8 | Mateo Kovacic - 2023/24

Glad it's not just me. As you said, I think he's been good but the praise feels a bit over the top.

Came in today and did the business was very good at it . What more was he supposed to do ?

Twitter should be bound and gagged and thrown off a cliff into the sea.

Social media shite.

It’s no different to here.

I said I thought he was good as well but just thought the MOTM shouts in the game thread were a bit much. I'm a fan.

 

[freshie]

Gonna be the bargain of the season.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Gonna be the bargain of the season.

Until Paqueta, of course… ;-)

 

[city warrior]

Great signing. And I am glad to see he can break the lines and play some riskier passes (Foden's 1v1 comes from him). Also good at pressing and physically strong.

 

[Clembo]

Perfect signing for the price and the fit in the squad.

Doesn't need to replace the goals of Gundo, we'll find them elsewhere in this team, but the control? if he can continually bring that to the team, he'll be golden for us.

 

[WestGorton]

Talk about fitting in right away. He was the glue when Kev had to go off and suddenly the defence was secure.

 

[simmo]

He is quality. Quick thinking and good with his passing.

Fitted in as though he’s been here for ages.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Very impressed. He's just fitted straight in. Quality player.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I thought he looked spectacular.

 

[FantasyIreland]

His strengths are slightly different,but he is just as important as Gundo and slips into that vacancy brilliantly.

Surprised he started on the bench.

 

[Keeper!]

As long as he stays fit regularly this dude will be the signing of the season, 20M, what a bargain, what a signing.

 

[waspish]

Stays fit we have him at a top level for at least another 3/4 seasons! Don't think he lost the ball or made a misplaced pass when he came on

 

[yankblue]

He is risen

 

[dancity19]

I thought he looked spectacular.

Spectacular feels a little hyperbolic, but he certainly looks good and has slotted in seamlessly.

 

[Keeper!]

His strengths are slightly different,but he is just as important as Gundo and slips into that vacancy brilliantly.

Surprised he started on the bench.

He has a bad injury history ( his only weakness in this signing) so his game time will be managed accordingly, hopefully Doc C can work his magic.

The medical staff have already done wonders with him, bringing him back from the dead for a 80 mins cameo.

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Early doors I know but I think we have had Chelsea’s pants down here with the price we paid

 

[BlueMooner87]

incredibly composed on the ball and always seems in control, great addition to the side at a bloody bargain price.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

This lad looks quality.

One thing I think we lacked through a lot of the points of last season where we weren’t playing well, was a ball over the top into space where Haaland is making runs, and he’s looking for that all the time.
