Mateo Kovacic

Excellent profile for us, as long as we can keep him injury free he’ll be a huge success for us

Well he won’t be another RSC

You must have the worst posts to likes ratio I've ever seen on here. Great work.

Lol. In champ's defense likes didn't start until blue moon was already very seasoned. Technically, one could have thousands of posts and no likes.

Everyone wants the latest buzz name. Bloody good player who will bring experience and quality to midfield and help us rest players. Small squad is great but you need adequate replacements. Some of our fans have been spoiled. Want a Haaland type signing every summer. I agree with you. Can’t wait to see how the boss wants to use him. He is a very accomplished player. Pep ain’t daft.

Yep. I think people are still sulking from missing out on Bellingham.

Is there no player in our Academy or on loan that could have been given an opportunity? Bidding war for Romeo Lavia happening at the moment.

What's the obsession with the academy? We've had plenty around the team recently and we won the fucking treble. Maybe we will win the quadruple if we tweak our approach to your liking and have a younger team with less experience??

What’s wrong with wanting Academy kids to be given a chance? When I first moved to Manchester in 1984 it was the young local lads that the City fans were so proud of. Our Chairman has just praised the academy to the maximum - “the treble treble” etc.
If we lose our experienced players this summer I would like our younger Academy players to be considered. Simple as that.

It's a balance and one I'm happy for Pep and Co to sort out. In June of last year did you think Rico Lewis would push Cancelo out of the club? McAtee and Bobb have been tipped for possible senior spots next season already so I don't understand the concern here.

He is an average player. We already have one in Kalvin. We have Rodri and Perrone.
He is not as good as Gundo in attack. Can’t replace him. He can’t replace Bernardo.
No optimism there. I hope this transfer never happens.

I hope it does...

Correct - he’s average, exactly what I’ve been saying. Some here have been saying he’s ‘great’ - beats me.

He's above average...

Too many that think playing FIFA makes them football talent evaluators...

The concern is that City will always look to buy a player and that seems to be the preferred option. Chelsea used to be the top Academy side and now it’s City. Both seem to be just producing many players for other clubs. Financial sense but fans love one of their own. Phil and Rico have done that. Hopefully McAtee and Bobb will be given an opportunity.
I think Cancelo pushed himself out of the club.
