Well I'm reacting to the report that City turned down 70 EUR for Savinho.I like him but wasn’t the price for him mooted to be just as high? Saw a €70m figure floating around.
He has finishing ability if his time at Girona is anything to go on, lots of very natural finishes with very good placement into the corner of the goal on several of them, and a few in packed boxes. 10 Assists playing less than half of City's league minutes counts for zero but his goal tally is seemingly the only criteria to judge him on? Akliouche only scored 5 in the shitty French league last season, he must be completely pony as well?Jesus scored 11 PL goals for the scum that first season.
It would take Savinho an entire Steve Perryman career to match that.
It just couldn't be any clearer that City wants to sell this player and that we have all the leverage here.
Daniel Levy in his prime would have paid 30M + Gray
I am so there with you on that, for a so called gung-ho attacking manager we were fucking dreadful to watch under Ange and I'd sooner see us give up 10-15% average possession per game to watch the likes of Savinho and Kudus operate in space.I'm not remotely anti the signing. I think he's really fun and I would enjoy watching him play the same way I have enjoyed watching Kudus play ... I am overwhelmingly pro us signing footballers who do footballer stuff and make us all actually enjoy watching games. Savinho fits in to that category.

I get all the concern with Savinho but he’s so fun to watch. We’ve put out so much dross over the years, I can live with a 7/10 effectiveness player if he comes with 10/10 entertainment
some people are baffled by the fact that good players playing together create opportunities, they understand football through stat sheets alone.
Proper bizarreIt’s fucking weird that people are complaining about a potential AM of Savinho, Eze and Kudus after some of the dross we’ve had to watch the last few years. Just three absolute ballers, scaring the life out of defenders. A defence and midfield with balance behind them.
This is true to a large extent, but finishing is a real skill that does not entirely generate itself out of a bunch of jinky little chance creators.some people are baffled by the fact that good players playing together create opportunities, they understand football through stat sheets alone.

Chance creators generate much higher xG chances though, much easier to score a tap-in in acres of space with the keeper beat than finding a way to unlock a packed defence by passing it around in a semi-circle ad infinitum.This is true to a large extent, but finishing is a real skill that does not entirely generate itself out of a bunch of jinky little chance creators.
When will people start to realise it is said wage structure that allows us to have such huge freedom in the transfer market - reducing our FFP constraints massively.
Villa have a huge wage bill but now cannot spend any money on transfers, despite selling a load of players over the last two years.
Some people really need to educate themselves on this subject, it’s so boring reading the same whiney posts about wages.
I don't think they are they just mention a figure Baldy?Not sure why people care so much about price. Just get them in here asap. Preferably Savinho first. Then maybe throw a cheeky offer at MGW with them adding McAtee. If no, then Eze will do.

This is largely moot since the answer to the question of "who's going to score the goals" is "Dominic Solanke", but it is still the case that a possession and creativity dominant team can find itself unable to score goals without a target man, and are especially vulnerable to opponents parking the bus.Chance creators generate much higher xG chances though, much easier to score a tap-in in acres of space with the keeper beat than finding a way to unlock a packed defence by passing it around in a semi-circle ad infinitum.
What was the game we did that.Someone on here mentioned it beforehand and one of the few games I watched they advanced to the penalty area and then stopped and passed sideways then back. Totally cluelessChance creators generate much higher xG chances though, much easier to score a tap-in in acres of space with the keeper beat than finding a way to unlock a packed defence by passing it around in a semi-circle ad infinitum.

It's understandable.
People like to idol worship and have a talisman. But some of the most effective teams in history share the wealth.
Take United's treble winners of '99 for example. Had zero players score 30 in all competitions, but had EIGHT different players score 10+.
