I get where you're coming from, but if there's a chance to improve our squad, even just for this season, we should take it - we won't bring in a better midfielder than Kovacic this summer
Madrid are getting what they want though, his wages paid, he gets first team action for a whole season, stops him complaining while they use up what is left in Modric's tank and then when they deem it time, shift Modric and bring Kovacic back into the fold ...

Can't see either Levy or Poch being interested in that.

He is a top player, probably regarded that way too, I would have loved him to be a Spurs signing, I said as much at the start of the window to someone here. I have no idea though if anyone at Spurs wanted him, if I had that kind of info I wouldn't be here, would I?

If it is a loan, would it not make some kind of sense he might be included in a deal for Courtois?

It was a rhetorical question.

Just as I thought. I stopped entertaining the thought of these kind of players joining us a long time ago. Let's see what else we have in line....

To be honest, i don‘t even know whether the club and poch really want him. Most Spurs fans want him, but that does not mean the club want/rate him

Fair point but I would still rather he was on loan to us than them.

Really hoping it’s just marca BS

There were no massive links to us anyway which is actually more annoying. We have the weakest midfield out of the top 6 now on paper, especially with injuries. City, united and Chelsea are miles ahead. The disappointing thing is that it is the area of most concern so unless we pull something out of our dickhole we've messed up yet again

Yeah I can see why Levy or Poch wouldn't be intrested in that too...but I do see massive benefits from signing a player who wants to prove himself on loan for a season

Kovacic joining Chelsea is the worse news here than him not joining us. That would be an incredible signing for them, and we're very likely to be competing directly with them for finishing positions.

We all know levy never does these loan deals but ffs, fucking despise chelsea. Knowing them the loan fee is 100 trillion dollars or something.

I think that'll be the thorn in peoples sides, if it was say him going back to Inter for a season, people would be fairly okay with it, it's the fact it's Chelsea. Par for the course.

Must be shit though if you're a central mid in that team behind those three.

Apparently Man U bid 60m euro and he rejected to play for Mourinho.

Ruben Lofuts-Cheek will definitely be off on loan, I reckon - no way he gets a game now. I hoped we'd be able to get him, but I doubt it.

Jorginho,
Kante
Kovacic
Barkley
Bakayoko
Fabregas
Drinkwater


Just writing that list, didn't realise how many options they have...
