Just following the Ben Jacobs talking nonsense playbook to gain some internet clout
Sissoko was athletic and translated his skills to International football, so its not the flex you think it is.
Williams probably would adapt to the PL fairly well, but Savinho already has.
As more trickles out here, it's beginning to seem like the story is that Pep started Oscar Bobb over Savinho against Palermo last week and Savinho decided he didn't have the ironclad role in the team he wanted and asked to leave.
Agent calls up Spurs, Spurs are keen, but City had a high value on Savinho and this situation has come as an unwanted surprise from their end.
(Incidentally, this did my head in, Oscar Bobb is nine months older than Savinho)
Our aim isn't to win the treble so we won't be that efficient.Can you list those eight players and tell us who our equivalents are that can do the same ?
But Solanke, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Johnson, Maddison and Tel have all had 10+ goal seasons. Add Eze and Savinho to that list if they join.
Porro isn't shy of a goal either. Combine that with Frank's set piece mastery and we'll get some contributions from our CB's too. As we saw last night.
No disrespect on Sarr but he isn't creative, and if we don't sign Eze (or another AM) , he will be our AM, so its from that POV.
Signing an AM will allow Sarr to play where he is (and do what he does) best.
Can you imagine the meltdown in here, if we don't sign Eze and Savinho 
I mean sort of, he was thoroughly mixed last season as any normal City fan would tell you, hence why they're willing to flog the fucking bloke.
Some nice stuff, a lot of not so good stuff, plenty of potential. Williams would slot in to any side here and be brilliant because he's fucking strong, fucking fast and direct, and this league loves that. Antony can put up good numbers in La Liga because the physicality is about half as intense there.
Just out of intetest do you think we will get another striker before window shuts? Imo we surely have to.
Can't resist a bit of trivia, Dwight Yorke, Sheringham, Solskjaer, Andy Cole, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, uhhhh, Keane?Can you list those eight players and tell us who our equivalents are that can do the same ?
EDIT: LOL the underlying trivia question wasn't even true
Just saw a headline on football London 'Eze chooses Woolwich' but the article doesn't say anything about that, has there been some news?
Not disagreeing with you on Williams, he’s quality. But I’m also not on board with writing off Savinho as a bad buy. I’d happily take either.
The reality is we’re working with a limited pool of players who tick every box and are realistic to sign. Every transfer we make will carry some risk.
For me, bringing in Savinho is miles better than a lot of the signings we’ve made in recent years. If we end up with Kudus, Eze, and Savinho, that’s us moving in the right direction. It’s been years since we’ve had players like Bale, Dele, Van der Vaart, Lennon or Ginola. The kind that get fans out of their seats. Now we could have three of them in the same team instead of just one.
Bring the chaos I say.
Did read earlier were after olmo from barcelona.
Prefer Eze to Gibbs-White myself.
I don't think we will need to imagine for long.Can you imagine the meltdown in here, if we don't sign Eze and Savinho
You gotta get off that mate
Decent sideI don't know if you're right but just look at those players
