He scored three goals all season.

PSG just bought Illia Zabarnyi for 66 million euros from Bournemouth.

And?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He scored three goals all season.

I’m not completely against him leaving but he’s 21 and has plenty of time to improve.

not a big Oscar Bobb fan, bit of a headless chicken imo

Thats the last term I would use to describe Oscar IMHO

 

[oldius]

The club are developing an unsettling habit of selling players I rate really highly. Palmer, now Grealish and Savinho. Clear to me that Sav is a young player with massive potential who's shown glimpses of what he's capable of in a team that wasn't firing on all cylinders. I fear we're going to be watching Savinho highlight reels all season. It doesn't help that I'm not a big Oscar Bobb fan, bit of a headless chicken imo. Totally irrelevant what I think, but it's not a great place to be when you're questioning the decision making at the club, especially when you've been broadly supportive of the transfer policy (Kalvin Phillips excepted).

Having watched Oscar Bobb throughout the academy, where he won POTY twice, Bobb is as far from a headless chicken as it is possible to get - he is constantly looking for the incisive pass to a well-placed colleague. I speak as someone who would prefer Savinho to stay and compete with Bobb for his place.

They'll be back - Savinho is gone there or elsewhere - he doesn't want to be here it seems.

Watch us loan him to some tin pot Italian club for the usual Serie A loan "fee" of 10 eggs, a tin whistle, 2 kitchen rolls and we cover 98% of his wages.

It's OK ; panic over. We've told Levy to bugger off

it takes a while for news to reach Tasmania - I think you should retreat to your panic room again for a while.

Balotelli assisted Aguero at 21, peaked at that moment and the rest was downhill.

Balotelli peaked during Italy vs Germany in 2012 + he was lazy. Not a good example.

Ornstein going with the Jack Pitt Brooks line that the deal is off

 

[Skrastins]

Ornstein going with the Jack Pitt Brooks line that the deal is off

as of right now, they are still negotiating regarding the fee. Spurs bid 50mil, City want 60mil
probably will end with 55mil+bonuses

I'm wondering how anyone could watch Oscar Bobb and come to the conclusion he's a headless chicken. Even if you don't rate him, that expression has absolutely nothing to do with his style of play.

And the idea that you feel unsettled by the club offloading dead wood like Jack Grealish is pretty funny.

He Thinks Bobb is a headless chicken but thinks Savinho has massive potential???

Both have a lot to prove. But Savinho has been a let down for me. Very frustrating player. IMO.

Balotelli gets an unlimited free pass for his United shithousery alone!

No point cherrypicking other players at all is there.

Is Savinho better than Salah was at Basel and Bale and Soton, yeah absolutely. But how did Alli and Sancho do?

21 year olds can obviously have a meteoric rise or a hideous fall off.

fwiw the thing exaggerated in this thread is the weakness in his finishing vs the amount of assists he provides and the quality of his dribbling.

If he learns to shoot he'd be an incredible player. That might purely be in the confidence to not just make sure it's on target but to try and make it unsavable. I'd say even if he doesn't he'd still be a very good creative wide player (but not a goal scoring inside forward).

Can't see why he'd be worth less than Ekitike so 85m is where I'd set my baseline for value.

 

[RobinHood]

Whilst a lot of this is true, Khaldoon and Levy are actually friends and get on very well.

Our chairman knows how to dance.

Slam dancing or moshing with Levy at the heart of it.

We won't get anywhere near 85m, if he goes it will be around the 55m mark imo

We're getting absolutely roasted by buying clubs because we've accidentally bought too many players. Wild.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Spurs should be told he's not for sale and Savinho should be told he's under contract and staying.

Savinho also seems a bit of a mard arse for me whereas Bobb seems a lovely lad with his head screwed on, I know who I’d rather have alongside me in the trenches

Owen won the ballon d'or at 21/22 and went downhill a few years after. It’s not an exact science and doesn't always work out as you describe!!

 

[Calv_from_the_frog]

Savinho's crossing & shooting are poor BUT -and as Sir Mixalot would say, it's a big but - he isn't helped one bit by our (over)reliance on Haaland.

Haaland expects to receive the ball all of the time, and he also has 2 or 3 players marking him for crosses, which lead to our crossing looking worse.

Would I sell him ? Yes. But it's mainly due to the fact that I think that both Rodrygo & Simons are better players (if we can get either. If we cant then stick with him).
