Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

[skillman]

Or, you have a wild imagination.

Correct. But irrelevant.

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Maybe we were priced out of the Rodrygo deal

 

[rice10]

Personally a player who was happy to leave City and sign for Spurs is not for me especially after being given so much game time. Makes me question he has the fight in him to go toe to toe with Bobb, Foden, Cherki, etc. If this is true and he is to stay I hope he proves me wrong and becomes the player many on here see.

ballague has often tried to position himself as a bit of an expert on Pep but I’m not sure how reliable he has ever proven to be.

 

[blueparrot]

Pep will, not got the space for him and he wanted to go.

We do have the space if the plan was to replace him if he went. Not bothered one way or the other Savinho or Rodrygo.

 

[King Jay]

A source of mine told me that savinho is going to stay. It’s a very very deep source inside the club. All hail PSR

Sure romano will either agree or contradict him soon enough...

 

[Father Paul]

No problem if both he and Lewis remain.

Lewis it would appear would be prepared to stay and fight for his place not sure that is the case with Savinho. I have mixed feeling about Sav following this drama and my gut feeling is that it might be best if he left. Also I think he will leave if a genuine 70m offer comes in for him.

 

[bumbleblue]

I would rather he went now than stink the place out with a “sad face” .

Maybe but clear the player still wants to go.

We don’t freeze players out, it just feels like another negotiation tactic for some reason.

I expect there to be more too this.

If Sav did stay I’d be happy, he’s a good player and loads of potential. I feel like he’s at the bottom of the pecking order though. Bobb clearly favoured out of the two.

 

[richards30]

Not sure how Balague would have this info first to be honest as he isnt close to being first out with anything else?

 

[Coatigan]

Correct. But irrelevant.

Relevant when you are making stuff up.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Balague is less reliable than Indykaila these days. Be very surprised.

He's mentally gone already.

More than likely gossip from Madrid side

 

[bell_mcfc]

Very good point. We’ve got the best mouthpiece in football transfers on speed dial at the moment

A sulky Brazilian is not going to work his way back in with Pep.

Yeah. Pep said about creating a bad dressing room atmosphere in regards to players not getting minutes.

Maybe he feels that was an issue last year, maybe not and just a general belief.

I’d be amazed if he stays. More likely sold and not replaced than not sold on my opinion.

 

[King Jay]

I hope thats wrong.

Are you such a big fan of rodrygo?

 

[bell_mcfc]

Pay us more money.

If we are seen to be wanting Rodrygo it’s almost a sign of weakness and spurs may think they have an advantage on the fact we want a player but Sav has to go.

Every credible source said a 3rd Spurs bid was coming in, they haven’t been wrong about much of the deal so far.

 

[Gorbachev]

I would be very surprised if Balague has the inside scoop on this, but I do think we have priced Spurs out of the deal.

When you started seeing figures for €70m-€80m, it was inevitable Spurs were going to call it a day.

I do think Savinho will push for a move. I just cannot see him being a regular once Foden gets back because I think Foden rotates with Bobb on the right wing.

 

[Matt.D]

It’s clearly solid from Balague imo I know he talks bollocks at times but I reckon this is good info.

Don’t buy that it was city’s decision as such though , either spurs wouldn’t pay up or Rodrygo price was too high / he said no.
