You want me to fetch you the glorious compilation of Benzema's missed sitters and epic fails?

Seriously, stop your pathetic agenda against the kid. It's his first year, he's still very young, he rarely ever plays and, more importantly, nobody ever claimed that he's the next R9.

Looked mostly unlucky, to me. He didn’t expect it to rebound off the post, so he had to stretch out his leg to connect with the ball, which limited the power and angle of the shot. The goalie did well to save it with his leg, still. I suppose you could argue that Jovic should’ve anticipated the rebound, as well as the trajectory of it, but that’s a bit harsh, I think Razz

I like this good cop, bad cop thing you’re doing with Jovic though, ChadAngel Laughing

You have to understand, when you're not a fan of the club and just a player, you post horseshit like what Varangel did because, simply put, the love for the club is not there. No actual fan would post that as Jovic is a Madrid player and is carded as an investment for the future (or immediate tbh) and we all want our guys to succeed. Shit, I think Conetois is a shit keeper but I hope he continues to not be one. Hala is in love with Regi but he still supports Mendy. Thimmy is legally bound to support Odegaard but he'll be a Madrid fan when Ode heads to Everton.

In any case, Jovic is 23 in a new league, new team and in a new country. He has a lot of learning and I personally do not think Madrid is gonna wait around for longer than a season for him to fully catch himself but at the same time, I think he has the ability to succeed here. If he doesn't, well, Madrid would just buy someone else. Anelka was bought for 30 plus million (maybe 20+, can't remember), he was rubbish bar a few CL games and Madrid ended up buying someone else. It's the way the club works. Being a fan, you know these things (:

Say what you will about Chad, but as opposed to Varangel he is also clearly a Real Madrid fan on top of being a Benzema maniac

I don’t know if you’re joking, they’re clearly, obviously the same person. I’m sure Chad wants to have a go at Jovic, but he knows we would just write it off as him protecting Benzema, as that’s what he’s done with our past strikers, and that’s simply the only thing he’s capable of doing with every inch of talent in his body. Instead, he plays the level-headed, patient guy (those are extinct on this forum) and lets Varangel do the criticizing for him.

Luka Jovic takes full responsibility for breaking regulations regarding the Corona pandemic, but claims he broke isolation because he wasn't aware of the rules. He says he doesn't want to blame the authorities for his ignorance, but points towards differences in regulations between Spain and Serbia.

Either way, I second Sport's assessment of his behavior in this situation.

I wonder if Dortmund will entertain a swap, Jovic for Haaland hmm

We'd need to put in more than 100m for that to go through.

by Cyborg on Sun Mar 29, 2020 10:18 pm

Nah, Haaland's release clause will be 75 mil January 2021. That's 10 months away.

I think a deal could be done. Dortmund may ask for Hakimi to be included as well.

But Hakimi is so good. I don't want him sold.

FYI... Mbappe only has 2 years left on his contract. He's on a free in June 2022.

I thought we were speaking about summer.

I think we're front runners for him if we bring in Ødegaard though. At the same time would be good. It means a lot for player that they know they'll be treated well if we are to lure them to our club. Summer 21 would be perfect to get them both since I think Benzema will be 100% shot by that time and no striker is getting a chance over him.

by Cyborg on Tue Mar 31, 2020 2:42 pm

I meant this summer, a deal could be done.

But I just thought it best to mention his release clause next year.

But if Mbappe is available in 2021. I'll go with Mbappe. Proven.

He needs someone to spell it out to him that he can't leave isolation? Psh, no wonder he has struggled to nail down a starting spot, the young lad is a bit of a dunce. Shame, was totally in his corner.

Oh well, on to the next hopeful forward I suppose.
