Mateo Kovacic

Yes I think he is more a replacement if Bernardo is going.. but I cant see it.

This is a Gundo or even Phillips replacement signing not Bernado!

Is he really good enough?

He certainly a lot more ability than he's been allowed to show at Chelsea! You could stick Haaland and KDB in that Chelsea team right now and they'd look more like Nunez and Henderson. I believe that with Pep's coaching he could be the player we need to allow Rodri a rest. He's certainly levels above Philips. If we could move Philips and get Kovacic for the same cash, then it's a no brainer.

Depends on who we are comparing him to. Gundo or Bernardo? No. Phillips, yes. As a 4th option centrally? Yes.

So how crucial is it to our success to marginally upgrade on a player who played less than 600 minutes of football this season? And if Gundo or Bernardo leave it's a downgrade anyway, so I'm not sure about the benefit.

If he is for Bernie or Gundo, i'd pass and go elsewhere.

Suspect he'd be excellent under Guardiola and an adequate replacement for Gundogan.

If the fee is sensible and Gundogan is off, this would be a great deal.

I can't stand the bloke but I take confidence that he's posting it because others are and therefore maybe some truth to it. I want us to sign Kovacic.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Without selling Gundo or Bernardo, sure... But if he replaces one of those two... Yikes.
