Savinho is well ahead of both Elliott and Mcatee in terms of development.Do find it quite funny how Elliott and McAtee are adjudged to be “young players with loads of potential” despite being OLDER than Savio.
Just the way English press and media are. Savinho tore up La Liga at age 19 in his first full season away from Brazil, that’s not normal whatsoever.
"Title race" they finished 14 points behind top mate.
La Liga is a bit arse. I'm fully convinced Doku would hit double figures for goals and assists there - someone really fast and direct with good dribbling can tear defences apart, so much of the league is unathletic and susceptible to good 1on1 players. Rashford is going to do work too.
Pep definitely uses his wingers differently but he was never going to translate what he did at Girona to the premier league straight away.
Fuck Pep
Girona was actually in title race till Feb 2024. They lost 4-0 to RM and it widened the gap. They did finish close to 3rd by end.
Laliga may look easier...But the context you need to look is
i) Its not some Sevilla or Betis or Villareal who have those odd seasons... Girona had never done this before.
ii) It was first full pro season for Savinho at 19... that too for Girona
This context matters here. This is not some player who did it at RM or AM or Barca. He terrorized defenses playing for a mid or lower table.
Under Pep, it didnt suit him but he still ended up with 10 PL assist in 1700 minutes. Even by City standards , this is a very good return for a winger in PL playing in first season
Does Kudus even play as a 10 before? Honestly I wouldn't think Kulu can work as a 10 when he's back because we have tried to some extent before and he couldn't make it IMO. Sarr to me also was a failed experiment in pre season as a 10..
Rodrygo is a much better and more well rounded footballer right now than Savio. This isn't a debate. City will be getting a significant upgrade and we will be getting a very talented dribbler who had one very fun season at Girona and then showed flashes at City.
It works for everyone .. he's better off the left which is where I assume we play him (we need a 10) and that's what we need because our left side is weak as piss.

It's Mercato Bayern on X... no idea how reputable.Is this press reporting or just what fans are saying? Because I've seen no press indicating this, only fans on the Bayern Reddit?
Agreed. No dithering.I hope so but can see the club fucking around with it. The player clearly wants to go.
Pal, I like you and think you're a good contributor to this site, so I'm gonna say this nicely.I know its nice to blame it all on Levy and suits our narrative but I do think that forest owner is a dangerous piece of shit. He's a gangster hiding behind a football team.
I don't think we fucked up at all int that MGW deal. I don't think we did anything illegal. I just think that forest owner always gets what he wants and MGW was told he can't leave and he wasn't going to take on the mafia.
