“Juve have been after me for a year. They say they want me and that in their list I come above Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Carlos Tevez and Gonzalo Higuain. Who wouldn’t be flattered by that? I am and I don’t think it is a betrayal to admit that.



First of all, full of himself.

If that's true then really Marotta, really? Jovetic is not even close to the level of those 3 guys. Good luck adding yet another SS who has a career high of 14 goals.

Suns make valid points. Age or not, we do need players who score goals. Jovetic isn't one of those. He excels in nothing. Higuain is just 2 years older, better all round player and is actually exactly what we need.

Good luck trying to lure Tevez and Higuain after we said that. :lol:

People think 14 goals for a SS is not enough, but yet Del Piero who's a legend had 12-15 goals in majority of seasons he played :lol2:
For a 30m man, yes, yes it is. Don't forget who we're suppose to be getting right now. There are normal second strikers and then there are the ones worth 30m who score goals and create plenty of goals. Jovetic created 5 last season and 3 before. You need to produce on the pitch, that is it.. there is no other way around it. He has still not had a breakout season or even a season that makes you think that he can turn into someone from the old hype he had when he was 19. He has stagnated a bit.

Also, I don't like talking about injuries but clearly this dude gets injured a whole lot more than your average player.

Hopefully Ibra takes it as a crushing insult.
Maybe, maybe not.. But still those guys have to actually turn down other teams in order to join us and what Jovetic said out publicly isn't exactly what Higuain or any other top player we're trying to build our attack around wants to hear.

I missed the part where he said he wants to play under Wenger and become a better player with him.
Wait for his interview with an english newspaper and he'll say the right words there too. Maybe he could also talk about Arsenal's transfer targets and say that they want him ahead of Higuain and the rest. That will get the competition out of his way.

that's no argument

Higuain is 25.... and always scored more than 14

We need goals, not a fancy SS.
Are you really going to compare Higuain and Jovetic and their roles now ?

15 goals for an SS is very good.If Llorente scores just about the same or even more it would be a great return for us.

pretty sure if we had to buy del piero in similar situation like jovetic today, we would've paid a hefty sum for him who at that time was just another fancy italien dribbling SS who scored max around 15 goals/season, del piero was quite injury prone too.
