My quoted stats is since he joined City.
There are no hidden gems in Europe anymore now. Every major club knows every youngster with a rep.
Anyone Spurs knows, the others do too.
Most summers there is a UEFA international age-group tournament going on.
Adding that all the major football media outlets dish out these lists every season/year.

The ones that exist, we both already know, so the clubs do as well.
The Guardians list of best players under 21 had players from the arse end of Benin, such is the scope of scouting these days.
I've suggested Cancelo who wants out of Saudi.
Kind of my point mate, it's Savinho or his level. Rashford and Mitoma enter my head but Rashford won't be on the move until summer and Mitoma would take a titanic package to get out of Brighton (so big it may mean we can't buy anyone else).

It's why we should have gone balls deep and strengthened the team in the summer after the Champions League final when we'd made ourselves more attractive to top players.
Won a fortune scoring first goal in the semi final at OT back in 2001... he was 33/1 because bookies thought he would be playing at the back and he was actually playing up front. We lost the game but we had a cracking piss up in Manchester that evening...
Never been a claim that he's one of the best 25 left wingers in the world.On the contrary; Savinho is not a "now" player.

Some of the world’s elite players operate on the left, terrorising fullbacks both inside and out.
I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg, but no sign of Savinho fwiw.
I really like Robinson as a LB, but his injury record, especially his recent knee issues, which are serious...plus his ankles are dodgy too. So that makes it a no for me. But we most defo need to replace Udogie.
Got a hefty injury the other night I think.
That's because this year he's playing for scraps now Doku has come alive, Bobb is back from long term injury and they bought Cherki.
Unfortunately, we've fallen so low we have to be pragmatic and real rather than look at targets based on where we think we should be.
I read an article about Tel when he first joined on loan. He was often brought on as a substitute when Bayern had already won and the opposition were done. Also the level of teammates he had at Bayern vs opposition were massive. In short he was surrounded by a quality and dominant footballing machine.
I'm comfortable with it because I've come to terms with our place in the pecking order since the Eze debacle.
