Mateo Kovacic

[city warrior]

He is a really good player with some qualities that Gundogan or Bernardo don't have. It's not like Phillips where he is inferior in every single football quality to Rodri. Kovacic is not a goal threat, but we have Grealish who is also awful at scoring, and he has been one of our most important players of the season.

Good passing, great dribbling, faster than Bernardo or Gundogan, great going forward and breaking defenses, good energy and tackling, and he has been in teams that have won Europe/excel in the WC, so I imagine he has a good mentality.

Chelsea has been a disaster this year, not even Messi would look decent there. Also, people think playing in ou team is difficult, but it's only the adaptation process that is hard, once that is done, there is no easier team to play in the world. If you cannot be world-class in Pep's City, you cannot be anywhere else. It's not luck that our players always peak with us, and not with their national teams or with the clubs they play before or after City. Imagine Kovacic best season, and double that, and that's what he will look like with us after 20-30 games of adaptation.

We are not buying the next big superstar, but it's only 30m, and for that I don't see anyone better than Kovacic.

Be a Pep master plan, a load of shy goal scoring midfielders who are instrumental in keeping the ball and building pressure.

We will then have Kevin and Haaland who will get 30 assists and 50 PL goals

Great signing if we get him

You've clearly not watched Chelsea that much then.

I`ve watched him enough to have an opinion

 

[skillman]

Are you trying to compare Kovacic with Fernandinho. I can only say what he`s looked like this season and thats been shite. And if it takes him 12 months to adapt to City like most have.

No mate. But he’s also not shite.

Can see him doing a job instead of Phillips. Good acceleration to get past players and a good eye for interception.

One of the "highlights" is of him running square across midfield and losing the ball.

Don`t want him, don`t rate him, hopefully we won`t buy him. If he`s to replace Gundogan or as a stand in to allow Rodri to rest it`s too much of a drop off. IMO

Is that supposed to be a highlights video to prove how good or how average he is.

lol.

3.45 he runs passed Gundogan highlights your having a laugh.

No please ! He is the most underrated player I have even seen ! And this is not a mere assertion, it is a fact based on me having watched him since he was playing for Inter week in week out. So ineffective with an annoying and negative style of play. Signing him will be a major downgrade, besides I do not want any player from Chelsea.
