Asking Savic to reform the verve.
hey lads, something light hearted to take your mind off the nerves!

As the rag media was taking his comments out of context about him wanting out to Barca to finish his career, just a thought - would he make a good CB when his legs go?

Firstly, he's played there in a Champions league final. Hes good in the air, decent at tackling and one of the strongest players in the league.

Or would you rather just have someone younger and on a lesser wage bill in 4 years time at CB?
 
You can get away with it in the odd game, especially when you have 70% possession all the time like Barca, but no i don't see him being a good centre back. For such a big, imposing guy, he pussies out of too many tackles to be a defender, and i remember Leon Osman beating him to a header v everton this season. When he's no longer capable of doing his bursting runs forward, i say just keep him infront of the back 4 and let him pull the strings.
