Mateo Kovacic

Doesn’t start for Real, doesn’t start for Croatia, and has that valuation?
And when he does play I haven’t seen the class one would expect from Real player. Not for me.
Yeah and this idea he is Modric reincarnated is bs. Dude was fairly average at Inter as well... I have no clue why or how he is regarded so highly. Maybe he turns out to be a great player, but for 50m you're taking a risk, at 80 you're just burning money.
 
Maybe 8-10 years ago Vincent could do the DM job i know he came to us in a midfield role but not in a PEP system If we do become desperate Ederson is more than comfortable with the ball at his feet Personally if we were thowing £80 million quid around for Kovacic i would throw it Chelsea"s way for Kante They were happy enough to let Matic go Finally ive just seen Perisic score for Croatia he looks a great player hope he doesnt end up at nited

Chelsea wouldn't let Kanté go for less than 9 figures. Matic was already being marginalised, Kanté won't be. Not to mention Kanté is actually pretty average on the ball, which does not bode well for a Pep regista.
Also, buying players based on World Cups never ends well.
 
Didn't realize he's already 24, that's a little old to be raw or an unfinished product.

He's obviously a good player - tough to play for Real and Croatia's midfield if you're not - but he just doesn't seem like a good fit, if he's even available. I'm sure the fee would be astronomical as well.
 
No thanks ... Buy Dyan Bertrand as 2nd left back & use Delph in midfield rather than spunk silly money on this guy. Txiki's ''long' game & locking Jorginho into a gentlemans agreement backfired. The Napoli president is as mad as a box of frogs but he taught City a lesson for trying to drive the price down & get Jorginho below market price. City can whinge after the event about ADLs conduct but not at all surprised Jorginho went elsewhere & we're in this position still looking for a DM.

Hope Txiki is logging in for tip top advice.

There is such a thing as dodging a bullet you know. When it comes down to commitment I know damn sure that our owners have shown enough commitment to suggest that when a deal doesn't go through, there's always a backup plan and it wasn't our only option. How much evidence do you want? We won the title this year with the highest point total in premier league history. Get a grip and don't become a spoilt arsehole!

Hurt your feelings not towing the party line .... A dab of the usual sarcasm fully expect on here when you say something people dont like ...

Joginho deal was a f*ck up, we tried to drive a hard bargain & got taught a lesson by ADL & after the event we whinge about Napoli & ADLs conduct ... Hope we're trying to save money in prep for a mega deal like Mbappe otherwise ......

Sounds like silly nonsense to me.

Deal was done, then ADL saw a way to get a poxy few mil extra by SELLING Sarri to Chelsea with a package deal, so everyone looked like they were saving face and Abrahamovic could get the man he wanted. Then, ADL, in a top **** move, makes it sound like his hands were tied because it was Jorginho who WANTED to go to London, not Manc! What’s Jorginho going to say now? Can’t very well say, “No, I never wanted to come to Chelsea, but ADL threatened my career if I didn’t go!” can he?!

Yea gotta agree with this, harsh to call this a “fuck up” by City. ADL even admitted publicly he had agreed to a deal with city but took the bigger offer. Did you expect City to increase their offer by 10m? Who’s to say Napoli would even take it since it seems clear their intent was to ship Sarri off in this package.

It's a forum and goes like this.... post nonsense, get called out!

Deal was agreed, they reneged it happens and has been debated to death.

Dont think this transfer was a "F*ck up" but as you bring me into the discussion....I not going to knock the lad for having an opinion, deserves the same respect as everyone else.

DM/CM seems to be a priority as we've been showing interest in the position in both Jan and now the summer windows. Club must feel its a "weaker" area that needs filling....hopefully we can sort this before window shuts.
