Savinho

That was a free transfer though and it's not unusual for it to be kept quiet when a player agrees a bosman deal at another club while the season is still ongoing. That way it doesn't sour their relationship with the fans.

And I am sure we all knew he was coming before it was announced too

Could be. He's been a bit disappointing in the WC overall. Still a top player with a high ceiling.

Looked poor when I have seen him, very much head down, but not seem enough of him bar that so could just be a small sample

Do you think Nusa gets underrated because he's Norwegian then? Or is it just that his goals and assists in Germany and Belgium have never been that exceptional?

Personally, I think Nusa has a higher ceiling than Savinho, though there is no guarantee that he fulfills that potential. What he has is lovely balance, ball control and the ability to play the game, at pace, with his head up.

Said El Malia would be my number 1 pick for a new left winger if we're prepared to take a gamble on whether a player can adapt to PL football. Gakpo would be my number 2 pick as I think we need goals from the wings and Gakpo delivers goals.

Who are you referring to in the bold bit: Nusa or Savinho?

Yeah, he's normally way better than he's shown so far in the WC, although TBF I haven't watched him much at all at club level. He'll have to up his game a few levels to be able to get past Spence, IMO. Which he is capable of, but hasn’t shown so far.

Will be interesting to see Nusa vs Premier League defenders on Saturday night

What worries me about Savio being good at Girona, is that Anthony looked good in Spain and crap at MNU

My brother supports Liverpool and is very keen for Gakpo to be sold; red flag

Hopefully RdZ makes the right call
He might just play a wonky with seven false 9s

Savior drop of from Girona to City was stark
