Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 19, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted March 19, 2014 Mateo Kovacic anyone? Seen a few rather tenuous links to this guy crop up (as well as United and Arsenal). Doesn't seem to be getting as many minutes as he was last season but seems a real talent. Obligatory youtube highlight package to follow. Ainsley Harriott, mediator, Mufassir08 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodIsBlue 291 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like Kovacic a lot more tenacity than Rabiot. We were linked pretty heavily with Rabiot before the Jan transfer window, he had an injury during the window. They're both really creative youngsters it would be a tough choice.

lionsden 4,689 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Kovacic - Matic pivot would be wonderful.Isn't he an AM?. what we need is a DLP and the only gettable one at the moment at a right age due to the scarcity of players who fit that mode is Oliver Torres. We should have gone for Veratti when we had the chance before PSG got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have gone for Veratti when we had the chance before PSG got him.Yes we do need a DLP and he can play as a DLP/regista, he's been used as one before and pretty successfully. That's his true role, just that the Inter manager has been moving him about a lot. Oliver Torres is more of an AM than this fella IMO.

Alabama 1,992 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 how about ander Herrera for central midfield position...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I don't want us to buy another "potentially" good CM. We have mvg who checks out all the requirements in that area. Rabiot/torres won't improve us. Not in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 We definitely need to see more from MVG he's got potential however Rabiot/Kovacic are far a head of him at 18/19 years old. Kovacic is a lot better technically on the ball and this team benefits a lot from winning dribbles, Kovacic makes an incredible amount of touches when he plays for the time of shifts he puts him. I've seen Rabiot pick out some brilliant passes that are unbelievable for an 18 year old and he may look scrawny but its deceiving he's got strength and will become a tank. Kovacic particularly impresses me with how much the team around him trusts him and is willing to give him time on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt whatsover that his career path would have been much different than it is now if carlo was still in charge. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why you're comparing Kovacic or Rabiot to MVG when they're clearly different types of players. The former two are DLPs/registas whilst Van Ginkel is a B2B midfielder.
