And so it begins...

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

Jovetic is more of an attacking midfielder than he is striker these days imo. His link play and tracking back really impressed me last season. His enthusiasm is infectious to his team mates also, a la Tevez.

Sorry I'm not getting dragged down this road again. Still don't see how we make the squad work with the foreign player limitations.

I just can't...

I think if we think we can secure Isco we'd be ok sanctioning the sale of Jovetic to Inter. He seems a happy lad but I don't see him being in English football long-term. We'd get all of our money back from the initial transfer, as well.

Dzeko, Aguero, Negredo (or Jovetic), with Silva/Isco/Yaya/Nasri all able to play attacking mid/2nd striker roles is plenty. Which I think we will do a heck of a lot this season with Fernando and Fernandinho anchoring midfield.

Not a hope, it would be a loan with a ridiculously low option clause as usual. I'd move Negredo on rfirst, he's older and his value has actually increased.

Yes but Isco loaned in rather than buy doesn't do anything for us in regards to the foreign quota. I don't think Real would do an option clause with him! If they do, don't think it'd be ridiculously low. He'll cost us 20+ mil at some point

I was referring to Inter and Jovetic, don't know where you got a £22m bid from because they want a loan with option to buy (knowing Italian clubs probably for about £5m)

Tolmie must love the kit.

I jest.

It's absurd how some people feel let down, almost affronted, when their own perceived timescales based on Tolmie's posts don't materialise.
