gutted about savinho, that had the potential to take us to the elite.

Looks like Savinho is set to stay at City. We need an elite LW in order to compete with the top, top sides (assuming Eze is done), so where do we go from here?
Whatever.
Already mentally moved on.
If we'd have hit them with £65 + odd-ons he'd be here imo.
Anyway, next.
FFS someone started him a thread!
Maybe.
I think players are always or are often better in our minds than in reality.
Much as it would have been a good signing (and might still occur)), we may also be inclined to look at other options.
“Thomas Frank has been highly impressed with Manor Solomon in training and believes he has a part to play this season”
I'd like it if he played for us this season
I'm sure someone will be along shortly to educate you.
TBF, calling a 21 year old with 1 season as a bit performer in the PL who was primarily rumored to be interested in Spurs because he's nailed to City's bench "elite" is a stretch.
Neither the Savinho or Eze deal are going to get done, are they?!
Levy mugging himself and the fans off, once again.

Gonna be great when they get relegated again and Ryan fucking Yates is their talisman in league 1
And folks are talking about having them as our feeder clubno 0 from 6
Impressed at Leeds
Savinho is not worth 70m, thats right. And yes any figure above 60m you would be counting as a big risk on potential. But there's many factors that come into play when trying put a value on a players head.
Savinho HAS had a fantastic season as one of the best attackers in la liga for girona and put the ball in the net plenty, assisted plenty, and terrorised defences.
His first season at city was on the most part very successful for such a young player settling into England. Only 1 goal scored but city's highest assister and more than held his own. If he had come to the pl and looked terribly like Antony then fair enough but he coped physically, and impacted games he played in. IF had had bagged say 10 goalscwith those assists then we would be laughed out the park for trying to buy savinho from city.
Essentially he is a player that is just 21, having a big impact in the pl and primed to take off statistically.
That Essentially is what we're are looking to pay for.
City buying him from there sister club for around 30m is the same as doue or barcola moving to psg for around 50m euros and look how they have developed. We are essentially trying to intercept midway before he skyrockets because we saw a slightly unhappy player and an opportunity to steel in and grab a potential future world star.
Most spurs fans look at odobert and think hes got big potential, well savinho is that but next level. His touch, 1v1 take ons, dribbling, ball manipulation and crossing is elite for his age. If and when he adds the goals (and he will) then he becomes a player valued over 100m and more easily.
He is like the opposite to johnson. If somebody tries to take him from spurs we would want 60m for the goals he scores but as we know he offers very damn little else.
I hope we pay the money. We've all seen how frank has developed attackers brilliantly before and giving him a player like this with the ceiling and raw ability he has is crazy exciting.
50, 60 or 70m i couldn't give a toss tbh as its a player I wanna see at spurs for years to come. Theres next to no alternatives.

That whole situation is completely fucking stupid tbh, only we could turn getting a relatively talented player as depth on a free into such a monumental clusterfuck of a situation where he was loaned out last season because of his injury issues, only to then be virtually ever-present for Leeds, replaced with a player who then spent most of the season injured, and agreed to a grossly inflated loan fee for his replacement/depth signing virtually tying Levy's hands as he either had to agree some form of deal for Tel or write off £8m for possibly the most expensive and underwhelming loan in PL history.
And the most stupid fucking thing about all of it is the player we got first, and for free, is probably the most talented footballer of the three of them based on last season's showing and his time at Fulham.
This image is one of many he included within a post. I wouldn't read too much into it. (Because i already did).
