This.
He was OK for us pre-the takeover. For a club with aspirations of challenging for and winning major honours, he simply isnt at that level.

He has two problems - he's poor on the ball and his injuries. His injuries seem to have stopped, although we'll see when he's playing regularly, the ball control will never improve.
When he had a decent run under Hughes he looked our best CB and I think he'll do a good job in the prem for someone.
He would never be a starter for us now, but we still need squad players. At the moment I'd still prefer to have to play a few games with him at CB than Savic. Too many people seem to think that we need 25 world class players, ignoring the problems that would bring.
If Ned goes, our CB options are Vince, Lescott, Micah and the Toure's. If we had a bad injury to Vince/Joleeeen or even a 3 game ban, we'd be in trouble, especially during the ACN.
Still think we need to upgrade Lescott, but I'd that's not happening getting rid of Ned now could be a mistake

Ned before Savic all day, absolutely. I think we need an extra defender and I keep plugging Jagielka. I know it's Moyes, etc, but he is the best young CB option, in my opinion.

It's noticeable that Savic has hardly kicked a ball for us since he arrived, which means that Mancini sees him as one for a year or two down the line. In the here and now, however, we need someone of established quality to help us draw a line under all the unnecessary goals we have conceded. Either that, or a new defensive coach.

Hasn't Savic's coach said he's off in the window, maybe a loan?
