Mateo Kovacic

[Tugay One Cup]

I think this would be a great signing. Would have preferred him a few years ago but this would be really smart business.

Fits us like a glove.

 

[paska]

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

We would be buying for the contribution over those next five seasons, rather than for a sell-on

 

[Tugay One Cup]

A big lump who lacks close control

Not sure you're thinking of the right player.

 

[Kamaro011]

He's a very good player but he will be 29 at the end of the season.
I prefer to sign younger midfielders.

We need senior player with loads of experience to replace, not a good thing to sign only younger player.

 

[Pedestrian]

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

Not for me. Definitely would struggle in the tight. Wrong player for our passing game. Also lacks any kind of pace which is an issue for us centrally. Not sure why someone who Chelsea are letting go would be a fit for us considering the quality difference between the teams. I’m the same about mount. Defo not good enough. Add rice into that list as well. All three are around the same level as Phillips.

if we can get him for close to 50 mil it is a no brainier. adds experience to our midfield if both gundo and bernardo go

He's literally described the opposite of Kovacic.

50m !?!?

He's got 1 year left on his contract, he's injury prone, will be 29 and Chelsea desperately need to offload players.

£35m. 3x what they got for Jorginho.


For £50m you might as well pay another 10 and get a statement signing in their mid 20s.

You can say not for you and he would struggle in the tight but it's just factually wrong. It's his biggest strength. Close control dribbling in tight spaces.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

Kovacic and Bellingham would do for me.
