Adams: Savage wants to be here

ALBION boss Micky Adams has saluted the desire of loan signing Robbie Savage.
Savage has agreed to drop back down into League One and link up again with Adams after a decade in the Premier League, rather than sit on his £24,000 a week wage packet in the Championship with Derby County.
Adams had to sell Savage to Birmingham for financial reasons six years ago when he was Leicester manager.
The controversial former Wales international midfielder has also played for Blackburn in the top flight since then but now, out of the picture at Derby, he is returning to the third tier of English football where he last played for Crewe in 1997.
Adams said: “The important thing is he wants to come here and put himself back on the map. A lot of people at his level are happy to pick up their money and play in the reserves but Robbie isn’t like that.”
The signing of Savage, first revealed on The Argus website yesterday afternoon, follows the loan capture last week of Coventry’s 22-year-old Irish midfielder Kevin Thornton.
Albion saw off competition for Savage’s services from Port Vale and Wrexham and the 33-year-old will start training with the Seagulls tomorrow in preparation for Saturday’s home game against Cheltenham.
He has not played for Derby since late August so may have to wait for his chance but, when it comes, Adams expects supporters to embrace Savage’s enthusiasm.
Adams said: “I don’t think you can ever have enough good players in the squad and a bit of experience as well. We took a young lad in Kevin Thornton last week and have supplemented the midfield with an older pro and somebody who has played at a higher level.
“The main thing is his enthusiasm. Our fans will look forward to seeing him in an Albion shirt and he will be the focus of taunts from the opposition. That is how it is with Robbie – you either love him or hate him.”
Derby are paying a large chunk of Savage’s salary to make the move to the South Coast affordable for Albion. His loan stint runs until November 1 – three days before the Seagulls host Derby in the third round of the Carling Cup.
Meanwhile, midfielder Wes Fogen is joining Dorchester on a free transfer.
Adams said: “Wes came to see me this week and said he wanted regular first team football and that Dorchester were offering him just that.
“We wish him well because he is a first class professional.”

Top idea! Even better would be all the fans turning up with blonde mullet wigs and blinged up to the eyeballs as Savage clones. Who needs all this tame Doug Loft fan worship when we have a real anti-hero to idolise.
