According to Italian newspaper Corriera Dello Sport, Jovetic's agent is in London to meet Arsenal representatives.


This rumour is gathering pace!

Here's the link: http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/?action=read&id=367122

If we sign Jovetic, RVP can fuck off for all I care.

He isn't really a striker. More like an attacking midfielder/deep lying forward. A bit like Arshavin (without the laziness and short stature).

think thats what we need tbh. Pod i think will be used on the left. Giroud as a front man to replace RVP

This guy behind in a creative role could be great. Dont think it will happen though, he is way to big for us. Above Arsenal

He would be perfect behind the striker. Would replace what we've lost with Cesc's departure in terms of creativity.

How is he too big for Arsenal? He's won nothing in his career so far, been involved in a relegation dogfight last season, and is still only 22. He would fucking jump at a chance to join us.

other big teams want him. I agree we should easy get such players. Just seems abit to good to be true going by the last 7 years of transfers (apart from aa23)

Firstly, some good news.


http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/9 ... at-arsenal


Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is desperate to tie his top players down to new deals having seen Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and now Robin van Persie hold the club to ransom with just 12 months left to run on their contracts.

Wenger is poised to open negotiations with England winger Theo Walcott, who only has a year left, along with teenager Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the next few weeks, but central defender Koscielny is first in the queue.

According to French paper L'Equipe, Koscielny will be offered a new five-year deal that will take the 26-year-old through to 2017 on vastly improved terms.

Koscielny has been a big success following his transfer from Lorient in 2010, despite playing in the French second tier only three years ago.

He has four caps for the French national team, with the latest coming at Euro 2012 when he started against Spain in the quarter-finals.

Manchester City, Barcelona and AC Milan have all taken a shine to Koscielny, but Arsenal hope a new contract will put paid to any transfer talk.

Koscielny is expected to sign on in the next few weeks, and will be boosted by the arrival of close friend Olivier Giroud from Montpellier.


Now, to expect some poor news. :shock:

Only Liverpool have been reported to have made a bid for him as of yet this summer. There was another tenuous link with Chelsea and that is it. Wenger loves Jovetic and bid for him on deadline day last summer, but the bid was predictably rejected.

If we really want Jovetic, we have a great chance of signing him, absolutely. We offer CL football which is a massive draw for players, we'll offer him a decent wage, most likely a starting place and the chance to develop and fuck off elsewhere when he grows tired of Wenger's trophyless policies.

That article basically says that the agent was in london and had a meeting with AW, so who knows?

I think it (this deal) will depend on much we get for RVP - as the asking price for Jovetic is in the £16 - £20 mill bracket.

fingers crossed. :rubchin:

Since Fiorentina are trying to buy Chamakh off us, we could do a swap deal. £15m + Chamakh for Jovetic would be ace.

mate. we took to long. when we first had the option to sign him the chavs wasnt even in the running

we delayed and took to long. He was on 30k a week and we could of got him for about 50-60 and for about 15mil

Wenger didnt bother as he was waiting on nasri. Then the chavs came in and by then it was to late as we would never win a bidding war
