The face of a man who is going to be paid £7m for 39 days for work😭

@hbrooks_coach @georgeachillea This is why i respect your opinion so much. Honesty and humbleness.

@georgeachillea Love your detailed analysis mate. It doesn’t matter if I’m a coach mate, there are some brilliant opinions out there from people who don’t work in the game. It’s just my opinion , it’s all subjective!

I can’t lie Harry I think I disagree with your take on Savinho overall Granted you’re a football coach and I’m not so I’m 100% willing to accept I could be wrong here 😂 But I’ve watched a lot of full 90 minute matches from Savinho at Man City and Girona both playing LW and RW in preparation for my video on him and I saw someone who: - Is an extremely intelligent player when it comes to understanding space whether that be his position in relation to receiving a pass or creating separation from his opponent - Reads the body language of his opponent very well and can even manipulate his movements - More versatile than his time at Man City suggests - at Girona he’d start out wide but very very often would drive centrally in tight spaces and still get out of it - An EFFECTIVE dribbler who took his man on when they took the bait and changed defensive position - otherwise passed back to hold onto possession - When playing with Cherki he changed from a player wanting to receive short to a more direct winger running in behind fullbacks because he knew he could receive the difficult pass more often The more “negative” takeaways for me were: - Long passing accuracy wasn’t great - Sometimes held on to the ball too long if driving into loads of space - Shooting quality wasn’t great, even when he scored more at Girona it was often tap ins from keeper spills or just not great keeping in general from longer range - On the RW specifically he is too predictable and favours cutting in onto his left more than anything - Sometimes too weak if he received with his back to goal (probably why he likes receiving so wide) To me a lot of his attributes are very threatening but mostly from the left hand side. Still a lot to work on but I don’t personally see him as someone who offers “very little” Keen to get your thoughts on this as I’m genuinely curious to learn 😅

He wouldn’t even shake your hand, mate

#thfc Understand this is not the position at the moment at all. Jamie one of the few players who had been out on loan last season who is continuing to train with the first-team and not the U21s and RDZ appears to rate him.

@Lilywhite_Rose Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing 👏🏾

@YedIin Thanks for sharing. Also in one of the best shows this decade.

The best performance from a Tottenham fan in The Odyssey surprisingly isn’t Tom Holland

@SwedeStats No.

Would Newcastle even be a good move for him?

@evanisaaclipkin I don’t agree. He’s a 20y old with a European trophy win and 2 PL seasons under his belt. Multiple clubs want him. One of the most sought after young players in football. We got 52 for a player who had no other suitors and never played a minute in the PL. That’s the bar now

@simonyemane I think he's gone as soon as someone hits 50m. That's a great price for Bergvall imo.

I’ll be the last one to believe this will happen. Just too much potential to let go of this early imo

@vij_ara Never tel anyone not to hold on to hope. L we have in life lol

@simonyemane Don't hold onto any hope. Just accept he is gone.

@Nova2punkt0 Probably but I’ll be the last one holding out hope lol

@simonyemane Bergvall wants to play every week and is being tempted by Forest as their new Anderson. Its gonna happen, sadly

@jrcaulf Dry market. This is the best player for us that we can get imo

@simonyemane Would it not be more important to have a winger who can shoot cross and score goals

In a very dry LW market, I think Savinho is the right choice for Spurs. Out of all the options, he has the best balance of PL experience, tactical fit, age, and growth potential. If you’re taking a chance on someone anyway, take it on the safest bet. Savinho is that player.

@DOKIIMAKI He started 7 games in the premier league. Played 14 games all comps.

@simonyemane Why do you think he barely played?

@JoshSidnik He wants to play, he does not want to leave spurs. He will if it means playing

@simonyemane He wants to go

@KalatrixB Agree

@simonyemane Thinking it through w/ no emotions, selling the likes of our 'older' MFs would make more sense, for me. I get we haven't sold well in recent past, but just seems lil extreme to start selling our young talents when we don't need to (like NUFC selling Elliot).

@LamunierCosta Spot on

@simonyemane Seems crazy to me that we would sell Vuskovic (who never played a minute in the PL) for 50m and then sell Lucas, who not only played, but played well consistently (frank time not included) AND has huge ceiling, for less than 50m. He should cost A LOT more

@Cackalackyman Definitely me coping even though I thought it was way more plausible Vuskovic would leave. Hasn’t played a minute for us, Bergvall has 2 seasons with us and doesn’t actually want to leave.

@simonyemane But you do know deep inside that it will. This is like the Vuskovic deal: People kept saying he wouldn't be sold, just loaned out, but clubs don't keep sending in bids if they've not been given indication that a deal could be possible.

@DaveSeperson Yup. I get it if if it’s a price and deal structure we can’t turn down but in general I can’t believe this is even a general topic of discussion in regards to some of these players

@simonyemane They have to realize how bad this would be if we made Europe next year. Bergvall & Gray being "club-trained" is so massive to the UEFA squad requirments. We can't go into next season with only potentially Austin, Gray, Moore & Lankshear.

@MATIE202020 Can’t believe we’re even talking about selling any of them tbh

@simonyemane Need to keep Bergvall, Gray, Lankshear and Moore IMO. Tell all the agents to fuck off and go ply their money grabbing trade elsewhere.

@DOKIIMAKI Did not flop first season in PL. barely played last season.

@simonyemane PL experience as in he flopped for two seasons?

@lawdiobeats I hear that but most of those are more inside forwards than 1v1 wingers which is what I THINK rdz is aiming at. Also younger which is what I mean with less risk in terms of re-sale value.

@simonyemane Get where you're coming from, feel like there are lower risk PL options who have proven record of delivering though. Players like Summerville, Tavernier, Schade, Ouattara, Hudson-Odoi might not be as glamorous, but have proven themselves more than Savinho

@velo_tottenham Lool

@simonyemane safe bet in spurs terms usually means he learns the chants by september and the hamstring by october
