Mateo Kovacic

[Gumzy97]

So press resistant. Just glides past players in midfield. Going to be incredible in our side.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Does he track back?...........:-)

 

[DeBlueLou]

he will be a great addition

 

[CityForever45]

Get him

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Good player

 

[Bill Walker]

If Gundo leaves we need him, but wish he was 27. Value at 29 should be about 25 million shirley..

I think he offers something we do not have and he’s probably added for depth

 

[Delphinho]

Expect this to pick up some pace now that there’s no more international football with Croatia

 

[LongsightM13]

Probably not an exciting signing but a smart one at a relatively low fee
Would hope his goals and assist numbers would improve in a better team

 

[Bill Walker]

I'm always hoping that a slot will be given to a young home grown lad to break through. Each time we buy their chances diminish. (slightly sad)
But I support Pep and trust him.

Where have you been? Sounds like McAtee and Bobb will be given a chance to stick around next season

I really don't want to start some debate about McAtee etc but each time we buy their chances of game time for an extended run lessen.

Where we are at they have to be good enough. No easy ins for anyone

Gundo only needed 12.

He certainly is no Gundog!

 

[FantasyIreland]

Had a decent game last night.

You can see why Pep wants him.......he has the vision,awareness,mentality and technical ability a midfielder in our set up requires.

Basically,he is a superior version of Philips.

Is he good defensively? I haven't personally paid too much attention to him in the past.

Yes,again similar to Philips - he just has that bit moe quality about him.

 

[goalmole]

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

That's 3 years of help and relief Rodri will get, the alternative being that we run him into the ground by overplaying him.
Put a value on that.

Wasn't a big fan of his, but I'm warming up to the signing. He will be a good addition, all stats point glowingly to his press resistance, very experienced on the biggest stages, and tactically, he can be played as a 6 or an 8.
