Re: Nastasić

Why the flying FUCK would we sign old-ass Maicon who got torn to shreds by Gareth Bale when we already have two highly competent leftbacks in Clichy (probably the best leftback in the league last year) and Kolorov?!

That makes no sense AT ALL. That would be several million quid pissed up against the wall as there would be no sell-on value at all.

he's a right back.

His point is still valid though, with Micah, Zaba and Milner at a push Maicon isn't needed.

Though there are times when we have to change the team and 'at a push' players can be necessary, but we have to plan for better. Micah has proved to be very, very injury prone these days and I have a nasty feeling it will continue. He looks too heavy.

Re: Nastasić

Should happen today.

imo a very very good piece of business. I've watched this lad a few times and he's already a very good player at Serie A level. I imagine Bob and co will help him develop and improve even further. He has been watched by a host of CL clubs. At 19 we could get many many years of service from him.

If Savic ends up going in the other direction, then that's even better. Savic may well be a good player but we'll never know - his confidence was clearly shattered following a couple of big early errors and he never recovered from it. A shame as that can't be easy for any young player playing under such a spotlight.

Hopefully Savic can 'start again' in Serie A and regain his early promise. I wish him all the best.

For those of us who've never seen him play, can you give us more? Strengths? Weaknesses? Passing ability? Power? Pace? etc etc. The only other poster I know who's seen him on a regular basis reckoned he was raw, overpriced at £12m, and something of a gamble.

Re: Nastasić

Savic had every right to sit tight and run his contract down but he hasn't, and for that I thank him.

Good luck Stefan, welcome to Manchester, Mat Nastasic.

Shame Vinny has the number 4 taken.

Re: Nastasić

I can't see how Savic goes the other way + 12 mil
most people have not heard of Nastasic before.
Hopefully Savic goes on loan and comes back a better player.

I think Boyata has more potential. That said... I'm sure half the EDs team do too

no one had heard of savic either.

i hope savic goes on a permanent, i can't see him ever making it at city, and we'd just have the problem of him being around the squad with his contract running down. best to move him on while he has some value
