Joker10 946 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I believe he would do well with a change of scenario. Maybe he goes to a team in Italy and replicate his regular Nigeria form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We need his Nigeria form from now till the end of the season, especially in the Champions League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remains of the day 564 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I try not to pay attention to transfer rumours but this guy is VERY reliable when it comes to news relating to Nigerian players or about the national team.Looks like there's a damn good possibility Mikel will be off in the summer transfer window. seanptmiller, The Skipper and The Mak 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin knows John personally. He was the first to deny the Galatasaray rumors last summer. If he says there was a meeting, then there probably was.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Kovacic Mikel swap please!Can't see Inter letting Kovasic go. But what a brilliant talent he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Can't see Inter letting Kovasic go. But what a brilliant talent he is. Mazzari barely plays him hence he is pretty frustrated over there.I reckon if we are serious enough we can sign him. BloodIsBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he won't be played here either. He's an amazing prospect, but he's still got a lot improve on. I guess the best thing would be to buy him and send straight away on loan to a team where he'd be a guaranteed starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the best thing would be to buy him and send straight away on loan to a team where he'd be a guaranteed starter. I disagree,I think he'll get plenty of playing time here.Obviously he has to improve a lot of things but then again he is just 19 so its normal but he is already at a level where he can contribute significantly over here imo.Besides there aren't that many options in the market at the momnet.

And despite that, it's still not the best of midfield for us. It's still lacking that X-factor, that extra bit of quality. Lampard is ageing and can't keep on going forever. Ramires is a great athlete but very average as a footballer. Matic is the only one great there. MvG and Kovacic are both still young and developing. Never know how are they going to turn up to be like. We need someone who is at his peak or entering it that can come in and immediately make a difference for us, not someone who is past that or need to wait years to get there. Otherwise, we'll still be sitting here and complaining about the same midfield issues next season, again (let's not forget how long this issue has been around!). And said this many times, people want us to go out there and buy another young talent like Kovacic but would probably later moan about not giving our youths a chance...
