Mateo Kovacic

Simon Jones is fairly reliable I think?

His reverse swing with the old ball in the 2005 Ashes mesmerised the Aussies.

He's too ugly for our 1st team.

Maybe too ugly to keep out of the first team

Looks like he rides round Rusholme on a bike 2 sizes too small, wearing Air Max, looking for people to tax.

It's not as catchy as the Balotelli song!

This should get done shortly. Things moving apparently. Be interesting what the fee will be, I’ll guess around £30m with £5m add-ons.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Looking forward to this signing. Perfect Pep player. Seriously seriously good and intelligent on the ball.

 

[TonyM]

I've heard that he's signing on a free!!!

Just Add-Ons.
10M for the first image of him arriving for a medical and looking like Mangala.
10M for the first image of him sitting with Txiki at a table and signing a pretend contract.
10M for the first images of him getting a stadium tour and meeting the catering staff.
10M for the first images of him arriving for the first day of training and looking a bit confused.
5M for every image of him being lost by whatever Grealish is on about.
1M for everytime on of our players curse on TV and pretend they didn't do it on purpose.
£1 for every mention of charges, oil or sportwashing in the media.

(A bargain but Mbappe may be cheaper in the long run)

Kovacic rated 22nd best player at Chelsea, just so we know what we are getting for £40 million and probably£150,000 wages, add to that 25 goals in 499 matches and you get an expensive version of Phillips, no wonder Chelsea are desperate to get rid.

Cheers.

Will forward onto Txiki and Pep. Them two haven't got a clue how to build a title winning team. Shouldn't be signing players from mid table clubs.

Great signing! Top level on the ball and adds much needed depth

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Think this will be a very good signing if City get it over the line. experience and bottom line is Pep is a huge fan of his, that’s enough for me.

Only concern, who is he replacing as I don’t believe it’s purely for depth.

I still think it’s for Phillips. He was bought to be back up for Rodri who could play the Bernardo box to box if needs be but he hasn’t fitted at all. Pep doesn’t trust him it’s clear.

I know he’s apparently turned down Newcastle as he wants to stay but I think both Pep and Southgate will tell him to move on (for different reasons obviously).

Certainly possible. Phillips lack of game time, even for the ‘first season under Pep’ was alarmingly low.
