Mateo Kovacic

[ElMago_DSilva]

Always been a huge fan. Ball retention and dribbling in tight areas is superb. Just the age which puts me off.

On a cut price deal it's worth the punt, definitely.

 

[RayCTID]

Hopefully he doesn't sign a new deal and he wants to stay in the Premier league and the move up north.

This guy is probably my favourite player in the PL outside City.

Love watching him play.

Not saying he's the best and certainly doesn't chip in with enough goals/assists, but an absolutely gorgeous player to watch the way he can just turn out of trouble.

Scored two goals tonight away against Turkey :)

Such a fucking smart player. He would thrive under Pep.

yeah he`s great in tight spaces and uses the ball so well, just shit at finishing ;-)

 

[tony adcock]

I do think he is decent - but is he the correct type of player to replace Mr Whippy ( if we assume he is leaving ) ?

I’m just not sure who he replaced in our line up

what do you mean he is exactly like gundogan just that sometimes he like to dribble more with the ball. other than that they are mostly similar players.

That and Gundo is an infinitely better goalscorer.

 

[burning blue soul]

We need to keep Gundogan for 2 more years.
He's the best at what he does. Everyone else is a downgrade.

 

[Haaland94]

Our interest in him indicates that, sadly, Gundo is likely going to leave. Everyone else in world football is a downgrade, but at 30m, he seems to be a good, proven option to have. Bellingham is 19, so signing someone with more experience is not a bad move, IMO. Especially since we might be losing 2-3 of our more experienced players this summer (hope not).

Yes fukin please!

 

[bongsblue]

A very talented footballer who, if I remember correctly, we were in the market for before he chose Chelsea as his loan destination just after the Centurions season. Recall being a bit disappointed at the time but it didn't turn out too badly for us did it!

 

[Brewster's millions]

If we can sign this bloke for 30m and get more than 30m for Phillips, then I would say that’s extremely good business.

 

[FantasyIreland]

30m for a very reliable and consistently top class international,who isnt 29 till next month......its an absolute no brainer.

Him and Bellingham will give us the extra power and bite we sometimes miss.

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

Can he be a replacement for Phillips instead of Gundogan? Because if he does, it's a no- brainer.

 

[Belgique est Fantastique]

There’s a world of difference in goals and assists netwerk Kovacic and Gundogan. Thats’s something we can’t forget when replacing Silky Ilky.

Completely agree, I wouldn’t let Kovacic near the opposition penalty area, his finishing is poor (that volley from the edge of the box excepted). If he replaced Phillips though…

 

[thegundogang]

Croatian UCL juju on finally on its way to the Etihad then? Exactly what we need in midfield and for me is years ahead of Enzo and even Kanté in CFC’s midfield now. 30m surely a no brainier.
