WTF are we doing paying £45m for Kovacic?
Along with Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Barkley, Jorginho and many more. Mediocrity beckons.
Remember when Ballack couldn't get into the starting line up?
Oh we have no strikers either

DA, we know that the market is crazy,but, saying that 40 plus million for Kovacic is reasonable,is beyond my comprehension, whatever next,you¡ll be saying that Bakayoko is reasonable and worth keeping !

Why would you be more willing to give Bakayoko another chance but not Kovacic?

Because we already own him and wouldn't have to pay £40m for him.
I'd rather we kept the £40m to invest in players of a really high quality in positions we do need next time we can do business.

Suspect this was part of the Hazard deal ......

I dunno bluepensioner, the club said they wanted to keep Kova out of the Hazard deal!
Not sure what difference it makes though, the way I see it now we only got about £90m for Hazard!

It depends what deals you focus on. Age and contract length seem to determine the market now more than ever. Kovacic is 25, a seasoned international, been playing at a high level for a long time. 40mil seems about right for a player of his profile to me, 30mil would be a bargain.

But you've also said that you don't think we need him as well Devil - I think it just begs the question why pay that much money for some one we don't necessarily need.

It's not so much 'We need him lets do it', my feelings are more 'Looks like it's happening. Cool'.
