Savinho

[thfcsteff]

He would be great on the left but it’s not the norm now (as he is left footed)
What I like about him is he plays with control rather then the headless way Doku plays

I think you'll see him on the left a fair old amount, and given his versatility, yes, off the right sometimes too...

TBF Savio isn’t a cast off because they want to keep him
The sancho one was mad because that was a deal we should have done with the Walker sale
Palmer had agreed terms at Chelsea a long long time before he joined them I’ve been told

I'm not even calling him a cast off, I was talking more wildly. Cast offs can still be a good option to go for. Like Ozil was 100% cast off but he was also a fantastic player (Arsenal bias aside).

City will happily keep Savio unless they get an offer that they think they have to accept.

Been some rather good deals from City to other big clubs. Palmer obviously, but Zinchenko and Jesus did well for Arsenal, though not stepping up to that level you describe we need. Milner to Liverpool another one, perhaps not great/elite, but became a very important player for them. Lavia went to Southampton so not a big club, but fantastic player who imo would have been good enough for someone like us. Not to the PL, but Julian Alvarez too.

They sign so many quality players they're kind of forced to sell some really good players.

Also a difference between signing someone probably getting to their peak and a younger player like Savinho as you say.

Yes age is the determining variable it seems. Far better to get a Savinho Palmer or Lavia than a Grealish, Zinchencho or Jesus. The older players are ‘proven’ squad player quality, the younger ones it’s all to play for. Who knows how they’ll kick on.
