Stevan Jovetic

[Jumanji]

Seen him so much that you had to spend a night scouting him.

you're full of shit.

I'll have to go back and find it but I remember u asked a poster earlier in the thread a certain question about Jovetic that raised a red flag to me that you hadn't watched the player.

Here's a tip, don't formulate your opinion of a player based on youtube.

hes similar to nasri,like to come from wide positions and play little 1 2s....hes decent but not wow!! might be the peice of the jigsaw MP is after!! we shall see.

Name 5 wow-players in Jovetic' position than ...

Draxler
Lamela
Fischer
Reus
Eriksen
Shaqiri
Reus
Kevin de Bruyne
Di Maria
Mata
Griezmann
Adem lljaic (His teammate at Fiorentina and it's not far fetched to think that he might actually be a better fit for us than Jovetic)
Mkhitarian

without mentioning players like Isco, Goetze etc that we can't get

No he doesn't. Not at all even. Sinclair is a better flair flair than Joevtic.

Jovetic isn't a flair player.

Just like Silva isn't. Just like Messi isn't.

These players don't need flair. Jovetic gets past you like nothing without the need for fucking stepovers. I've said before, few current players are as good at cutting in the box like Jovetic. He revels in tight spaces.

And Sinclair? You are deluded.

Silva and Messi aren't joga bonito but are direct dribblers. Messi and Silva will always attempt to dummy a player left or right. When Jovetic gets a ball and doesn't see a teammate he turns his back on the defender or passes backward. That is not technical player to me, that's more of an Inzaghi.

'Joga bonito'.

You don't really have to agree with my opinion, you know. That's why this is a forum. I have my opinion, you have yours. All I can add is that we both support the same team so if Jovetic comes in and is awesome for us, you can always come back and laugh at me which will be fair enough. But till then, I'll remain skeptical of Jovetic based on what I've seen.

Jovetic would be an excellent signing in my opinion. Young, versatile, technically gifted - it's staggering how easily some on here dismiss his talents.

It's an Isco hangover caused almost single handedly by that bloody under 21s tournament. He could actually turn out to be the better signing, no-one knows yet. What is stupid is to fawn over Isco in one breath then completely disregard this lad with the next.

And we've already got our Tevez replacement - We've had him for two seasons now!

This bloke caused Liverpool absolute nightmares when he was much younger.

In the 2nd half v England ( when he was mercifully released from trying to win long balls v 6ft strikers & dropped deeper) he absolutely crucified our midfield. Did so few notice that England were suddenly being bossed by Montenegro & wonder why ? If we played the same game tomorrow & it was Isco playing like Jovetic, people on here would be memorising every touch & suicidal about us not signing him.

That was a real game, v top Premier League players not U21s, he was much better in that game, than Isco was in Spain's last U21 game, yet at the time many on here just wrote him off after the 1st half & didn't even notice he'd changed position.

A superb imaginitive attacking mid who has already got a 1 in 3 scoring ratio & people are writing him off.

I really hope we sign this lad. He would be ideal.

Have you actually watched him? Inzaghi? WTF??!!

Yeah I have, a lot actually. If you so sure of what your saying, look for any video or whatever where he does a stepover or anything a Silva or Messi would do.

Jovetic gets a ball and and if he sees a player will turn away from the defender and pass it to the player. He won't attack the defender. If he sees no opening he turns his back to the defender and passes it backwards.

So sure of what? I haven't made any great claims other than I think he will be a very good signing, exactly what we need to give us some balance on the left of our attack and he's versatile.

He's definitely nothing like Inzaghi whatsoever.

I said his dribbling skills are like Inzaghi not him as a player.

For you to be sceptical is absolutely fair enough. To post about him just turning round and passing the ball backwards in certain situations is not fair comment at all (David Silva & Xavi do the same quite often) it implies that he lacks attacking threat which is absolutely not true.

I spent a good part of this night scouting Jovetic and Negredo. On Jovetic, it seems that we'll be paying 27 million pounds for Jovetic which is a lot, too much actually. He is not a central striker as of now. He's still 23 so he could get molded in one but for now he's too inaccurate to be one. Jovetic doesn't have any flair, he's no dribbler and he isn't the fastest player too. He's passing is alright but Silva is a better passer than him as well as Nasri. He really is a support striker or a 10 and that's my problem. We have Aguero in that spot and we won't be paying 27m to bench him. He can't lead the attacking line because he's not clinical and he can't play on the wings because he lacks flair, pace and pretty much always drifts in the middle. This signing is puzzling me especially if we get Negredo as well.

There are several things I like about Jovetic. He has great footballing IQ, he's first touch is great, his turn of pace, his vision etc. There are reasons why people in Italy call him the next Baggio, but he's too slow and lacks Baggio's flair.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this signing puzzles me a lot. 27m for a support striker, a position we already have filled in is weird.

He is also great at striker. Has actually played up top a lot. Hold up play is excellent and can service the oncoming support with ease.

Players like him, like Messi, I just call forwards.

Yeah, his hold up play is good. Obviously, his first touch helps him in that respect.

No he doesn't. Not at all even. Sinclair is a better flair flair than Joevtic.

He doesn't what? Have better than technique than Tévez? Or operate best from the left?

Either way, the last part of your post is ridiculous.

I was referring to the part that he has better technique than Tevez. He doesn't if by technique you are referring to dribbling.

Get yourself on the apprentice with a business plan that you have found a way to judge a player and its the way forward, 1 night only of you tube

Oh well. You can go on thinking that this was all based on one night on youtube. I'm not really going to keep arguing. I guess the fact is that you have your opinion on Jovetic and I have mine. So we'll just have to agree to disagree.
