I don't think anyone is saying "it hasn't cost any money", but just that compared to the money we have lost on, say, Quashie, Ljungberg, Davenport, Dyer (just to name some recent
pre-Nani examples) it's small beer.
Football clubs bring in young players, let them go, sell them on, lose money on them and, just very occasionally, unearth a star. Everyone makes mistakes but I don't really see the Savio case as particularly damaging to the club, and it's been quickly rectified, which is important too.
