Personally I thought Savic was better than Lescott tonight, Lescott's air shot and several other errors worried me. You'd be unlikely to see him make so many mistakes alongside Kompany which suggests to me he isn't comfortable in the role of leader.
Savic did just fine today, albeit not against the best forward line but games like this will give him important experience. All this talk of Samba but I believe we should do with what we have as Kompany and Kolo will be back soon enough, and target a Grade A centre-back in summer so that we have two titans next to each other (like Lucio and Samuel have been for Inter when Inter have been at their best, ie. their titanic display against Barcelona in the Champions League two years back).
Then next season send Savic on loan to a PL club as many will offer him first team football and we can have a main four of Kompany, new signing, Lescott, and Kolo. Plenty of experience and the new signing will be younger. The season after next will probably then be the time to move Kolo on, giving Savic his spot back.
We're getting closer and closer to having a jaw-dropping team/squad but I still feel we're a couple of signings short of that and don't think this is the time for the owners to turn off the taps completely on spending.
