So you've seen quite a bit of him then? Is he good enough to immediately compete with Lescott to partner Vinnie, or will it be a few years before he's ready to start week in week out?
If Lescott performs like he did at the back end of the season then not at the moment, but he will challenge for a first team spot, whether it be at CB or RB. I think you'll see him play against the "smaller" clubs, and Mancini will give him plenty of game time. Only bad thing is that this may hinder the development of Boyata.<br /><br />-- Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:38 pm --<br /><br />

You rate him mate? Has he appeared in one of your threads about youngsters? If so any chance of a link, if not can you let us know more about him?

Page 3, although i haven't said much about the player, the fact i had him down for future potential last year is enough for me. Very Vidic like in the way he plays. He is physically strong. He played against Arsenal last December and apart from the odd mistake, take into account his age, and the players he was playing against, some world class, he did very well indeed. In that game he played at RB, and although CB is his preferred position he was able to keep Samir Nasri pretty quiet for most of the night.
If people are really interested in seeing him play, look for some torrents and make your own assessment. Im very happy that he's looking likely to sign for City.
Also because of financial fair play rules coming in Savic is more of one for the future, it is hard to say whether someone of this age will be better than a player who has played for years in the best league in the world, but what i could probably tell you is that Savic is a better player now, than when Lescott was at that age at Wolves.
