You were quicker quoting than my editing And agree about Cescy. I was wondering a little whether he was dropping hints of a gooners return. I cant see many affording him or his wages so its a difficult one. Shame really. But hes a old pro and handles himself well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I think it's Kovacic OR Serri. 3 man midfield, you're looking at 5/6 players, plus maybe a young option used sparingly (which RLC doesn't want) So: Kante Golovin Serri/Kovacic and 2/3 out of: Fabregas (unmoveable), Baks, Drinkwater, RLC, Barkley Can see RLC out on loan again. We'll see what happens. I'm pretty sure that we'll get Golovin, maybe Serri, doubtful on Kovacic (maybe we can do a Courtois swap if we're really interested).

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Don't think we should go for Serri at all, don't think hes anything special, average at best. Kovacic on the other hand? Get him in. Its such a shame hes used so sparingly at Madrid because he could be an excellent player with the continuity of playing every week, fair enough he could still improve but he'd be an excellent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not him, I wouldnt mind Seri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is profoundly ordinary. I have listed 20 plus (including his teammate Roberto Gagliardini) who would be far better buys for what is his role.

(Express, via Calciomercato) Quite rightly so. Fuck playing in that United team, player such as Kovacic would be wasted. Fred and Pogba are wasted in that team too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is rounded can play deeper if needed maybe but he’s a more offensive midfielder. He would play Barkleys role probably taking into account Kante and Jorginho are nailed on to start. He made his mark as a attacking midfielder in Croatia and for a bit at Inter but has was taken deeper a bit by Benitez and Zizou. He would be a great fit here regardless.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I think he's mostly thought of as a defensive midfielder because Real play (played) more in a 4231.  Defensive midfielders don't usually make runs like these:  C'mon Pedulla, give us more "hot days" Link to the article:  https://www.alfredopedulla.com/esclusiva-chelsea-tra-courtois-e-due-opzioni-per-la-porta-kovacic-chiodo-fisso/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
