Gonzalo Bueno from Nacional. Apparently talented, same club as Lopez who went to Udinese from Roma.


Some skills at 0:15

No idea what went wrong with Gervinho, I didn't watch him in England, but he was good at Lille.

Gervinho was good in Lille and had impressive stats but he still was brainless and missing open net left and right, even for his NT. Never liked him.
Gervinho was good for Lille, because his poor decision making, and lack of end product was less evident. He still has explosive pace and has very good dribbling ability, but he's been horrible for Arsenal. Absolute failure.

Gervinho can dribble much better than Krasic but for some reason his contribution is even lesser. Can't stand watching the guy and now he's playing in the same team as Bradley :sergio:

It is to the bitter end. Contacts continue between Naples and Internacional de Porto Alegre for Leandro Damiao. The Brazilian club, as confirmed by the president Giovanni Luigi, has already found a replacement of the attacker: "We have defined all for Scocco, missing only the transfer", his words. For Damiao to Naples instead you continue to treat because the Internacional has informed the Azzurri club you are holding an offer from 25 million Zenit St. Petersburg. The Napoli instead continues to offer more bonuses to get 20 to 23, convinced that the Brazilian club is only relying on Russian society. Meanwhile, it also speaks with the entourage of the player and his legal situation relating to image rights.

In Russia this is a done deal :touched:

Stevan Jovetic has revealed he snubbed the likes of Arsenal and Juventus because Manchester City showed a greater desire to sign him.

The Montenegro forward completed his protracted €27 million move on Friday to become City’s fourth major signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Fernandinho, Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo.

Arsenal had been in advanced talks with the player earlier in the summer, while Italian champions Juventus had also registered an interest before settling on the man Jovetic will replace at the Eithad Stadium, Carlos Tevez.

"Manchester City has wanted me for a long time, more than everyone else," Jovetic told the club’s official website. "They have a big project here and are always fighting for the Champions League and Premier League. This is the reason I came here.

"I also spoke with Nastasic who tells me good things about Manchester and the players and everything here. He sent me messages every week telling me to come. Now I am here and look forward to playing with him every week."

Media are either twisting his words or he's lying. I've never read an actual quote of him saying it. They just made weird conclusion or intro.

Or maybe he's mad/butthurt we chose Tevez over him in the end.
I'm not sure thats true, if it is, I strongly doubt anyone would prefer Tevez over Jovetic. Tevez while still a really good player in his own righ, is past his best, while Jovetic still has some developing to do, and has not yet reached his peak.

I don't believe it to be the case. It seems Conte wanted him here desperately. You've seen the press conference and his disappointment.

But in that interview you posted Jovetic never actually said he snubbed Juve. Only some silly journo who wants to make City more important than they actually are.

Yeah that was a sensationalist headline from goal.com actually but in the actual quotes it seems like he was kinda taking a dig at Juve indirectly when he says "City wanted me more than anyone else".
