Only catching up on this news now.

He’s undoubtedly a very good player, but is he not pretty much the exact same style of player as Kudus? He’s a right winger who is at his best cutting in onto his left foot.
In fact, I would argue you would struggle to find a player more similar to Kudus in the league!

Not against the signing, but if it means no new 10, no new LW, no new striker, or no new LCB/LB then I would have reservations.

No new LW? Eh? Savinho is a LW and would come here to play on the left

There's a dedicated thread for that, sweetcheeks.

On Savinho, if the rumours say Rodrygo is also available, which would be the better fit do people think?

I dunno enough about either of them as I only watch the odd non-Spurs game. I assume Rodrygo is more money but considerably more?

At Forest he often played upfront in a front 2. They built their attack around him and always had him coming centrally.

Under Ange, we always played him wide. His goalscoring ability is elite, the numbers speak for themselves! But he's bang average as a winger, in fact below average. His 1v1 dribbling is poor and he has very poor numbers for successful take ons. He also has a poor crossing ability where going low and hard is his only real option. Basically he is very very easy to nulify on the wing for an opposing fullback. They want to see Brennan out wide as he's little threat. And don't forget that we played with inverted full backs for the last 2 seasons so Brennan has always had to stay wide and hold the width for 90% of games which never suited his style.

However, if Frank plans to use him more centrally, either running behind Solanke or else in an inverted wing role (think Mbeumo at Brentford who rarely hogged the touchline) then we could have a really really effective player on our hands who can score even more goals as won't be stuck on the touchline trying to play as a winger during the game where he is totally ineffective.

So I disagree that he's gotten worse then he was at Forest. I think he's always been a very poor touchline winger and from now on he should be used much more centrally. I think Frank will get the best out of him. He's one player I'm not concerned about at all. I think he's the most underrated player on this forum.

Frank has played him left wing. Whilst I largely agree with you, I am not sure he will play him centrally. On the left, he will be a disaster

I guess Rodrygo earns considerably more than Savinho, and I can't see us breaking our wage structure for him.

Rodrygo is just a very bad fit for where we are. He is just too good for us and would come in with an ego and would automatically become our highest paid player. On paper it would be a great signing and most casual fans would prefer him.

But I'm much happier about us signing Savinho personally. Maybe it shows less ambition but we need to learn to walk before we can run and Savinho has all the potential to be just as good as Rodrygo. Realistically Savinho is is the perfect fit for what we need right now. Rodrygo would have been a massive gamble given all the money involved and the likelihood of him having little respect for Frank or other teamates.
