He had a pretty serious injury rather than a continuous spate of injuries if I remember correctly. Very good player, interesting to see what price he has.
Yeah, some kind of horrible cruciate injury I think.
Don't really know much about the lad, but 8 in 58 doesn't look like he is prolific.
Those figures are skewed slightly. I'm not sure he had a very productive first season with Viola, playing 32 games and scoring only 2. I don't personally know what the cause of that was, maybe he wasn't playing up front, or just wasn't fitting in yet.
Since then he's scored 11 goals from 37 games the season before last, and was out for 10/11 with that cruciate injury. My goal scoring figures are from all competitions.
I think he'd be a brilliant signing, and would offer great competition to Carroll and Suarez, as well as allowing the possibility of playing with a front three of Suarez - Carroll - Jovetic. He's more of a support player than an out and out goalscorer like Carroll, but he's still got pace, skill, dribbling ability, a decent pass and a great shot with either foot.
I haven't really heard us being linked with him that strongly recently, and it seems unlikely we'll splash out on another striker. Although N'Gog out, Jovetic in, sounds good eh
