Hmm. Hard to call. We are quite useless but we have started to cobble some points together.

I hope this one happens in the Summer. Linked again today with Jovetic specifically talking about Arsenal.

"I've heard about Arsenal's interest," Jovetic is quoted as saying in the Sun. "It's a big pleasure for me to be on the radar of such a big club. I am happy about that.

"I've always had an affinity with Arsenal. It's a major club with a big tradition, one of the biggest in Europe. It's not easy to replace Van Persie, who scored a lot of goals.

"Arsenal have plenty of players who don't score like Van Persie, but are also very good. They are still very strong. I often watch Premier League games on TV. It's one of the best leagues in the world and looks tempting for me."

But easing fears he could look to force a move away from the Viola, Jovetic said: "Maybe one day I will play there but I have a contract with Fiorentina and battling for a Champions League place in Serie A is the only thing I'm thinking about now."

i think we're on the case. but coffee is for closers only, so lets see.

he said nothing to suggest we are ahead of the other contenders.
i would like to see him come in. maybe even throw in some Isco power

--- Podolski ---- Jovetic ---- Isco
------------- Cazorla ------------

one big summer, and Wenger can go back to his Gervinho/bargain basement ways thereafter.

He'll be expensive. He has class but lacks consistency. If he is bought this summer it is as much for his potential as for his present ability.

Then there are better ways to spend that level of money for us

we're a bigger club, and i think we just about edge them on the pitch. toni is a no mark talking out of his arse.

A real top club
Man City/Chelsea

Basically rendered his own argument invalid, if they're big clubs than we're absolutely massive.

Not that I care what this has-been thinks.

If Luca Toni's a hasbeen, what are we?
Citeh and Chelsea are winning things, particularly the latter, who just have a habit of picking up trophies just about every year. I will always love the club, even if Wenger succeeds in making us a midtable team, but it does hurt to know we are slipping relative to our peers.

Hmmm wouldnt blow 25 mill on him.

Looks too patchy

Based on last nights game? 😆 That was a quick turn around.

We'll be lucky if we get him and he'd be worth every penny.

He's the closest thing to a Wenger striker (I'm thinking Anelka/Henry, and to some extent RVP here). This Giroud debacle needs to end. He should focus on doing our media campaigns.

We won't be signing Jovetic, Wenger will never spend the money.

Just think he's have quite a few off games. He's not undoubted quality

We'd be buying for his potential.

Fascinated by our project? Really?

He's brilliant. Really hope we're getting him.

I think this will be done, especially after wengers reaction to jovetic rumours in January, and all the hoorah over his arsenal comments.

Reminds me of Del Piero

Would be a terrific signing. Already at a good level, but I think he is on the verge of getting to beast level. Last chance this summer for us to sign this kid I reckon.

He's never going to be beast level.

He'll eventually be a top player but he won't ever reach the bracket Henry, bergkamp, del piero, Totti and the likes were in

Those are mega beast though. 🙂

You never know, only question marks is whether he can impose himself physically and whether he can score from almost every chance given to him. His dribbling and shooting is definitely going to be beastly though.

This video really highlights his hold up play. Really calm on the ball

Massive upgrade on the madness we are dealing with. Even Wenger must be disgusted with waking up everyday to work with Gervinho, Walcott and Giroud. It's an affront on Arsenal.

His hold up play is just excellent.

So much in his locker as well. Can shoot can cross, got good vision and skills.

Anyway, Fiorentina have predictably denied everything, and not he's linked to City.

They kinda have to though don't they. Didn't Koln do the same with Poldi old team do the same?

When we signed Henry & Bergkamp we didn't realise they would hit the heights they did as well. Henry was struggling in Italy as was Bergkamp, I remember my mates screwing about Henry because he wouldn't be as good as Anelka according to him but we all know how that turned out.

I don't know anything about Jovetic but if Wenger is willing to spend big money to get him I'd be inclined to believe there might be something about him. Wasn't he heavily linked with big clubs before he did his knee in?

Woah there Jazz. 😆
