If he has turned down United due to their style (or lack of) and Madrid due to benchtime he has my respect. If so he show that money and winning trophies is secondary to playtime and brand of football.

Maybe we're in with a decent shout? Would salvage this window and give us a "big" name for when we move into our new home.

This is the signing I'm clinging onto despite being 95% certain it won't happen.

It seems all transfers will be going down to Thursday, and I've made the mistake of playing golf that day so I'll be on the course for the final hours of the window....however I am playing The Brabazon at The Belfry....for free.

Okay I’ll fess up I’ve hardly seen Kovacic play, mainly cos he’s not a starter for either Madrid or Croatia...is he really that much better than what we have??

We don't have anything like him. The closest would probably be Winks but he's better than him (for now at least).

How many big players? United is out. Barça is a non-starter. City does not make any sense - if he wants out to play more.

Who is bigger right now? Not Chelsea nor Arsenal. Liverpool have no money to spend.

I could see him wanting to go back to Italy - but that is not the same as a bigger club pushing Spurs out of the way.
Been stung too many times I'm afraid when it comes to these scenarios, Lex.

I hope you're right though.

That just says they continued their preparations with a double training session. Doesn't mean anything except he's training.

Apart from the fact Marca reported today that he supposedly refused to train and requested a transfer - full of shit, that paper

Well, it does contradict reports that he had refused to train, pushing for a move...
Maybe he refused to train and then changed his mind. Or came to an understand with the club about his future, either way.

Kovacic for me would be an unbelievable signing! If the latest news is true of him wanting to leave indefinitely then there literally would be no reason why we wont be interested especially at that price.

This could potentially be a signing that will without doubt elevate the team and the quality of play in every game he plays.

If he supposedly rejected Man Utds advances then boy does he have his head screwed on! Under poch he will thrive and im sure he knows that too and i wouldn't be surprised at all if our beloved Luka gives him a glowing reference.

Anyways back to reality.... We have 3 days left ffs and if Poch and Levy played their cards and dealt us Kovacic? I would be ecstatic!!lets see what happens :nailbiting:

This would be a fairly big deal to complete for Thursday with the biggest club In the world .

If anything was seriously happening the press would've been all over it by now I think

Was there anything in the Ozil deal to Arsenal before it happened?

We'd also have to sift through the BS of RM starting with "You want Kovacic? Give us Kane."
