Henri Saivet - Player Profile

27 February 2008 6,525 views 11 Comments

We’ll have a quick look today at attacking midfielder/forward Henri Saivet who for me is probably the best wonderkid in Football Manager 2008.

While he can technically be picked up for free at the start of the game I have found it pretty difficult to do so and have usually had to pay around £5 million to from his French club Girondins Bordeaux. Either way, when you do pick him up he goes from strength to strength.

Saivet was promoted from the FC Girondins Bordeaux new youth training centre to the first team squad on his 16th birthday making him the youngest professional player in history of the the club. Coach Philipe Lucas, in an interview on the evaluation of 18 years has certified that “Henry is a player who plays with a pleasure and a rare opportunism.” As for Patrick Battiston, he confirmed that “the speed of the game and his technique were the strengths of a game brought forward.”

Full Name: Henri Saivet
DOB: 26/10/1990 (age 17)
POB: Dakar
Clubs: Girondins Bordeaux (2006-)
Position: Attacking Midfielder/Striker
Number: 25
Preferred Foot: Right

    @Tom

    You can nab him early on if you are lucky but usually you have to wait a few seasons (say when he is nearly 20) before he’ll leave!

    Good luck getting him, proper little gem!

    Well. I get him easily. I’m just offering him a full-time contract. Bought him that way with Lyon and Man Utd.

    henry saviet can be bought at the start of the game by going to the contract and clicking full time as opposed to youngster, then proceed to offering hot prospect, he then negotiates terms, chuck him a few quid more and he’s yours, then check his favoured personel and you see an awesome defender from psg, repeat the contract negotiation as with saviet and you pay compensation of around 850k to the clubs, cheap as chips. darren fleck of rangers is nearly as good.
