Savinho

[SpurMeUp]

We could go back to our feeder club and sign Bowen. Proven attacking ability in the PL. But he's normally played on the right or through the middle?

Not sure how I feel about Savinho. In 84 appearances in a dominant City team he has only 7 goals and 13 assists.

We need wide players with better production than what we currently have. Someone like Greenwood fits the profile (81 games, 64 G/A), as well as the production needed.

Doku is an ever present and apparently brilliant yet has 5 goals and 5 assists in the league this season - does that sound great in a dominant City side? It's all about what Pep asks of his wingers, it's not the way to look at things. Wingers perform differently before and after they've played for City under Pep....

Who's been saying that? it wasn't long ago that fans were saying he's useless. only becoming 'good' in recent weeks with vital contributions. I wouldn't take him at spurs for the exact reasons I stated.

Semenyo now, yes, who's scored 34 goals in the last 3 seasons

id take him. great numbers. We need difference makers in the final third and may have to plan for life without Kulu

Savio at his best was more of a wide playmaker than an out right goal scorer +although he did have good numbers at Girona). I'd argue the way Pep has used him is quite different to what worked for him at Girona. If the price is right (maybe a loan) and in a different system he might get back to the Girona style performances. We arguably need the creation as much as we need the goal threat.

It does depend a bit in what profile of striker we get, if it's someone who is more of a finisher than the creation from wide will be handy, if instead it's a striker who can create for themselves more than creation our wide might beess necessary.

And yet, if there’s one thing we don’t need, it’s Mason Greenwood.

Kudus left because of Bowen, so would be that to consider

as others have mentioned, Pep is very hit and miss with wingers. He's still only 22, very much price dependent, no way we are paying half of what we would have previously.
