Mateo Kovacic

[DeBlueLou]

I reckon he'll start more league games than he doesn't.

Especially with Kdb out perhaps at the start. A full preseason with Pep

No worries (i spent too much time on Facebook pages!) Have to agree i take all media stories with a pinch of salt until they are actually presented signing, at the moment we are after 20 players and the whole squad are looking to leave except Ederson and Stones - making a living the same way dung beetles live!

Well looks like you had your money on the right sources, so now is the time to talk him up.
So Pep has finally got his midfield general, £50 million less than Jorginho was quoted to us, and he does not come with a myriad of senseless passes, that Jorginho does, regarded as a technical player playing in the most technical national team, is suggesting the experts do not know how to describe him, best calling him a deep lying playmaker, those wishing to see exciting football maybe dismayed, but those wanting to see good football will be happy, Chelsea fans rate him still, he is good when they win and invisable when they lose, so we should enjoy him better than they did, :).
So now i am putting on my Pep Physic hat on, we are losing experienced players and Pep loves experience, most of his buys come with this trait, Kovacic may well be the foil for a raft of pacy players at LB,RB LW,RW and CM.

Just like the much better David Silva, he was also irreplaceable, right?

Nope ! David, kdb, gundog , ineasta and xavi are irreplaceable .Sure you can fill in the blanks but can not replace .

They don't though. We drop back 10 yards and they regroup and say 'OK, you're 10 yrds further back, now what are you gonna do?' teams are a lot more comfortable letting us have possession than they were at the start of the Pep project, and it shows - we don't really score 5/6 goals a game anymore.

That's why we miss Raz - he used to mess up their defensive rhythm by giving them the ball.

ffs mateo.

I was hoping we would announce him today. At least we have some yt videos to look at ;)



Excellent signing, 12 months from now, we will be calling him the bargain of the season.

How creative is Kovacic?

Pretty good at poems, average at pottery.

 

[not my fault!]

Pretty good at poems, average at pottery.

His water colour work though is divine.

How creative is Kovacic?

Very. He’s everything we need in a Pep midfielder.
