Luka better than Jedi?

How did De Boer think he would be better at centre back and not good enough for midfield? Then also drop him when he wasn't good at CB. There are times when a Manager does something frustrating that you can't quite understand like playing Kelly at left back but then there's gross negligence and even a fan could tell Luka is a great midfielder. FDB should never work again just for that.

Without question for me. I think Luka has been one of our finest signings ever, but we're comparing different players in different times. Jedi was immense in the situation we were in and was able to step up from the championship to the Premier league, which many players can't.
Optimistic as ever |

I credit Jedi with getting us promoted. Even more so than Zaha, Bolasie, Murray and the others. Just loved the guy and what he did for the team. But he couldn’t pass and Milo can. That is the big advantage Milo has. But this debate is like having to say whether you prefer your Mum or your Dad! I know what I prefer. Mile was top Championship quality masquerading as PL quality. He was immense for us and helped our cause no end. However the ability to pass the ball is paramount. Luka doesn’t have to be good in the air as he is so good on the ground.

I think he is more likely to go than Zaha. City will need a replacement for Fernandinho soon. If he starts well next year the rumours will commence

Comparisons are odious. Both are a bit special. These days Luka really shows his quality, a true leader

Worried that we will be fighting off bids for him in the summer. I think a fat git in Liverpool will come sniffing for him, he must rate him because he signed him for us

Both have their own qualities and when Jedi was on it you couldn’t ask for a better combative / enforcer midfielder and he served us well for many seasons. As for Milo he is growing into the position as Captain, but a very clever player who pops up everywhere on the pitch. He has been as instrumental in getting us out of the mess as Wilf, but this is only my view.... I suspect many fans subscribe to this view. Don't be shocked if he gets POTY.

Certainly technically a better player than Jedi. I think our best DM since Peter Nicholas. Of the two Nicholas had a better engine and more bite in the tackle, but then again Luka isn’t allowed to tackle as forcefully, is under a lot,lot more pressure when on the ball and still is a great passer, is great with a dead ball and a cool penalty taker.

Keep it quiet...... special player, good enough for any top six team in my view, better than Jedi IMO. He should be made captain permanently ahead of Sakho, he is a natural leader, makes few mistakes and is a very very good player.

Those that are worried about losing him should watch the 10+ minute interview with Luka on the eagles.cpfc site.
