Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

He's a talented player who is yet to show it in more than flashes, which goes with being young, to be fair. But haven't really warmed to him on account of his readiness to tumble over in the box trying to con refs to give penalties.
 
If you genuinely think this then no academy player will ever have a chance of making it at the club.l

1. We are negotiating to sell a young player contrary to our stated policy. We have recruited and sold scores of players in the last few years.
Chelsea have sold £250m worth of young players in the last three years.
Players move round CFG at the groups insistence. Savinho has been on the books of three CFG clubs at the age of twenty, staying on average less than a year at each.
2. City no longer have a CEO but get the crumbs of time from the CFG CEO.
Executive Bonuses for City performance go into a separate company in the group.
Our board has no reps of the club or football specialists and meet in AbuDhabi apart from the legal requirement re financial votes.
Our legal cases are handled by lawyers acting for CFG.
We recently put up ticket prices well beyond the means of many Manchester based supporters and had to back down.
The blue wall that the chairman waxed lyrical about has been junked in favour of corporate income.
3. Have a look at Barcelonas ‘levers’.
4. Several clubs have sold assets within their group in order to meet PSR.

These are the actions of commodity traders.
What more evidence do you want?
There the actions of a hugely successful operation both on and off the pitch that every man and his dog is trying to copy
 
Bobb is ahead of him, also Doku can play both sides, Good business
Based on what exactly??
A couple of starts and a few sub appearances more than 12 months ago, before he broke his leg!

I mean, Bobbs turning into some sort of mythical football player.

He's had 17 appearances for city and scored 1 goal. That's it. Most of those off the bench.

Its just bizarre that everyone talks him up into some Angel Di Maria Wonder kid and should start for a new look city side.

I would sell him without batting an eyelid. This guy can't even find a goal from 10 yards. Rodrygo would be miles better instead.
Not too bothered about Sav going as long as we get a hood price. Don't want Rodrygo. He would bring that poor attitude that most madrid players have with him.....
 
I think the better winger has went out on loan to Everton. Bags of potential but not there yet with Savinho. Need players ready to help win titles now.
The better winger who couldn’t score once in a year. Yeah aight

It's Simple, City and Pep don't have time for any player to settle ? You have to hit the ground running or somebody else will take your place, Savinho has had many chances but failed and when a player just stops playing thows his arms up because he feels he's been fouled then sorry your done

Maybe but what is the stated corporate goal of CFG for City? Answer is not ‘winning trophies’, that is a means to an end. What end? What is the CFG Mission Statement?
If decisions are taken purely on financial criteria with no corporate goal to feed, that is commodity trading, which Incidently is why US equity funds have piled in.
This article is worth reading.

Based on his coolness against Newcastle When City needed the win and KDB found him and he did a bit of magic and scored the winner

You shouldn't read too much into mission statements - Fuji's was "Kill Kodak" and look where that got them ;-)
 
Wish I could create a poll for this, but would you sell Savinho for £55m, and buy Rodrygo for £95m, or just keep Savinho?
 
Should be given one more chance. As it has been mentioned Spursy will low ball us and it is similar situation to when we offloaded Cole Palmer to Chelsea. There are other squad members who should be moved on. Next season would be the right time to move him on if he hasn't established himself.
Agree. It looks as if we cannot shift the others and Savinho has drawn the black spot.
