26 | Savinho - 2024/25

[Brightwell Bros.]

Just gave him a quick shave;)

I'd be IDing him for his WKD Blue now.

Looked good yesterday. He could nail down that RW spot. 20 years old, and £30m; bargain. Question, though; why are some (even some of our own fans) referring to him as "Savio"? Am I missing something?

Savinho means little Savio.
Just like Fernandinho means little Fernando

Savio is his given name. Savinho is a nickname.

He had "Savio" on at Girona, I think, at least referring from Google images. That's what everywhere referred to him as, media outlets and such.

Joined us and put "Savinho" on his back. His actual name is Sávio Moreira de Oliveira.

He had "Savinho" on his shirt in his first international, so he decided to keep it on his City shirt.

Curious to see what happens when Foden is fit and Gundogan is back up to speed (where Bernardo at RW becomes more viable).


I wonder if we'll see him on the left at all

Yeah, I've had several replies clarifying it, thanks.

Bollocksio

Bollocksio

I remember being adamant Ronaldo (R9) and Ronaldinho were brothers after a school rumour of ‘inho’ meaning little brother went around.

Was amazed when it was bollocks!

He is already our best winger, his IQ is unreal. Some have it, others don’t.

Love watching him, awesome winger.
Best winger we've had since Sane for me.

 

[oldius]

Steady on, chaps.
Welcome to Savinho - a great start: pace, trickery, delivery, and solid decision making.
Two games played, Ipswich and Chelsea, plus a Community Shield cameo.
The future looks bright.

Very good signing, great attitude, wish him the best.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Yikes!

Yikes!

Looks like the same issue he had coming off at Chelsea, where he told Pep it was something he was used to.

A little concerning really...

Very concerning. Three games in and he hasn't managed a full game. A recurrent knee injury isn't going to clear up in 10 days.

It will clear up because it will be all smoke n mirrors, just think Pep is resting the lad and he doesn’t want him on international duties.

 

[footballmanager]

he was complaining about his knee 30 minutes into the chelsea's match...then cleared to play, now out for 10 days..

 

[Gigant]

Missed him already

 

[skillman]

Injured? Odd one after he played fine last weekend. Hopefully nothing serious!

 

[alexmcity]

Savinho played most games for Girona last season. He's not injury prone. Guess he could have played today. Pep will give him the time he needs to recover fully and be in top condition.
