Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

No, we don't need 6 CBs. Keep Reis and have a non CB space.

The rest is just literally a story you've made up in your head about a bloke who was in the la liga TOTY being terrified an older guy with 6 goals and assists will take his place which I doubt.

after last season we do.

But nobody will sign Ake, nobody will sign Stones on 12 months left and Akanji doesnt want to go.

Why not let the lad who doesn't speak English spend a year where he is comfortable and come back as one of the CBs
 
I’d have gave him another year and expect the club were but obviously this has thrown a curve ball in. Do you give him another year to prove himself or cash in and bring a ready-made elite level winger. We didn’t appreciate Mahrez enough.

This is 100% true a lot of match going fans moaned about him regularly and at the time it was obvious they needed to give their heads a wobble.

Just hope we actually are bringing someone in otherwise it’s a serious fuck up again.
 
Yeah, not much speed and Marmoush definetly isnt a winger imo.
We've seen enough of Marmoush our wide last season to know he isn't effective our wide and struggles to get involved in games.

He's at his best centrally, whether it's up top or playing in behind Haaland, He's excellent and making runs in beyond Haaland and getting himself in goalscoring positions.

I do think the fact we're having this conversation about our 4/5/6 best CBs is pretty damning in terms of squad planning.

Lose the 21 year old with world class potential because we can't sell anyone else and bought too many other players.
 
Mahrez comments are true. He said we have great players but they’ve lacked what we used to have in him, sterling etc goals and assists.

End product. None of our wingers I would say except Marmoush have end product. You can’t win a league on potential you need numbers. Mahrez sterling would bring 10 to 15 goals a season.

Sav Doku great players , great potential but no numbers or end product that’s the difference. I like Sav but Tottenham offering 50 to 60 mil he can go.

But you have to replace that with a winger that is the finished product and can bring numbers.

We do need that many because the ones we have will end up injured or out of form.
Let's keep Reis for the carabao cup and he can sit in the stands the rest of the year as he cant get on the bench.

La Liga TOTY, brilliant. Is that the standard now, someone was in TOTY two seasons ago. FYI I was often reporting on this lad when he was at Girona so please dont make out like I dont know anything about him.

Who fucking knows mate, footballers are precious petals. Maybe Pep shouted too loudly him at training or stole his shower gel so now he wants out. Seems pretty obvious Bobb is one of Pep's favourites and with Cherki joining hes probably thinking I could be fucked for game time here, ill bail to spuds and get a big wage bump and get myself in the Brazil squad.

We need to stop stockpiling 20 year olds if they all get sold to make room for 28 year old finished products you then can't shift 3 years later.

It's looking like the Txiki and Viana eras are not merging very cohesively.
 
I’d go test West Ham for Bowen. Probably be laughed at for that suggestion but he knows the league , has end product. Peps here for 2 years give him players that will provide now
 
He's not enough of a killer like Bobb is and I mean that in a way that he doesn't go for goal, he doesn't make enough happen when he is in possession and he doesnt get to the byeline enough and whip in a cross. He has shown flashes but I get the impression he is more interested in his image. Bobb made a mistake(underhit pass on Saturday) and he was livid with himself. That's the type of player City need.
 
What needs to be said?

It's pretty obvious Levy didnt just wake up yesterday and put a bid in randomly. It's clearly been going on behind the scenes between the lad, his agent and Spurs.

Nobody ever came forward for him because he cost too much, if they did then he wouldn't be here.
I'm guessing Savinhos name, along with one or two others, came up in the discussion's between ourselves and Spurs over James McAtee.
 
if we start o play Cherki as a winger for me it's a case of here we go again.. playing somebody totally out of their position and hoping it works. Haven't we learnt anything from Grealish, Nunes and Gvardiol
Agree pal, pep won fuck all with those players in random positions...
 
That doesn't have anything to do with my response which was pointing out that he has played plenty of times and was clearly a regular, something you said he wasn't.
Point taken overall. However in terms of premier league (not europa) 1744 minutes placing him 11th for a heavily injury hit spurs squad and equating to 12th when compared to our players.
We will have to agree to disgree in terms of the benefit of us signing him. Probably all mute anyway as my guess is we will persist with Nunes / Lewis or fill in centre backs there such as Akanji/Stones (unfortunately).
