Just took a look on Youtube and he came across as hit and miss, reminded me of Barnes who can be equally exquisite and poor. Several misses a few yards out when he just needed to make a decent contact and contrast with good goals and assists. He seems a real mixed bag, from what I have just seen, he is not an upgrade to what we have already. On ability, saw a lot of him at Frankfurt where he looked exceptional, exceptional enough for Madrid to fork out a fair bit of money for him. If he can hit 70% of those heights again you'll have a helluva player on your hands. This time last year if someone mentioned signing Jovic people would be astounded and delighted, one poor season where he's not had much of a chance due to Benzema's form doesn't make him any less of a good player. Sometimes moving to such a big club so young doesn't work out and such players go on to have great careers, look at someone like Thierry Henry for example, similar situation to him at Juventus as Jovic at Madrid. There are tons of other such examples.

Surprised he was so poor in front of goal, I suppose lack of time in the team causes lack of sharpness.Are we looking to play as a 2 or Vardys' eventual replacement. The thought is football has moved away from the two upfront and if Rodgers holds to this principle then Jovic will not want to leave a situation that he had endured to play second fiddle to Vardy.
Beechey Posted 10 July 2020 Posted 10 July 2020 Gonna be sad when we end up signing Benteke and Townsend...

I don't think playing two up top is the question here, I think the more pertinent question is do ou want to wait unti Vardy is dead on his feet before replacing him or do you succession plan properly and bring someone in who's A: good enough in his absence, which Nacho isn't and B: by having that dependable additional striker you can pick and choose Vardy's games more carefully which may get another year or two out of him overall.
kyleolly Posted 10 July 2020 Posted 10 July 2020 How can we question signing him because it might upset Vardy, he always goes on about not being bothered if he scores or not as long as the team get points, Jovic is at a different level to what we’ve got currently vards and Jovic as a partnership would be deadly next season

If he's commented then there's certainly some interest our end and had an indication he may be willing to join. Rodgers wouldn't normally comment on a player like this would he?

Mike Oxlong Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 The lad must be excited at the prospect of a move to a bigger club
Deeg67 Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 Jovic is a classic example of why moving to the biggest club possible can be a disaster for a young player. Their careers are insignificant to the big clubs, as is money - throwing a lot of it at a player and then keeping them around gathering dust as insurance is nothing to them. Pulisic is another good example - he should never have gone to Chelsea, and Chelsea is no Real Madrid. That said, I'm highly skeptical Jovic would sign with us. In his mind, he can still do better.

Nick Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 I have zero idea what to think about this. I’ll be here all weekend, consistently delivering this kind of insight - on all Jovic related matters.

Surely if they were quoting Rodgers they would put his words in quotation?
frany104 Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 We always get linked to this sort of player and it never comes off! He would be a top signing. Exactly what we need. A partner for a vards in the short term and the long term replacement for him too. Get him in!
That_Dude Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 Can't see it happening unless Nacho's on his way out, which would be a shame. I also doubt Jovic would come here to play second fiddle.

Things change though l guess. You reach a point where money is irrelevant I suppose. If he’d scored some of the goals with a club like ours, he’d he immortalised like Vardy, Kasper, Wes etc It’s crazy to think how Madrid have vilified him after some of the goals he’s scored.

Pulisic is doing alright in Chelsea this season, I think. However you're right, Jovic's move was a disaster waiting to happen since Real Madrid and the likes are clubs where you are either as a confirmed player or exceptionally talented. They won't give you much time to adapt and will throw you to the wolves if you fail to live up to the very high expectations. It would be a class signing but I fail to see where he would fit.
