Sad to see him go to a shitty club. We shouldn't have sold him to Real, it hampered his growth.

He also agreed to the transfer, it was evident he wasn't going to play a lot and someone like him needed to be a starter, Branca was an idiot but he also should have left after his first year there. Hopefully his experience there with the players, club & coaches helped him in someway. Also dry loan means RM still believe in him.

Lmfao what? A regular player is something like 1700 to 1800 minutes in the league. He got 1,000 in the league with Modric + injuries. How would Modric not leaving give him more play time, especially if he's fit? You're making it sound like Ceballos and Llorente are the second coming of Xavi or something. Zidane even benched Casemiro for Kovacic in the semis against Bayern.

If he was that unwanted, Perez would just fucking sell him outright. Yet, he's insisting otherwise.

He got the minutes because either modric or kroos was injured in the first place. He would have stayed if he thought he'd be the next starter, not desperately pushing his way out by sabotaging training.

My older brother is a chelsea fan and is actually quite pleased by the fact that they've signed him and believes he will get game time. Fabregas is a shadow of what he was, Barkley has serious fitness and injury issues as has Danny Drinkwater since arriving, Bakayoko is helpless. So that really leaves Kante, Jorginho, Loftus Cheek and Kovacic leading the midfield pack this season.

If it goes well, I'll be very happy for Kova.

All chelsea fans are happy, no one really watched Real play :lol: EPL fans are MOSTLY hype based, not really aware of players outside EPL.

Playing for Inter also hampered his growth. It is not like he played for us with any consistency or regularity. We acquired his services only for him to spend most of his time on the bench or as an ineffective contributor to the team.

Personally, I think he is overrated. He has been a professional footballer for eight years and to this day no one actually knows his best position.

What does that say about him as a footballer? Ineffective and unconvincing are two words that readily come to mind when I think of Kovacic.

Meh too bad Kova can't score or doesn't know what the hell he is, he's in midfield limbo like Barkley tbh.

He was on an upwards trend with Mazzarri.

If only Mazzarri stayed and not let that fool swapped Kovacic for Kondogbia.

Reckon one of his highlights here was when Mazzarri took him off within thirty minutes

We should've taken him on dry loan. Now that would've been a great deal.

It's not really a dry loan. It's a deal they struck to ONLY pay 35mil for Courtois.














And I wouldn't want Kova anyway...

There is still no option for him though so its a free year loan, which max would have cost 5-10M, he wanted to leave to play as a starter thats why he was included in the deal. RM could have went up to 50 easy for Courtois

Sarri is doing great with Kova, he's using him right, he had a good assist to Hazard just now.

He's been an instant hit with the Chelsea fans, relieved to see something different from the shit they're used to in the centre of the field from Fabregas. Sarri giving him a licence to play proper football is always going to be a plus for him as well. Happy to see him doing well.

I would be happy for him but kissing the madrid badge as soon as he joined made me lose any positive feelings I had towards him.
