The Serbian Superman - Welcome Luka Jovic

Apparently it’s Jovic that wanted out, can’t say I blame him, he could have sat on the bench and collect his check the entire but the guy wants to play, have to respect that.

Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt have completed and signed the paperworks. Luka Jovic is back on loan to Eintracht until the end of the season.

Real will pay part of his salary, Luka asked to leave and Zidane allowed him to join Eintracht. Here-we-go 🤝⚪️ #Real #transfers https://t.co/t0APpDJAzM

He can play himself back to Madrid, I think. At least, he can play himself back to a reasonable "price" tag.

 

Damn, we have this habit of paying off our failed signings. *Sighs*

Well, no one forsaw how bad Jovic would be to be fair.

 

When did he have a good game though?

 

Half the minutes he played for us he was asked to play a role he was even suited for. The team is practically the a bad 80s TV show at times with difference being the weird Macguyer hacks dont always beat the bad guys and we don't have a plan a B.

 

Watch him shine for frankfurt now that ZZ isn't there to halt him anymore.

 

It’s not really a habit in this case, he’s not going to go back to Frankfurt and halve his wages and give that move the green light.

 

No..You are just a Zidane hater. Zidane has flaws but even his flaws are flawless.

Jovic is discarded because he is crappy on & off the pitch.

Hazard plays even though he is crappy on & off the pitch because he cost 40M more than Jovic. And Perez is probably forcing Zidane.

Asensio plays because Perez refused to sell Bale.

Isco is getting minutes because Perez refuses to get rid of oldies like Kroos & Modric.

Marcelo plays because Perez didn't sell him before Zidane took over.

Militao doesn't play because Perez didn't sell Varane.

Odegaard doesn't play because Perez refused to buy Casemiro's replacement.

Full props to Zidane for winning a league last year even though it was Perez who choses the starting XI and the subs... On top of that Zidane has absolutely no say in transfers either. Mendy is the only exception. Since Hazard and Jovic are no good we should assume it wasn't Zidane's decision to sign them.

 

Idk why people are mad at Zidane for not giving Jovic enough playing time.

Goals & Assist by Strikers since Jovic joined the team

- Karim Benzema: 55 G/A in 5,825 Minutes (G/A every 106' minutes)
- Mariano Diaz: 2 G/A in 359 Minutes (G/A every 180' minutes
- Luka Jovic : 4 G/A in 1,014 Minutes (G/A every 254' minutes)

 

So you think 1,014 minutes (most of which were in the form of 5-10 minute cameos) are enough for a striker to learn some chemistry with other players and to get more confidence?
Even a 19 year old Morata in 2012-2013 (had both Benzema and Higuain as competition) got slightly more minutes than Jovic did last season, Jese in 2013-2014 got more minutes and Higuain in 2006-2007 also got more than twice as many minutes in just half a season.

 

The amount of money we’ve shit away we could have signed Mbappe last summer for the fee of 300ME

 

No one should be surprised at any of this, standard for years now

 

He doesn't have to. He must be given a 10-match run to find form.

This from the same people who literally can't handle any dropped points. Everytime we don't win they melt down and turn the forum into a shitshow because they don't like the manager.

 

What about the €130M player who we try to play all the time but everyone (including myself) doesn't want always playing?

Why is it our stances are so dramatic and change so sharply?

The only victim is Militao. Even in Villareal you shit or you get off the toilet. Militao never really got the chance to shit.

 

This would be a great outcome for everyone. Either bring him back or sell to recoup the fee.

Definitely two camps here reading the posts. Hazard, Isco, Marcelo, and Asensio get minutes... only the last one has showed a little recent promise but still not convinced. Yet others who have equally contributed little as frozen out who are younger who could shine.

Keep reading Zidane is screwing things up with the younger players with little interest in playing them or arguments need a run of games to prove things. Truth is somewhere between those points.

 

it's not enough to play him, he was asked to do things at times which he clearly doesn't have the skillset for. Very few attackers can play the role that Benz does and Jovic isn't one of them.

 

It's not that he doesn't do what Benz does. It's that he does nothing. When he played he was a blackhole on the field. Glad he's gone. Hopefully he can regain form so we can recoup some of the money wasted.
