Fofana isn’t a Brazil international. Savinho is… that’s my point. Market wise
Paulinho also says hi
Being a Brazil international means nothing to me. Richarlison was Brazils number 9 at the last world cup and I've not seen a worse striker in a long time
We will never replace the commercial revenue that Son generated. Total one off, and thankfully he was a wonderful player and not just a cash cow
It means you give the club access to a huge market and global attention
Richy doing a bicycle kick at the World Cup was massive for our brand
And yet City are considering selling him after just one season
Imagine Don Fabio in a box with Donarumma this eve......
They sold Cole Palmer.And yet City are considering selling him after just one season
People are not very smart. It’s really not hard.
And in time they’ll prove to be worth it. No doubt at least one will be a top player.
It’s not really fair to dismiss Savinho like that. In his first breakout season, he produced 19 goal involvements in La Liga in a tougher league than Ligue 1 while playing for Girona, a much smaller club than Lyon. He’s also younger than Fofana, yet matched him for total G/A and still managed 8 assists in his debut season in a difficult league at just 21 years old.
First seasons are hard for any player, regardless of age, yet he adapted and contributed significantly. People always moan about Levy not spending, but then pick apart a transfer target who is already better than what we currently have and better than most we could realistically attract. The market is what it is — £60–£70m is the going rate for a promising, exciting 21 year old with a high ceiling.
Comparing him directly to Fofana and assuming he would do better ignores the context, the league difficulty, and what he’s already achieved against stronger opposition.
130 mill 
They wont get 68m once the clause ends. Limited market and have to sell this window + need time to spend the money
️There is a hell of a lot of people on here going to be disappointed when we don’t eze or savinho . It’s not going happen we all know deep down levy won’t pay the fees we’re signing neither .
Also savinho stats are amazing highest crossing percentile among players under 20 in his girona season and was a better dribbler then yamal
Fofana isn't anywhere near
Which is why they will be uber careful not to make the same mistake again
Or maybe they don’t have an issue selling a player if he wants to leave?
What did Eze say on Monday?
And yet City are considering selling him after just one season
They don't necessarily want to, he want more gametime in a world cup year to make the Brazil squad that has vini, rodrygo, raphinha etc.
Pep doesn't want player that aren't happy or want to leave.
Not that simple
That is admirable and the right approach....still I have doubts about the player and our scouting
Not interested in joining your misery.
Iirc Girona are part of the City group, so there is huge backing behind them.
Many players perform better in La Liga than in the PL. Actually the transition from Ligue 1 to the PL has proven more successful over the years
