And Savinho in 10 games less for the national team has 1 goal less and the same amount of assists.
In the 1 year playing in the same league Savinho's stats were more impressive for a far inferior team.

He’s fucking gash proper down grade on any winger we’ve had in last 15 years I’d rather have pedo Johnson

Another one we let go Get him back next summer

Be interesting to know the story behind that - it seems he only actually had a trial spell at city rather than actually being a part of the youth setup. It took him another 18 months to get a semi-regular starter at Reading but playing regular in the Championship by 18 is no mean feat, so maybe this was really one that got away/not spotted - it would be a rare miss for the club not to tie someone down who is considered v talented.

Though I guess at the time we also had quite a few v promising attacking players around that age, Palmer etc so maybe the club thought they already had a pipeline in his position.

He had a full season with our academy.

Slightly tongue in cheek about letting him go, but we definitely need to be interested in getting him back.

"After leaving Chelsea’s academy at 14 after a “mutual decision” and training with City for a few weeks before spending six months without a club"

The exit from Chelsea sounds ominous, though maybe more about his dad than him as it seems he may have been being touted around after leaving Chelsea, or clubs were wary of something for him to have that big a gap withour a club when he had been considered the best player in his age group in the country since 9 years old (according to the article)

He was here for a full season -

Olise arrived at City aged 15 after being rejected by Chelsea, but he did not make the grade and spent just one season at the CFA, dropping down a level with his next move by joining Reading

The Guardian article is very specific about him being without a club for 6 months in that period - which renders the Wiki/Transfermrkt information incorrect in terms of the sequence of events - or at best, the way the data is displayed makes it inaccurate, as the only club he had any affiliation with during that year was City - but it seems to be incorrect that he moved from Chelsea to City, then City to Reading - he definitely doesn't seem to have been contracted or signed to anyone between Chelsea and Reading.

Anyway - definitely one that got away, either way
