we are very close to imbula. im guessing when we have his signature kova will be gone.
Kovacic: I am happy in Italy
Mateo Kovacic’s future is anything but certain. The Croatian talent has been heavily linked with Liverpool in recent weeks, and many reports suggest that a deal has already been struck. However, after Croatia’s match against Italy, Tuttosport interviewed Kovacic, and just released what the midfielder had to say about his future:
“I am currently happy in Italy, and we will see what will happen. Right now, all I am thinking about is my holiday. All I know is that I will be returning to Appiano Gentile on July 5. I have not heard anything different from the club. We do not have to talk because I recently renewed my contract. I do not expect any negotiations, but you never know what can happen in the mercato. I have not spoken to Rakitic about the Champions League Final, but I have heard about what it means to win it from Modric and Mandzukic. Every player dreams of playing in the Champions League and winning it. I do as well.”

the kid is happy and willing to stay. some people in the club want him out :ass:

If we sell him I want Firmino or some other classy player but we will probably get Motta and Melo and Zuka and every other mediocre fucker we can get...and that's what is wrong with Inter.
Quantity over quality...
I hope they don't do it but...
:chan:don't fucking sell kova, he is the type of player that comes once every 100 years, what the fuck is wrong with inter managment !
:chan:
Sometimes we get so excited by the prospect of Inter developing a talented young player, that we forget the reason why we are developing the player. We are not a Palermo or an Udinese who are largely in the business of developing players for profit. We are doing so to win. If the coach does not think a player fits into his system, then we need to give him players who do.
The talk in journalistic circles is that Mancini has little faith in Kova as an AM. And Mancini has no place for a regista. It is alleged that the reason why Kova got so many starts near the end of the season was to improve his potential transfer fee. If this is true, then I can understand why Thohir will sell Kova, even if we get a few million less than what we expected. Because if we don't, Kova is going to see a lot of bench time next season, and his market value will drop very steeply. We have seen that happen often at Inter.
No one is doubting Kova's potential, its just that he is very unlikely to achieve that potential at Inter. Its better to sell him when people view him as a potential on the rise, than to sell him as a talented player who failed to get minutes. And selling a talented kid is not always a bad move - remember Balotelli?
