Ante Coric

[Edwin Edwin]

Special kid..Perhaps the CM many have been crying for...A master of the fakes..Faking a pass,faking a shot, faking a direction in movement before he bursts away and leaves his markers chasing shadows..Him alongside Illy + Aleix Garcia could be magic.

Really hope you guys get this kid. He's electric...for me future ballon'dor candidate. Just a joy to watch on the ball.

Seems we are gearing ourselves up for CL sucess in 2 years time while all these 19 year olds will be under 21

Maybe we're just targeting winning the EDS :)

Is he really a CM? Watching this scoutnation vid, I would swear he must be a CAM... So I guess he's a sort of box to box type. But if he can replicate Modric's peak, then we should do everything to get him. :)

Would Coric be in first team squad or loaned out?

Looks a talented player.

I think he'd be loaned out.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I guess if we buy enough of them, one of them will become world class.

 

[domalino]

I think he'd be loaned out.

Don't think he'd agree to that to be honest.

He's being chased by a bunch of big clubs including the dippers. We might be the biggest or the most attractive, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the case of he was going to get farmed out on loan if he could play there.

He also seems pretty down to earth - I seem to remember there was a bidding war when he was 16 and he chose to go to a Serbian club over Chelsea.

Like the look of him. Looks like a younger version of Silva and can pick a pass

 

[BlueCityfan]

I wonder if we are expecting all of these youngsters to challenge for a spot......or just sell some for profit? If he was a CM, there would be more use for him here. As an AM, it would be much more difficult for him.

Manchester City are pressing ahead in their bid to sign highly-rated Ante Coric from Dinamo Zagreb.

Coric is a 19-year-old Croatia international and was part of the squad at Euro 2016. He has been a target for Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool but Zagreb say City are in pole position as they look to finalise a deal which may be around £8m plus add-ons.


Coric is CM ?

The new Modric judging by what I've seen on youtube
