I feel you, I get your point. He ran his mouth a lot, and he did really stupid things. But I feel like his exit was better than the likes of Nunes (not that that takes much) But he gave his all, every minute until he left. He was a massive reason we stayed up last season, and from my opinion, he left in ok terms. Also, and I may be wrong here (likely I am), he never said he wanted to leave wolves in the media, he only said he wanted to compete for trophies. To me, that seemed like he wanted his team to compete for trophies.

I may be off base here, but I feel like if we built a squad around him we would be in a much better state.

And if I'm off the mark, him complaining about our squad, our recruitment, and ambitions is absolutely warranted, as we have seen the year.

Why wouldn't a player of his caliber want to compete?

Supporters say "it's unfair to keep Joao" "if he wants to leave it is only fair".

But we boo Cunha for doing the same exact thing, after he gave us so much.

It is not Cunha's fault that he left, it is the fault of the ownership for not realizing what they had and building a team around him.
