Now Roberto will force him to the LW position and in 3 months we will be like "fu Mancini let's fire him"

This is like comparing Vieri to Ronaldo, clearly Ronaldo is the better player, endowed with incredible natural talent thanks to his brazilian/samba roots but guess what.... they're both world class players only their style of play is different.If kova can be as good as thiago in 2 years time, that'd be a remarkable achievement.
i stated quite clearly that Ronaldo was world class. In fact as a striker, i rate him higher than messi. I was simply highlighting some of the negatives of Thiago game.So Ronaldo wasn't world class because he was injury prone?
and who is, Kuz and Guarin?? Smh right now Kova is the our best player in terms of talent. Mazzari dented his confidence and natural game playing him as an AMF trying to get him to shoot more... he's a CMF. Why not let Kova play where he is comfortable?Hopefully we'll get a game here and there where Kova won't play. He has to play against small teams tho, remember the Lazio game? He is capable to do some damage, but not against better opposition, not yet.
The point is we are in a situation where we can't afford to pay for top talents who are already developed. We can either buy young talents before they've proven themselves. Or we can buy squad players who will never be top class, e.g. Alvarez or Kuzmanovic.
At Dinamo Zagreb, Kovacic was known to be a tremendous talent and a starter with more Champions League experience than maybe half our squad has ever seen. I don't know how much more development you could've realistically expected without the price exploding. And let's face it, if Kovacic had not been on shitty teams for the last two seasons coached by losers like Mazzarri and thus possibly developed more than he has now, his value would be much higher than €20m.
Cou as an amc? Yes
kova is better as cm
Botta is a nobody
