I'd take him on a free definitely. There will be no shortage of takers at that price......!! Have a word KDB
Cannot see us letting both Gundo and Bernie go without suitable replacements

If that does happen then it all but confirms Gundo and/or Bern is leaving. Not really an upgrade or even a decent replacement if so.

I can’t see gundo going after the last half of the season performances, looks like a player that wants to stay, club captain too
Bernie wants to stay but apparently it’s not his decision…!

I concur, some thought his interview after winning the league smacked of goodbye. On the contrary i read it as a Captains speech. I seriously hope and doubt he is going anywhere.

Bernardo again has been such an integral part of what is rapidly turning into a legendary group of players. Surely his girlfriend can see and understand he won't achieve better elsewhere and that in another 4 years or so he will be in a position to move somewhere for his twilight years in La Liga. Can somebody get David Silva on the blower to him!!!

I would prefer Gundogan and Bernardo to stay but if replacements are needed ( or a thickening of the squad in midfield) Kovacic is a much better player than some seem to think. Pep certainly rates him or we wouldn’t be talking to him. He’s available not because he’s a bad player but because Chelsea have a bloated squad. He seems very open to coming. I’d be surprised if he isn’t Txiki’s first signing of the window. He won’t be the last. Presumably we won’t know about Gundogan ( who must wonder about the financial stability of Barca) and Bernardo ( PSG a more serious threat to keeping him because they’ve got the money). I don’t suppose we’ll know more about the two them till after the CL final.

Kovacic seems likely from what the experts are saying anyway.
I don't really see him as being ample replacement for Gundo or Bern, maybe I am missing something.

You probably wouldn't have said John Stones at CM either.

We don’t know why he’s being bought. He’d be a higher class back up for Rodri at DM than Phillips imo. He can also play further forward. Excellent in tight spaces, keeps the ball really well.

bit concerned about the size of some of these hot twitter targets - Kovacic, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Enciso - they wouldn't see much from the Kippax :(

Kovacic has had done well v us. He is a classy player. Upgrade on Gundo and Bernie No. I just would not let these boys go It weakens us and both get crucial goals.

Benzema leaving Real Madrid for the big Saudi bucks. At his age makes sense. Who needs a top striker? Real, Bayern, United, Chelsea that’s who. Thank goodness we don’t.

That's ok. Haaland is going to Madrid because he is unhappy here.
Or that was what the media was saying.
