Savio | Joins City

[Silva2021]

Dont think I would be happy if I was a Troyes fan, they are just about the relegation zone in Ligue 2.

But surely the question is why have we loaned our best player out??

Being brought by City is just development of that.

The work permit issue wasn’t a conspiracy theory. He just didn’t accrue enough points for him to get one with us.

Villa got it over the line as Luiz was in their top bracket of earners, meaning he got the extra points he needed to pass.

The process has changed now and it’s easier to get a permit now.

Not sure he was in their high earners. Think it was more to do with the fact that, on appeal, they were able to convince that he would be given more game time.

Course it’s easier, you just claim to be a health care worker, or say you’re becoming a Christian…

Fee was the main kicker, he was top 3-5 or so record buy for them at the time.

Yes, fee as opposed to salary.

I've only seen clips of Savio, but from what I've seen of him he's not at our level. I can see us buying him to secure his services, but leaving him on loan at Girona for a season or two.

I can't see him starting out wide ahead of Doku, Bobb, Silva, Foden or even Grealish at this stage.

From what I've seen I think Savio starts ahead of Jack

Every thread turned into fucking shitshow whenever Grealish is mentioned.

Fixed that for you.
BM is a funny old place sometimes.

As the oddballs post above proves.

If Savio is easily good enough to play for City now, he wouldn't have to worry about game time.

To say he might be worried about game time, suggests he's not ready to command much if he were to arrive here now.

Admittedly, what I've seen of Savio is very limited, hence why I think we both agree a purchase to secure his services, followed by a two year loan to Girona might be best for him.

Jack Grealish is good enough for City but he's definitely worried about game time right now. It's about too many players in the position, not about the quality of the player. Savio could slot into City right now, easily, but it's about whether there are enough minutes to go around for all of the players and the answer is there is not.

Think Jack will be fine tbh, clearly has a skillset that doku/savio dont have and vice versa.

Bobb learning to play out and out on the left is probably a bigger threat to him imo. (with the system as is, can see it changing again looking at the rumoured target list)

Your first sentence is it in a nutshell.
We should be grateful that we have players with all different skill sets because they all come in handy over the season.

Not on here though, no, no, no.
At least one player has to be fucking shite otherwise they’ll have nothing else to post about.

CL starting again, would not be surprised to see Jack right in the mix for those starts.
