Mateo Kovacic

[BlueMoonRisin’]

So you’re saying we may only get 8, rather than 9 years out of him?

Dunno mate, but he's getting on a bit. We usually sign players a few years younger.

Someone must be very hoarse at this stage.

Haha some people seem to think we still live in the 90s and that footballers are finished at the age of 32

Haha those people are such idiots. Footballers aren't finished until they wander off the edge of the earth, which is definitely flat

To be fair, some of the players we had in the 1990s were finished long before that…

How long has he got left at the top? 3 years? Can’t see this myself.

3 years of a great squad player is a perfectly valuable move, and when he moves on McAtee will either be ready or he won't and we can move onto someone else.

Still, I think he could go until he's at least 34.

This place is all about opinions but I’ve learnt to trust Pep et al on signings. Their hit rate is considerably higher than most.

Kovacic is going to be a monster under Pep.

I don't think a lot of people on here have seen kovacic play or looked at his medal count. The guy is a serious serious player. Great feet, disciplined and also has a bite to him. Going to be a cracking addition to this squad

Watching him today and going to judge him solely off of today's performance

Edit: Hasn't done much in the first couple of minutes

Fuck me, 120 sec to impress lol

Gundo only needed 12.

Ah yes, The Devil's DNA. Every City fans favorite Twitter account

Rodri in that top right quadrant, along with Gundo, Silva and KDB. Interestingly Lavia and Kovacic similarly placed.

A good player.
His medal count is a bit misleading though
The 3 champions league medals with Madrid and the one with Chelsea covered only a few minutes playing time on the pitch.

 

[PragueBlue]

Very tidy player. Would be a good addition.

I’d say give him time but on our beloved forum 2 minutes is plenty long enough to judge lol.

He will suit our possession game brilliantly he constantly looks to recycle the ball and can burst past players.
