Not very good, because Jovetic would be rather restricted playing on the right hand side.
Is he left footed? Because if not it wouldn't be that bad, it's not his normal position but it's not like he is playing as a winger in a 4-4-2, he can drift in and link up with other players

No he is right footed.

It isn't as bad as being a winger in a 4-4-2. But still, Jovetic's strength is playing right off the striker and having the freedom to roam behind him. Even though he is free to drift in, he would still not feel comfortable playing primarily on the right imo.

He could come from the left with Seba on the right.
Seba didn't seem comfortable in that position when he was tried there a couple of times last season.

A player of Jovetic's talent should not be restricted to one side of the pitch.

He needs the space to roam and perform his magic that is already well beyond his years

Exactly. Which is why he should play in DP's position if he were to come to Juve.

A 4-3-1-2. With the front trio being Diego played behind the duo of Jovetic and [insert Iaquinta or Amauri] would probably be the most suitable formation to get the best out of Jovetic.

Defense, Defense, Defense.

That's what this team needs.

Good thing Carceres is only there on loan.
He wasn't that bad. I mean not as bad as Grygera, average maybe, he didn't do any errors defensively, he just wasted some attacking opportunities. I would still give him time till the end of the season, then see if he is good enough to stay. Don't forget he didn't have enough time to settle in..

That would be a dream if that were to happen.

The sting of Delpiero's imminent retirement would be tempered greatly.

Of course, the people in Fiorentina would be rioting in the streets again just like they did 20 years ago if that were to ever happen.

They'll get over it.

I think

Also don't forget that his original position is CB not RB.
True, but he's not going to get very much playing time at that position unless there are a rash of injuries.

And if that happens, this season is basically over.

Picking up that option at the end of the season for what he could potentially bring as a CB is a dangerous and expensive gamble

True, and i am not saying he should get any playing time at CB actually. I'm just saying that judging the player based on his performances at RB are rather unfair, as he is being played out of position.

He was brilliant in Recreativo and he has always been solid for Uruguay when playing at CB.
