Fingers crossed lamps makes him into a better player I'm guessing Drinkwater or Baka will be sold in the summer

Kovacic as Kante backup and Drinkwater as Jorginho backup with Bakayoko out of the door seems like the most likely scenario to me

Quality on the ball not questionable, gifted player without doubt but a big question mark over goals.

Definitely adds something, and it was a backs against the wall decision due to the transfer ban.

Yes!!! He’s a good player who’s very comfortable on the ball.

he hasn’t offered enough in attack, but can improve in that especially with Lampard at the helm.

Even if you are not a fan of kova, think of him as one more player ahead of bakayoko... see him as a buffer to protect us from a completely inapt footballer.

A signing yay

I like this signing. Kovacic is our most talented midfielder but he is a weird player. Technically brilliant, defensively better than ruben and Barkley. The problem with kova is he need to be more aggressive and brave in his passing. It all about decision making imo, and that usually come with game time. If he can get that area better 40m is a bargain for player of kova quality

Even kovacic's mum would not be using adjectives like brilliant to describe him. To call him the "most talented of our midfielders", is nothing but ridiculing the rest of our midfielders. Specially when they are someone like ruben, kante (the best b2b in the world) and a DLP like jorginho. 

But dont worry, this brilliant talented midfielder will hopefully be moved on in the next 2 years and we will be wondering and cursing the board on how we managed to spend 120mil on kovacic, bakayoko and drinkwater. SHAMBLES

17 of your last 25 posts are taking swipes at Kovacic to one degree or another. We get it, you don't like him.

Your getting boring now. A shame isn't it, that our new manager backed this transfer and given his full approval. Unlucky for some.

And we know this how exactly? Just like conte approved the michy signing? Give it a rest mate.

Even if SFL did give this signing his backing, it was a bad decision. We have seen first hand what kovacic can do, and the list really is not that big. A 50mil signing should be helping the team become better almost instantly not be regarded as "he CAN be a good back up", "IF lamps can make him a goal scorer" etc etc. Its not like he is a 20 year old. He is 25 and has probbably reached his ceiling, which really is not that high.

Sorry if i am not going all giddy over this transfer. I have seen plenty of this player in the last 4 seasons to know how he is going to perform this season.

Given the fact that we have a transfer ban, and there really is not much going on at the club, its hard not to talk about the 1 transfer that did happen. Or should I be discussing kalas and da silva?

Well, we left it very recent, which happens to be same time Lampard was about to being appointed manager and that would line up with reports that Lampard approved the move. We didn't resign Higuaín yet signed Kovacic. Fairly obvious. I still think he can add goals to his game. I don't think he will be a world class player, but unlike you I have seen enough to see why we have bought him permanently and think he is a good player. We are on a ban and right now, should not even be looking at the fee. All things considered, we bought him and judging by this being the only transfer, I don't care about the fee. 

But either way you keep on bringing the same points over and over again. What are you adding new? We get it. You don't like him. Hopefully he proves you wrong.
