Mateo Kovacic

[SWP's back]

Unless he's a Gundo replacement, I'm genuinely struggling to understand what he brings to the table

I'm not dissing the signing, I'm just can't get my head around it. If he was 25/26 maybe it would make more sense to me

He’s a few months older than Dinho was when he signed and Dinho stayed 9 years.

Modern players aren’t done by 32 anymore.

Again, our perceptions of the situation couldn't be further apart. To avoid risk of drawing this out and further derailing the thread, we'll just have to agree to disagree for now.

Agreed.

I could see him and Phil complimenting each other really well. A bit like how David and Kev used to.

Does anyone think Rodri will occupy Gundogs place, he has the finese and ey for goal?

Kalvin Phillips, age 27 £42m : 4 starts 18 sub apps

Rico Lewis, age 18 : 16 starts, 7 sub apps

Different players, different positions so I'm not sure the comparison is valid (and yes, I know Rico often steps up into midfield when we are in an attacking phase).

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Ive a feeling this guy is gonna get a lot of assists next season

 

[Blue warrior]

Chelsea fans frustration comes from Kovacic being in the attacking areas he doesn’t have much end product in terms of goals/assists he appears to be a better fit further back but a bit of pep Magic and our movement might unleash him.

Rodri is the best player in the world in his position and should absolutely stay there.
It's immediately noticable when he's not playing, or playing in a different position, how we are weakened.
