"Thomas Frank indicated Savinho as ideal player."
Yeah, on Aug 11th. And when we need a LB, LCB, AM and CF far more than we do a new (young, unproven, big club reject) winger.
Need a 10 or two. Would say a striker but I get the impression we will have Richy for at least one more season.
I won’t miss that idiotic high line!
He’s basically the anti Johnson. Can dribble, take on and beat his man and cross but his finishing and goal scoring is poor.
Another winger though definitely makes me wonder if we might do something about Johnson.

Would be an excellent get. Smart clubs buy a Savinho. Dumb clubs loan Grealish. City don’t want Savinho to leave (however Peop never stands in anybody’s way), they want Grealish off the books ASAP.
Our biggest weaknesses were the technical level of our attackers and passers from deep midfield. If we get Savinho and El Khannouss, That solves problem 1.

Think you’ll see a very different Solanke this season now he’s not exhausting himself every week pressing like an insane person. Also the types of transitions Frank likes to create are very similar to Iraola’s where Solanke thrived.
Brennan has to stay around for at least another year, until a reliable goal contributor emerges from Savinho/Odobert/Tel IMO
That's 3 players who don't/can't defend, though.
Ok Savhino is waaaay better and has amazing stats on everything...... Despite not being much between them for their last two clubs.
You ignored the rest of the post where in the end I said they're not really comparable if they're not playing in the same position and one is going to hopefully be a provider and the other hopefully a finisher going forward.
And that Savhino as a provider of chances would be exactly what we need.
Okay.
I'm pretty sure people are just seeing Palmer do so well at the Chavs and hoping its the same for McAtee, personally I wasn't against the gamble before , but if we are expecting him to come straight into the starting 11 and have an impact thats madness and not for £40 million either. £25 million as a squad player then maybe
Savinho transfer makes sense. Tel’s less so to me but happy to be proved otherwise.
Moved Johnson on?!
How about we cut Tel and/or Odobert, two players who've done fuck all for us as opposed to a kid who, though limited, has scored plenty goals and got a decent number of assists?
We need players in now. If there’s still a sniff of going to Woolwich Eze will likely drag it out.
And how much of BJ's goals came from the fact that Ange's shitty system was set up for him to get on the end of things at the expense of our general play.
I don't see that under Frank. We require our wingers to be reliable outballs and to make things happen on their own. Kudus and Savinho do this. Odobert has potential to get there eventually.
I think Johnson gets exposed under Frank and becomes a bit part player very quickly.
So after we fail to land any of Mac City's Outcasts how long before we hear "Thomas Frank is looking forward to working with Bryan Gill and Soloman" 
The established world class players don’t see us as a destination. Stop dreaming and getting angry over totally unrealistic scenarios. We asked about Rodrygo and were laughed out of the room.
