Stevan Jovetic (part 3)

[brotherblue]

I would be happy if we signed him but I hoped we would go for

Di Maria
Lamela
Bruma
or
Bernard

Instead, and in that order.

We could get Lamela for similar or even less money and he really seems like a world class player in the making.

All im saying is that for this money we could have got some bette players

And for a bit extra millions we could have got Reus or Draxler all of whom are better than jovetic

 

[Cobwebcat]

have been told he wants assurances that he will get good game time. surely in the bigger games he would start for us?

I never understand that. What can a Manager say other than "that's the intention"

He can't have a guarantee any more than any other player. He should believe in his own ability and I wonder why he doesn't.

I'm sure I've read on here that Pellers isn't one for changing his team much.

I'm going to hazard a guess that until the thread on here came up about him, you had never heard of Bernard.

Only Bernard I knew of was Bernard Manning.. RIP.

I wonder how much it would have taken to get Reus too.

Would have been my number 1 pick this transfer window.

Still looking likely then, or are you hearing he's getting cold feet about the move?

no its gone way too far for it not to go through imo. I think its just a big move for him and hes keen to come but don't forget hes god like in fiorentina so obviously doesn't want to sit on the bench or get 5 or 10 mins a game. hes not asking to guarantee starting every game but just that hes an important player.

No - we couldn't, I'm afriad.

Dortmund will not countenance any more sales of their first team this summer, hence their stance on Lewandowski. Reus has no release clause until next summer, so what Dortmund says, goes for this window. And Draxler, if you believe the press, has had his release clause met twice so far this summer (once by us, allegedly), subsequently turning both the moves down to stay at Schalke for a further season.

Lamela is a right winger/right sided forward - and we've already bought Navas for that role. What we needed was a left sided attacker, which is what Jovetic is.

Di Maria would have been great, but maybe he wasn't for sale. Its wrong to think that every player is available every Transfer Window - sometimes they aren't because the Manager/Club won't countenance selling them.

Bruma and Bernard I don't know enough about to comment really, but they are hardly proven players at the top level, which Jovetic is - so I can't really see the problem with his signing in relation to those two.

Well this has become a bit of a Championship Manager forum, so maybe we could just email a screen shot of the 'you will be an important first team player' page when completing a deal? ;-)
