Ante Coric

What's the score at the minute with this lad ?

Pep has said in presser today, no more signings this window. Rumours were we had a fee agreed but couldnt agree on a loan deal with the player, so talks broke down! With less than a week to go in the transfer window, I think the chances are, he stays at his current club for atleast another season.

Cheers blue....never seen him play but only ever heard good things about him. Suppose we will just have to wait and see on this one then
 
Revisit in January.

Loan back for remainder of season 16/17.

Sadly, might not be as easy as that mate. If you believe the Croatian news source that reported the story, Coric's reps were not happy with the way the meeting went with our rep. I think the term used in the report was that we were ‘unconvincing’ and we answered a question about the lads future by saying “We’ll see, but you can sign.” Doesnt seem like our rep did a good job of "selling" the move and that seems to be the reason why talks broke down. If all that is true, I wouldnt be surprised if Coric looks for other options in Jan or next Summer.
 
Think your right which would be a shame for both parties. He misses out with developing under Pep & we miss out on an outstanding talent.
Unfortunately we cannot sign them all.

Perhaps because we already have potentially better players ourselves so therefore can't guarantee him anything.

So you're quite happy to believe a Croatian media source to the detriment of our representative? The actual wording by the way was 'something along the lines of, We’ll see, but you can sign.'

There's a world of difference when you seem to be repeating it as factual.

I think its more likely (as Pep said in his presser) that we have 30 players and the squad is full. The main issue is that we are finding it difficult to sell unwanted players and cant fee up squad places. I think this lad will be a star (many big clubs across Europe have been showing interest) and think its a shame we unable to find a space in the squad because of players like Yaya and Fernando, who will very likely be gone by this time next season.

Hi mate, "something along the lines of" was a term used by a twitter account. The original story said no such thing and seemed a pretty detailed report. (i.e quoted when meeting took place, where the meeting took place and who was there) The original report, (which was not from twitter) said:

"At that Worthington had no answer. Only unconvincing "We'll see, but you can sign."And at that moment the negotiations are for Coric's side have lost all meaning and the company dispersed"

No, I dont believe everything in the Croatian report(and made that clear in what I said i.e "if you want to believe" and "if all that is true") but there was enough info in the "original" report to atleast take off our blue tinted glasses for a second and think maybe we(our rep) made a mistake.

I've only seen the inevitable Youtube clips but although undoubtedly a tricky player does he not look awfully slow?

Same for me, I've only seen stuff on the net, & he does appear slow but also I haven't seen him do really anything in particular.

He plays in a proper team & at international level but other than that fact, that he's playing at that level at his age, I don't see why anyone thinks we should go for him. If you compare him to Gabriel Jesus for example, it's pretty obvious why we have signed him!

There is a higlights vid of Aleix Garcia somewhere, & ok, a fair bit is 2nd team football, but even so, if you compare the two, it's on another level.

Maybe there is a whole set of performances where he has been amazing & I haven't seen any of it.

Imo if you made a highlights reel of Yaya & Fernando, it would look better than Coric's.

Hearing #Spurs are very close to bringing Ante Coric in from Dinamo Zagreb after the Croatian had a conversation with Luka Modric #THFC



I hope this isn't true.

Why? Good luck to the lad if he doesn't want to play for us.
