So you must have clearly missed the part in your own copy&paste post where it says he played primarily on the left for Girona and got 19 G/A.
I have highlighted it for you hope this helps.

It’s not always a question of how good the analytics guys are. It’s how trusted they are and how much the club backs their judgements when they are unconventional. Famously Klopp wanted Timo Werner and Julian Brandt over Salah but FSG trust the data.

Completely agree on Akliouche being out. That’s just not going to happen anymore, you can’t feasibly play 3 of the same profile of player behind a striker.
I am wondering though, with Savinho coming in as an excellent crosser but not much of a goal threat, if Frank wants a big box crashing CAM to help with attacking crosses? El Khannouss doesn’t fit that remit too well (ironically Sarr does).
Agree on Akliouche but I just don't see it with Nico Paz - getting Zaniolo vibes
201K might break the marker.
We've all seen enough posts by himIve seen enough posts byShadydan .
If they sell for 60-65 million they would have made 30 million on him.
He can't buy a game because of Bob is not back and fit.
World Cup year coming up and CL footie for him to shine a light on Ancelotti.
Media says it’ll likely get done at £60m/€70m. Fans say « just pay the money ».
Unfortunately negotiations are dynamic. The selling club is always trying to receive as much as possible. If they quote a figure and you accept straight away then they will move the goalposts to squeeze a bit more from you.
Negotiations are a form of price discovery and a game. A prediction is not the same as a price.

Conor Gallagher?
Haven’t seen enough of Paz either really. But at least he has operated centrally not predominantly wide.
Gallagher would be great but still don't think we get him for the same reasons he went to Atleti, massive Chav supporter who wanted to avoid going to a PL rival, especiallly us "Spuds". By all accounts Ange desperately wanted him and can see why, would have been much better than any of our other 8s in his system.
Frank wanted him at Brentford, our top goalscorer from last season isn't becoming a 'bit part player' under Frank..
Savinho just adds strngth to depth in to positions.
Add a ten and we are pretty much set across the forward line.
One or two more to come in i think.
We really need to sign a fucking player so we can forget about that fat cunt, having the MGW failure hang out like a bad fart for so long is seeing us obsess needlessly over him as a fanbase and once we make a signing or two people will forget and move on.
You’re missing context.
Monaco didnt play with a 10 last season so the best place for him was RW. The season before his minutes were split between 10 and RW.
As a young player he was a second striker and 10.
He has definitely exploded as a RW last season but he has the experience and skill set to play in the middle.
I agree that initially reported 70 mil feels steep; however if it is as someone mentioned ~58 mil base fee + add ons, it is much more reasonable.
But Girona and City are clubs of same system. 25 mil (his reported fee) was never a realistic going rate for him. At the time of transfer his market value was 50 mil. And after that he provided 10 assists in EPL level with just 1700 minutes played (!) so even though his scoring return was poor, he still proved himself on EPL level.
Though regarding the fees involved - basically City is using this other clubs system to cheat the financial sustainability system. Scheme is simple (if you have truckloads of free money coming from earth, like their owners have) - buy smaller and thus cheaper club in other top 5-6 leagues. Stock them all with talented youngsters. Work hard on player development. Let them get tested in competitive leagues. And then sell to the parent club for 1/3 of the actual value. So after that parent club can re-sell player for it's actual value and report difference as pure profit.
I honestly don’t see us getting Savinho. We will have offered around £40 million and they supposedly want £70 milllion and not desperate to sell. We’ll be miles apart in valuation. But at least we tried 
The CL squad will be limited to 2 players (17 overseas plus 4 HG plus Austin as CT gk) - but there will be an additional probably 3/4/5 places in PL squad where the likes of Kulusevski, Madison may fit into if only fit from January onwards - if we play 60 games in the season, 45 - 50 likely to be for PL and domestic cups so they will get playing time.
