Yeah, can't see that happen either. My guess is that the transfer speculation is mostly based on the fact that he's the highest paid player in the league and has spent much of the season injured or playing below par. The performances could largely be explained by Zeman's management in my opinion. I wasn't surprised when he was sacked in february.

The Montenegrin has been widely linked with a move away from the club, with Arsenal leading the race for his signature, but the 57-year-old says nothing will be decided until after they face Pescara next week.

“At the end of the season, as I promised him, he will be able to have his say about whether he wants to stay or go," he told La Nazione.

“We’ll look to keep all of our best players. But only after the Pescara match will the ‘season’ start for sporting director Daniele Prade and technical director Eduardo Macia.

“Last summer we promised him that the squad would qualify for Europe and we managed to do that. We’ll wait for another week and then he’ll also be able to give us his thoughts.”

Hmmm :hmm:

According to Luca Toni

As quoted on the Sky Sports website, he said: “Stevan feels the Fiorentina fans treat him without love.
“Everybody says that the player’s struggles will end when he starts scoring again.
“The way I see it in this difficult period is that Jovetic is only supported when he is making a difference on the field. At the moment, there is no enthusiasm towards him – he does not feel loved.”

Shades of Wenger transfers circa 1999.

All he has to do is score four against Liverpool and it's plain sailing here for at least three years. No problem.

I'm not really fussed either way.

This one feels like it's got legs.

It's the worst kept 'secret' since Podolski.

I've seen various bullshit articles saying Higuain is agreed for 22m€ (see thread).

Will be interesting to see how we're lining up next season.

I dont think we'll change system.

He'll try to squeeze Jovetic into it

A striker in the hole could be great, would completely change how the system plays imo.

Plus Jovetic is a genius, will get the fans excited.
