Both....Boyata will play a part next season as will Savic.
People writing off Savic need a reality check. He still has to adapt.

As I've been saying, Savic is too small. He needs to bulk up and improve his athleticism. Bothroyd got the best of him today.
Haven't watched Boyata at Bolton, how was he doing before the injury?

I think Savic is getting a bit of a raw deal on here this evening. Blues describing his performance as a 'nightmare' etc are wide of the mark.
His positioning was suspect but I can overlook that considering that he is still learning to adapt to the high-tempo nature of the British game - and there wont be many tougher tests for him than at Loftus Road against a QPR side bang up for it.
He also was beaten in the air once too often for my liking and admittedly that is a touch worrying.
But on the deck he nullified SWP brilliantly - showed his reading of the game is right up there and there was a moment that gave me hope - two mins after Helguson hit the post from a long diagonal punt they tried it again. But this time Savic didnt compete for the ball. Instead he anticipated and committed himself in front of Helguson and cleared commandingly. That shows he has got nous.
He has an awful lot of promise but the lad needs Kompany beside him in order to settle and grow. Tonight he had Lescott. Not knocking Joleon for that but thats the harsh truth of it.

Ben Haim would be a better option based on Savic's display tonight.
