Mateo Kovacic

Yoikes, if Bakayoko is off in order to make room for Kovacic would strengthen them a lot. Hate to say it but it wont take a huge amount to get them challenging properly for 2nd-4th again
 
Hardly. We'd agreed terms with Willian and he'd had a medical hadnt he? Kovacic, if you believe reports, we made one call to Real earlier in the window and thats it. So if Kovacic is like Willian, then so are probably 50 others

But it's still the perfect long-term Dembele replacement going to one of our major rival because of something out of our control (the Courtois deal)

What was out of our control in the Willian deal? We screwed up by talking about it before it was signed and then Chelsea jumped in
 
Kovacic in, Dembele out, and keeping Alder for now, would be an excellent window

The great thing about Kovacic is that he's a genuine option for several of our needs - Dembele's replacement alongside Dier/Wanyama, plus covering Eriksen (with Winks coming into CM).
 
Thing is if they sign this other keeper then Courtois has to be sold anyway, the price might just go up a little.
 
BBC reporting he’s having a medical at Chelsea for a season long loan?

Yeah and the question is do we have the gonads to go and bid £60m or thereabouts to sign him permanently.

I maintain that as of now we are a bigger and more attractive club than chelsea.

Bid the money and he'll demand a move to Tottenham, regardless of whatever deal madrid are trying to do with chelsea.

Question is, will we do that or instead continue to behave like a bottom 4 club rather than a top 4 one.
