Stevan Jovetic

Re: Jovetic

Problem is only 11 players can play....so its all good saying we should buy this and that, but who's going? The easy answer is Dzeko, but Dzeko is the only striker who offers areal threat and he's a good option to have. Jovetic is similar to Aguero and Tevez, just nowhere near as good. Right now there's a great mixtures of the 4 strikers and thats a good thing, you dont want 4 strikers who all have the same skill set

Jovetic is versatile and Mancini might not even intend to play him up front if he signs him, even though he is playing there right now for Fiorentina. He has been excellent as a second striker also and has played very well when pushed out wide. Let's not forget that besides Dzeko probably going next summer, Tevez will only have one year left on his deal and despite his posturing it is probably unlikely he will stay any longer than his current contract, so the club will be making preparations for the future. Jovetic from what I have seen also has great vision, something often missing in our squad when Silva is missing or out of form. I think if we signed him Mancini might use him as an attacking playmaker more than a striker, possibly the same role he had in mind for Hazard who we almost signed.

Re: Jovetic

I would welcome him if he is EXCEPTIONAL only.

There is no room for good players, to be the Champions again, City needs the BEST only.

He is both exceptional and versatile. Can lead the line, play one off or wide left or right. He has pace, great technical ability and knows where the net is. If this is true, it's a masterstroke.

£12million, are the Daily Star that out of touch really? Double it and we might be closer to what Fiorentina want for him.

His value has halved since he cut his barnet

In the headline they reckon 12 quid, now that's cheap.

"Only" 60k per week as well, having a proper laugh with that piece of shit article.

Re: Jovetic

I don't remember Jovetic as any spectacular player but honestly haven't see lot of him recently. He better be such good if he comes :)

Did you hear that, Bobby?

he's a forward mate...like del piero. this is not FM where you can just use players where ever you want. Same thing with Nasri where some people think he's a wide man when he's clearly a central player who can do a job out wide. What we need is world class wide man, not another central player who's versatile enough to do a job out there

Re: Jovetic

I agree with tony nasri and silva can both do the job out wide but they are both at their best centrally, probably more so nasri I think but being able to play a wide man who is first and foremost a wide man would be nice but I really don't understand jovetic signing unless we have plans to offload dzeko for a reasonable fee

Re: Jovetic

Wouldn't surprise me if good relations have been built between the clubs following the Nastasic transfer, which seemed to have been wrapped up comparatively quickly compared to some of our negotiations with Italian clubs

He's 22. At 22 a very good player has the potential to become a great one. Kompany wasn't exceptional when we signed him. Neither were the likes of tranny or prozzy shagger for the rags, henry, vieira + rvp for arsenal etc...

Not seen much of him myself but 1 in 2 at itnernational level and 1 in 3 for in serie a is pretty impressive for a 22 year old lad. If he's quick then good, if he can beat a man then we might be on to a winner. Either way he seems a very good player
