Solanke had come off his best season when we bought him, and had played over one hundred PL games.

Savinho has made three starts.

City want more than we paid for Solanke, for a player who can't get in his own team as a starter.

Levy isn't paying that, and for once I wouldn't blame him.

More fish in the sea for a player who hasn't even publicly stated he wants to move.

I agree that Savinho is not worth £70m but he is worth more than Solanke whom we got our pants pulled down for IMO, £65m should be getting you a top striking talent coveted by other top clubs, thinking Isak, Sesko, Gyokeres who were all wanted by Europe's elite and all moved for around the same as Solanke. He's realistically a £40m player who had a hefty dose of English tax and shit market for strikers tax slapped on top. Savinho with his current ability and potential upside is definitely a £50-60m player.

Is Savio really that Good though? Surely if he has all the potential to be world class he would be able to force his way into Peps team? To me it seems a huge gamble to pay £70 million for Potential

Edit - I just read you don't think he is worth £70 million!

I bet Solanke scores more PL goals this season than either of those two.

Have to pay going rate for a huge talent. Could be worth double that if he turns elite.

Don't we need someone for the here and now though, or could he do that? Just we already have Tel and Odobert and Moore that we are hoping can grow into better players, £70 million should get you someone to start , is Savio that? genuine question as I don't watch enough of City to know.
 
“Akliouche!”

“Bless you”

:sonlol:

PS Has anyone heard from the TFC poster who threatened not to take a poo before Savinho was signed? I imagine he’s in a world of pain now, probably at the hallucination stage if my calculations are correct.

I'm pretty certain Sesko will get less PL goals than Solanke this season, they will have an entirely new front three who never played together prior once he slots in between Cunha and Mbeumo, I pray that Solanke gets more than Gyokeres because it would be fucking hilarious, and again might take him the first 3-4 months just to get used to the difference between PL and Portugal, but I wouldn't bet against Gyokeres outscoring Solanke just through sheer minutes played as it's looking for all the world that Richy and Solanke are essentially both our starting 9 depending who is in better form, I think Richy is actually a better striker than Solanke (more natural finishing, absolutely lethal in the air, really good at finding space in the box) but much worse injury record and not as useful off the ball so think we will see a fairly even number of minutes for both barring a Richy injury.

Trust me I will think it's fucking hilarious if he flops at Woolwich and I think there's a credible chance of it happening considering he's been stat padding in a farmer's league, I've said as much in previous threads, but I'm not gonna start counting my chickens before they hatch on that one, May next year when he's scored 6 PL goals in 3000 minutes is the time to start ripping the piss out of the gooners for him being a big money flop, writing him off after a shit debut against a pretty good Utd defence all told is just asking him to start banging hat tricks, Spurs fans are fucking cursed to eat our words at every available opportunity.
