Think he is a decent replacement for Gundogan. Not as good (obviously, few are) but experienced, has many qualities that Pep likes and will probably up his game playing for us, most players do. Not a world beater by any means, but he will do a fine job for us. 25m is a steal!

We’re gonna have some big units in our team next season if we continue with the 4 centre backs
Seems like only yesterday we had a team of midgets
Pep never stands still

He offers different things. He's not as good as Gundo at arriving in the box and scoring goals, but he is better at carrying the ball and he's more dynamic. We'll be better at transitions with Kova.
fast forward 12 months:
"we need to remember Rodri, Mahrez, Grealish they were all awful in their first season. yes its true Kovacic couldnt find a City shirt with his passes at all in the 4 PL games Pep started him and cost us 2 games with his red cards, and he is nothing like Gundo around the box but in his second season he will come good, we should not sell him to a Saudi club after just one season".
good luck Kovacic :)

The king is dead, long live the King!
Think he will struggle the first few weeks
He will have to get used to playing in a proper system where players know their roles and play for the good of the team rather than randomly heading upfield like an under 7s side
In all seriousness I'm really looking forward to seeing what Pep makes of him, not beyond imagination he adds to his scoring output and assists

Not the flashiest of signings but a very smart one. With his press resistance and ability to glide through midfields he'll fit us like a glove. Can fit our team like a glove. The fee is just the icing on the cake.
The type of player who flies under the radar for most of a match and then makes the difference that wins the points. Much like Fernandinho and Gundogan, a solid 7+/10 every week.
Don’t worry. The moment he has his first good game, he’ll be rebranded as the ‘cheat champ man’ or ‘ready made superstar’..
He’s a nice piece of the jigsaw.
