Hey Dunc I can't believe you published that non-story about Jovanovic on the main site. Its 10 days old (even if the British press have only just got it) and the quoted source of it does not even have a quote from Jovanovic.
Also there have been stories in the last three days about him confirming he is coming to Liverpool. Why not post them, give us something to cheer about!
I can't say too much but i have a friend who knows Shelveys dad quite well. He's told me how much we're paying Shelvey and it's shocking. There's international players at established premier league clubs who aren't earning that amount.
is it true he has a 5 first team appearances clause?
I'll admit to not having seen Jovanovic other than the odd occasion and in the World Cup games lately and doesn't strike me as anything special. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he's played for us a bit and judge him then, but smells like another Voronin at this moment in time (ageing, eastern European journeyman forward). Let Rafa have him if he wants.
I don't see anything special about Jovanovic but i do know that Standard Liege fans are livid that he's leaving. He was very much viewed as the star of the team and they have some excellent players.
"Give your souls to your Gods and load your guns, Its time to deal in lead. We are the legions of the damned, The army of the already dead...."
By all accounts he can play and his only 28, he should be in his prime. I don't think he'll be another Voronin, that would be damn hard! I'd rather have him than not have him, he had a good goal scoring and assists record at Standard Liege.
Bojan Krkic + Cash for Mash = Hell Yeah we'll have some of that.
This is apparently what Barca will offer, if they do its a good deal, Bojan is only 19 and is some talent. For this reason I don't see it happening but I'd be happy if it did.
