Stevan Jovetic

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

He can play in the hole, as the lead forward or as a wide forward in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1

So if he ever signed you could have us line up like this:

RVP Kagawa Jovetic
-----Rooney-------

 

[vanthaman]

I don't think we are in for him, papers are just using our name to sell papers

True

 

[LR7]

Or his agent adding us to the mix to get City to up their bid.

 

[Mainoldo]

Reminds me of what Rooney use to be. Isn't he suppose to sign for us or city today?

Another one bites the dust,the season of players rejecting Man Utd.

Do you actually think we wanted him?

City looked pole to sign him and then all of a sudden on the Thursday someone chucked United's name into it, it was either a Twitter ITK causing trouble or City fans making the link so they could parade about how they 'beat us' to a transfer.

It never made sense.

 

[Ekeke]

This was another forward Arsenal were said to have signed If City get him, good on them. I think he'd be very good for them in Tevez role of last season playing off the striker

 

[Shinjisan]

Jovetic goes to City - Dzeko goes to Dortmund - Lewandoski comes to United - Rooney goes to Barcelona - Fabregas come to United?

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Jovetic goes to City - Dzeko goes to Dortmund - Lewandoski comes to United - Rooney goes to Barcelona - Fabregas come to United?

Haha

About as likely as 'indykalia' being the first to break a true story.

 

[Shinjisan]

Haha

I would like us to replace Rooney with Lewandoski. Fab might be a long shot.

 

[bosnian_red]

Tancredi says that Jovetic is set to join City, according to Sky Italia though so it probably doesn't mean much. Looks like happening though, as he apparently hasn't been called up for pre-season by Fiorentina so it'll be a good signing for them.

 

[psychdelicblues]

Sky sports are saying that Jovetic representatives are in Manchester talking to City.

 

[Ekeke]

We've clearly sent Woodward back to kidnap them ala Berbatov

 

[Bohman]

We've clearly sent Woodward back to kidnap them ala Berbatov

Or just to meet them... Wouldn´t be suprised if they scheduled a meeting with us as well.

 

[Bestie07]

This may well be the urgent transfer business that Woodward hss gone back for.

Smashing player but yet another star flees Serie A

Smashing player but yet another star flees Serie A

Is it right to call it fleeing? I was just looking at the biggest Serie A transfers and the ones with the Italian clubs being the buyers, are all around before 06. They just aren't willing to pay huge amounts of money anymore, and to be honest i don't blame them. Juventus are showing how it's possible to succeed without being obscene.

Good grief.

 

[The Neviller]

How is he signing for City? Did he not sign for Arsenal about 5 times in the last month?

 

[LR7]

How are all these going to fit into 4-3-3?
Dzeko, Aguero, Negredo and Jovetic vying for one position?

 

[RDCR07]

How are all these going to fit into 4-3-3?
Dzeko, Aguero, Negredo and Jovetic vying for one position?

Im guessing he is replacing Nasri on that attacking left wing role.

 

[Wittmann45]

How are all these going to fit into 4-3-3?
Dzeko, Aguero, Negredo and Jovetic vying for one position?

With Toure and Fernandinho as a strong midfield two, Jovetic, Aguero, Silva and one of Dzeko/Negredo can all play together

 

[RDCR07]

Aguero

Jovetic-----Silva------Navas

Toure----Fernandinho​

 

[LR7]

Im guessing he is replacing Nasri on that attacking left wing role.

Will Navas and Silva not be first choice in the two wide spots?

 

[LR7]

Aguero​

​

Jovetic-----Silva------Navas​

​

Toure----Fernandinho​

Works, though they're trying to implement Barça's 4-3-3 apparently.
Dzeko leaving would be my guess.

 

[Theon]

Where have you heard that from? Wouldn't suit their transfers at all, or get the most out of their current players.

 

[RDCR07]

You need at least three strikers. If one of the two gets injured it will be hard for a team. So Dzeko wont be leaving. Unless they wont be adding more strikers. I dont think Negredo is that much better than Dzeko for the former to replace to the later.

 

[SilentWitness]

Don't they still have Guidetti who is supposed to be highly rated? Or is he going to be shifted too? As they could sell Dzeko and reduce the wage bill and keep him.

 

[LR7]

The England midfielder hopes that Pellegrini’s plans to play a 4-3-3 formation and similar style to Barcelona will benefit him this season even though the £30m signing of Fernandinho has only increased the competition for midfield places.​

‘That’s the nature of the beast,’ said Rodwell ahead of City’s second game against AmaZulu FC in Durban on Thursday. ‘He’s a good player and we’ve got a couple of good players in that position already so it’s going to be hard. I knew there was going to be a lot of competition so hopefully it will bring the best out of me.
‘It’s going to take time to get used to the manager’s style of play. He likes us to press high up and press in numbers, really get the ball back as soon as possible and then play simple football. I think that’s the way to play at the moment. You look at Barcelona and it works for them so hopefully we’ll adapt.’

The new Barca then. Sure Jose will love that for another few years.

BREAKING: Fiorentina have eached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Stevan Jovetic.

26m € + 4m € adds-on.

 

[KM]

Class act, great signing.

 

[Ekeke]

Arsenal dont sign players, they just get linked to them for expensive prices and it appeases the fans

 

[Ramshock]

Thats one Woodward rumour shot down

 

[Gazza]

If City go 4-3-3 next season where do Silva and Nasri fit in? Genuine question as I imagine the front 3 will be Aguero+Jovetic+Another and the middle 3 you'd expect to be central midfielders.

 

[Someone]

How much did city spend so far this summer?
