Ante Coric

Please not one more AM; A CM & DM are more welcome. Given he is young, Pep can still mould him. But players who like the smell of goal-scoring/attacking, generally dont like the less celebrated, more disciplined CM/DM functions. Hope the kid is willing to learn.

nothing - he seems to think he's gonna be with the EDS but i cant see how a 19yr old kid who has played for the men's national team and got 60 odd professional games under his belt is gonna go in our EDS.

This would be great, if true....I love signing all these talented kids, but would prefer they could stay,to learn under Pep, instead of going out on loan to teams that dont have a long term commitment or invested interest in helping these kids grow....If he can stay at City (squad or EDS) I think that would be a positive. The lad is VERY technical and can play anywhere across the midfield. kid has it all and absolutely love the signing, if this is true....

I've got to admit that apart from what can be picked up from Wiki I know nothing whatsoever about this guy. Anybody on here had a serious chance to watch him, and if so, how do you rate him, setting all hype aside?

That'll be no.

Can't see why he would accept a move here just to be loaned out.

I agree....rumours are, Liverpool and Spurs were also interested and guess those teams might be offering 1st team football in the prem. The only loan deal I could see working is if we signed him and loaned him back to his current club until 2017?

Just noticed the source....dont know whether he a good source or not mate but he was the one that posted on twitter that Sane had a Grade 2 hamstring tear and could be out for 2 months, so might take it with a pinch of salt until a few other sources confirm...cheers!

I've been on that page for over 6 months. He's nearly always spot on. He posted as well about the sane injury rumour being a load of bollocks and posted the actual thread of a convo he had with someone. He himself questioned it at the time

I think the answer to your question generally goes like this: If he signs for us, he'll be one of the best 19 year old footballers in the history of the game. If he doesn't, he'll be a no talented, over-priced waster who was never good enough for City....

Good to know, I posted his original twitter post about Sane's injury and got stick from here for posting from his account, so have been careful not to forward on any of his info since....Lets hope he's right with this, would love the signing of Coric! cheers mate!;)

EDIT: He's also just posted that we've signed Barca keeper Stegan!

If he goes into the EDS, presumably sometimes alongside some of the kids Pep has used pre season, when they need game time, then it makes the connection between the EDS & the first team. Which is how it was supposed to be. A genuine potential first team squad of young players, playing for promotion into the first team, rather than a bunch of kids who will be completely ignored no matter how good they are.

I really hope it happens that way.

He generally gets real mad when people posts his info everywhere.
 
Mail (yes , I know!;) are reporting that Zagreb are stalling on selling him, as hoping to get higher bid. They also reporting we might move to alternatives if they continue to stall...

Sounds like we've made a take it or leave it offer and they wanting more....

WTF? Anyone who posts stuff like he does on Twitter clearly wants it to be made known across the known universe.

He is very sketchy. First he said Ter Stegen who will join in 2 weeks and its all signed, then he said it was a mistake and its Bravo. Went as far as to say that our medical team was in Barca. He said that Hart is staying the summer and will get a testimonial next week and now he is singing another tune. Seems a bit jiffy to change from Ter Stegen for a whole week to saying one of the Barca keepers so it was Bravo. Infact he was the one who said Sane has a grade 2 tear and will be out for 2 months.

This is now going way off topic but I did notice in one of Sané social media posts he said he can't wait to train with the team, which sounds like he's a little way off...
