00:00Right. One person that we definitely think will not be here at the start of next season,

00:03I'm sure some people hope that they will, but it's very unrealistic, I think, and unlikely at

00:07this stage, despite him signing that big contract extension in January, and that's Mateus Cunha,

00:14suspended, will miss the Ipswich game. We're back for the Spurs game, I believe, after that,

00:19that extra one game ban, additional game ban that he was given. I'm sure that he will come

00:24straight back into the side and I'm sure he will probably look to score up to, oh, he'll be

00:29aiming for 20 goals. I'm sure he will be, 20 Premier League goals. At the same time,

00:34it's an important few games for Mateus Cunha because he knows he's in the shot window. I

00:38think we all know that he wants to move to a bigger club and I think there will be interest

00:44there. But I guess with the disciplinary problems that he's had, with the issues he's had off the

00:50pitch, there will still be suitors there, but I think that maybe the top teams in the Premier

00:55League and maybe the top teams in European football would be looking at this next five

01:00or six game spell that he's got left for the season when he just come back in very, very

01:04closely to see whether they do make a move and trigger that minimum fee release clause.

01:09Yeah, I don't think his disciplinary issues, as bad as they are, I don't think it will impact

01:16him getting a move. I do think there'll be a lot of clubs for the money we're talking about that

01:20would still happily take him. So I don't think that will be a major stumbling block for him.

01:27But what he does need to do is come back and if he wants that move, which we know he does,

01:33and I'm sure it will happen, he's going to have to go out and make sure that he can convince

01:38as many teams as possible to invest. And if he can do that and have the pick of his clubs,

01:43not only financially will he have the pick of who he wants to go for, but also from a footballing

01:47and competitive perspective, he'll have a much better opportunity of going out there and winning

01:52trophies elsewhere. It's not going to be at Wolves. We're expecting him to leave the football club,

01:56hopefully with all going well in the next few weeks. And as you say, we're back for the Spurs

02:00game and what was being able to get some results in the last few games as well.

02:04Couldn't you won't be needed to keep wolves up necessarily, but he still needs to come back and

02:09perform. I don't see a world where beetle prayer leaves him on the bench. I'd be very surprised

02:15at that. I think he comes back in the plays and he's a regular starter as he, as he should be

02:19really with his, with his talent. And really Mattias Cunha, if he wants to do himself any

02:25favors, he should keep his head down. He should go out, perform, score goals, win games, and not

02:34make himself the story, which he has done on a few occasions this season. If he does that,

02:39I think you'll have to pick of, of several clubs that would absolutely snap your hand off to take

02:45a player of that quality, Brazilian international. But if he comes back and some of those issues

02:50start to arise again, it becomes a problem. I still don't think, I still don't think clubs

02:55will be put off by it, but I do think it becomes more of an issue going forward. He has to just

02:59keep his head down, perform. And as we expected, most likely move on. Yeah, he's definitely got

03:05main character energy, Mattias Cunha. It'll be interesting to see if he goes into a big,

03:09a big club, how that, how that, how he fits in really from a personality point of view.

03:14But yeah, you're right, Liam. And with that minimum fee release call set at £62.5 million,

03:19if that was 70, 80, or there wasn't one, then I think we'd be having a different discussion.

03:24But you do feel that because it's on the low end of the scale, that there will be suitors,

03:30regardless of what he does between now and the end of the season, even if he doesn't score.
