For a 20 year old defender to come from a nothing league to play against established Premier League clubs I'd class that as a test... They very well may be average clubs but you'd expect someone in Savic's position to have a bad game against clubs in a new league, bit he's settled in unbelievably well...... not bad for £6M

In very limited game time he's improved City's GD by +2.

Yes, but he's still not been brought on as a centre back in a 2 man pairing yet which is quite strange (always a full back/3rd centre back). Don't get me wrong, I like the look of him but still very early days.

I think he'll get a full run in against Wolves in the Carling Cup, but yeah I know what you're saying....

his reaction to his goal just showed how much he loves it.
one for the future for sure, great prospect and plenty of potential for sure.
I'm glad you mentioned his reaction. He was absolutely chuffed to score!
Keep it up Stefan son.

The players were especially pleased for him..I think he's well liked by the team.

Clearly a well-liked member of the squad. Even Balo threw his arms in the air in delight the moment Savic scored and he looked over the moon for him, as did everyone else. It was great to see!

When i viewed him in interview on club website, he looked to have a cool steely eyed aura about him that suggests he has what it takes to progress into a top C/B. He doesn't seem to panic with the ball and brings it out of defence well. He also got up well to nod a good goal in.
Reminds me of a young Dave Watson who i regard as the C/B i've seen live.
Early days yet but Savic is doing well so far.

he is the reason I think that any screams of big-money CBs in January will fall on deaf ears. At this time I don't think City are looking to buy a big-time CB that will be a first XI choice for the next few seasons, they want this lad to grow into that role.
