Seriously if these two come off ....do we drop the cunt word when referring to baldie ...it's a tough one !
We need a lot more than those two.

They are the most pressing needs right now.

We still don't even have two good players in each position, and have never had it.

We still need a LB, another DMC, and an AMC.

And when that is done(will it ever happen?), we need to strenghten the starting 11.
 
Why would Barcelona let olmo go soon after buying him
And taking all that effort to get him in the first place
Is it another Barcelona financial lever
Not convinced olmo is a premier level player either tbh

Wow, I’d hate to live with your pessimism.

He played as a 20 year old last season, and had many eye catching moments.

He is a super exciting player. If you can’t get excited by the potential signing of him, you should go and support a new team.

We aren’t going to be able to buy world stars, buying such a talented and high profile youngster is a coup for us if we pull it off.
I’m not saying he’s no good or that I don’t want him. All I say is assist figures are only as good as the forward who puts those assists away. He would have more assists setting Haaland up as opposed to setting Richarlison up.

I love seeing gifs that just don’t say anything 😂
 
Savinio must know that he is behind Doku in the pecking order and be understandably unhappy with that. Is it a bit of a worry that he won’t stay and fight for his place?
I think the main issue around him and Pep, is Pep's VERY regimented attacking patterns. Savinho's game is his expressiveness, his unpredictability. I've still got a way to go to understand how Frank wants us to attack when we've got the ball but he has mentioned several times now in his interviews (when talking mainly about Kudus) was that he brings "unpredictability".

I guess if your Savinho and your are told the reason we want you is to be "you", be natural just do what you do VS having to be restrained within a slow build-up phases then it should be a no brainer. Maybe Doku is more receptive and more willing to rein in his game??
 
If by some miracle he can stay fit, it’s a great year for Richy to be around because he wants that WC squad.

But it’s honestly a bit crazy that we have sold anyone yet. Except Son that is

We haven’t been great at selling players for ages haven’t we. Paratici was bemoaned at Juventus for being the same. We all know why it’s hard to shift our players. Levy, over valuing, don’t pay huge agents fees. It’s the usual reasons.
 
Probably prefer Eze in the PL. Olmo is even older and more fragile these days.
Yeah at this stage I've my heart set on Eze and Savinho and despite refusing to believe we will get both, I'm now at the stage where I'll be bitterly disappointed if we miss out on either. Spurs always find a way to get me fully sucked into whatever emotional rollercoaster they have going on. I promised myself I'd take a step back after the MGW saga but here we are. Please get them done!
 
If it was a loan yes, but if we're buying him outright, no way would we agree that.
I would - he probably wouldn’t start anyway. It’s one game and an easy trade off to get a deal done. He will be available for 300 games after the deal is signed, bigger picture

These trivial points are exactly why Levy fails to get deals done when he has doesn’t have leverage. Concede on this, it doesn’t matter
