Mateo Kovačić

This photo is 15 years ago, in 2000. Olympiakos-Liverpool in Athens. Kovacic was 6yo then, when he entered in the stadium to ask for Gerrard jersey.
Now he is off to Liverpool, what a story!

No he is asking Stevie for a sip of water and Gerrard isn´t having it.

Might not be a popular opinion, but I think he'll more than offset the loss of Sterling

(if his transfer to Liverpool comes through, and if Sterling does end up leaving for RM/the Manchester clubs/Bayern)

That's it then. I am disappointed but I also have faith in Lucho and his choice

 

[Kohe321]

I don't get what Vidal joining has got to do with signing a midfielder like Kovacic?

Wtf?

What Vidal has to do with Kovacic?

Good job, (Pogba-man) Braida.

Anyway, I hope that Braida will get fired once the new board comes in.
It seems that Braida's only job was only to get Pogba.

Braida doesn't decide, Lucho does.

Lucho wanted Kovacic to be our new Douglas

This is Lucho choice ,so whoever gonna be in charge after elections will go for Pogba too and Kovacic won't be in the top of our list

It is not about Kovacic anymore.
I just don't understand that obsession with buying Pogba at all costs.

Let's see if the new board is as equally as dumb as the current one.

If we are going by rumors (and rumors are the ones making us believe we have obsession with Pogba) it is Lucho who wants him .sure Board are jumping on the chance to make a big signing but that doesn't deny that the treble winning coach sees him as a gr8 addition to midfield
And Pogba is gr8 player . at the end he might prove them right .let's not act that buying him for fact is dumb decision .

Why is it Lucho's choice? How can Lucho be knowledgeable about what is available in markets around the world when he is the coach as well? Wouldnt Braida and other people at the current board have a huge say in who we buy?

Enrique is the coach. A treble-winning coach now. His wishes surely have a great influence in which players are bought or sold. Vidal was his choice, the type of player he loves.

What Braida says or not doesn't matter. The point is that he is not making any deals. He is doing shit all until we know who our next president is.

IF Bartomeu is re-elected whom Braida is working for, then yes, whatever he is doing got a point, but if there's someone else and that person decides to kick out Braida then what?

Besides, what has Braida even done for us? He is doing what any scout or sporting director can do. His great contacts is not even helping us with potentially getting Pogba. Juventus are still demanding 80m for him.

Yeah, he surely has substantial influence esp now that he won the treble. How does this work though? Lucho has to focus mostly on his coaching responsibilities, he cant really know that much about whats available in the market.
