Spilt blood for us in the derby and looks like he sang in The Verve. He'll do for me.

loan him off for a season and bring a ready made top class CB in to partner Vinnie, keep Kolo around in Savic's role then when Savic has 30/40 games under his belt then bring him back.
Do we loan him out know or wait for VK ban to end

he won't go no where not even after Vinny comes back.

Or play Richards in the middle and Zabba at right back?

He's the same height as Lescott...and an inch shorter than Kompany.
Never forget that wikipedia is a crock of shit that anyone can tinker with mate. Savic is 1m85 (a fraction under 6ft 1' - relatively small for a centre half), Lescott is 1m88 (6ft 2') and Kompers 1m91 (a shade over 6ft3'). Try again
Micah is 5' 11" yet has played centre half for us in the past and looked good, Kolo is 6' 0" and has been a force for Arsenal in the past and has been decent for us as well before his ban and only just recently since coming back... Vidic for United is around the same height as Savic and he still gets considered one of the best in Europe, your theory is rubbish my friend..
The difference of course being that Micah has the power and the spring in his heels to compensate for that lack of inches. As for Vidic, he is over an inch taller than Savic (so not 'around the same height' at all), plus he has the physique to stand his ground and maximise his chances of winning the ball in the air and on the ground. Still if you can remember Savic winning a header against either Carroll or Helgusson, I'll stand to be corrected. Until then, not tall enough, not strong enough, not quick enough, not good enough, and if you think playing him at centre half in any of our remaining games is a good idea then you're clearly as mad as a march hare.

What do you lot expect for a defender at 21?
He has all the attributes to be a good footballing CB in the future. He passes forward well, is tidy on the ball, etc.
He just needs experience. The premier league is not like playing in his Serbia. He needs to adjust. Defense is the hardest position to become acclimated to when joining the premier league and you expect a 21 year old who's only appeared a handful of times to be the finished product?
Unrealistic.
Loan him out to a prem team and he will get used to the pace, type of play, crosses etc. In his post-match interview, he said he needed the confidence. You're hearing it from the man himself. Now I know every club has made some bad buys, but you don't but a kid if you don't see something in him that you can mould. I'm sorry you don't see it, but I do.
Completely agree with the top bit of your post "Jumanji", I dont know about the loan bit only time will tell, Savic is not the finished product but I like what I see so far, and I believe he will turn out to be a quality player, Mancini was simply having to use Savic because Kompany's not available, and I think we need to back him here..........
