Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

[johnny crossan]

Did he want to go at the start of the summer or did it all change midway through?

I remember his reaction after scoring a worldie against Juve - something not right there I thought

Nobody at City is guaranteed anything, Savio got lots of game time, if he wants to be at a club where he doesnt need to fight to play more than that's not the mentality we need.

The best players at every club are guaranteed starts. Or pur differently, some players are more favored than others. It might be their talent, or just the Manager's stylistic choice.

For a good player, it doesn't matter. You are best at a team where the Manager rates and believes in you individually. Mentality has little to do with it often.

What’s wrong with that

 

[Father Paul]

I don't think Savio has the speed of thought to make it as a top class winger.
Seems to be rushed when he gets to the money shot. That miss against Wolves showed that side of his game up.
I'm sure his game will improve with City, but the x factor ain't in him.
I'm not sure Rodrygo has it, either.

Wolves?

 

[WRicko]

He's put a lot of effort into exhibiting discontent - as far back as the CWC - I think it will be a case of persistence rewarded with Spurs over the injury barrel and Rodrygo waiting in the wings.

What has he done

 

[Dax777]

My feelings and thoughs here have been consistent all along.

I put 'no' in the poll above. I have zero issue with Savinho being sold for good money and won't be disappointed if the club can get an offer that makes it worthwhile.

But I'd prefer if we kept him. Over Rodrygo. If he is sold, I'd prefer him being replaces with someone other than Rodrygo, lesser known/proven, cheaper. Rodrygo seems a lazy option for me. Someone like Dibling, or another young winger.

Not replacing Sav at all is the only thing that would maybe somewhat concern me. I don’t think that affects Bobb's expected progress, and I think people throwing Mukasa's name, who habe likely never heard of him before Pallermo, are lost.

Whats wrong with Mukasa?

 

[johnny crossan]

What’s wrong with that

To me he looked like he was being consoled rather than congratulated.

 

[Coatigan]

Whats wrong with Mukasa?

Nothing, for a fringe academy player in the odd cup game.

To me he looked like he was being consoled rather than congratulated.

Consoled months before any rumor was ever even mentioned of him moving to another club?

 

[johnny crossan]

What has he done

In the Palermo game he was in grave danger of tripping up over his bottom lip.

in short, yes.

If we could clone Sane & Mahrez and make younger versions of them, I'd pay 100mil for each.

I cant find your quote in the post match comments suggesting that.

I remember the South American Football 'expert' Tim Vickery saying at the time how poor Savinho was with his final ball, in front of goal ,and other decision making and that he couldn't understand why City got him......not entirely wrong is he

To be fair, he isn't used to scoring so might have forgotten what to do

1st time he has ever been close to being right

Nice posi/negi response :)

Yep. They were fabulous

 

[burning blue soul]

Wolves?

Not Wolves, I meant the Italian team.

He might look pissed off because he could end up at Tottenham.
