Seems SO cheap in this market......
Definitely an indication the buyback is low and/or the sell-on is huge.

Conceptually it can blur a bit into a glorified loan. That's what Nico Paz is at Como, really.

Portuguese translated to English most likely
Yeah people get cranky about all of Fabrizio Romano's schtick, but it's all just Italianisms stumbled into English. I think it's fun.
 
Savinho: 1 goal, 8 assists in a city team
Mbeumo: 20 goals, 7 assists
Gyokores: 39 goals, 7 assists

Sesko...you've got me there I'm actually sceptical as to his ceiling

Eze speaks for himself

I hope you're right and savinho develops into a top tier talent.

I'm not saying I don't want him I just think I'd rather see us pay top money for someone like Eze, MGW, Baleba or Wharton who I see as less of a "hit and hope"

Pay the money and let's get the season off to a flyer.
Kids got some serious tekkers, the double nutmeg at 8 secs alone would get the home crowd roaring. City are spoilt for choice and don't know how lucky they are with so many players to choose from in attack.

In alot of the clips hes sucking in 2 players at a time and still taking them out the game. He does that for us and we have eze edge of the box and kudus on the other side then teams will collapse. We would be frightening on the counter and I think most teams qould simply resort to sitting back against us.

Get it done Levy!


No end product
 
I will be interested to see how that number is reported, but I would bet it's less than 60.

The problem with a buy-back is that it completely eliminates the top 5-10% of outcomes, while leaving you with the bottom tail of the player not being what you'd hoped. It's subtle, but it massively fucks with the expected value of the deal.

We would be buying McAtee hoping to get the player than City would just steal back from us in a year.

There's a much greater chance Forest will be happy to keep McAtee despite City not wanting him back, that window would be much smaller for us.

Hence the mental buy back thing. You have a good point in it being a glorified loan. Just if he goes back, it’s then paying us for the loan and not vice versa.

Nah. I dont see it..

I think Forest will struggle this season.

You may be correct. I thought that last season though. Doubt they’ll reach those heights again.
 
Totally agree on this, I just don't see Savinho as that player.

Eze is that player, I'd pay 80 for him without breaking a sweat. That is THE guy.


He sold Palmer a year before buying Savinho, and in any event, selling Palmer was a catastrophe! He was obviously very wrong in scouting that position!

I get that you don’t see Savinho as that player but the point I’m making is that if they do, then I’m happy to see the conviction to get it done.

Maybe my dates were out on Palmer and tbh it was always Foden in Palmers way but still, they’d have known what they had with Savinho in their multi club system when they sold Palmer.

And really, Liverpool didn’t overpay on one player at a time. When they were serious about winning they’d get 2 even 3 players in a window, even if they had to overpay to get them.

Savinho got 2 goals and 12 assists for City in 45 apps; one in the Prem with 10 assists, and one in the CL with 1 assist. Also got 1 assist in the FA Cup. I’m leaving out the CWC that he got 1 and 1 in over 3 apps but Transfermarkt count it as last season.

You’d hope the goalscoring can improve but those assists show he’s already got some of that extra creativity we’re looking for in attack.
