Mateo Kovačić

If that Croatian report is right and Kova was indeed sad for leaving Inter then it might be that Inter forced him out?

Of course that's what happened. To not value Kovacic and the supposed future of this club over 35 million (when you're spending more than 100 mill in new players) is to not believe in that future altogether.

This says more about our fucked up coach, team, and management than it does about Kovacic's quality.

Neither of Mazzarri and Mancini could find right spot to Kovacic and Kova couldn't performer how we all expected. Only the the period when Strama used 442 rombo Kova were having solid performances many weeks in a row.

I just came here to give my 2 cents about all this & after that I'll never be in this thread again: :work:



First & foremost, fuck a Kovacic man...
Dear admins, please remove the "legend" & "Icon" options in future polls cuz bitches ain't loyal these days. Nobody comes here to stay anymore.

That being said, I want to congratulate Kovacic NOT for joining Real, but for joining either Chelsea/PSG/City in one year time, after Rafa is fired cuz he failed to meet the management's expectations (which is nothing less than La Liga win) & the new coach they hire wants to clean the house a bit, & rearrange the squad to his own liking.

Where the fuck does this young kid wanna play, seriously? They wanna bench James or Kroos, huh? Ever thought about that, Mateo? It's too big of a step for you, kid.
It's like Universe who drives a VW Polo being offered a Lamborghini which he of course accepts, without thinking he doesn't have a house with a proper garage to park it. Can't leave that shit at night on the open, gay Korean streets, god damn.



Anyways, I said my piece. Fuck a Kovacic & fuck all y'alls too. I hate all of yous & this circus of a club y'alls support.

The fuck you're raging at? To Kovacic???

It was Inter who sold Kovacic. He NEVER pushed for a transfer. Probably it's not a wise move for him (financially it is though), but if your club wants to sell you to Real Madrid, who the FUCK is gonna reject that move?

He speaks italian very well.

Can't believe there are people saying "he couldn't perform as expected" "35 mill was a good fee for Inter right now". For christ sake, how are we going to qualify for Champions League without him? Stuck with a Brozovic, Medel, Guarin, Hernanes midfield, our future is set in midtable mediocrity. The only bright spot is an (inconsistent) Kondogbia, but our midfield lacks balance and it'll be hard for him not to be crushed by the pressure. With how much we paid, Kondogbia will have to really pull it out in a very different environment than Monaco, a difficult place for any young player to develop, for us not to have been screwed over. Kovacic has world class ability and we could've kept him along with Kondogbia if we really wanted to. As CoolMan44 just mentioned, the fact Mancini refuses to accommodate a player of Kovacic's talent in this Inter side says more about his managerial ability than anything else.

I also love when people say "Kovacic isn't Pogba" like Guarin, Brozovic, Hernanes are. Or like Kondogbia isn't more inconsistent than Kovacic, or that we're in the state to only be looking at someone like Pogba. Or the idea that Pogba would have developed at Inter as he has done at Juventus, like he would be a consistent player in this fucking club. Or "we shouldn't be looking at young players" like we can afford anything that isn't young but also isn't mediocre. We basically sold off any elite ceiling this club had to Real Madrid. A lot of Inter fans have learned absolutely nothing from the past.

Well that is just the point. Kova couldn't perform at the level of the price Real Madrid now was ready to pay for him. Kova is still too young to carry Inter to CL places(I don't even know if anyone could).

To be clear I would not have sold Kovacic but I am little bit surprised how even some older members of this forum are reacting about the sale. It almost seems that this is first time to many when their favourite player is sold. Players come and go thats part of club football.

It is a part of football for good players to try and go to better clubs. It is not a part of football for some dickface to come in and spend 100 million euros on mediocre new players, then decide that the two most talented players in the squad don't fit "his characteristics" in the same way as Lucas Leiva and Diego Perotti.

Kondogbia isn't too young and inconsistent for 35 mill but Kovacic is? That 35 million also pales in comparison to what Kovacic will be worth in the future, not to mention Champions League revenues for the next few years because it should be very clear without him we have NO chance. And what are we spending that 35 million on? More mediocre players. In today's market 35 mill is peanuts for a player like Mateo; Romagnoli was sold for 30 mill, Sterling for 60 mill.

"I need to thank everyone, Inter’s fans, Inter Channel, the board and my team. I need to thank everyone. I don’t know what to say, I’m sorry but at the same time I’m happy, Real Madrid only comes for you once in a lifetime and for me they’ve come at such an early stage. But I need to thank everyone for the love I have received at Inter.
A special moment? When I signed, a team like Inter came to get me at such a young age. It has been two difficult years and seasons that haven’t been great. I will keep Inter in my heart, but I’m happy to join a team like Real Madrid. Stankovic and Modric? I will leave Deki. I’m sorry for everyone and the transfer came at the end of the mercato. I will reunite with Luka there and I hope I can perform greatly. Thank you all, I wish Inter will get a great championnship and a great start to the leage. A kiss or all of you, I love you."

Such a humble and caring human being. It seems he geniunely loved this club, and that comes rare nowadays. He is so much more than this catastrophely-managed club deserves, and I'm glad he got out when he did, not because he really wanted to, but because he was forced out. He'll go on to do great things, and will, if everything falls into place, be remembered as one of the greatest of all time. This is more than we, in our current situation, will ever hope to strive to dream to do do.
Which is not to mention his heart and passion, and the sweat, tears and blood he's shed for a club that never cared for him, and as soon as Thohir stepped in the door, saw him as a object for sale to the highest bidder.
I won't go off on a tangent about how now we'll be left with absolute mediocrity in all aspects of this club, and will probably never rise above it, but my heart is absolutely broken. This is the grim future that we're all likely looking at, and there is a high probability that Kovacic is the last time we'll see a geniune, world class football player in this club.


LGI I say, I don't even give a shit.

Kovacic to fans: "I thank everyone for the love and affection I’ve received over the years... A kiss to everyone, I love you all"

I'm gonna cry :'(

Sorry _OC_ I didn't see that you posted the whole interview first.

I wanted to expend my collection of Kova pics, but then this shit managment happened.
Goodbye my favorite player for 2 years. I have seen ups and downs of you but I always kept believing you would be our future, take care at a club where there are other players of your level. Their managment is less retarded though

I was hoping one day he becomes our captain, achieve great things and retire at Inter...

I am so sad. For our team and for our future and for Kovacic.

He says that Branca was much better and Ausilio can fuck off.

Holy Shit... I'm gonna cry now... like a bitch

He was the only player in our team where you wouldn't go "aah, fuck him", when considering selling him.

Take Icardi. If a €30m bid came in, I think I'd say "ah, fuck him.". Even Handanovic.. or our beloved captain. "You know what, fuck him. He is easily replaced by someone better".

But with Kovacic it was always "fuck no". The only player I've felt that way with since Eto'o and Sneijder (besides our legends, obviously).

Since last september, up until Mancini was hired, Mazzarri had him playing consistently. It was the rest of the team that Mazzarri couldnt get consistency out of.

LGI my arse. I love Kovacic, but people are seriously going overboard with this shit here. Get a grip, guys.

Like this friend of mine who called from Madrid yesterday to ask "Who the hell is this Kovacic?". I told him "He is a gifted kid who hasn't yet been able to become a regular starter for Inter". Unfortunately, that is the sad reality.

Yeah, lets make him LGI. Hell even Balotelli has a better claim to LGI than Kovacic.
