I've read the opposite. He was claiming Sneijder to Spurs was as good as done apparently.
Jovetic

He is. His 1st touch is brilliant, pass him the ball from anywhere and he'd kill it in an instant and either play an intelligent pass to one of his teammates or turn his marker the wrong way and accelerate past him. For a team that plays the passing game(in a 4-3-3), quality 1st touch, close control, passing ability and mobility are the most important attributes for a CF to have IMO. The likes of Theo(pace merchant) or Drogba(a giant with a dodgy 1st touch and average close control) will never be the CF of say a team like Barca. I won't be shocked to see Gotze play that role for Bayern next season.
@[deleted] They've long abandoned their 3-5-2, it was somewhere half way through the season and have never looked back; results have been better and the football has been brilliant(the best in Italy). Cuardado is now playing as part of a front 3(with Jovetic and Ljajic), they have a flat back 4 and a midfield 3 of Pizzaro, Aquilani and Borja. It is a proper 4-3-3 with better passing and movements than we've shown this season. It's actually farcical they didn't qualify for the CL. I had the Fiorentina game on stream and the Milan game on tv this past weekend and I still can't beleive what I saw in those last 15 minutes in the Siena vs Milan game. The Italian league is still very corrupt.
By the way; Jovetic is no Drogba but he's more powerful than most think. I saw him outmuscle Van Buyten for his goal against Bayern few seasons ago.
Viola: 'No Jovetic-Arsenal talks'

Could this all be a load of BS? will be gutted
A single tear would scurry down my cheek and escape my bonds.
Meanwhile dailymail are reporting that we've spoken to his representatives but we are reluctant to pay anything more than £24million for him(Viola are looking for £30million).
And the same football Italia website are running with this
http://www.football-italia.net/34453/report-jovetic-agent-london
Thus wiping out any credibility it may have had
I don't really get where he'd fit in though.
Having said that, all good things are three.
Up front.

I'm told by a few followers in Italy that Daniele Pradè is not trustworthy at all #MindGames
I've been told the same thing by my ITK contacts. He's not very trustworthy. There is no formal bid from Arsenal yet but the club is interested in the player. That is all I have for now.
Mr. X is on OMITT!?!

He claimed they have agreed terms with the player, but Inter wanted to sell and Spurs only wanted a loan deal so agreement could not be reached.
He was also the one who confirmed RVP to United much earlier than anyone last summer.

To the numerous ITKs on this thread:
Is he really worth £25m?
The short answer is yes.
I want the long answer

Probably, yes.
