Well, we've learned that Roberto De Zerbi is chronicially online. He has to be the first manager to ever let the word "bomba" exit his mouth.
Still, his latest transfer update should excite an increasingly impatient fanbase.
Supporters have seen the club splurge more than £230m on bolstering its defence and midfield, so far leaving an injured attack bereft of firepower untouched. Preseason has further highlighted the need for additions to the forward line, even if Mathys Tel has enjoyed a bright start to the tour down under.
We know that Savinho is the priority, but Manchester City are messing us around. The Brazilian is desperate to join, with Spurs believing they had a deal in place. However, City are shifting the goalposts and have thrust the deal into doubt.
Anyway, De Zerbi's "bomba" promise is separate to our pursuit of Savinho.
"Shark" Roberto De Zerbi hunting his next "bomba"
"The transfer market, it's not finished for sure, but we completed 60% of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bomba!" De Zerbi told Football London's Alasdair Gold, with, according to Gold, an 'excited look in his eye'.
Supporters have since speculated over the identity of the next signing, and we may have already gotten an answer. Gold has suggested that De Zerbi is a big fan of Omar Marmoush.
Marmoush hasn't travelled with Manchester City on their preseason tour to Asia, enjoying a prolonged break after a disappointing World Cup individually, but the best in Egypt's history. After securing their first-ever win at the tournament against New Zealand, the Pharaohs reached the round of 16 and felt conspired against in their dramatic 3-2 defeat to Argentina.
He might not be the guy, because Spurs are said to be weighing up a range of possibilities. Of course, they have to be Premier League-based, ruling out the brightest talent the rest of Europe has to offer, but hey, doesn't Igor Thiago or Ollie Watkins inspire you?
The options we've so far been linked with don't exactly enthuse me (bar Rafael Leão!), yet we're so short of quality in attack that I'd welcome them to N17 with open arms.
“In the transfer market, when I want one player, I become like a shark,” the boss commented amid the year-long pursuit of Savinho. He's been more nurse than bull shark in that regard.
