It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Seems I'm in the minority. Kovacic would be a huge downgrade on Gundo. Always looks like crap vs top-quality teams.

Sign Bellingham, start moving Phil centrally, and buy a winger who can compete with Grealish/Mahrez would be my ideal plan.

Be upgrade because we won’t have a gundogan in our side

Who, Kovacic? Hardly the best environment to perform. Would be a steal at £30m.

That's fine. I am in favour of this deal for sure. I think he's shown the quality in his career to warrant it. But I do think he's having a poor season so I am hoping if we do sign him, that he looks better - there's every reason to believe that he will.

Is the rumour from a reliable journalist?

So it look like jude and kova but I think we talk to other midfielder like veiga

I'd take Kovacic at £30m every day of the week.

Don’t forget money to his agent, wages, bonuses, loyalty payments, Croatian to English Dictionary etc

I genuinely don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it's impossible not to have a poor season in this current Chelsea side.

Nah. we'll get him for less than that £22m - £25m

No guarantees that Gundo will be here next season, though. You have to replace him somehow and he's that good that pretty much any player will be a downgrade IMO.

If we win the CL then he'll have won everything there is to win with us. Perfect time to say goodbye (for him anyway, not for us!).

Absolute bargain that!

Seems I'm in the minority.

For a good reason :)
Joking aside, I think he'll be absolute quality in a Pep side. Bellingham and Kovacic to replace Bernie and Gundog - sounds good to me. Also, I expect Foden to be moved to central roles after KDB is done at City.
