I feel like Kovacic is making the worst possible career move. He's a talented young guy but like you said, he didn't even lock down a full time spot at Inter. I understand the allure of Real Madrid but I wish some of these guys would show restraint.
Yeah, maybe it's just my preference as a fan but it would be so much better to see him actually playing every match for a mid-tier side in Italy, Spain or Germany for a couple of seasons than just going to sit on a even more prestigious bench until 2017.

The allure of Madrid is obviously great, but I think it's more of a young guy seeing it as a challenge. They don't think of it as, "oh, I barely started at Inter, I'll never play at Madrid!"
They see it as an opportunity to prove their worth. RM obviously see something in him, it would be foolish of almost any player to turn down a chance to compete with the best.

I think it would be foolish of almost any young player to actually accept a chance to compete with the best. Because that's all they'll do. Fight for a spot they'll never get and waste the most crucial days of their career watching from the bench, or even worse, the stands.

Yep. I understand maximizing wages in sports, but what happens when he isn't playing and left out of Croatia's Euro squad?

Modric: "Kovacic will win the Ballon d'Or in two years" The Croatia midfielder was instrumental in the decision to sign Mateo Kovacic. Florentino Pérez asked his opinion after the Inter friendly last month.
quote:
Mateo Kovacic on Wednesday was confirmed as a Real Madrid player until 2021. The latest addition to the Bernabéu squad will join his Croatia teammate Luka Modric at the club after the midfielder urged Real to sign Kovacic from Inter Milan. Florentino Pérez admitted as much during a chat with reporters while his new signing performed a few tricks in front of a thousand or so fans on the pitch. Pérez stated that the club had been on the 21-year-old's trail for some time and had been piling up a dossier of glowing reports for some time, but it was during the friendly match against Inter in Guanzhou last month that finally persuaded the board Kovacic was a player the club had to sign. After the Inter match, Pérez approached Modric to ask his opinion of his international teammate and received the reply: "Presi, he'll be the Ballon d'Or winner in two years." From there, Madrid started the process of capturing Kovacic's signature. The result was confirmed on Wednesday just after 1pm in the VIP box at the Bernabéu, where Pérez pointed to Modric as an example of what was expected from his new acquisition: "This is now your home. This club will be by your side and the fans will support you to the end if you give everything for this crest, as your international teammate Modric has done."

Tottenham are weighing up a move for Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama.
The Kenya international worked under Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino at St Mary's and the Argentine is looking to add some steel to his side.
Wanyama is viewed by Pochettino as a player who can protect his defence with Tottenham needing a defensive midfielder.

Don't care, spend whatever it takes. Not taking money from my wallet.
I'm still butthurt that Boateng flopped here.
ETA: That Demichelis fee was a steal.

Honestly at this point I won't believe anything with De Gea other than Madrid is going to wait it out and get him on a free in a year.
I'd be a little surprised if Mayoral moves....I think he may be named to the 1st team some this year. Also, I think he is instrumental to Castilla's push for promotion.....and subsequently any chance Zidane has to coach the 1st team anytime soon.
