these players are, you know, clearly top half Premier League players, whether they've
00:37got the sort of confidence to go and battle at the bottom of the Premier League is another sort
00:42of task. You know, we saw it with Mateus Nunes, that sort of failed for him. Obviously, they
00:47weren't really signed for a relegation scrap, but it's the situation they find themselves in.
00:51Just looking at Wolves and their squad as a whole, who sort of appeals as the standout
00:56youngsters? Obviously, there are some big assets there as well, especially ahead of the transfer
01:01windows. Yeah, I think it's a real shame that Enzo González got his big injury in the summer,
01:07because I was really looking forward to seeing him. If you don't know him, he's a 19-year-old
01:11Paraguayan winger, quite similar in character to Julio Enciso, the Brighton winger, who also
01:17came from Libertad in Paraguay. Quite skillful, sure, agile, able to take on defenders and someone
01:24that essentially Wolves could have done with this season with Pedro Neto leaving the club. You could
01:29do with someone else who's got a bit more character to take on defenders. I know that Mateus Cunha is
01:34very good at doing that, but someone who's a little bit more raw and doesn't seem to care
01:38too much about what he's doing, just going for it. Maybe he could have been useful. But of course,
01:43we'll have to wait until next season to see him. Pedro Lima, as you mentioned, coming from Brazil,
01:49I think he's going to be a great player one day. But at 18 years of age, he still has a lot of
01:53developing to do before he can start games for Wolves. Maybe we can see him in the cup competitions
01:59a little bit more this season and next, but Wolves do see him as the long-term successor
02:04for Nelson Samedo. Samedo's nowhere near the end of his career just yet, but whether he moves on
02:09at the end of this season is another question. Potentially Lima could take on that baton.
02:14Rodrigo Gomez, out of the grasp of Barcelona who were looking at signing him, 21 years of age,
02:20came from Portugal, scored plenty of goals and assisted plenty as well over in the Portuguese
02:25top flight last season. He's had the odd appearance here and there. I don't think we've seen his best
02:30just yet, but there have been glimpses of some real quality, especially with his dribbling and
02:35his ability to cross at the byline. And then one more player I want to see break through at some
02:40point is Bastien Mopieu, the French centre-back signed in summer. Only 18 years of age though,
02:47probably not quite the time to throw him in in the middle of a relegation scrap,
02:50and he has had some injuries since arriving at Wolves. So one that will eventually break
02:54through, but a lot of promise there for Bastien Mopieu who could break through in the Wolves'
02:59defence.
