City Sign 'Promising Prospect Savic'

The second signing from Manchester City has been finalized and sees young defender and promising young prospect Stefan Savic sign in what is thought to be a 10.6m pound deal. Not much is known about Stefan except to say that he has represented Montenegro at every level including the senior side last year, making his debut against Northern Ireland. Recently he played England and faced a few of his new team mates in that opposing side.
Savic did have a 10 day trial with Arsenal early last year and had agreed to join Stoke however it was FK Partizan and given the number 15 shirt.
Certainly this signing represents one for the future and I would not expect him to wrestle a start away from the current back line but certainly may be used in the League cup and the occasional covering for injuries certainly.

Clichy Signs

Manchester City have made their first signing with the capture of Arsenal and French International defender, Gael Clichy for a reported 7million pounds on a four year deal. The 25 year old was the last remaining member of the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ from the 2003-04 season when they went all season unbeaten.
He became the youngest player to win a Premier League medal in 2004 aged just 18 years and 10 months. He is a pacy left back and will certainly compliment Richards on the right and make for a more balanced City team with both defenders liking to get forward.
Clichy has represented his National Team at all levels from the U-15’s all the way up to the seniors where he currently has ten appearances.
Hopefully Gael represents the start of many quality signings from Mancini and co over the coming weeks as we look forward to the next campaign and a realistic shot at the title and progression in the Champions League.
