Lol at no Berna.
Scored one goal and suddenly he is the new Del Piero?!
He is good but honestly he isnt in our best 11 yet - He is definitely a player who can be there though..
As for someone who hasnt been mentioned here Pjaca - He IMO is a player who can act as another type of weapon when needed but I just cant see him as a future starter as he is too much of a dribbler and less of everything else..
D.Costa is getting better everyday though and surely deserve to be in next year`s starting 11 though

Beppster and Lotito

When will the Kovacic hype end? The man underperformes season after season with 10 different coaches. He does not fit 99% of teams because he simply doesn't understand football. He has 0 tactical awareness. Only way he works is like Mazzarri used to play him in a 3-5-2 with no responsibilities. He isn't worth it.

Is he underperforming? Because he isnt a starter for Madrid. If anything I think that through all these coaches and none of them want him gone to bring in better talent at Madrid says something. He isnt a world beater but he is quite good. Also under performing is very relative term. How good do you expect him to be? For instance I think Higuain is underperforming because of his price but Vucinic overperformed for us. Higgy is miles ahead

Yes he is inderperforming lol. Have you seen him? Adds less and less every time. That's his trajectory every single time. Season starts, his talent and promise show through his technique, gets starts and everyone is hopeful, quickly becomes useless guys the bench and plays less and less.

He is a central midfielder whose main contribution are runs into space with the the ball. At everything else he is average or below average. His apparent talent never actually shows in consistent performances.

He is obviously behind the 3 starting midfielders, then behind Isco, then behind Asensio and Vazquez. Soon enough he will be behind Ceballos.

Now I want Kovacic even more! :tuttosport:
Kovacic is a great player but always felt he if overly valued by others
I mean he is a great player but he isnt a Modric or something..

Thauvin is the player I want - This guy is going to be huge IMO

How much would he cost should we want him?

Lel at considering a player great but holding it against him that he isn't Modric. Got news for you, no other players is Modric

Kovacic has upsides, he's not a finished article but he has talent.

Thauvin has hit his ceiling, chances for him going to a top club is near zero

You do know that I meant Modric as a reference and not specifically him...
I meant Kovacic is great but he isnt the one to take us to the next levetl
Thauvin his his ceiling?! Not sure about it but he is very good IMO same goes for Fekir

What are our needs for the summer window?
Obviously RB.
Midfielder? If we get Can getting another one would be getting rid of other players.
Any offensive options?
I guess a lot depends on if Sandro or Dybala leaves. I really dont want Sandro to leave but seems like thats a guarantee

the time is not yet ripe
The dude is 24, not 19. Jesus Christ.

Berna is the future of this team.

Kovacic will add something to this team that we have missed since Pogba left. A skillful, direct midfielder who can dribble past multiple opponents and slice open defences. Pjanic was more of a Pirlo replacement. We haven’t replaced Pogba yet, Kovacic would be ideal.
