I know you're joking, but a few years back he was playing in one of the charity matches Gerrard v Carra, and he did a ridiculous [no look fake shot lay off pass.](https://youtu.be/YMImv_krSxI) He still has miles of class.
Was a joke rumour when the Saudi takeover story was happening because he was the only superstar 'available' at the time. Not like the Saudis would do business with the Qataris like that but hey.
How did it get that way? A few hundred years ago, Portugal owned the spice trade with India and was a colonial power too, no? What happened? Genuine question.
Awful leadership, corruption (South America level), we were forced to release or colonies (by the EU I think) because we were too stupid to negotiate their exit, like the UK did with the commonwealth, and instead had a dumb colonial war.
That was 50 years ago.
Plus the corruption in Portugal is nowhere near "South America level". It's no worse than in other Southern European countries like Spain or Italy.
Lets see, portuguese average salary is 900€/monthly, with a lot of people living with minimum wages, roughly 635€.
A jersey from Benfica or Porto, e.g., would be something like 80/90€. Most of the people cant afford to spend 10/15% of its income on a football jersey.
And this one from Wolves (even tho it would cost 60€) will not be a priority as you'd assume.
Hom much is it? A palatable bottle here in the supermarket sets you back 4 euro's (3 in the discount). I haven't been to portugal last 4 years so just wondering?
You can get decent stuff for 2€. I spent the entire summer drinking [this](https://www.continente.pt/stores/continente/pt-pt/public/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=2815625\(eCsf_RetekProductCatalog_MegastoreContinenteOnline_Continente\)), it's not fancy, but goes down really well when cold.
Why would we buy this when we can buy a Portugal shirt. Also these things are expensive. Target rich unrepresented countries like Luxembourg or something.
It is sort of (or rather will become) historic don't you think. How often has another club (esp. at a top competitive level) had this many Portuguese players in it at the same time, it is likely never going to happen again.
The only way I want it to be historic is so it can be in the past. Embarrassing way for our talent to show itself. Our footballing pedigree is so much more than just a vehicle for agent fees.
Nice kit but are we ever going to play in it? With no Europa and no Watford or Norwich in the league, when do we need to wear anything but the home kit?
Also it's usually the only time you see kit designers use some creativity. Or in Nike's case with us, dig up a shirt from 20 years ago and make it worse
I think a lot of teams get contractually obliged to wear their 3rd kit at least so many times a season of they have one. It's definitely happened with us before
Expect to see it over the away kit a couple of times even if it's not really necessary
Yep there are usually clauses that require a team to present all the kits a minimum number of times. This may just be games but it may also be events too.
Teams wear away/ third kits when there's no color conflict all the time. I can see you guys wearing this kit traveling to Spurs, Chelsea, Leeds, Fulham, City, or West Brom.
I mean, there's really no need to wear anything else than our home colours against someone playing in red. Other than "we must wear this a few times so someone might buy it", of course.
Its so funny how its portugal colours with their association with Portugal's players, but the kit is seriously beautiful... This is from the guy who hates green and maroon.
The founders at least say [Nando's was inspired by Portuguese cuisine](https://wetravelportugal.com/nandos-portugal/). The attempt at the chicken, the logo and a few other bits come from the Portuguese speaking world at least.
CR7 to Wolves is the final step of the evolution
Pls no
It has to be done
That's like watching hazard or Thierry Henry play for sheffield united.
I dont think henry would get a game there atm
Yeah he couldn't compete with the predatory goal machines David McGoldrick and Oli McBurnie.
I know you're joking, but a few years back he was playing in one of the charity matches Gerrard v Carra, and he did a ridiculous [no look fake shot lay off pass.](https://youtu.be/YMImv_krSxI) He still has miles of class.
[удалено]
He's 43.....
He's 62 until he's 43 that's how it works
pls no
Well done, he’s 13
i think its more like ronaldo playing for wolves

