Well said, Gil.

No, he would have more chances to play in Juve than Arsenal. he is not exactly a centerforward and he is better than Quagliarella,Vucinic,Giovinco ...

  

Absolute shite.

said this at the time of his transfer, would warm the bench...people tried telling me he would play out wide

Umm he's injured

Was more interested in trophies and silverware probably.

Citys not fault here, blame the pundits and the media for hyping him better than he really is.

he's injured lol

Hes not good enough, him being injured dosent mean anything.

WTF is this logic Jovetic being injured does not mean anything? The fact that he is hurt and is not fit to play means nothing

Hes not actually injured but pretending to be ill instead. Cant believe Pellegrini is buying that BS.

I kept looking over these updates and thinking that people were pretty callous about the quality of a guy who's been injured, but then I did more digging. I hadn't known about this little controversy. Damn.

Jovetic is the one insisting that he has muscle problems. Apparently the physios can't find anything wrong, though. So either the problem is too subtle, or it's psychosomatic, or (conspiracy theory option) Jovetic has a horrible attitude and is trying to weasel his way out of Man City and make a roundabout transfer to e.g. Juve.

Whatever the cause, a potentially great player is wasting away right now.

Well said. As the rest of you, do more research on the matter before you post.

i didn't follow him extensively this year, but has he been so bad that he deserved to be shafted out of City's CL team?

No but City can only pick 21 players so....

He's an idiot for joining City. What did he think, he'll bench Aguero and City would stop buying shinier toys than him? Everyone could see this scenario from a mile away if he didn't establish himself right away.

But it's okay, we'll save him in the summer.

Juve should jump on him. They were already interested in 2012 and 2013 but couldn't get him because the whole Fiorentina enviroment hates Juve. He's the perfect replacement for Tevez and the perfect fit for Allegri's football.
