He's not an ipod, shirt names are hardly a craze you tend to notice. Ronaldo makes vast sums in shirt sales for Madrid, you could go to Spain or any country in the world where Madrid are big and you'd be hard pressed to spot a 'craze' in the street.

I am not saying I am looking for this craze in the street b from what I see when I watch matches with other fans in my country... As I said I had no actual figures to back up my statement so I am not sure whether this is true or mot
 
But i also think his more recent negatives and stubbornness have made people think very differently about him. It has also made Arsenal be the 3rd/4th best team in the country and not higher if he had been less stubborn. If he didn't have any money to spend then yes fair enough but he does. He is still a great manager but behind and way behind Jose and Fergie i believe.

He doesnt have money to spend. If he had Mata would be playing in Arsenal and not in Chelsea for example. Club has sizeable funds, but that doesnt mean Wenger can spend it.

For a club who finished 3rd the season before to pay 16 odd million for Mata should be viable. The reason you didn't is because the board wanted to make sure someone left first. You took too long and missed out big time.

Yes the board decided to wait. Nothing Wenger can do about it.

I understand that, then the board have to take the flack for the lack of success in terms of trophies which in the end makes you lose your top players.

Well our board is just pure **** and has been like that since DD left.
 
Great to see Nando scoring, can only do his confidence good. Hope that the further Spain go he continues scoring and who knows maybe he might have a golden boot to take home at the end of it ;)

Jovetic rumours heating up.. Reports that we have lodged a 20m bid which Fiorentina are seriously considering

Yeap 25m € offer on table and Fiorentina want to hear from Jovetic if he wants to stay. Montella wants to build team around him.
 
Is he really worth 25 millions, he is not bad, but If he gets signed he won't be much of a starter so it's a bit expensive

Montella realises Jovetic has outgrown them and lets be honest, Fiorentina finished 15th in the Serie A and I cant seem them getting back into Europe anytime soon. I really want Jovetic. Very versatile as he can play anywhere across the 3 behind a striker in a 4-2-3-1 and can also play as a striker

Also he is younger(only 22/23) and will be cheaper than Hulk and will not mind a rotational role. Also knocked in 14 goals this season in the Serie A despite the poor season Fiorentina had

Fairly tall and he has good strength so he will not have much difficulty adapting to the EPL. Excellent technical skills. Very good with the ball and good dribbling and is excellent at playing through balls. Tracks back willingly. Great finisher around the box

I would take Jovetic over Hulk easily. Leaves enough money to buy a world-class regista and back-up RB

Fiorentina are still top 8 team in Serie A IMO and last season was blip mainly. But if he decides to leave I think Fio can get more than 25m € from him. I think 25m + 5m on success could get him if Fiorentina decline initial bid.

I also think Jovetic is better choice than Hulk for Chelsea.

Top 8 in Serie A is still not Europe and that is if it was really a blip season for Fiorentina....Really like Jovetic as a player. Hulk is great but Jovetic will add a new dimension to our attack while Hulk will just improve existing ones

Considering his versatility, age and ability yes he is worth 25 million. Why wont he be starting? His versatility makes him a great choice for any position.

A rotating three of:
Hazard - Mata - Jovetic

Behind Nando is a scary prospect on paper.

Does he want to play in Europe? At some point probably yes, but does he want to change country and club for european football now?

We will see soon. If Fiorentina negotiate or accept the offer it means Jovetic wants to move and if they refuse he wants to stay. Pretty simple.

Jovetic is one of the most promising prospects in Europe IMO and would be spoken in same sentence with Hazard, Götze and so on if it werent for that injury which kept him out for almost whole season. He recovered well from it and I believe he will be much better and stronger next season.

Getting Jovetic would add excellent depth to the squad and give us options to rotate depending on the opposition. Something which we lacked last season as we had freaking Malouda as cover.

---------------------------Torres/Lukaku-----------------------------
---Hazard/Marin----------Mata/Jovetic----------Ramires/Sturridge----

Although with the versatility of Hazard, Mata, Jovetic and Marin we can switch them around. Lots of options there and very good depth so barring a truly horrific injury crisis, that looks like a great attacking unit on paper

The same could be said for any good prospect though. Does he want to move? Does he want to go to a big club now?

Personally I think Jovetic is ready. He has outgrown Fiorentina and will improve much more as a player at Chelsea in the EPL. He is also 22/23 which is the ideal age for him to make a major move to a bigger club just as he is entering his prime years.
