Sporting and Benfica are both interested in Ruben Vinagre but he's not good enough for Wolves.
I think Mendes just wants to churn some agent fees instead of thinking of the best interest of Wolves.

Thats probably because Sporting and Benfica play at a lower level than Wolves. Vinagre is great at getting forward but very average defensively, maybe you can get a way with that in Portugal? Oh and it's Mendes job to churn agents fees, it is NOT Mendes job to think of the best for Wolves! That's on the club and either you trust their judgment or you don't. Fine either way but let's not blame Mendes for just doing his job eh! 🙄.

The Champions League is a lower level but all the Premier Teams want to qualify and win it.

Rangers are in the Champs League, does that mean they are playing at a higher level as well then?! Or Boavista or any of the smaller league clubs that also qualify for it?! Behave! 🤣.

Also I think you'll find Benfica haven't qualified for the Champs League, so maybe re-read my post as it was pretty clear in that I was referring to the Portuguese league (I even mentioned it) 🤣.

Either of those teams could play in the Premier League and would finish above Wolves most of the time.

That's not the point though is it, also I'm not convinced your right there to be honest. Please re-read my original post because the point I was making is that maybe a fb being good at the attacking side of their game but not the defensive is easier to get away with in other leagues. Just look at Semedo, he held down a starting position at Barcelona for a few years he should have been a dream signing. But as it turns out there's work to do on the defensive side of his game, farilities that are being shown up in the Prem that weren't in La Liga.

Benfica is rated the 22nd best team - in the world. Porto is rated the 16th best team in the world. You can argue about how accurate it is but the experts are saying you are full of it.

And again I ask what that has to do with absolutely anything at all that we were originally talking about? You do seem to be struggling to follow my point so I think this will be my last post on this as I have little time for comments like 'you are full of it'!
Please try and stick to the point on these threads else it gets very tedious. Do you not understand how co-efficients and best team rankings work, who my kidding clearly you don't else you wouldn't have mentioned it, never mind then cause I've not got the patience to explain it.
Also please do remind me why we are waiting for Lage to get a work permit?! That's right because he doesn't automatically qualify as Portugal is a SECOND tier league, not my choice but those experts that you like to quote! And just a side note maybe try and debate like a grown up going forward (stick to your original point and don't use experts to tell me I'm full of it)!
Jes, I forgot how juvenile these pages get in the close season, might be time to take a break while the kids are off school! 🤣.
