Kovacic has been excellent for City so far to nobody’s surprise.

Not surprised, but the only thing that will seriously annoy me is if he stays injury-free there, the bloke was just never reliable here when it came to fitness.

I would say excellent is stretching it.

Given the options we now have in our midfield, Kovacic would have spent a lot of time on our bench, so the move to City was good for all and we really won't miss what he gave us (whatever that was!)

 

Kovacic was always going to be a good squad player for City.

Nah he’s been really good. City fans singing his praises calling him bargain of the season. Probably would not have been as good at Chelsea as they are a total mess right now.

We support Chelsea not Kovacic mate. Pulisic 47 will be on here next. 

Anyone seen the video where Kovacic appears to celebrate Palmer's equaliser from the penalty spot? 

 

I suppose there was always a risk that it might come to this:

Never understood why Pep wanted him if the goal was to replace Gundogan.

Guardiola is clearly not as impressed with Kova in his undies as we were! Go to Turkey, Mateo, and reunite with the legend that is Ziyech.

Kova leaving them would be great. 

I feel like Kovačić and Mudryk are the antithesis of each other in the proud recent history of Chelsea players with bizarre contradictory skillsets.

Kova: the technically outstanding centre mid whose best attributes are for some reason his dribbling and his work rate.

Mudryk: the lightning fast athlete with an appalling touch but who is for some reason pretty good at picking a pass.

Combine the best attributes of both and you almost have a Willian.

And both as consistent as my grandmother's custard
