Re: Stevan Jovetic

Hope he gets game time tonight and stays uninjured.

When we signed him I thought this lad is the one to move us on that little bit more, I didn't think it would be in the Medical department.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

I wish the lad the very best of luck when he does get a chance to make an appearance. Other than that I will reserve judgement as I would have no wish to burden him with anymore pressure, that has already been done on this forum.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

Understandably there has been considerable frustration among blues that we haven't had more than a glimpse of this lad since he arrived, but I bet it's nothing to the frustration he feels. In the summer we paid a lot of money for him, and presumably that's because Txiki, Pellers and whoever believed he really will "give City an extra dimension". He arrived in the same window as a group of players who have certainly done a great deal more than it said on the label, so there's reason for real optimism about what this lad can do. He can't be fully match fit and will play half a game at most, but let's hope it's the start of a great career with City in which the trophies just keep on rolling in.

This is something I really believe as well, he's a fantastic playmaker and dribbler with a good football brain and while he has more of a reputation as a creator than a goalscorer, he's still capable of 15+ or 20+ goals a season.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

we might as well all convince ourselves and pretend that he's our first January signing, after all he's only had 1 good game and that was in our first league cup game

Welcome to Manchester Stevan!

That's true. The criticism has gone way too far.

With the added advantage, despite absent for training, that he's been with the squad for 6 months. So hopefully he'll be on the team's wavelength from the outset.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

Pellegrini will use Jovetic in a variety of positions.

Pellegrini:“Stevan can play as a forward or a midfielder. "

He should be shit hot in the recovery position.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

I really believe that this is the end of Stevans troubles. The transfer window we had last summer was incredible. The other 3 big signings we made have all proven to be the signings of the season... Stevan was touted as the best of the lot, i'm very excited to see what he can do now he is fit and ready to go. his return just as Nasri is ruled out with a nasty injury is perfect for us.

Bang on that mate, thats how I feel about all this. Fingers crossed it works out.
Lets get behind the lad and welcome him with open arms.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

It's going to take time for him to get up to speed of course. Not just match fitness and sharpness, although that's clearly going to be a factor. But much more important is to develop an understanding between him and his colleagues, so he knows what runs the other strikers will make and likewise Silva and Co can find him. Its about the other players getting used to Jovetic as much as the other way around. So no doubt there will be some missed passed, missed opportunities and groans from the crowd. I just hope we give him time - he's had a terrible start to life in the UK and can't have been enjoying it much at all.

Best of luck, Stevan!

He needs to play a full game none of this Ho do 30minutes bollox, the only way to get match fit is to do the time on the pitch .
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

Hopefully he can get a half tonight and a bit more on Saturday.

We need him now Nasri is out and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get back to fitness in the next two games

So we should have started Kun against Blackburn, should we?
30 tonight, all being well start vs Watford with the hook ready after 60-70 if/when he tires then take it from there.

I agree. He's been out for so long he needs to be phased in gradually. however, i would start him tonight, give him 60 mins and hopefully another 60 on the weekend... Perhaps even the full 90 if he looks like he's up to it.
 
Re: Stevan Jovetic

Jovetic is unlike any other player we have. He would be able to play with any of our other forwards and can be utilised in a variety of positions. He is the kind of player that will be able to score or provide. Negredo this season has shown glimpses but will always rather score than drop deeper and create. Similarly with Aguero. Jovetic is happy to play in the hole behind the strikers in a way Silva or Yaya would and create space and hold the ball up or score. Similarly to the way Rooney does for the rags. If he can stay fit and get a run of games he will be a fantastic asset to our squad. Fingers crossed. He is the signing that I, like many, were most excited for - which says a lot about his potential but also how fantastic Negredo, Navas and Fernandino have been so far.
