Of all of the ridiculous deals this summer, this Savinho one I just can't get my head around. I just don't get it. City signed him for about £30m, he's done basically nothing in two years, scored 2 PL goals and he goes for way more than double the price.
A player is worth what a club is willing to pay, I've always said that. And he might be brilliant for Spurs and prove to be worth every penny in the long run under a manager like De Zerbi, whose excellent at getting the best out of players. But I just can't see how they have justified that price to themselves now and given it the green light.
It's absolutely insane money for an attacker with his output.
6 and a half years, guys.
6 and a half years.
We’ve been on this journey together for that long.
The highs, the lows.
The hope, the despair.
The conviction, the doubt.
All of it.
Now?
Take it in. Be present. Be grateful.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are Premier League CHAMPIONS!
When Arsenal smashed Spurs 4-1 in February Peter Schmeichel was sat just at the front of the press box.
When Gyokeres scored the fourth goal Schmeichel stormed out of his seat to head down to get ready for his post match interview with steam coming out of his ears. He was fuming and clearly so, so gutted at seeing Arsenal win so well.
Any other team today, he 100% says that's clear foul and backs the keeper. Seeing him like this just makes that win feel even sweeter.
