This.His fitness and stamina will be transformed in 6 months.
He is a good dribbler. Press resistant and can advance the ball. Pretty sure a mid of KDB-Rodri-Kovacic will work very well.He's defensively better than Mount but Ten Hag's system relies on two creative mids next to a DM. Casemiro-Kovavic-Bruno wouldn't work.
Isn't that how we have been doing business for last 10 years.How the hell did we let City get ahead of us on this one? Most of the Caf wanted him for 6 months atleast.
And they always get their business done early and rarely in long drawn out sagas. Polar opposite from united TWThis is why they are where they are. Money or no money you can't deny they have a clear plan and no panic.
He's not the type of player to create chances in the same way Eriksen does, so it wouldn't be a like for like replacement.He is a good dribbler. Press resistant and can advance the ball. Pretty sure a mid of KDB-Rodri-Kovacic will work very well.

Every squad has different needsMultiple people in this thread saying to avoid Kovacic before and now he’s going to City the tunes change
Make no mistake Kovacic would be a massive upgrade for us but just him in a long list of players that people on here think we are too good for only for some other big club to snap them up
It’s a smart signing from City unfortunately
Yeah it's a shameI wish we were in for Kovacic - he would be a great signing for us.
I don't think he'd be good for United, but he'll do well at City. He'd have to cover too much space here as we're not a possession team and he's not dynamic or athletic enough. At city he'll fit into their suffocating passing machine style quite well though as he's excellent on the ball.Multiple people in this thread saying to avoid Kovacic before and now he’s going to City the tunes change

this is so typical for this cafe. First they want players who have similar traits to Frenkie, then saying we should avoid Kovacic because "he is 30 soon and his legs will gone". And now they think we missed a great opportunity because he will join City. I think he will do really well there.Very strange turn of events. Just look at the previous pages and you'd see "he's too old", "he had a poor season"
He's going to City though. It seems unlikely he would have chosen United at this moment in time.Mason Mount is not a real #8 like say Kovacic is.
He is more of a #8/#10 hybrid, like a Van de Beek/De Bruyne type.
He is a final third player, and we need a progressive player that will help in our build up play. Completely wrong profile imo. Wish we went for Kovacic.
There are some mad takes on here, you just have to look at the opinion changes of Casemiro throughout the season.this is so typical for this cafe.

I wouldn't say he's the ideal Gundogan replacement. Kovacic is an elite dribbler and is incredibly press resistant but little to no goal threat and not as good a passer as Gundogan. I'm pretty sure he would be a good player for City but he's not really a patch on the qualities Gundogan brought to the table.Talk of the ideal replacement for Ilkay Gundogan
Crazy talk. For me Gundogan has been City's most influential player of the last 4-5 years. Played CM, AM, false 9 and done inconceivably well at everything.I think he'll be an upgrade on Gundogan personally.
