I must say, I was pretty underwhelmed when it was announced he was coming to us, but I'd never really watched him much, and I'm mightily impressed with him so far, I love the calmness he brings, far better than I expected anyway.

He’s pretty good isn’t he?To think he was half the price of Mount!The transfer market has gone completely hat stand,..it just doesn’t make any sense anymore.

I just knew he would come good right away. At Madrid, he was unbelievable, and actually did play a lot of big games. And he carried Chelsea’s midfield for a while, but was overlooked because he doesn’t pop up and score tons of goals. He has outstanding technical ability and close control. And in a double pivot he really shines

Me too. I have to admit for the first time in my life I might have been wrong.
Don`t tell the wife or my kids.
The thing that I loved the most was the through ball to Haaland that he missed.
I thought we’d lost that when Gundo left but Kovacic looks for it every time really (more so than others).
Noticed it from game 1 that he constantly checks for Haaland no matter where he is on the pitch. That’ll come to fruition a lot this season!

But when are we signing a Gundo replacement..........????
Gundo had more “big moments in games” due to his positioning and understanding of space, but Kova does more in the game time through the 90 mins, he’s always buzzing around turning the ball over, we look more solid in the middle with Kova. Both brilliant players so I Salute the board for a great purchase to replace a legend.