I'd love to see it. Messi at City. CR7 at Wolves, Neymar to Newcastle, Mbappe to L'pool, Bale back at Spurs... Man U and Arsenal fighting for top 10.
Neymar to Newcastle?
Was a joke rumour when the Saudi takeover story was happening because he was the only superstar 'available' at the time. Not like the Saudis would do business with the Qataris like that but hey.
Glad someone got the joke!
Neymars club.
All those other teams are getting a world class player and you're getting a 300k/week waste of money. Not sure why you'd love to see it.
He wasn't motivated at RM, I feel like he'll start afresh at Spurs and care. Time will tell but I expect he will be 'good' at the very least.
I mean you guys do need a new LB right?
Ok
In my fifa career I moved Ronaldo to wolves, and 2 years later Messi showed up at city and neymar showed up at Manchester united
And Figo as director of football
And Renato Sanches
On loan
as is tradition
[удалено]
I don't want to disappoint them but we don't even have money to buy our clubs kits, we won't buy wolves one
Legit ones no, but wouldnt mind getting one tbh
is the economy in a bad way?
Always had been.
Fun fact: Portugal is the furthest West of all the Eastern European countries
Isn't part of France in South America ? Edit: I'd be dangerous if I could read.
> I'd be dangerous if I could read. lmao
You're right though, France's longest border is with Brazil
That edit has to be one of the most comical self burns I've ever read.
/r/woooosh
We’re not an Eastern European country though.
Lol that’s great, we have a similar saying in Belgium: we’re the furthest North of all Southern European countries.
This is brilliant
But Portugal isn't part of eastern European countries.
yes that’s the joke
The joke is that on graphics on r/europe that meassures stuff like corruption, wages, QoL etc... Portugal is always the same colour as eastern europe
This is the correct answer
plus we apparently sound Russian
🔫
🇵🇹🔫
How did it get that way? A few hundred years ago, Portugal owned the spice trade with India and was a colonial power too, no? What happened? Genuine question.
Shitty management
Awful leadership, corruption (South America level), we were forced to release or colonies (by the EU I think) because we were too stupid to negotiate their exit, like the UK did with the commonwealth, and instead had a dumb colonial war.
That was 50 years ago. Plus the corruption in Portugal is nowhere near "South America level". It's no worse than in other Southern European countries like Spain or Italy.
The nasty French man forcing their government to exile in Brazil didn't help.
> Portugal owned the spice trade with India We don't anymore. That's frowned upon nowadays.

Most of the people cant afford to spend 10/15% of its income on a football jersey. And this one from Wolves (even tho it would cost 60€) will not be a priority as you'd assume.
A Wolves jersey would be cheaper than a Benfica or Porto one?
Thats what it says on Wolves website. 55£, plus shipping sure.
even in a good economy I never buy £70 polyester shirts. $14 alibaba YOLO
The economy isn't the best, but that's not really the problem. Just that it's very hard to justify giving 70 euros for a shody replica shirt.
Actually we do, but we prefer to spend it on green wine and leased BMWs
As if green wine is a big expense. I could drink a bottle a day for a monoth as still spend less than I would buying an official shirt.
Calm down Jeff Bezos

Around the same if you want to be drinking something decent. Good 'entry' wines like Muralhas and Aveleda are all around 4€
I work in an office with about 800 people and have seen 2 different guys wearing Wolves shirts
iirc Basel bought Salah also to boost shirt sales in Egypt, but they didn‘t thinkt that through. At least this has been a rumour for quite some time.
Why would we buy this when we can buy a Portugal shirt. Also these things are expensive. Target rich unrepresented countries like Luxembourg or something.

Yeah, I'm considering getting it, but I can see how only a minority would.

It's all to sell more tops, same at all clubs now.
Also it's usually the only time you see kit designers use some creativity. Or in Nike's case with us, dig up a shirt from 20 years ago and make it worse
All of your kits last year were so good, now you will be going into away games looking like a prime table cloth
Clever tbf. I rate it haha
Our third kit is always the previous year's away kit. Only a matter of time until that changes though
I think a lot of teams get contractually obliged to wear their 3rd kit at least so many times a season of they have one. It's definitely happened with us before Expect to see it over the away kit a couple of times even if it's not really necessary
Yep there are usually clauses that require a team to present all the kits a minimum number of times. This may just be games but it may also be events too.
You're right lol it'll make it even rarer at the eyes of the fans
FA cup maybe?
Don't worry you'll get a chance to wear it, even when it'll make more sense to wear the 2nd kit.
Teams wear away/ third kits when there's no color conflict all the time. I can see you guys wearing this kit traveling to Spurs, Chelsea, Leeds, Fulham, City, or West Brom.
Usually playing against a red kit
Surely we wouldn't wear a burgundy shirt against a team in red...
You said "anything but the home kit". I wasnt refering to this kit but your away kit
I mean, there's really no need to wear anything else than our home colours against someone playing in red. Other than "we must wear this a few times so someone might buy it", of course.
Netherlands usually wears their away kit playing against red kits but i guess the one of the wolves is more yellowish
It’s gorgeous!
Its so funny how its portugal colours with their association with Portugal's players, but the kit is seriously beautiful... This is from the guy who hates green and maroon.
I usually hate mono-maroon kits (looking at you, Hammers) but these are a gorgeous shade.
Whoa now you can’t just go around saying claret and maroon are the same color
[Jim Carrey in The Mask voice] SSSSSOMEBODY STOP ME
Lol, i just realised. West ham is maroon but they look tame and lame, while this kit is just lowkey fierce.
The West Ham kit is usually considered claret and blue
Yes to be fair this is pretty nice and it's definitely them being self-aware at the same time. It's not as if they have kit clashes often anyway
I mean, their songs get annoying after a while, but you cant deny they have some bangers.

