If we were buying him strictly to put the ball in the net, then yes 25M would be a waste. I think his ability to create and chip in with the scoring is what makes him attractive to Arsenal as even with the addition of Cazorla we've still not matched the creative heights we have in the past. It might not even be a case of getting one of Jovetic or Villa, getting both might actually be worth it.
All that being said, 25M is a lot and even if Jovetic seems to tick all of the boxes we require are all those check marks really worth 25M? This makes the uncertainty of Cesc's future in Barca quite interesting. I really can't see Cesc going to United and, as he would be replacing himself in our squad, he’d render Jovetic unnecessary. Add a Suarez type striker and we’re almost done up front.
