Stevan Jovetic

[Tron Coltrane]

Way too early to break out the animated GIFs. Let's just keep our heads about us and knuckle down till the kid hopefully puts pen to paper.

 

[Joehannes]

No, he isn't left footed. He isn't a number 9. He prefers to play behind the striker, although not necessarily directly as it could be said that he operates best coming in from the left.

He has better technique than Tevez, imo.

 

[Super David Silva 21]

Would anyone describe him then as a replacement for say where Isco may have played, and with the Boss saying about getting in one striker then Jovetic wouldn't be the striker?

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.

 

[Jumanji]

Hate seeing him likened to Nasri. Only thing similar is that they are technical.

I fucking wish Nasri had Jovetic's mentality.

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

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

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.

Haven't you heard? There's only four good players in Serie A, the rest are shit.

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.

Would you say kaka esque as such?

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 would defo get the thumbs up from me

Yeah, his hold up play is good. Obviously, his first touch helps him in that respect.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 11, 2013 8:03 am --<br /><br />

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 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.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 11, 2013 8:06 am --<br /><br />

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

You spent the night scouting him? Enough said.
