No way Jo-ve!

Fiorentina have denied that they have any kind of agreement in place for the future transfer of Stevan Jovetic to Manchester City, according to SKY Sports. Jovetic was on the radar of a number of top European clubs despite not really doing anything of note in his career to date than scoring two goals against Liverpool in the Champions League a few years ago...yes...let's get over the shock that Liverpool were indeed once in the Champions League.

Indeed, Fiorentina's technical director has compared the Jovetic situation to a certain Liverpool captain, saying: "For us his situation is similar to that of Steven Gerrard for Liverpool. This summer we dediced that Jovetic was not on the market and he understood perfectly clear."

Does the technical director know something we don't about Steven Gerrard? Is he stuck in a time warp where in Italy it's still in 2005 and Gerrard wants to move to Chelsea? If so it would certainly explain why Serie A doesn't seem to have progressed since then....
