Mateo Kovacic

[Jwoody19]

If we can get him cheap he’d be a good buy. Plenty of premier league and champions league experience

Kovacic plays more progressive passes per 90 than KDB. (last 365 days) What.

found the above surprising in a quick check of stats for Kova over the last year, only one player plays more for us. I like him alot, great played in the metronome CM role

Class player

 

[FantasyIreland]

His character and attitude as much as his ability are a huge draw.

He clearly doesnt like losing.....he would bring some much needed bite to the squad.

Chelsea will definitely need to sell , would be more of a Bernardo replacement in terms of play style

wouldn’t demand to play every game as well

its a no brainer

 

[Blue Smarties]

Not a bad player but he’s 28 already so it’s 4 or 5 years then no real sell on value

Don’t think we’d need a sell on value if we sign him for £20m and he stays for 4 or 5 years?

Crikey. No. A big lump who lacks close control and could never replace the work rate of Bernardo. A backward signing in the ilk of Phillips.

What do you mean lacks close control? It's one of his biggest attributes. He's a real midfield dribbler with la pausa.

 

[grifter]

Not sure on this one. I do like his dribbling ability but don’t think he suits our game.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Absolutely brilliant player when he is fit.

Progressive with a real bite to his game. Under someone like Pep, I could certainly see it.
