Betis' vice president said that when they signed him.

"we've retained the bulk of these players with Fekir taking Lo Celso's place and I'd say the French player is at the same level or even better than the Argentine"

So yeah. Have a pleasant time thinking you're some kind of football mind. Fekir couldn't replace Lo Celso at Betis. All my points stand.

No, how did you conclude that Fekir didn't reach the same level of performance and production as Lo Celso. Don't play dumb please.

Betis spent 110 mil. around Fekir to make a run for the Europa League spots and ended up finishing worse than they did the season before. Lo Celso produced more goals for the team while playing less than Fekir, didn't really produce any other sort of end product over Lo Celso, or contribute more defensively, so as the Betis vice president said, they replaced pretty much what Lo Celso was doing for them. You can talk "eye test" and "watching the games" all you want, i guarantee that you didn't watch more Betis football than i did, and when we break it down, Betis are worse now than before.

How is that even arguable or worth a discussion?

30 minutes into this match and Jovic looks like a completely different player to the one seen at RM. Every little flick is coming off, his cuts, turns, + dribbles are smooth. Linking up well and involved in the build up. Even defending as far back as his own 18 on the right wing.

Among the few good things to happen over this international break

Nico777 · Nov 18, 2020

3 goals 2 assists in like 175 minutes against Scotland Hungary and Russia...

Eddie · Nov 18, 2020

I don't know, he seems like he would be a good fit for a team that crosses a lot.

Nico777 · Nov 18, 2020

3 goals 3 assists.

AppleBob86 · Nov 18, 2020

Our management failed to integrate him from day one.

What a silly statement. Dude isn't really "integrated" with his NT.

The reality is NT play is very low quality. Besides a handful of teams the level of play is bottome tier.

Playing v Russia is probably higher quality than playing v Cadiz or Valladolid but somehow he’s shit when playing against those La Liga cracks.

Management failed to integrate him after spending 60ME. Said it last season and it’s the same again this season.

Glide84 · Nov 18, 2020

Regardless if you rate him or not we need a backup for Benz. Hope he can build some confidence for when he plays for us next, we need secondary scoring big time.

He’s looked lost most of the time with us but had a few close chances too, just need those to start going in to bag/save some points.

Jovic scored in Bundesliga and in europa league in big games.

In these 3 games against Scotland Hungary and Russia he just showed what he can do on a pitch in the link up play and as a striker.

Maybe it won't work for Real Madrid but this guy has the weapons to be a world class striker. Just a matter of time.

Yeah, be great if Zidane gave him useful playing time.

Anything but to blame zidane...

Nico777 · Nov 19, 2020

Milan are interested in having him on loan from January according to Corriere dello Sport.
They can let him go there if they don't want to play much with him.
Win-win situation if he shines there.

4x4s · Nov 20, 2020

I don't think we would have signed him if he wouldn't be a good to potentially great player.

Açores57 · Nov 20, 2020

Jovic has all the tools, since we love spamming crosses one would think that by default Jovic will get onto the end of some of those and add some goals.

I don't know what exactly, but my guess is there's something going on off the pitch.

The shittiest luck. Once in a blue moon when Benzema isn't there, it's COVID or some shit
