Thanks mate for posting. I really miss him. Hope it won’t take too long for Kova to come back in play

 

[Zabbasbeard]

We need him back as soon as possible. We are getting run over. Rodders cant be expected to do it all alone and especially as he is returning.

With more legs around him this year and not playing as a 6 i think he could be quite a good fit for the team when hes back.

He was our best CM last season he is already a good fit .

He's the player we've missed most. People just havent realised it yet. Many will once he is back and partnering Rodri. Vastly underrated how good he was last season.

Will be interesting to see if he’s above Nico G in the pecking order. My feeling is he will be

Cant wait till Kova is back. Fantastic player. Can't believe how many wanted him gone .

At the moment , he is far ,far better than Bernardo

Would easily start for us now. Kept our midfield together ALONE while scoring important goals

Won't be surprised if Pep prefers him to Reijnders. Rodri x Kovacic worked well in the 23/24 season.

At the moment he is injured?

Mr Reliable, 6 or 7 out of 10 most games - we’ve missed him. He has the kind of consistency you need when in a state of transition trying to bed in many new signings

 

[Sibierskii]

Whens he back? could do with him in there with Rodri

 

[Gabriel]

Must be getting closer to game time. Probably have to be from the bench, if we’re up, for now and maybe Swansea at the end of the month for a start.

 

[Chak19]

Welcome back Mateo.

 

[denTTony]

Not much to say about the brief performance but good to have him back

 

[samuelyeboah]

I think they play slightly different roles, but Kova can definitely slot in there. For me, Kova seems like a less adventurous Reijnders than Nico.
