Welcome Savinho | Signs for £21m on a 5 year deal

Generational talent!
























Well if the rags can get giddy about a cheese string with one year in L1 we can Lord it up over this absolute baller (that’s what the kids call them isn’t it?)

FOC:-)

We're really going all out for ball carriers lately. It's an interesting shift in style. Even the central midfielders we went for last year were that kind of player.

Can't wait to see this kid, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much, because he is still a kid. Having said that, clearly the next Ronaldinho.

Pep probably has a plan to overcome the low block. He never stops.

£21M for a player of this quality is crazy and we will be boiling even more red piss lol

Should read the BBC comments, boiling red piss overload on there and that’s even with the BBC usual thing of inaccurate pricing for us as it says 30 million not 21 though Rags signing has the lower fee and later says plus add ons

Agreed.

Both John and Manu are more than capable stand-ins.

Walker's form is a concern, he has been an excellent servant but against a tricky, fast winger eg Gordon he struggled. Akanji is a better more reliable option.

Welcome Savio, let's hope that you integrate quickly and show how good you are. Great signing IMO

 

[Trojan63]

Bye bye Grealish and possibly Bernado

It’s actually Saveloy.

OY OY

 

[Centurions]

Is this kid better than Bobb ?
Would be weird if this kid got a space in the squad and Bobb fucked off out on loan

Bobb's not a winger (similar to Grealish in that respect despite where he plays), I can see Bobb taking the Gundo role long term. Certainly more infield.

Interesting editorial slant on the BBC concerning this signing and the rags. These are the headlines:

​

Man Utd sign Yoro from Lille in £52m deal

Man City sign Brazil winger Savinho for £30.8m

The Yoro signing is just the headline figure and doesn't include any add ons which may take it to circa £60m whereas the Savio headline shows the total deal cost including add ons.

Clear and obvious!
