Savic Loan To Wolves

Not sure who wolves will have as centre backs, but could be a good move if he can get a game. Had a dream Savic scored 2 goals last night and everyone was buzzing off him funnily enough

From express:

Wolves are eyeing a move for Manchester City defender Stefan Savic – but look like having to move players on first.

Savic, a 21-year-old Montenegro international, is understood to be one of the centre-backs identified by new manager Stale Solbakken to strengthen Wolves’ defence.

The former Partizan Belgrade stopper may be available on a season-long loan if City can sign another central defender.

Described by City as “one of the brightest young talents in European football”, Savic made 20 appearances for the Premier League champions in all competitions last season and has seven caps, scoring twice.

Savic was Roberto Mancini’s second summer signing last year when he penned a four-year deal but was forced to be patient behind Vincent Kompany, former Wolves man Joleon Lescott and Pablo Zabaleta for much of the campaign.

But there are obstacles preventing Savic joining.

The pending signing of Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson and captures of Frank Nouble and Jamie Tank take the number of professionals at Wolves to around 50, most of which will report back for testing next week before pre-season training begins on July 9.

And it is understood that tally may well have to be trimmed before Solbakken can add further to his squad.

Steven Mouyokolo is back at Compton after his cruciate ligament injury and will be fit by September.

The French-born defender adds to a group of players competing for the centre-back places including Roger Johnson, Richard Stearman, Christophe Berra and Danny Batth, while Jody Craddock has a two-week trial to impress.

Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis should also be returning with no developments yet on the duo, who it is understood want to remain in the Premier League.

I definitely think he needs a season on loan, either in the Championship or at a Premier League club where he will get games, in order to build his confidence and get used to the Engliush game.
 
Would be better at a PL club but if he plays a lot more in Wolves then be it.

35 league matches at least if he doesnt have big injuries, probably will be good for him to cut the basic mistakes out of his game. How to handle pressure etc.

Also would take Boyata back to replace Savic's in the first squad. As a 4th centerback. Kolo Toure is the big question for me in the defence. He is only 3rd CB but I dont trust the defence if Kompany has a longer injury. Imagine Kompany as he would have an injury like Vidic. We are done...

De Rossi would be perfect because he could be playing the centerback role if has to on a world class level too. But would be a midfielder.
(Javi Martinez the same but he is only potential right now but could be class.)
 
We need to get a centre half in before we let him go out on loan. Kolo is off too I'm led to believe.
 
Pleased for him if correct. He needs games of course, to build up his experience of the English game and playing in the rough and tumble of the Championship could be invaluable, assuming a decent run of games.

I like the lad, probably one of the few on here who does! I genuinely see a lot of potential in him. Just a shame he's made a couple of mistakes which have left him hung out to dry on here.

All part of the learning process and still only young.
 
Good move by City if true. The lad's got some ability and I think can make it.

His arse went at Christmas, it was a real baptism of fire. With the confidence of a run of game sbehind the lad has a chance to make it with us.
 
His first half performance in the semi final at Anfield will live long in the memory, one of the worst of the season. Shipping him out might see an experienced centre half as cover now.

I'm with you on this mate. Some of the stick he took last season, as a young lad in his first season in this country, was shameful at times.
 
He was thrown in at the deep end tbh and was found wanting, I think he has the chance to come good and a loan deal will give him games to prove this..

Who says so, you attention seeker? The link merely suggests it as an option but with several obstacles to overcome. Personally I would not expect Savic to play anything less than Premiership football next season, albeit not for one of the Top Six clubs.

He was pretty dire to be honest.

It seemed to me to be nothing more than a confidence issue though. He needs to get over it.
 
He'll go to wolves and be a great player if he plays.. Although would love him to be loaned to a premiership club, although most clubs probably have centre back partnerships in place at the moment which Savic won't get into

Of course there were mistakes he made in games but looking back at certain other games he played quite well, one that springs to mind is the carling cup away to arsenal where he played quite well. It's not easy for a lad that age to get thrown in at the deep-end like he did, and the stick he took was unbelievable and harsh.
 
City is not the club to bring on latent talent, we need the real deal asap, more so in defensive positions. Savic is raw, makes a mistake then tries to compensate immediately, gets carded. His age is in his favour, if he matures at another club he could be around a long time, hope he does
 
Still unsure around Savic, what I have seen thus far, doesn't fill me with the confidence that he will make a meaningful contribution to our team, I do hope I'm proved wrong. In his defence, last season he was deployed at some difficult times, in some very big games against Premier proven performers and in the a position where continuity is essential and instead of Kompany (not easy)

The loan at Wolves, a good club with a new coach, is an ideal opportunity for him to develop into the player that the club hopes he is.
