a lot of buzz back to Jovic now. Is he still worth it or has the Madrid gig ruined him completely?
Didn't watch him much last season, but what's kind of worrying to me is that he was on loan at Frankfurt, they sold Silva and still he went back to RM. If Frankfurt didn't want to keep him that's a bad sign.
Was never on the cards he'd return for good, he makes 10m a year at Frankfurt he'd have gotten 2m.
He's had motivational issues in his career everywhere, at Benfica he got chubby and went out clubbing a lot, at Madrid the money and lifestyle also apparently got to his head after falling into a hole because of Benzema's undroppable form. Only under Kovac and Hütter did he really play up to his talent and in his last six months on loan not even here. Difficult to say if he can come back, he did it once already but under pretty specific circumstances (squad full of Yugoslavs to help bed him in since he's pretty shy). He's still just 23 and hasn't had any major injuries, he's strong as an ox and a top 10 finisher in world football with either foot or head. Definitely still worth giving it a shot
