26 | Savinho - 2025/26

He seems to be getting a bit better (not that he could get much worse) I think if we get Semenyo it will take a lot of pressure off him and coming off the bench against tired defenders might improve his confidence. Hopefully anyway

You need 25 players with what could be 66 games or so in all comps.. starting 11 is just a part of it now.

He would start every domestic cup game except maybe the semis and final; and potentially some of the easier champions league games. Plus fill in if one of the other 2 is injured + impact sub. Not a bad role at all given we play 60+ games in a season
 
I actually reckon Spurs will come back in for him.

They were in the mix for Semenyo and obviously rejected. They have just agreed a fee with Palace for Johnson.

Let’s be honest his performances don’t match that of a 70m player. I think if we can get that we are laughing.

Yes he has potential but how many players have been moved on because they aren’t ready now.

He has looked better last few games.

We not selling him and we need him! He is 21 and now we getting Semyno who is the experience winger Savino can ease backin to our squad

We definitely need him to play minutes so others can rest but it’s a real backwards way of looking at his position here.

He doesn’t really offer anything.

I agree that he’ll stay.

He offered something of the bench last 3/4 games his long cross pass to Haaland ended with pressure from us in Forest half that lead to a corner then another corner where Cherkie scored
 
At the moment, I feel he's a good outlet ball when we're trying to close the game out and the opposition are pressing further forward. His quickness is very useful against the tiring fullbacks.
Would I trust him against a low block, to turn a game around in which we are losing? Not sure

The more he plays the better he’ll get and more confident.

We could easily have a much better player in the squad but he serves a purpose and we won’t be changing loads in Jan.

Any player should be able to apply that pressure let’s be honest.

'He doesn't really offer anything.'

Sorry, but that's not true and such a negative way of looking at one of the squad's youngest players.

He's had a slow start to this season but that's no need to write him off. Pep rates him so I imagine he's working hard to improve behind the scenes and his last few cameos have been promising.

Having another goalscorer in the team will benefit him, as ultimately his biggest strength is creating chances for others.

I stand by my point but happy to support him. In reality he's going to be what 5th option now behind Doku, Cherki, Foden and Semenyo.

I just think his value is a little odd. If someone was to bid 70m for a 5th choice why wouldn't you take it. Thats the same for any club.

I guess he's 5th choice if we have a fully fit team and we're sticking to the same formation structure. But if we're looking for genuine width and an alternative system he suddenly jumps up the list. Hence why he's having a great impact as a sub with licence to go 1v1 and take us up the pitch.

I'm also assuming that Pep / the club see him as someone who could develop into first choice. Following a similar path to Doku who took two full seasons to become consistent.

If he can reach those expectations then he'd be worth way more than 70m. If he scored a few more goals I don't think anyone would be worried about him, and I can almost guarantee he'll be practicing that every day.

Doku, Semenyo, Savinho will be the only true wingers in the squad. Good mix of roles and ages. Foden, Cherki, Reijnders will always largely play as attacking 8s.

See Semenyo more as us giving up on Bobb than anything else.

Curious where it leaves Marmoush. Seems like he's only really Haaland back up at this point.
