Hope so! we need to change as its been worked out and Rodrygo would be vital to that.
He respects City, Pep apparently really rates him, he can operate across both flanks/middle and up top and the biggest factor for me is he can do it in big games.Got to the point now where I’d e gutted if we didn’t sign rodrygo. Always really rated him and I’m not convinced savinho is that good tbh!!
Reminds me of Ferran in that sense. 20 and already looking for a move? Not a good sign.We could build a team around him. Savio will end up in Spain at some point anyway
Suspect he'd play on the left, Doku and Marmoush would have to either switch to the right and perform or become rotation/back up.Isn't part of the reason Rodrygo is willing to leave Madrid that he wants to play on the left, and Vini Jr plays there?
If he's to replace Sav, he'd be playing on the right here too?
We might want to get rid but don’t want that narrative out there.Ornstein and Pitt-Brooke could both both be right. Dialogue could have been right
Spuds: We'd want Savinho and will pay £40M
City: Not interested
Spuds: OK £50M, final offer
City: Fuck off Levy, I wouldn't give you the pickings from my nose
We have Cherki/Bobb/Foden who can cover the right. Hence why Savinho is going (potentially). With Rodrygo/Doku/Marmoush to cover the left (Grealish also gone). Albeit Rodrygo can do a job all across the front line. Cherki/Foden/Marmoush can play more central alsoIsn't part of the reason Rodrygo is willing to leave Madrid that he wants to play on the left, and Vini Jr plays there?

Yeah this really opens the door for Marmoush to play behind Haaland as we know he’s not a winger.We have Cherki/Bobb/Foden who can cover the right. Hence why Savinho is going (potentially).

That sounds reasonable. I would hate to help Spurs, we would really have to screw them and that isn't going to happen with Levy. So could well be right that Sav wants out, we don't want an unhappy player and are publicising this offer to garner interest from other, more reasonable clubs whilst giving us time to find the best deal for a replacement.We might want to get rid but don’t want that narrative out there.
We’ve struggled to get rid of the players we apparently wanted to move on.
All very strange the word is Sav has agreed to it etc. as well.
Basically we either want him gone/want to upgrade the player in the squad.
Something definitely has happened in my opinion. Spurs aren’t a team that when they come knocking City are open to selling a talented young player and he’s immediately ready to jump ship.
I think City would be comfortable to let Savinho go if we could bring in Rodrygo, at least I would be happy with that move. I don't think Rodrygo's stats are that exciting but I think he is more advanced at the moment than Savinho.We might want to get rid but don’t want that narrative out there.

I know Levy/Spurs were one of the clubs that really tried to hurt us years ago and then you have the whole Kane saga as well but as a club I truly think we’ve moved on.That sounds reasonable.

Agree. Obviously analytics play a huge part in unearthing talent these days but the eye test is still the one. Especially for buying an already established player.I think City would be comfortable to let Savinho go if we could bring in Rodrygo, at least I would be happy with that move. I don't think Rodrygo's stats are that exciting but I think he is more advanced at the moment than Savinho.
Marmoush Haaland Rodrygo
Would be similar to the dippers three striker system with Mane , Salah and Firmino
3 players who like to cut inside and can finish. Haaland being the link up up front. Doing that the front three are then fluid and move around instead of sticking to the wing. Then Nunes and Ait Nouri can bomb on down the wings.
Watching pre season we were starting to see that come into shape. Bobb , Marmoush were not staying wide they were cutting inside at every opportunity
