Stefan Savic

[southern muppet]

Seems to be a done deal but this work permit issue is concerning - will we get the McDonald Mariga treatment again or will we get some leniency like the rags, because I think there is a rule where exceptional talents can get work permits?

If we can't get a work permit, what country would we have to send him to for him to get a quick passport? Belgium?

Pretty sure we sent Abu to Norway for that reason.

 

[Andouble]

have we "officially" signed Suarez, don't think I've seen it on the OS yet. Though maybe it's one of those 1 July kinda things.

So possibly 2 centre-backs this summer? Cahill/Vertonghen and this guy.

Would make sense as Boateng is probably leaving. And Kolo is getting old and not very much needed in Mancinis plans.

 

[bluecityboy]

Would be a good deal if he turns out anything like Vidic.

The club president in Partizan, Dragan Djuric and Mancini have done the talks, and the deal is done and dusted. 7 mill euro.

Because of the work permit the deal could be delayed until january, or in the worst case next summer, until Savic have enough matches for the national side.

The balkan media already rate him among the best defenders in Europe. My mate from Balkan is in no doubt, this is the signing of the summer!

Seems to be gathering some pace of a possible deal.

Found some links, there are definitely reports:

A friend of mine from Balkan has pretty much confirmed this deal.

He firmly believes this is a good deal for City. Savic is a proper talent!

6 ft 1 worries me a bit - our occasional vulnerability to high balls into the box tells me we need a beast in the air to go with Vincent's brilliance on the ground, just a personal view

We have Lescott for those games - you will struggle to find a CB better in the air than Lescott (bar Vidic)

Although i haven't done a scout report on this player, he is someone i've noticed before. Last year i produced a list of players to scout for all the FM freaks out there, and the list was from players i had seen and thought they might get some decent stats on FM, and i was interested to see how the players would be percieved in the game.

Here is the list.

It's not that short for a defender. 1cm more than our january target David Luiz for example.

Im sure he is pretty good in the air.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

He still might have some growing to do.
