El P. 1,354 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 With present RLC's form, I think we should let Kova go and buy ourselves some young prospect as a Jorginho substitute (who would succeed him soon) like we tried with that guy from Zenit. Kova should play regularly at some more Modrić or Dembele DLP type role, in 2-man midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarri got Jorginho (shit player, but he wanted him) and he wanted Higuain (shit player, but he wanted him) and now he wants Kovacic (shit player, but Sarri wants him). Now, if the board don´t agree with Sarri, people, will complain that our coaches don´t get their transfer wishes. If he gets his wish, people will complain about the board that they do stupid decisions...  OhForAGreavsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention Barella since I remember we was link to both. Paredes has barely played. Based on YouTube videos I will admit, he looked decent technically but again thats always the risk with judging players soley on youtube, he obviously isnt half the player many believed. I mean PSG wanted a 6 in the summer, didnt get one meaning they played a CB there for a while, Paredes has rarely gotten a game and considering PSG have effectively frozen out Adrien Rabiot ages ago after crying out for MF reinforcements in the summer.. says a lot regarding the fact hes barely started any games for them. 29 minutes ago, MoroccanBlue said: Can Barella play in that holding midfielder role? Hes a box to box player, he would he incredibly wasted as a 6 in my opinion. From what I have seen, he is very tenacious, very good at recovering the ball, carrying it and the games I have seen with Italy and Cagliari, he doesnt play as a sitter, he has actually played as an attacking midfielder for Cagliari this season.

How's his end product? Because all we really need is an AMF and competition for Jorginho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regista is not exactly number six in a classic way. I still think we should stick with Sarri, get new players(after his wishes) and keep Jorginho. He is the king of that position. It took him some time to adapt at Napoli too but if a team os builded around him he can be a big weapon.. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Think Zenit would be a good move for him. Hes got the make up of a good player but a lack of goals, key passes and assists at a top club for a more attacking midfielder is shocking.

Very possibly because they are already registered with us, there is a potential loophole to be able to extend those loans (although if that was the case, I guess there would be consideration whether it would also work the other way around with regards to players we already have on loan). Not sold on Kovacic, but if we're in this mess next season being able to extend his loan will be helpful and £26m isn't a ridiculous figure. Last summer there was talk of Madrid wanting £50-60m for him. NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
