26 | Savinho - 2025/26

I think hes quality. I think he's more up for the battle than people give him credit for and he could be capable of a lot this season after having a season to bed in.

If his finishing was good he'd be a world beater, but thats a big if because his finishing is so powderpuff most of the time (bar his goal in the CWC that he smashed in with his wrong foot that seems an anomaly at this stage).

Think I'll trust in the club with what they decide to do on this one but if we did sell him I think there's a decent chance it could bite us in the arse, but you could say the same about Doku and Bobb so that's the standard we're dealing with
 
Finishing isn’t something that can be improved (unless you are Cristiano Ronaldo, willing to die and sacrifice everything for your career)

Look at Gabriel Jesus for example

We need quality players and if Spurs pay the money he should be sold

Oscar Bobb has more potential
Rodrigo will be huge upgrade on Doku, as he is the only right-footed LW in the team since Grealish left

It’s smart move

Mohammed Salah has entered the discussion
 
He's quickly turning from a boy to a man.
He's going to be brilliant moving forward , when he first arrived he looked a bit lightweight but now he's had a taste of the premier league and CWC he looks a different player . He looks twice as strong and a lot more intelligent.

He's going to have a blinding season this year IMO.

I agree wholeheartedly. We all thought, man, if gabby Jesus just gets his finishing down, he’d be unstoppable. But it never happened, then it never happen med at arsenal and that was his job to lose. I feel that savinho is similar. He does some really nice things but that finishing is underwhelming. I think if they offer 60-70, then I’d sell. Triple the money spent on him and allow Bobb to step up. But I would like him to fight and earn the job. I think it’s a make or break year for Doku and Savinho. I think Bobb shows better flashes and his finishing is great. We don’t need a Rodrygo but I wouldn’t be mad if they got him.

I totally disagree on the finishing front that it can’t suddenly improve. We’re not asking for him to become Aguero in front of goal. He’s technically too good to not start striking the ball better when he’s worked himself into good positions. You only have to look at the pure strikes he hit the year before at Girona to see it’s there. Look at the improvement Sterling made to score more goals(yes his movement was key) but Sterling had a pretty poor technique when it came to passing and striking a ball and improved a hell of a lot when older than Savinho. Savinho has a much better natural technique than Raz to start with. It will come but whether it’s with us or not we will soon find out.

He’s a young player who’s had one proper season in the premier league. I think he’s been decent. Kind of feels like a waste that we are already giving up on him.

I don't think the club's giving up on him. We just generally don't stand in the way of players who fancy a change of environment.

Cristiano Ronaldo? This place just gets worse.
 
savingo clearly has talent but a huge issue with end product (lack of). Happy to keep and develop but if selling him allows an upgrade then happy to go. He is best off the left comparing his last 2 seasons but I cannot envisage him and RAN on that side. Not enough balance. Maybe moving him on just makes sense.

Yes we have loads in the extremely promising category but probably need one more heavy hitter to start. Easy to say with no comeback but could be the right call

I don't particularly want him to leave.

However until listening to Tim Vickery on Sky I wasn't aware that Savinho had featured in 6 consecutive internationals before being dropped completely after Ancelotti had taken over as Brazil Coach.

In a World Cup Year, and also given the prestige of the Brazilian national team (completely different to ours) Savinho will be desperate to do well this season, and might be aware that he'll probably get more minutes in a Tottenham shirt.

A couple of aspects I thought of. If Bobb and Cherki cover the right winger spot does it open up the possibility for Echiverri to stay and play inside them.

Also we have McAdoo coming through who is potentially brilliant and might get a game if things go well for him .

So a lot of options there

McAidoo could come from nowhere if he gets a shot in the League Cup or CL group stages. I think he's electric and our best current HG youth prospect, I rate him over Mukasa personally.

If he stay I hope you are right. But I compared to Jesus, cuz Jesus flashed so many things that we loved. Work rate, defense, pressing, getting into the right positions. His only but major weakness is finishing. Finishing ended up being his big weakness and the reason he was sold and he has never improved there. Sterling, as good as he was with us, I never trusted him in one on one situations to score. But he got himself in amazing positions and there is a reason KDB loved playing with him
