Juventus F.C. [2011-2012]

[Juventino]

Meh, Verratti moves to PSG for Vidal money (12 mil). Too bad Marotta couldn't close the deal months ago for a lot less before PSG entered into it.

 

[Mus]

Kind of disappointed about Verratti, but you can't win them all I guess - Fantastic mercato thus far

If italian newspapers are to be trusted then we are very close to getting Jovetic!!!! Awesome. Matri + €15mil.

 

[kp41]

I think Matri is OK, he was Juve top scorer last year!!!!

 

[4ndr3i]

Yeah, Matri is ok but Jovetic is superstar material. I'll be so pumped if the transfer goes through.

 

[Mus]

Sweet

Always liked JoJo and it was great to see him bounce back from his injury so well

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Damn good player. If it wasn't for Robben's first magical goal of 2010, he would have knocked Bayern out of the CL in the first knockout round.

If that's the case it's a very good deal for us.
Although I like Matri, he is not much of a loss. And 15 mil for Jovetic is practically stealing him, even if you throw a player into the deal.

 

[Mus]

Damn good player. If it wasn't for Robben's first magical goal of 2010, he would have knocked Bayern out of the CL in the first knockout round.

I remember that, probably the best patch of form in his entire career those few weeks, I remember him raping Liverpool also

 

[Arnau]

Fiore's chairman has said he will only negotiate if someone splash with a €30m bid.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

That's exactly what he should say. Of all the crappy players who are being quoted at that price this summer, Jovetic is.... almost worth it.

 

[kp41]

he has quality for sure, but he had major injuries in the past + he's not a goal machine which Juve need at the moment. he scored 27 in 101 matches for Fiorentina. Average player like Matri scored 20 in 46.

Again, he's a good player but Juve need another finisher around him.

 

[4ndr3i]

Those stats are irrelevant. In his first year at Fiorentina he didn't get to play much as a forward, he was often deployed behind Mutu and Gilardino.

Anyway, last season he outscored any of our strikers with 14 goals in 27 games, and he's just 22. I know he's not a pure goal scorer but he's special, he adds so much more to the game.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

He's more like a false 9

 

[kp41]

He's more like a false 9

agreed, not the main striker. He need Vieri like player in front of him.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Well that would just be a 10.

 

[kp41]

I didn't watch lots of Juve matches lately, I'm not sure whether he can suit as "False 9" or "10" in their tactics. Perhaps Juve fans can hint on this.

 

[Arnau]

Giovinco---Van Persie---Jovetic

 

[4ndr3i]

It's either Jovetic or Van Persie, I doubt we'll get both. And I want Jovetic... screw RVP.

 

[kp41]

Giovinco---Van Persie---Jovetic

that can make them serious contender for champions league.

why not both? they can raise good cash from selling Krasic, (Quagliarella or Matri) and the likes of Melo, Iaquinta, Motta and other flops which they loan every year.

Btw, I feel sorry for Elia. He joined Juve in hope of succssfull year and possible impact at euro. He played few matches, missed euro, and wasted one of his best years. That transfer was very Real like transfer.
