I agree with Marmoush but not Doku. Guys a take on merchant, all he does is stutter step, this is his 3rd season here and he's exactly the same player we signed from Rennes he's shown zero growth or change. He's the belgian Adama Traore.

That’s naive. Your getting absolutely none of that bar new keeper.Doesn't have to be rodrygo we might have other winger targets.we also need defenders a centre back with pace who is ready now and a right back and possibly another defensive mid.

This one is dead. Therefore if, as has been widely suggested, we only had eyes for Rodrygo were Savinho to leave, the chances of Savinho leaving have reduced significantly.Doesn’t look like he’s ever really wanted to leave Madrid. Hope we steer clear, and keep Savinho.

Marmoush just isn't a left winger. He's a striker/second striker.Nothing wrong with Doku or Marmoush as long as we get Ait Nouri back in the team quickly.
Although to be fair he caused Spurs quite a few problems early on drifting down the left hand side of the penalty areaMarmoush just isn't a left winger. He's a striker/second striker.

Yes and if we have an overlapping full back like Ait Nouri, he can come inside .Marmoush just isn't a left winger. He's a striker/second striker.

Marmoush is ineffective on the left wing full stop. That was one of the lessons to take from the Spurs match.Nothing wrong with Doku or Marmoush as long as we get Ait Nouri back in the team quickly.

I don't rate Rodrygo. if Spurs sign Savinho I will not feel strongly about it as I think there's a fair chance that Savinho will develop into a very good player but I think he's behind 2-3 players at City.

Always best to use one match to take all your lessons from. Think I'll givie it until at least November when all the new players haved trained and played together when those connections with Reijnders and Ait Nouri who went off injured are better established a bit myself.Marmoush is ineffective on the left wing full stop. That was one of the lessons to take from the Spurs match.

Bowen at West Ham would be a good player for us, if of course Savinho were to leave.
He’s actually managed to look a good player in this West Ham team, so I think he’d be very good for us.

In the last two summers, we prioritised Savinho and Doku over players such as Bowen and Williams. Whether that was correct is arguably still too early to say. I’d prefer to give both another season and hope for improvement.Bowen at West Ham would be a good player for us, if of course Savinho were to leave.

Yes this isn't happening for sure. No point in selling Savio without a top replacement.Doesn’t look like he’s ever really wanted to leave Madrid. Hope we steer clear, and keep Savinho.

Don’t disagree and to be honest I’d be sorry to see Savinho leave as I do think he has a high ceiling, and his performances in the CWC - although a small sample- suggested that he’s adding some end product to his play.In the last two summers, we prioritised Savinho and Doku over players such as Bowen and Williams.

I suppose it all depends on how determined he is to leave. If he wants out and has a club offering big money for him then it will be hard to keep him.

If Spurs want him so badly, then they’ll pay the price, but they may not. If they shop elsewhere, then the club and player have to act professionally, mend the relationship and have the player performing. We’re already accommodating quite a few new players, so working with someone in their second year would be one less headache for the coaching staff, many of whom themselves are new.Don’t disagree and to be honest I’d be sorry to see Savinho leave as I do think he has a high ceiling, and his performances in the CWC - although a small sample- suggested that he’s adding some end product to his play.

I think the Marmoush criticism is sometimes correct but also sometimes unwarranted.Marmoush is ineffective on the left wing full stop. That was one of the lessons to take from the Spurs match.
But we need another option that’s for sure.
