Mateo Kovacic

[hgblue]

As an addition, good player, good price, good experience can't knock it...

As a Gundo replacement.... Nope, no thanks, never, nah your alright mate*






*No idea if he is Gundo's replacement, if he isnt, then please delete.

Yep. However, if he's a replacement for Phillips and Phillips is off to West Ham as part of a deal to bring Declan Rice here, then this is a good piece of business.

i think he’ll surprise a few next season. In our setup he’ll do really well. Still a bit confused as to where it leaves Phillips though

He was wasted at Chelsea in the last couple of years, I can see him getting a new lease of life with us.

Stones, Dias and Gvardiol in the same defence really doesnt seem fair does it?

Gvardiol next? He liked the tweet of Kovacic done deal too.

I agree with Tolmie, incredible for an 18 year old but one glaring issue is a severe lack of pace, the last game he played in (I think it was his last game) he was chasing an opposition player back to our goal, he looked like he was running in treacle...he could be one of those players who is good/very good at a lot of things but not outstanding in ONE ?

They'll work on that, it'll come with specialised coaching and growth, think of Foden when he was 18

Phillips ? Maximum Phillips can expect is to be a squad player and getting minutes to prove himself, rather than regular role and replacing someone like Gundo
