Milosevic was a child hero of mine, ignoring the spitting. It's when I first experienced the Internet and found out he wore a bandana playing abroad. I raided my Dad's draws for a hanky to put on my head. As a result of Savo and searching the draws I found my first ever packaged condom and a load of pocket knives. I stole the crappest looking one assuming it wouldn't be missed. My dad let me keep it but his rubbers were hidden in a jewelry box afterwards, haha. It's mental what stays with you yet I can't remember what I had for tea, two days ago. Thanks for the journey that you led me on, Savo and that top corner belter will stay with me forever. Ironically I created an account called SuperSavo or something like that but couldn't remember the details to log in. Yet I remember the hanky/rubber Johnny story from when I was 10/11. Mental. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so, all Nordic countries have a "Winter tour" when they play sort of a development team consisting of mostly players from their national league and other Nordic leagues as they are between seasons or have a winter break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underrated player. Very, very good technique and close control for such an awkward looking guy, he could drop deep, hold it up and play lovely little passes. His goal scoring record wasn't actually that bad for us on reflection, but a string of eye catching misses made him a bit of a joke in the media, shame for such a young player at the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met Savo in a multi-storey car park in Sutton or somewhere when I was about 8. We scrambled about for a scrap of paper to get his autograph on, he didn't mind waiting. Loved him!

sne Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Savo was as far as I can remember extremely hard done by by the refs. Every time he went into a 50/50 challenge or header against a defender he always got the call against him. To the point I think he got fed up and didn't even bother towards the end. Same thing has happened to a fair number of mostly foreign target man type strikers, and still does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I remember when he (Savo) first signed and seemed to go an age without scoring. There was a feeling amongst most fans that once he got 1, he would go on to score loads of goals for us. I was in the Holte when he scored a hatrick (i think it was against Coventry though i might be wrong) and the place just exploded. A very fond memory.

Regista Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Concerned about him starting tomorrow. Looked completely lost so far. Is also one of those players who steadily jog with no intensity like Stephen Ireland did, infuriates me. Early days but I think he looks poor.

No worries about hiM starting tomorrow with jedinak missing another 3 games - Jed will be missed but bjarnson will do a job for us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 As long as it's better than the job he did in the first game for us then great! Joking aside the play offs are gone so it makes sense to use this time to get him up to speed in CM if we feel that's his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 10, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think he has a job on his hands becoming a regular in the starting line-up. I think Green and Grealish are better options on the left wing. I think Amavi is a better wingback and I think both Amavi and Taylor are probably better leftbacks. I also don't see him ousting any of our centre mids. It's more likely he'll be the utility player mentioned by @TRO. That's not damning him with faint praise and it's not writing him off either, because we need players like that. He'll get plenty of game time and he'll justify his inclusion, plus I also think he's a damn sight more useful than our only other designated utility player, one Mr. Bacuna. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) He'll get his game time as Jedinak will likely need to be rested or subbed. Edited February 10, 2017 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of where we used to be.. We used to be able to judge players like Savo and say, no, you're not for us....how the mighty have fallen.
