Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I agree they are better, although we only play 1 striker at a time. 3 good strikers will make us like ManCity (4 strikers, 2 playing and 1 always extremely unhappy).Thats where jovetic's versatility comes into play as he can also play behind the striker and on the left wing,so if one of the 3 amigo's is not playing we can play jovetic on the wings or behind the striker and have somebody like huntelaar or bony available on the bench to make an impact.

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We mustn't let City sign him. He'd be awesome for them. He'd be awesome for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we would be fully prepared for any casuality, but that was how City thought. Look at them now, everyweek we have news of either Tevez, Dzeko or Balloteli.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Our recent purchase history shows that we're looking into versatile players and he fits the bill. Can play up front or on the wings/behind the striker. I'm in favor of this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Instead of lukaku(is very raw and needs 2 years on loan imo) somebody like bony/huntelaar/Llorente and we will have a very good strike force.None of them would like to be third choice striker...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Would be very good addition to our young squad. But he is not yet the one that can lead the line in hard moments. He is too young. However, he would fit great with this team, so versatile. For such player, he would also be worth a risk. I mean, 30mio is still much less than 50.And at height 1,83 and about 76-79 kg, the guy is not small at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We dont need another versitile player. We have enough of those now."He can play behind the striker" - And which striker would that be? Torres? HA!"He can also play on the left wing" - We dont need that. We got Hazard, Marin, even Mata can play there.We need a PURE striker. Signing Jovetic would be stuipid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I want a striker that opponents defenders will fear.I want a striker that is a BIG GAME SCORERI want a striker that is consistent every year in chipping 30+ goals in the net.I want a striker iniesta recommendedThe only way I want this guy is if a ball passing DM(fernadinho, jao moutinho, benat) can be bought too since his price is 30mil.

We don't want a bloke who can do this or do that if needed. I want a player who is a striker, whose whole purpose in life is scoring. However signing joevitic wouldn't be stupid....

termninja 5,290 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 No need for Jovetic. As it was said above, we need a pure striker. Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Marin and Moses with the addition of Sturridge who can also be deployed as a second striker or on the wing. Where would you fit a young player who wants to play week and week out in there?That said, he is a brilliant player. I used to watch him regularly when he was at Partizan and the team that brings him will do a great piece of business.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more could you want?Yeah i have no problem with him individually as a player, i was just saying in general i want a out and out striker and not someone who can do this this and this aswell. Compared to torres most people are an upgrade right now, i still think there are players we would be more suited too but its not like i would be against it. Put him up front for us now and i think we are sitting at the top of the prem loving life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great dribbler, link up play is superb, great technically and a great finisher. I don't understand why some people have said he isn't what we need, hes exactly what we need....Basically going by what I've seen in the last few pages, we want a player who can only finisher rather than a player who can do most things attacking wise? Ok guys that makes complete sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why some people have said he isn't what we need, hes exactly what we need....Basically going by what I've seen in the last few pages, we want a completely average player who can only finisher rather than an amazing talent who can do most things attacking wise? Ok guys that makes complete sense...I think its because he plays more off of a striker as opposed to upfront alone, and being as he would be the focul point of the attack that is maybe why some are a bit aprenhensive of him... But he is a great finisher and that is exactly what we need. Also helps he is 6ft to give us some sort of a target up top even if he is no where near drogba like.I think people are simply saying that what we have been missing is someone who can finish, so its not that they want an average player, but someone who is emmense at finishing as we don't want them to play in behind the striker or perhaps move wide we want someone who is a striker and can finish of the chances our 3 young creative talents can create.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have to agree. We need pure striking class. We don't want a bloke who can do this or do that if needed. I want a player who is a striker, whose whole purpose in life is scoring.I want him to substitute Sturridge (if he leaves, which seem probable). I agree we need a class clinical finisher for our team!That does not mean he is a bad striker, he has a very accurate shot and has all the atributes necessary to succeed in our team (movement, technique, finish, header, etc).I dream of Falcao/Cavani + Jovetic + Lukaku (loan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Rvp, Suarez or Aguero are not just pure finishers, they give much more to the team. Drogba was not just finisher. Sheva and Torres were just finshers and look what happend to them. I think a striker has to be at least useful in sth else, not just finishing. In example, if Falcao doesnt score, he is invisible all game. Cavani orJovetic try much harder to get the ball, go back to defence,...If Jovetic (or whoever) is not just finisher, why he wouldnt be great scorer too? Just because he offers more, it doesnt mean he cant score goals.And speaking about 'powerful force upfront evrryone fears'. Falcao wont just come here and start scoring for fun. He is not the type of Drogba player who was key of every game, even he didnt score. If we get Falcao, it doesnt mean he will be actualy good here.

Leif 6,006 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think he'd be a good buy - but only if we bring in an experienced, strong striker who'd give us a completely different dimension when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i was talking in general about our need for a finisher and not the need for someone. who like to play wide or prefers to play just in behind etc. We have a greater need for a finisher than someone else who offers a greater variety (However if they can do both then that is by no means a bad thing). As i said earlier my one worry specific to jovetic would be the fact he is used to playing behind a second striker, however as you rightly point out that doesn't mean he cannot play alone and i would have him in this team in a heartbeat.

Reddish-Blue 2,517 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Class player but Jovetic won't leave Fiorentina in January..and considering how well they are doing in Serie A, he might just stay a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
