Mateo Kovacic

[DeBlueLou]

Guessing Pep is a daft pastime, but concensus seems to be we'll play a 3 2 2 3
If Rice and Rodri are the back 2, and 2 from KDB Kovacic and Foden the front 2, we'll need back up so still need Phillps or somebody.

Lewis and Kovacic, AND Stones can all fill in those Rice-Rodri roles far better than Phillips, i think.

Don't think Kovacic or Stones will be played there, Lewis possibly but not before Phillips.

Chelsea fans seem to think Kovacic "downed tools" in the last few months ... but I guess you can say that about the majority of their first team.

Always looked impressive for Croatia.

Ok for people to compare goals/assist stats, but how many would Gundo have if he'd spent the last 4-5 years playing for Chelsea? This City team brings out the best in players - if they want it.

Against the rags he was the only one that looked like he knew what he was doing, headless chickens for the rest of the team

Is he signing for the ladies team ?

Great stuff,in a world of extortionate deals this is a bargain.

If we start with

Akanji Dias Ake
Rodri Stones
Kovacic

I wouldn’t expect the front four to be doing much chasing back. The back three I’ve chosen based on the CL final.

Spurs fans said this about Walker.

We need to put him on a heavy protein diet as soon as he arrives.
