Stevan Jovetić - AM/SS - Manchester City (24 Viewers)

[Suns]

You only talk about numbers. I bet you didn't see any matches of him playing besides the ones against Juventus.

Yeah, I think numbers tell a whole lot of the story.

And there are a lot of other things that worry me about this signing. He's expensive, he's not very consistent, has stagnated in his development, isn't coming off the best of seasons, has big problems with injuries and I don't know if people remember but he missed the whole 10/11 season. Having all of these injury problems and missing a whole season before the age of 23 is a big red flag.

Maybe all Jovetic needs to break through to the next level of his gamw is to play in a world class team. His upside is too great to pass on. Buy.

Judging by the market prices these days I'd say no. ?

It's not like he comes dirt cheap now. We're probably not going to agree on this but I don't see what's so good about Jovetic.

And you would rank Higuain there?

Yeah, I would. We're talking about a striker that has scored goals consistently on all levels while suffering from Mourinho tactics. He has a few deficiencies but Higuaín managed to hold on to a starting place in the Argentian NT, being placed above the likes of Aguero, Millito, Tevez, etc.

 

[Vlad]

You think Higuain is unproven?

His La Liga record is excellent one but we all know how good clubs defend there. On the other hand in Europe he scored 8 goals in 48 apps for Real. Not a top player by any means.

It's not like he comes dirt cheap, given his past 2 seasons anything over 15M is too much

8 goals in CL from 48 apps is not consistent.
Jojo took apart the likes of Liverpool and Bayern.

One more thing. Considering you love numbers take a look at this pic:

Majority of the forum (not me) are saying Marchisio was one of the best players for us this season. When you look at that pic you'd see he didn't score/assist in the first 6 rounds, and after he didn't score/assist for 11 rounds. Yes, I know he's not a SS, yeah. Point being - it's about performances as well, not just numbers.

It's only a fact that you weren't watching Fiorentina, but only matches against Juventus.

Also, think again before posting goals. Remember our own Del Piero was scoring 12-15 goals in majority of his seasons.

Please, stop making silly posts.

First of all, nobody is saying Marchisio is one of our best players last season. It's actually the opposite, people think he has kinda had a below Marchisio level season comparing to the one before. And also, you said it yourself, Marchisio is not a striker or SS like Jovetic. Marchisio is a CM and has a lot of duties in defence.

Give them Gabbiadini and cash. Keep Marrone.

That's all.

8 goals in CL from 48 apps is not consistent.

You do know that the majority of the games in the CL that Real face are bad teams? So you're basically telling us that Higuain can't score against the mighty Bate Borisov and Basel. He has scored over 130 goals in all competitions the last 5 seasons, I think that's pretty damn consistent.

And you are saying exactly what?
Scoring 20+ goals in league where your team in the last 4-5 years scored averagely 90+ goals and where most clubs don't park the bus while at the same he fail to prove his goalscoring abilities in Europe where teams play more serious football.
Look at his performances in QF and Semis this and last year. Where was he? How many goals did he score?
Is that the player that will take us to another level in CL?

This is so fuckin' stupid but sure let me entertain this discussion for a moment. Higuain has scored 20 goals in 32 games for Argentina, aren't the South American teams serious enough for you?

How many of these were on the big stage?

 

[Salvo]

Wait, a season ago, if we were linked with Jojo or even a chance to get him everyone would have been creaming there pants. Whats changed now?

Who cares?

This shit reminds me of when people used to say the same thing about Messi, Ibra and Cristiano a few years back.

At that point he was 19-20 talent, hadn't stagnated in his development and didn't have major issues with injuries and out for a whole season. Problem with knees at a young age like this is bad, bad business you don't want to be close to.

I wonder why RM fans want desperately to get rid of him calling him a choker? And I've watched quite a few number of their games as I have soft spot for them since Suker's days and Higuain would flop here. He wouldn't be having as near as many opportunities in front of the goal. It would be 30M down the drain.

Real Madrid fans are delusional and wanted to get rid of Robben, Sneijder and many others. They are extremely spoiled and I wouldn't exactly care about what they say.

Like I said, my point was performances given on the pitch. No, majority thinks he was very good and he's like 2nd most who won on that poll MoM.

It's about the fact that you DIDN'T watch Jovetic. You watched wikipedia and espn sites to describe him.
