Mateo Kovacic

[Semper aggressus]

Really??? Gundo is a massive miss but Kovacic isn’t a mug. Great signing. Plus money being saved for Gvardiol who will be next hopefully. Rice would be £100 million at least.

Rice would be £100m for a reason. Just like an old Vauxhall is a few hundred quid and a new Mercedes about £50k.

And why do we need to save money? We just made about £300m winning the treble, but if we don’t strengthen and let the best available players go to rivals we won’t be winning it next season.

Ok as a squad signing, better than McAtee, but we need absolute top quality like Rice or similar, especially now Gundo has left.

'Absolute top quality like Rice'

What is this based on? The odd decent performance against a top 6 team however when they get battered playing Brighton, or losing to Forest, Everton, Palace he gets a free pass.

I don't get the hype either, he's a solid player don't get me wrong but sadly not at our level IMHO.

If we ever came to selling him we would have to describe him as the worlds best to get the most money for him ;)

Not sure why we’re knocking Lewis unless you’ve just caught a big one ;)

 

[MadchesterCity]

Grealish would have made a decent 8, problem is he's allergic to scoring goals.

Next season he will be double figures in Prem

Tbf to the management team they haven’t got it wrong many times. I think Pep will make Kovacic a better player.

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

Kovacic only 5”10

He is in a unique position having won the champions league 4 times. One more and he is in a very select group.

Should fit in from day one.

That Kovacic 4 champions league medal haul is misleading.
He played flip all champions league matches and in the 4 finals his only run out was from the 83rd minute for Chelsea against us.
A bit of a Scott Carson statistic.

Good one.

Top quality?

Declan Rice?

Decent enough player and all that, but Top Quality is a bit of a stretch!
