Still think he'll be a good signing, but expecting more of a decent squad player.
However, I nearly launched my tele out the window when he had the chance to cross the ball with his left foot in the last few minutes, but turned and passed it back to Gvardiol.

The penchant against putting in a cross is getting to me.Still think he'll be a good signing, but expecting more of a decent squad player.

he went from "fits like a glove" to "what a waste of money" from August til December.
truth is probably in the middle.
You may be right but it may also have something to do with the number of appearances, goals, assists and MotM performances in the meantime.
This thread is another example of people hastily pointing the finger at one or two players in particular instead of just giving it ten seconds and doing something else with their energy.
Kovacic was brilliant in his first handful of games and we were all in agreement that he was a worthy replacement for Gundogan, even if he wasn't expected to hit Gundo's heights for a bit yet.
Then he got injured, had a bit of a mare against Arsenal on an off day for the whole team, and has been injured again, playing the equivalent of one half of football in our last four games.
But for some reason he's getting more blame than anyone else, except for maybe Nunes and Gvardiol - two more lads who've only just arrived and are bedding in. This fanbase really doesn't add up sometimes.
In PL games Kovacic has started this season we're P7 W5 D0 L2. In PL games we've started with Kovacic and Rodri next to each other we've got a 100% record. It's obvious what makes us play our best football.

Gundogan was new to the PL and three years younger. Kovacic is neat and tidy if you stand off him, but way too slow when pressed.Gundogan had a frustrated start like this too, but I hope Kova can turn it around as well.
