Matic set to rejoin Chelsea

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

He's a midfield beast

[BlueLion. 21,491]

So.. We've more/less paid £50m for Luiz?

Well, no. Because Matic was pretty darn average whenever he played for us. He barely got a look in while Josh and Kakuta played a fair amount instead. Shows how much Carlo rated him that he sent him off on loan after we'd just got rid of three CMs in Cole, Ballack and Deco in the summer of 2010.

How does this even make sense?

January transfer windows.....bargains are rare. Hopefully this will see an end to Lampard in the pivot.

Nope . It will see the end of Mikel though ,this is one manager who does know what he is doing ,it is all so very obvious and Mourinho was never going to be mugged and ultimatley sacked because of the oh so slow and useless Mikel ,dont hold your breath about Benfica taking Mikel off our hands though ,Matic was a better player than Mikel when he was last here and it is costing us millions to correct our mistake. Lampard,Matic,Ramires and Luiz will be our options in the pivot.

The Mikel deception is about to end .

we swapped Matic + €25 mil for Luiz, now we buy Matic back for aprox €25 mil = Luiz costs 50

I get that. Doesnt stop it from being stupid.

[HD3D 1,038]

Apparently fee is 35m euros

This makes me almost don't want him back anymore

The Portuguese media speaks of a 25m deal.

I read a valid tweet last night, "if Januzaj were a Chelsea player, he'd be at Vitesse." Why, after all those who've left, we haven't gotten our heads around the concept of a "buy-back clause" I'll never know.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Lol, what the hell. Not a fan of this deal.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Well, if you take it in the context of a joke, it does

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

This is as exciting as the Fernando Torres transfer back in 2011

It really is amazing how you one can blame every single thing on one person.

Matic couldn't even get a game ahead of fucking McEachran and your saying he was better than Mikel before we used him in the Luiz deal? Holy mother of fuck my eyes literally hurt reading that.

If its only €20 m then yeah I don't mind as much but shows what having a bit of faith in young players can do...

C'mon Ryan, this is Phil you're talking to, remember?

[Strike 6,961]

Yeah every cloud has a silver lining I suppose. But what would just be even more piss taking is Lampard is retained while Ramires is dropped because Jose is in love with Frank. That would just be the cherry on an awful cake.

All assumptions. Matic signing will surely mean Lampard's playing time is regulated and that will get the best out of him imo

[Blue Gino 377]

Getting Matic back after the Luiz move is a lot better than Zinedine Zidane saying you're idiots for letting Pogba go and he never returning. Only when the Special One is your manager is this possible. Thank you Jose.

[Spike 12,049]

Oh well. If it happens, it happens. People will have to just to accept it as fact. I'll support him 100% if he rejoins and I'll hope he proves everysingle one of the naysayers and doubters wrong.

Well that was my opinion and you of all people know that is usually right and has seen to be right once again.
