Tbf what has RLC done to warrant all the hype.

Kovacic has been hugely rated for years now.

Infuriates me how he gets so many plaudits when he has no end product. His first cap for england against germany when everyone started to hype him ended 0-0

It’s just because he is the next young English lad to get hyped up over, it doesn’t necessarily mean he is very good yet.

In a midfield trio of wanyama eriksen and kovacic harry kane and co would bag ridiculous goal tallys. Fantastic player and he actually gets about the pitch better than i remembered. Seems to have a good attitude also. Surely he is leaving madrid he only made less that 1500 minutes last season and most of those were in dead rubbers.

Son, Kane and Lucas up top with Wanyama, Eriksen and Kovacic would be filthy. So much speed, creativity and finishing in that group.

Can’t really see him leaving this window unless Loptegui tells him he isn’t in the plan (and he’s not the brightest manager, but I don’t think he’s that dumb). Madrid have Ronaldo money now so don’t really need to sell and after the WC he may feel he’s shown enough to get playing time beside Modric. I think most Madrid players will wait to see how they fit with the new manager and new Ronaldo-free era before pushing too hard for a move.

Would you not have Dele Alli in your team?

I love this guy's talent and wanted to see him in a spurs shirt since he went to RM. Saying that if he is in the starting 11 tonight I can get and idea of how good he really is and whether he would be worth a punt.

Some rumours going around that city are in for him now instead of Jorginho. i think the mirror is the original source which makes it highly unlikely but wouldn't be surprised if he was a potential backup if they fail to get Jorginho (chelsea seems to be leading the race).

The Ronaldo money will be burning a hole in RM's pocket. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they spent substantially more than that on an incoming marquee signing.

Jorginho is going Chelsea unless something drastic changes, Napoli’s owner announced yesterday.

Seen 80m euro as their asking price, also that they are not willing to sell. Hard to see this one happening despite being probably one of the best signings we could make this window imo.

Maybe it's 80 for city for being such cocks and fecking up the player market along with psg.
