Savinho extends his contract to 2031

Yet Pep and others think otherwise, people who have actually built, coached and managed trophy winning sides.

There are reasons they in the jobs they are in and a lot of us are here expressing just opinions
This is very true but even Pep and City make mistakes. Look a Phillips for example
 
I sincerely hope he comes good but in the meantime, i wish he'd stop his diving theatrics, it's fucking embarrassing
Every season it's a running joke between me and the missus as to which player I have in my doghouse- some seasons they come and go but for this one it's easy as it's Savinho.

He looks like a boy among men out there- his mincing around falling over screaming makes me angry. I wish he had whatever Ederson has in terms of grit- they must have grown up in completely different parts of Brazil. I'd roll with Eddy though the darkest streets- I wouldn't trust Savi to keep his milk money visiting a local kid's school.

I love to be proven wrong and I hope he does- but cannot understand how we shove a new contract in front of him.
 
Him to stay on his feet, to deliver a reasonably accurate cross, play an incisive pass or two, score a goal, make a good assist, beat a player, stop running the ball off the pitch, to be stronger in defensive situations

Apart from that not much.
You talking about some else? Here is me thinking it’s Savio!
 
No argument from me. Not flogging him for the reported 70m should be actionable. Nuts price.

We probably wouldn’t have been able to get the replacement we wanted. Having him an extra year (at least) also puts his wages more in line with the average member of the squad and probably stops him bringing down the mood in the camp etc.
 
I've been critical of him but was watching some of his Girona highlights and the problem is just confidence IMO.

Confidence to pull off tricks and first time passes, get past people, take shots on etc.

He's got all the raw ingredients just needs to believe in himself (and track back more)
 
It's hard to imagine many scenarios where extending a 21 year old is bad business. We bought him for £30m, his book value is £16m, extending his contract just guarantees we'll get a good fee for him whether he reaches his potential or not.
Amazes me that some people still think by extending a players contract will guarantee he is worth more.

Its actually the opposite he is so fu ck ing wa nk the more he players the less we would get.

I said much the same when we signed Raheem Sterling. I felt there was no way we were going to lose money on him, and we didn't.

We're discussing Savinho now though, and he's absolutely nowhere near as good as Raheem was when we signed him, and I don't see any signs to make me think he'll improve.

Just my opinion, but I think he's a lazy player.

You mean doing his job properly then

If he wants to nail down a starting spot in the side Doku is light years ahead of him on the left, Marmoush can play there as well. If it’s the right flank Bobb looks like he has a higher ceiling in technique and intelligence and Cherki could also play there as well.

The out put of our wide players has dropped off significantly in goals and assists since we had the likes of Mahrez, Sterling and Sane here. If the club wants to be competing for the big prizes it shouldnt all be on Haaland to find the net. I can see the club going into the market next summer if it doesn’t improve.
 
Of course, all those writing Savinho off are wrong.

He'll come good. I don't mean in 1-2 years. I mean this season.
