Said we are thinking about it, If we were doing anymore than thinking I expect we’d have made contact before now, with arsenal so deep into negotiations. Why would we leave any contact so late and risk him signing in the next day / days if we were really keen on him.Well tolmie, Ornstein and a few others have stated we are interested mate?
Sounds more like a bit of a flyer to meMid afternoon filler
Boeing as hell
What I've always thought about him - potentially amazing with the whole pitch in front of him, just don't think he has the half-turn positioning to play in midfield for usI've seen someone on here saying rice is a ball playing centre half ,well maybe he would get the Johnny stones position, and I think he would be great in that role
Reports said depth, but think it’s a replacement for someone..so is kovacic first team player or depth,if hes depth who are we signing
Widely reported: he’s depthso is kovacic first team player or depth,if hes depth who are we signing
Pissing myselfThink we may have left this one a little too late. Would be quite funny if we did manage to pull it off though.
that money cant be only going to gvardiol and kovacic
Don’t think so, maybe rotation but all players are rotation until they can establish themselves. See Ake, or Akanji. If he can prove he can replace a Gundogan then he’ll replace Gundogan.Widely reported: he’s depth

or the fact that most players are on international dutyI wonder if it’s the premier league holding things up then as apparently we were ready to go?
I don't think we sign many players who we don't think can be first team.so is kovacic first team player or depth,if hes depth who are we signing
Still no number 9! CrazyWow! Considering Chelsea are also getting Nkunku and Gusto this summer alongside Poch and the huge pool of players already there could they be a threat next season?
Think the most likely thing is we are waiting for final decisions from Bernardo and Gundogan because if they stay we don’t have room in the squad for others. Wouldn’t need much more than Gvuardiol for Laporte and Kovacic in that case.I wonder if it’s the premier league holding things up then as apparently we were ready to go?
That case is gonna take 2-3 years, if its holding transfers we're fucked. lolI wonder if it’s the premier league holding things up then as apparently we were ready to go?
I think it’s a tad disrespectful to have a player with as much success and experience as Kovacic has, labelled as ‘depth’.Don’t think so, maybe rotation but all players are rotation until they can establish themselves. See Ake, or Akanji. If he can prove he can replace a Gundogan then he’ll replace Gundogan.
They could also be out of business if they carry on like they are doing, their main problem last season was far to many unhappy players, adding another bunch without selling four times as many as they sign, they are a basket case, all over the placeWow! Considering Chelsea are also getting Nkunku and Gusto this summer alongside Poch and the huge pool of players already there could they be a threat next season?
