Savinho

? his two best attributes are his pace and dribbling.

If you were using FIFA as a reference (it's at least a guide), only two players in our squad are faster

FIFA is wrong, because going by official stats, a quick look and he doesn't feature, seen him plenty and not seen him pull away from anyone with pace
 
Always think for £60m that’s borderline world class player money and he isn’t there….
I’d have him at £45m maybe at a push
But as I said elsewhere the money isn’t the issue, getting the player the manager wants is
Of its Savio then so be it

The point I was clumsily making, is not our interest BUT the ability of City to get big money for a player that is not first X1 and one that City are not particularly positive about.
 
Yeah, especially when you can probably get Nusa for the same money. Twice the player Savinho is. Stronger, faster, two-footed and a much bigger goal and assist threat. And he's much better suited as LW, which is where we need to strengthen.

Doesn’t look like a bigger goal/assist threat?

He’s a step up on what we had in that position this season. But long term I think he will be a squad player and hopefully one of Tel, Moore, W.Barnett take that LW spot.
 
I think we all need to pump the brakes on Moore and LWB a bit. One has had a decent season in Scotland but nothing to make you think he can hold down a starting spot for a PL team, while the other hasn’t even played in a non-youth league at any level yet.

Both are a minimum two seasons away from contention for a top PL team if they improve that much, which I’d give them a 25% chance at tops.

It’s a problem at times for our fanbase - overhyping youngsters who then fail to go on and really deliver at the top level (see Winks, Marcus Edwards and Skipp as prime examples).

For the umpiet time, he's not utilised as he should at Leipzig. He plays a lot on the wrong side, or as a wide midfielder. When playing to his strengths, as in the National team, he's literally a different player.
And just looking at him play, it's clear for everyone not blind, he's levels above Savinho.

In 23 games he's got 8 goals and 10 assist. You could make an argument that it's easy to make assists when you got Haaland to assist, but so does Savinho at City.
Besides that, Nusa is a player that gets you off the seat pretty much every time he gets the ball.

As someone that plays fifa a lot. Worth knowing they have to over exaggerate any wide players speed otherwise they will be absolutely useless as the stat is the most meaningful in the game.

(It’s probably a big reason why some don’t rate Kane as well as his lack of pace means he’s not amazing in the game)

Sounds like the stuff of 14 year olds, rating or not based on video games
