Savinho | City reject Spurs approach


Have you seen that? I’ve only seen a clip from the segment not the whole thing but on the clip I’ve seen he says Savinho to spurs is still “open” - it went out a couple hours ago but not sure if it was pre recorded. Either way, it does look done now tbf but surprised no city or spurs journos have ran with it yet.
 
We’re only fucking ourselves though.

Doing ourselves out of a truly world class player in Rodrygo to keep a lame duck.

Not worth it just to fuck over that bitter **** Levy.
Rodrygo scored 2 massive goals against City... there is no denying that and he'll always have that going for him, but that was 3 years ago. The subsequent season saw him score more but the next two have seen him score less each successive season and in 33 games for Brazil he's only scored 7 and assisted 1 time.

What makes him a truly world class player in your eyes? His output in a team that scores for fun and outclasses their competition by leaps and bounds has been not much more impressive than Savio's was in a team that was predicted to be relegation fodder.
 
Maybe Pep has been told that he can’t have Rodrygo so had told Hugo not to sell Savinho?
Rodrygo is not coming my guy
For a world class player he's got awful numbers. 32 goals in 172 league games.

Salah who is world class 185 goals in 289
Rodrygo is the type of player that will be heavily exposed when not playing for Madrid. He has no outstanding abilities.
Vinicius at least has pace .

He wasn't really one we were ever looking to sell was he, so maybe he just goes into the "was tempted to leave but couldn't attract the fee" bracket like Bernardo and Ederson.

I wonder how much is the fact we've never really had a young player we were desperate to keep poached for a while and we don't want to fall into that place.
 
Someone in the board blocking the deal just means a bid was rejected. It’s just all click bait whilst spurs ready their bid again. If they do.

I’m sure they will.

Maybe Rodrygo doesn’t happen but I’m sure Savio goes.

Worst possible scenario.

If Savio goes, you need either a potentially world class or currently world class winger back.

If Savio wants to go so much he’s training in private he’s basically gone, especially over a few mil.

More likely goes and we don’t replace as still have a lot of options.

Could keep Gundo here for his last year and use Bernie wide if desperately needed or even use Mukasa who will be around the 1st team squad if needed.

I get the Rodrygo deal may be hard to complete as a lot of money, dealing with Madrid etc. but I really think Savio is gone. Same with Eddie.

This didn’t happen to Bernie, didn’t happen to Eddie last year with Saudi, didn’t happen to Palmer when he was asking out, did Cancelo train on his own?

Not loads of examples because players don’t tend to stay after they’ve said about leaving/teams only really bid for players from City when they are attainable and on the way out as Mahrez said - there’s no where higher than Man City.

I agree he should be replaced but it’s the argument with RB. If there’s not a player that works just move on.

There are plenty of options.

Doku, Marmoush, Foden, Cherki, Bobb

Mukasa might get some minutes

It’s clear that Pep is all in on Bobb and should be so we are looking at a lot of minutes for everyone but Doku. He’ll get game time but for me is bottom of the list.

I think we'll largely play 3 behind Haaland to get the most out of Foden and Cherki so I definitely think we need a Bobb-equal on the right.

Plus can we fully trust Foden's fitness.

Rodrygo is a weird one. Puffs us up at every opportunity, I genuinely think if Sav goes he is there for us. Real putting all their chips into Endrick, Guler and Mastantuono might even be best for them long term.

4 of those ain’t even wingers. Pep is not going to field 3 10‘s at the same time we know how much that worked so the club intended to get 2 wingers in Doku and then savinho. Mukasa is another pure central talent who has nothing to do with savinho
 
It’s a risk keeping him, because if he’s shit again all season, we won’t get 6m never mind 60m, and we miss out on a seemingly obvious replacement.

Or it’s a stroke of genius and he kicks on and becomes a top player.
