Manchester City: Stevan Jovetic completes move from Fiorentina

Last updated on .From the section Football

Manchester City have completed the £22m signing of Montenegro international forward Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina.
The 23-year-old, who has won 27 caps, arrived in Manchester on Friday to undergo a medical before City finalised the deal.
Jovetic had attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.
New boss Manuel Pellegrini has also signed forward Alvaro Negredo and winger Jesus Navas from Sevilla, and Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho.
With the arrival of Jovetic and who scored 26 La Liga goals last season, City have taken their spending since the arrival of Pellegrini to almost £90m.
They have already signed Navas for £14.9m and Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk for £30m.
Jovetic scored 13 goals in 31 games for Fiorentina last season and will help Pellegrini fill the void left by the departure of Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez.
City manager Pellegrini has left the club's pre-season training camp in South Africa to return home to Chile to deal with a personal matter although he could rejoin the squad in Hong Kong early next week.
Assistant manager Brian Kidd, who had a brief spell in charge after Roberto Mancini's sacking at the end of last season, took charge of City's 2-1 friendly defeat to AmaZulu in Durban.
Kidd said: "Manuel's had to go back to Chile for personal reasons.
"Hopefully he will be in Hong Kong on Tuesday, but we are not quite sure at the moment. You want the boss here for obvious reasons.
"The team were well prepared by him for this game. It's been a good work out in South Africa with two tough games."

GOOD ENGLISH TALENT SUPERIOR TO JOVETIC:
James McFadden (classy young forward)

McFadden is:
a) Not English
b) Not classy
c) Not young
I'll concede he is a forward.
Higuain will end up at Napoli, Felaini will go to Man Ure and I can't see £40 being spent on 'bite yer arm' Suarez.
Still, at least we've signed a 20yr old French youth international striker on a freebie!! :-\
By the same account, his injury problems and recent attitude make it hard for me to shed too many tears over his departure. With Gomez as a replacement it's hard not to think we're moving forward here.
Anyone get a good look at some of those French ladies? Corr, Louisa Necib is a fox! Some other ones too. England Ladies much like the men, looked like they were up against much superior competition.
Zabaleta Kompany Nastasic Clichy
Toure Fernandinho
Navas Silva Jovetic
Aguero
Decent!
He's talented, but City will have to use him correctly - but I'm not sure they will. Best of luck to him.
Evra perhaps?
A system whereby Manchester United get to maintain dominance by selling the most shirts to poverty stricken third world people. This sport has no morals.
It looks better than decent, However, I did think Clichy looked a little dodgy in several games last year though. McManaman tore him to pieces in the FA Cup final. On a separate note, it maybe time to change your user name.Unless the 2 said managers have now become housebound recluses.
Just look at there first choice players:-
De gea
Jones
Smalling
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Da silva
Valencia
Kagawa
Cleverley
Anderson
Carrick
RVP
Rooney
Nani
Young
Hernandez
Wellbeck
So Man utd fans, which ones didn't cost a transfer fee then?
Last players you produced where Beckham, Giggs...etc that was years ago
