ESPN are reporting that Roberto Mancini has confirmed a deal is done for Stefan Savic, the Montenegro international was once on trial at Arsenal with reports that he all but signed until the transfer fell through and Savic then signed for FK Partizan making 20 appearances scoring one goal in the Serbian Super Liga helping them to the league title and Serbian Cup.
He is a 20 years old central defender, standing at 6" 1 and is apparently going to cost around £7 million.
The media have used, abused and totally killed off the transfer story of Gael Clichy to City to a point of it being clinically uninteresting. At the least Clichy is a step up from Wayne Bridge and puts a stop to having our Zabman Zabs played out of position.
These deals are being reported as 99% done with the players all but ready for medicals, as always I have one eye on 'Footballdatabase.eu' and the other on our official club website to confirm such.
To add the Nasri story is still in full swing and I continue to become more and more anti media each day, the two biggest Sports empires ala Sky and ESPN seem to be in a frenzy. Publishing just about anything and everything they can get their hands on be it speculation or fabrication, they seem to have gone completely mad recently.
One thing caught my eye though and that was something Roberto Mancini and Alex Ferguson apparently said in interviews.
Mancini "I would say a deal for Savic has been done, but Samir Nasri? No, not yet."
Ferguson meanwhile suggested Nasri would be at Manchester City next season.
Alessio Cerci is another player I believe we are currently chasing after losing out to Barcelona for Alexi Sanchez, Alessio Cerci a 5" 11 Italian left winger aged 23 who plays for Fiorentina but is yet to play for Italy at senior level. Is In the prime of his footballing career right now scoring 7 goals in 24 appearences for Fiorentina in 2010/11, Cerci has not had much luck being loaned out by Roma to these, those and them over there until finally transferring to Fiorentina which has put a halt to his senior national chances.
To be honest i'd rather have Juan Mata than Cerci but heres Cerci in action anyway
Obviously until we hear it from City it is never official.
" I would say a deal for Savic has been done, but Samir Nasri? NO, NOT YET." The last 3 words say the whole story, particularly " NOT YET " . I strongly believe that Nasri is on his way to Eastlands. If there is no true interest he would have just stopped at "NO". "NOT YET" suggests that the deal would be completed in time.
