Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

And?

Well obviously if a no mark defender from Bournemouth is rated at 66 million euros then Spurs better come back with something around 70 million plus for Savinho. What else could I be possibly inferring ?

 

[oldius]

Not quite.

It’s from most people close to Spurs and City stating City have turned down a bid for him from Spurs.

Cheers. Hopefully the latest tweets have buried it. Time will tell but I would like him to stay and compete with Oscar Bobb and Doku.

 

[CityDE]

They want more money from Spurs. Of course they're not gonna say they're happy to sell Savinho to a rival.

If you're travelling from Prague to attend matches, then fair play.

If you're loving football through watching TV games, then it's a different matter.

I do both.

As a season ticket holder of many years, when I am in the UK (8 years out of the past 11), I go to games. When here, I don't get the chance very often.

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!!

I haven't described anything. I was merely contrasting the agreed price of a half known defender from Bournemouth with Spurs' derisory offer for Savinho - who should command the higher fee if a transfer goes through.

According to the ITKs Pep only likes Rodrygo.

So he doesn't love him then?

 

[Coatigan]

Am I right in assuming that the idea that Savinho wants out is just from a few tweets?

Not even attributed to him in any way!

More than you believe

 

[cleavers]

Not for me. Still love it.

I only really "love" City, most of the rest of it can do one, but that's been the case for many decades.

Same here to be honest but I do watch the occasional other match.

We planning on being close to the relegation spots this year then ?

 

[oldius]

Yes, but does he admire him?

I don't watch much that's not City these days, since we became "good", I rarely watch football at all, save for our younger teams and women.

 

[Snape]

I agree. It’s not encouraging for other loanees or young players to see a player sold after their first season, especially when that player clocked up more minutes than either Doku, Grealish, or even Foden. He can improve, true, but that’s also down to the coaching.

Maybe he is being coached, but just can’t put into practice what Pep’s asking.

Maybe he is being coached, but just can’t put into practice what Pep’s asking.

Then presumably he would have been given fewer minutes. We’ve also overhauled the coaching staff this summer.

Eccles is not that far to be fair

Wish I had known that was there while living in the UK!

The fact that it’s only spurs who are in for him, and not the clubs we should be competing with - Barca, Real, PSG, Bayern - is somewhat telling
Would rip their arm off if they offer £60m, as long as it’s reinvested

Having said that, if we put the following up for sale none of the elite teams would be interested

Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gundogan, Kovacic, Ake, Ederson, Ortega, Nico G, Bernardo, Nunes

so Savinho is not alone and unlike all the above bar Lewis he's likely to improve.
