I think if he's gone there then he's missed out on a grand opportunity of being coached by the best manager in the world, honestly I'm not too bothered we've signed others after missing out who Pep has worked wonders with and it'll happen again, but I think Pep could've made him very special and able to operate anywhere in the middle.
At Real they might not allow him that freedom I was hoping he'd get here to reach his potential but he's made his choice, personally I'd really like Barella off Inter most now as an alternative to Jude he's a great all round hardworking player, bit of a jack of all trades technically skilled with good passing ability hopefully he won't show much of that this weekend though. Bennacer at Milan is another who is sadly actually injured for a while which could be a problem, but we have dealt with injuries well he's on 47k a week he also has a £44m release clause which activates only in July for half a month, after that he'll command a much higher fee more than likely.
On the upside of all this if we decide to postpone any other midfield signings after Kovacic just like we did after missing out on Kane, we could find our perfect player somewhere else or it could allow someone like McAtee to prove himself good enough so don't worry much at all.
