Rafa is fantastic in the transfer market so I have 100% faith that this lad will be awesome :p :;):

The deal is done

Done Deal,

I've not seen him play at all, but I think I like the lad allready

Just over a year ago he was linked with Merseyside rivals Everton, as well as Aston Villa, but rejected a move to Goodison Park out of hand.

"Everton aren't a big club. That club I have turned down already," Jovanovic said at the time.

Why is this still in rumors if it's a done deal? We need some actual proof here not some shoddy youtube vids......

Can someone post his stats on FM10?  :laugh: I uninstalled mine.

i'm still not convinced about his ability, if we're paying him 2-3 million pounds a year for 3 years i think we could've taken on someone else with a better pedigree.

with that said though, that's as far as i'm criticizing the guy. ALTHOUGH its the JUPILER LEAGUE  :D , from this link here i can see that he does seem to be one of those guys who always seem to be at the 'right place at the right time'. his positioning and timing seem to be great, but his finishing leaves me a little undecided. but he does seem to be a good penalty kick taker.

he's a left footer yeah but from what i've seen in this video he's no john arne riise.  :D  i wouldn't expect rockets from nowhere being launched by this guy. and it remains to be seen if he can cope with the defenders in this league - beat them on the run, fight them off and finish coolly.

anyways, it was rafa's decision to buy him. so like most fans on here, i will give him the benefit of the doubt, rather than sit on the fence - and wish US the best of luck :D  that he scores goals while he's here.



well until he does a voronin. then its out the door you rafa buy!
