Stevan Jovetic

I've always like Jojo and hoped we'd bring him here. He could make an excellent cheaper alternative if the Hulk deal breaks down. But I haven't read anywhere that we are actually linked with him.

We're definitely interested as far as I know, but the rumours of a €25m bid are well wide of the mark. I don't see why the Hulk deal would affect our bid for Jovetic. Seems like a replacement for Malouda if anything. Jovetic is not an alternative to Hulk, just a player we're interested in as well.

Doubt that. It makes no sense.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Doubt that. It makes no sense.

How does it make no sense? Hulk is a right-sided player, Jovetic is not.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

How does it make no sense? Hulk is a right-sided player, Jovetic is not.

Where are all these players going to play? Where is Sturridge going to play? How many players will be content with sitting on the bench? Thus it makes no sense...

Thats irrelevant to the fact that the Hulk deal does not affect our interest in Jovetic. Hulk is* being bought for the right side, Jovetic is not.

*Of course its not a guarantee that he will join, nor Jovetic.

Well they are both strikers and we are being linked to buy another striker. If one is bought this transfer window then the other wont be. Thats why i see chelsea looking for avenues to make porto sell Hulk much cheaper than 38mil.

The Hulk deal does affect our interest in Jovetic.

If we buy Hulk, what's the point of spending 25 million on Jovetic?

Seems like a poor point to prove your argument, 'what's the point?'. I don't get why it is such a hard concept to grasp, they play in different positions, one is not dependant on the other. If we do not sign Hulk, and sign Jovetic, who plays RW?...

Oh, and Chelsea would not pay £25m for Jovetic.

Sounds like you lost the argument. We can't buy both Jovetic AND Hulk for the reasons I asked you. While you have provided me with no reasoning whatsoever and continue on insisting both Jovetic and Hulk can be bought......

Lost the argument? They play in different positions, therefore one deal is not dependant upon the other. That was my argument, and it still stands. You fail to understand the fact that Hulk is a target for the RW, Jovetic for either the LW/CAM.

Is it really that difficult?

You fail to see we have Mata, Marin, KDB, Hazard for LW/CAM. So we're going to buy a player who will only push others players further down the pecking order? Or are you insisting we buy a 25 million bench warmer?

Again, irrelevant. I give up with you.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Again, irrelevant. I give up with you.

Again, not irrelevant. You need to learn that just because you call something irrelevant, doesn't make it so. That is a very childish way to act. I have clearly debunked you argument and it would be advisable you recognise your mistake and not act like a "sore loser".

It is completely irrelevant.

My point: They play in different positions therefore one deal is not dependant upon the other.

That was it, just that. I'm not considering playing time/cost/wages etc. The point still stands and is completely logical. You can question Chelsea's interest in Jovetic all you like, i'm not interested in talking about that. The fact that you've listed players we already have in Jovetic's position kind of proves my point correct. We have players that play LW/CAM, but none on the RW, which is where the interest in Hulk stems from.

If we sign Jovetic, and not Hulk, we still do not have a RW, correct? If we sign Hulk and not Jovetic, we have our RW. If we sign both, we have a true RW (to a degree) and back up for LW/CAM.

I'm not saying we should sign Jovetic, as frankly I see no place for him here, but we are definitely interested, that much can be said. Not for £25m however.

[Beepu 1,714]

Everyone grab your popcorn and watch these two argue!

[Spike 12,049]

Lads, it's one or the other. Don't get your knickers messy over semantics.

Finally, you've nicely explained your point of view. I understand what you're saying but I am assuming that if we buy Jovetic it won't be to warm the bench, which is why it is safe to assume he would play RW. Thus he would impact on whether we buy Hulk or not. If we do buy both Jovetic and Hulk as well, Sturridge can kiss the Chelsea shirt goodbye.
