Jewell gets Savage

[Beefy]

Derby are set to sign Robbie Savage from Blackburn after agreeing a fee for the Welshman, while Laurent Robert is to join him at Pride Park.

Savage is no longer a regular starter at Ewood Park and recently admitted he was looking to leave the club.

Sunderland made a bid for Savage last week and Wigan were also understood to be interested.

But it now appears that Derby have won the race for his signature, and Paul Jewell will be hoping to tie up the transfer as quickly as possible.

What is it that managers see in Robbie Savage, i don't rate him, do you?

[Darren]

I don't rate him at all myself, and find it a mystery he is a Premier League player let alone an international.

I dont think its what he brings as a player,I believe its what bring in Attitude and desire,he may not be the best player but he certainly brings an all out desire to win at all costs,Stiles Bremner Hunter Harris not one of them was skillfull but they brought a winning Attitude to there teams I believe Savage will be an Asset.

I can understand what you mean to a certain extent, but every one of the players you mentioned there could actually play as well. That is something that I personally don't think applies in the case of Robbie Savage, but he's won a lot of international caps so he can't be that bad can he?
