Where are the goals coming from?
Well, but guys like Van Dijk and Alisson were very obvious #1 needs in those windows that they took care of with obvious solutions immediately.
Savinho is a sudden surprising opportunity that looked like a swindle.
Well, it isn't going to be a swindle. We can get tunnel vision or we can adjust.
I'm not going to sit here and bitch about us spending big for a talent exciting player if he comes. We paid too much for Kudus too, but you can't not enjoy watching the guy play.
But we really need to maximize every pound if we want to get anywhere in the aggregate.
Palmer is less than two years older than Savinho and has fewer career senior appearances
Unless it’s the player pushing for a move more and Pep thinks Liverpools window is forcing him to get an older star in Rodrygo.
Listen to the way Pep talks about Savinho. He absolutely loves him
Marinakis obviously doing well in the drug trade
Heroin is a steady, reliable market.
FFP not a thing anymore really is it
There isn't

Managing Tottenham as mega-money double transfer sealed and £20m star leaves
Tottenham have been busy this summer, but are expected to make a few more moves for some expensive transfer targets before the window shuts, having sustained some significant injury blows
One of the bargains of this summer. He will surprise many this season
The absolute scenes if we buy Savinho for 80M and City turns around and buys Rodrygo AND MGW
(That Palhinha smiley's a classic btw)
No, McAtee only had one year left on his City deal. That's the main reason for the low fee
I’m sure he’ll be selling dodgy bottles of ouzo in all those off licenses as well
It was never going to be cheap!
Savinho is man city's second most valuable winger, and sits behind foden as there most valuable bearing in mind that foden is not really even a winger and secondly foden is 25!
Man city has an embarrassment of ritches and we are taking a big asset, its going to be expensive!

He got the most assists of any City player, despite not being played in his best position often, only playing just under 1800 mins, only being 20 and his 1st season in the PL.
Yeah what will we do without Brennan Johnson at the back post
8 whole assists, 6 expected. BUCKETS. I dunno why people feel the need to go in to overdrive mode as a sales pitch on our targets/players. He's really talented but he was super hit and miss last season. He got some assists (he had fucking Haaland to cross to in the box!) but lost the ball a load, got bullied physically a load, and had the worst conversion rate in the entire league.
This is why City are ready to sell, but because he is still very talented and very good at dribbling and still had a great season at Girona (where less physically gritty wingers thrive, see antony), they obviously aren't doing it for cheap. He's good but not a guarantee. You talk of him having "way more potential" than that list but that's all it is, potential.
But we're only doing this in the first place because it seemed that City was happy to be rid of him.
We would never otherwise think we could buy a starter in good standing for City.
A player who by the way in his one season there saw them drop 20 points from the season before, to their lowest total and BY FAR their lowest goal output under Pep.
A team with Doku and Savinho on the two flanks can't score enough to win the title, and now they're mugging us off to try and solve the problem for them. This deal sucks.
They will both go in the 55-65m range and that is about right.
Not sure why people are running with the overpriced narrative. Have you not been watching football transfers over the last 10 years?
Once again for those asleep at the back: we paid 60 for Richy, 65 for Solanke and 50 for BJ.
Eze and Savinho are a different class to that bunch yet will transact at a similar price. The numbers are reasonable. Get it done baldy.
