I’m happy to keep Savinho, but all I’ve said that is if the money spurs were reportedly offering was true, I would have bitten their hands off and kept Echeverri.
I get the timelines didn’t quite line up on that but I don’t really see how Savinho gets games once Cherki recovers, Bobb gets sharper and Marmoush comes back.
I'd be happy to see both here for this season, Echeverri and Savinho.
Not sure why but our current squad seems to be due to a lack of planning or running out of time in the loans out/ transfer out side.
Very happy with the players brought in during the last 2 transfer windows, including the likes of Nypan, Echeverri, Reis , Bah etc. who are currently on loan.
Cannot understand why we left it so late to finalise deals for the likes of Gundogan, Akanji, Ortega, Philipps. With 2 days to go to the deadline no one seemed to know who was going and to where.
Incredible to think we have 4 keepers, 3 whom we have just bought plus one spare in Ortega.
Echeverri was loaned out reasonably early but even that was not straightforward, eventually leading to a loan to Leverkeusen, a team neither ourselves or Echeverri initially wanted.
Savinho being thrown in to the argument is a bit of a red herring as the Echeverri decision had been made.
Savinhos name cropped up when Spurs were discussing McAtee and Spurs enquired about availability of Savinho. Pep sees something in Savinho but he definitely needs to up his game.
We may see something similar again next year unless the more senior players future situation is decided long before the end of the transfer window.
Echeverri, Nypan, Mukasa, Bah, Reis will be chomping at the bit and expecting to be in a position to replace these senior players.
