Mateo Kovacic

I’d prefer Kovacic to Jorginho, but I doubt Real Madrid will let him leave for £50m and rumours of a release clause in that range have been denied.
 
I’d like to know why we are so keen to count the pennies this summer - do we only have circa £60m net spend or are we holding money back for someone else.

I read somewhere that he did a new contract last summer which allowed his release clause to be increased to 300mil(euros)
 
Yes because we're going to throw out 2 months of negotiations for Jorginho only to sign a player who is more expensive...

60 million euros too much but a 300 million euro release clause is just right.
 
Couldn't get Napoli to sell a 50 million player after haggling for a couple millions for 2 months and somehow Txiki is now going out whip out his world class negotiation skills and get Madrid to sell Kovacic for 60 million. Genius.
 
i do NOT want this guy, everytime i see him play i just complain about slow his play looks. hope this isnt plan "c" or "d". I honestly hope we can somehow get weigl instead of all these players.

Agreed... a lot of people in here slag Txiki off. Genius is the word... he’s done us proud in recent years to get the amazing squad we have in place now.
 
Are people so easily duped they cannot see this is all about negotiating for Jorginho imho.
Napoli say (brief the press to say) Chelsea are interested - ie City need to pay more
City say OK were going after Kovacic - ie Were paying what he's worth, fuck off or we'll go elsewhere.

Coming on here slagging the DOF for something that has been muted by the press that might happen as fact is quite frankly bizaar.

Sub appearances for Real Madrid. Technically proficient. He is a more aggressive version of Gundogan from the appearances I've seen. Good technic, good vision, good passing touch and good movement.

However, there are YouTube videos of him running past lots of defenders, So clearly there is more to him than I've seen.
 
Let me get this right. Txiki is going to spunk £60m+ on a player who although he could be as good as Jorgingho currently isn't and will take 6 months to get up to speed playing the Pep way?
Txki gets a whole pile of qudos for last summer's signings but this is wiered.
Why not simply pay Napoli £3m more for Jorjingho?
