Bobb is incredible imo.
Last pre-season he was sensational and then broke his leg and missed the whole season, bar a couple cameos at the end iirc.
Come back and seems to have more or less picked up where he left off.
But Savinho is still top, top drawer potential and a genuine threat with a whole bag of tricks and turns to get in behind and cause havoc for defenders.
With further development will be lethal.
Anyone not wanting him - especially the situation we're in - just can't watch football at all.
Or shouldn't.
Good reminder of who you could be arguing with on this forum.

What could possibly go wrong at this stage?
Hopefully he/they get spanked out of Europe in the league phase.Mr Marnakis gets what Mr Marnakis wants
You (originally): "How could they offer anything when there was noone to talk to."
Evidently offers WERE made.
Fuck all that waffle from a bitter, sulking Guardiola.
How many city games did you watch last season?

It’s moving pretty quick.
City wanting Simons would make sense as the reason a deal could happen because Pep clearly wouldn’t let him go if he wasn’t getting something back from the club

You just know Levy has called up and said ‘we’re interested in your left footed wizard with big hopes of securing a World Cup place next summer’ whilst smugly armed with £20m in £5 and £10 notes, and Man City have misunderstood and thought he meant Savinho, mentioned 70 million and now he’s passed out somewhere near the F1 track.

City already lining up their replacement, hopefully this all gets done fairly quickly
There isn’t a better 10 on the market for them to flip to though
Yep and the other shoe finally drops.
This is a win-win deal for both sides. I think Savinho here would honestly be better for us than he could ever be for City
Spurs have been in squad rebuild mode arguably since 2021 when we bought Romero (or loan to buy) and, just like most other clubs are buying maybe 5 players a year so it takes about 5 years to get to a squad of circa 25 players
One key thing, often over looked by fans is player availability - eg some years no good GK's are available, other years a decent choice , Not to mention clubs often follow players for a couple of years before buying - David Pleat for example looked at son whilst he was at Hamburg whereas we bought Son from Bayer Leverkeusen about 3 - 4 years later.
Mourhino wanted a few players - with a DM being a key player for him, hence we bought Hojbjerg.
The average tenure of a PL manager is under 2 years and with a squad of 25, it should be no surprise the vast majority of players in the squad may not be their ideal players - but their job is to use the players they have. Sure they will influence players bought in next window but they will for the most part be dealing with other manager's preference for years - often leaving before even a third of players in squad are his choice..
Nothing amazing from your list. That's how the life of a football manager works at all clubs
Will always be a bigger club than them though. Money only gets you so far.
This won't become a soap opera?
Do they not know who we are?
And Rodrygo never a serious target for us.
