Marvin said:Savic had a good season for Fiorentina and MontenegroNipHolmes said:Said it in the Isco thread. The best thing we can do is loan him to Malaga as part of the Isco deal. It's a WC year so he can get the chance to shine (small chance but possible never the less) and off the back of a season we will get the chance to sell him on for better money than we can now as long as Malaga pay a fair chunk towards his wages, if not the best thing we can do is sell now and cut the loss.
Mancini has scouts out on Savic and Garcia yet missed the gems besides them both times in Nastasic and Wistel, laughable really isn't it.
That's the problem with Mancini and his scouts right there, choosing players to suit an Italian system but not the English league.
Savic was useless here and I shit myself every time I saw him on the first eleven teamsheet. Nearly got sent off v Chelsea in the COMS and after that he rightly was dropped.
I chuckle when I think that the scouts passed on Nasty and went for Savic.<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 16, 2013 7:14 pm --<br /><br />
Dribble said:It's widely ackowledged that Mancini had to make do with his B-list in the final days of last summer's transfer window. The squad was light on numbers so it was a case of 'this is what's left, take it or leave it'. Not much of a choice for the manager of the newly crowned Premiership Champions & richest club in the world is it?NipHolmes said:Mancini sent a scout out for Garcia. Gregucci?Dribble said:^^^This^^^ The rest deleted for accuracy, Mancini was just a part of the player acquisition board. Mancini wanted Martinez & got Garcia instead, so Garcia to City wasn't his fault.
At what point do you reckon that any of those last day signings would have been Mancini's considered choices? Mancini made it very clear as soon as the season was over who he wanted. He wanted RVP, Martinez, Lavezzi, Hazard, Silva & De Rossi & look who he ended up with.
I understand completely. My point is that we went for Garcia instead of Witsel and your point makes little odds as Witsel was bought AFTER we bought Garcia.
Garcia should never have made the short-list.
