I don't know if Savic is the kind of quality CB you should be looking for really...

Savic is a work in progress. When Vidic was his age, he was getting loaned out to Second Division clubs in Serbia

Only problem is: if you count on a guy his age, you don't want him to make dubious mistakes. Send him off to a lower ranked team if he needs more experience. That way he gains xp and you'll not be the one paying for the mistakes he made. If you wanna compare players:

At age 16, this is how Kompany defended. ;)

His mistakes were down to a lack of composure, something that comes with maturity. Technically, he's a very promising player and the more good games like Fulham he gets, the better he will become

And Kompany made LOADS of mistakes when he was a kid, as he actively acknowledges in interviews now.

Maybe you're right. I guess time will tell.

He's an adequate defender who puts in a good shift, very much like the man he replaced. No better than that, certainly not a good enough passer to be really top class. The shuffle he does every time he gets the ball puts the fear of god in me. Not especially quick either! He slows us down, as does Barry and de jong. when we play it forwardly quickly as per Kompany, silva or yaya that's when we are at our most dangerous. Playing at pace is what can win us this league. Sideways passing and slow build up is what could lose it.

all if ever needed was a run of games under his belt last
