Manchester City are coming under fire for their signing of Savio.
The Brazilian is currently on loan from Troyes at Girona, with both teams owned by City Group.
Savio has in fact never played for Troyes despite being their player, and the club could have done with such a talent, considering the fact they’re languishing at the bottom of Ligue 2.
Troyes fans are planning a protest at City Group having clearly had enough of being treated like a tool for transfers, and one of their former players is fully behind the dissent.
13-time France international Jérôme Rothen said: “We must denounce it, Troyes is not a toy.
“They perhaps imagine that, because it’s Troyes, we’re not going to be vigilant. I find that problematic.
“I just want to tell them: ‘get out, French football doesn’t ‘don’t need you’. I’m not ashamed to say it, we don’t need them.
“It makes me angry. Through this player, everything is summed up. They are using this club as a springboard for certain players. He is a quality player who could have contributed things in Troyes.
“With Savio, we have crossed a line, we must denounce it. If the protests are not enough, don’t come to the stadium anymore, leave them in their shit, make them understand that after a while they will have to leave.”
