Is it supposed to mean something special ( honest question) ?
Wtf? Ngog and Babel overrated? Am I missing something here?
Babel was rated at one time.
N'gog, I take your point.
Jovetic may turn out to have a great career and be a very good player, but so far he is only 20, and aside form people such as yourself (vuc) most have only seen him play in a couple of games, all of a sudden he is rated as one of the best young players in the world - this is far too much and leads him to be called 'over-hyped' by people such as me.
I haven't said anything, so don't be pointing fingers.
You reckon he is one of the most over-rated players in 10 years - I'd say that was the overreaction here.
Italy has a strong sense of identity, so as a foreigner to be treated like a "family member" by the country's leading sports newspaper surely is an admission of sorts to your quality.
No offense but how is Ngog overated? he cost 1.5 million and is 20. People just looking like spas here....
Italian journo's hate Mourinho but still call him "Mou" don't they
without him they'd sell twice less papers, so I think it's more of a submission mantled by familiarity, just as you would try and act friends with your boss and call him by his name.
Am thinking the same to be honest, he could turn out to be a bargain IMHO. He's nowhere near the finished article yet, but at the age of 20 already does a job for Liverpool with a scoring record of about 1 in 4. That's not too bad after all considering he's playing for a struggling side and lacks experience.
I said he was one of the most over-HYPED youngsters of the last 10 years. Which was intended to be an exaggeration.
Who's out there around the same age as good if not better than him and have played consistently as well as him last few years?

his performance today didn't contribute much to changing my opinion on him sadly
Well, you rate Tosic. Says it all.
After 2 goals against Bayern in the week, he has 2 assists and a goal today. The goal did come when the keeper was out of the net though, tbf.
Every time I've seen him (which isn't that much in all honesty) he looks like a good player. Defo some talent there - I wouldn't mind him playing for us - Especially if he plays on the left
Seems like a tidy enough player. Italy is suits him though imo.
Good leap to win the header to set up Gilardinho's second. Seems he's only going to get more and more Rooney-like.
He plays two positions we could really use(left wing/second striker) and seems to be fairly powerful. The way he shrugged off the Bayern player for his second was great.
that's smart remarks and there's being a dumbass...
Time will tell if stevan can hit the heights of someone like a Rooney. What's the most he's got in a season?
Sounds like the type of striker we could do with (only seen him play a few times) but we should be after a striker that could play up front in a 2 against most sides and wide left when we play 4-3-3.
Well, we WERE heavily linked with him before he came to Fiorentina...
To be truthful though we've been heavily linked to every young player pretty much.
Got 19 in 27 in his last season for Partizan. Has four goals in the CL this season, coincidentally as many as Rooney..
Any news on Jovetic ?
I doubt we will be going in for him considering we have 6 Zillion young strikers coming though. If we buy then I imagine it will be a striker that is ready to make an impact in the first team such as Dzeko!! But I would be very happy if we got Jovetic as he is a class act and has probably more potential than any of our young strikers coming through!
You know its approaching silly season when old threads of all players ever linked to us are bumped randomly.
He can also play out wide on the left and in cental attacking midfield positions. I've seen him play about six or seven times for Fior and he's the kind of player that can really get you out of your seat.
I'll have you know all my thread bumps recently weren't random.
Quite day for the Sunday Rags so just thought I would add a bit of muppetry and say that this kid would be my preferred signing if we were to sign anyone!! Balotelli would be nice but I would still prefer Jovetic - a goal scoring attacking midfielder, big tall lad with electric pace and great skill who can play as second striker who has shown glimpses of becoming a sensation. I hope Mancini is not reading this as he if he is then you can be sure City will make a bid for him tomorrow!
Balotelli and Jovetic will be future superstars. Jovetic would be cheaper so I'd take him plus the Brian May factor
Based on your scout report?!
Jovetic is my long term muppet target. I'd love for us to sign him.
I've been reliably informed that this lad is the dogs bollocks
I think it was just last week that the Fiorentina manager said he could leave next season.
I try to resist the muppetry but this lad would thrive under Fergie and would terrify defenses alongside Rooney! Ive been a fan of Jovetic ever since the Liverpool game
he is not an attacking Mid.. He is a wide striker or second striker but hardly an attacking mid.. I know its almost the same but there are still minor differences.. Correct me if I am wrong guys..
YOu are correct, i explain his position earlier on in the thread.
why do you care?