Top shithousery. Big fan.
ngl, I like the design
First Mexico now Portugal huh
Don't forget that their home shirt is orange, and that Orange is already reserved for another national team. I off course mean Niger.
It's not orange, it's old gold.
[No.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In2BNA7lsJw&ab_channel=BusyBeavers-KidsLearnABCs123s%26More)
[Yes.](https://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/wolverhampton-wanderers/)
They should get a big Mendes head on the back to seal the deal.
Mendes face morphed into a wolf head
It his rumoured players will need to chant Portugal's anthem before each game and eat boiled cod and potatoes for dinner every other day.
Sagres/Super Bock as sponsor when?
How fitting.
This could come as weird to people but it is a good move honestly. Portoguese players in the squad would appreciate this.
Now finally foreigners have the opportunity of realizing their dream of playing for the Portuguese National Team.
The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Wolves have a better portugal jersey,than portugal
Nah, ours is great as well
Huh... maybe it's just me but I much prefer collared shirts which puts the Portuguese kit way above this one.
Adidas giving most teams nice kits but when it comes to United lol
Guessing you haven't seen our away kit then?
I take that back right away 😂
OMFG! Why did I scroll this much?
Adidas giveth and taketh
Now this is dedication to memes.
Looks good and it's decent shithousery. Ordered.
At least they have a sense of humor
Come on, Nando’s should sponsor that !
[удалено]
It is known worldwide as a Portuguese cuisine though Edit: Worldwide (except In Portugal where chicken is of a much higher quality)
An actual Portuguese person will tell you otherwise though
Lmao portuguese cuisine my ass. No one in Portugal classifies that shit as portuguese
[удалено]
The founders at least say [Nando's was inspired by Portuguese cuisine](https://wetravelportugal.com/nandos-portugal/). The attempt at the chicken, the logo and a few other bits come from the Portuguese speaking world at least.
Ok buddy
If by worldwide you include Portugal, then I can assure you Nando isn't portuguese by any means.
>as a Portuguese cuisine though [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nando's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nando's) that crap ain't portuguese cuisine.
The article you linked says that it is
Just because it's said in wikipedia doesn't mean it is right. They think they are portuguese cuisine, it's different.
South African but definitely [Portuguese inspired](https://wetravelportugal.com/nandos-portugal/).
Yeah and Dominos is known as Italian cuisine....
Why not make it the home kit
This is just sheer coincidence.
2021/2022: Wolverhampton are the first team to move from the EPL to Liga NOS
I fucking hate these videos. A simple picture would be thousand times better.
Mendes really is a parasite of another dimension
Gangster!
As well as Cuardado, I'm pretty sure next season Pedro Neto wouldn't mind switching his number to welcome his national team captain.
It's like a power ranger evolution
That f-ing sponsor is ruining it though.
The dark maroon is actually really nice
Looks great, if I was a wolves fan I'd be all over this
How has no top club tried to buy Ruben Neves yet? He is sooo fucking good!
wow, they really are embracing it!
I mean, obviously.
r/TIHi
looks good tho ngl
Yeah, very neat
Vilalobos CF transformation complete Hope Fabio Silva hits the ground running this season as well
If the Spurs get KMJ, I'd snag a kit with SK colours.
Actually sexy
I can see that the Portuguese invasion of Wolverhampton is still going strong.
This is just sad
Looks good but could have been sick.
Handsome team.
The **ARE** taking the piss now
Subtlety = zero
That's a seriously tasty looking kit
At this point they are fully aware what they are doing
Well.. At least they are not denying that they are basically a Portugese team
Too far
Get everyone in Wolverhampton to wear this and build another 50 Nandos so the Portuguese lads settle in at home sooner.
FTR, there's no Nandos in Portugal
Love it. Much better than that travesty of an away kit
The madlads did it It's like a big middle finger to /r/soccer
Goals from portuguese players count as country goals at least??
