Having the exact same genetics doesn't mean becoming the same person. We see this with twins who can become very different persons over the years, because some genes "activate" or not in reaction to a specific social environment.To clone Matic or Mourinho in order to have exact same player/manager, it would be extremely difficult because it would mean having to monitor the environment of the clones during their whole lives so that it is the exact same environment in which the original Matic and Mourinho grew up. It's very possible that a cloned Matic wouldn't be interested in football at all for example.Yes, because THAT is the only realistic issue with cloning Matic!

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That's why some of us think we need to buy Pogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkibou 622 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That's why some of us think we need to buy Pogba.I don't get why, Pogba and Matic are two completely different players. Pogba is light-years away from Matic's defensive awareness and positioning. But the french is way better at dribbling and finishing than the serbian. In Mourinho's current system, I think Pogba would do good if he had the role of Fabregas or Oscar. Not Matic. I think one of the best buy Chelsea could do next summer to have a proper substitution for Matic is Lille's current best player : Idrissa Gana Gueye. He has all the same qualities as Matic and same style of play. He's not at Matic's level yet of course, but could be if he went to a club like Chelsea to further his development. Unlike Pogba, he would have no problem being a substitute at first, he's very professionnal, and humble. And it's a bargain, being at Lille he is waaaaayy underrated at the moment, you could have him for less than 10 million pounds, and trust me, he would be worth every penny. I reckon in a few years he will be worth 30m. pHaRaOn, bababoom and BlueLyon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is underrated as hell.Pogba is not DM at all. He is b2b at best but even then he doesnt like to defend much. Its not that he cant, but he doesnt like it. He is more a AM than DM but with giant body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWiz 109 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 No Midfielder in Europe nearly as complete as Matic. Maybe if we could weld together Mascherano and Pogba we could get something Matic-Like.But even then we would still lack his Vision and Nonchalance.

Rom2013 446 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Pogba can play as a DM without any problem like Toure did it perfectly in Barcelona (and TOure is also a box--box). Yaya and Pogba are superstars, the perfect midielders. Matic doesn't have that quality,Pogba would play as a DM to rotate Matic, and mostly in the number 8 position with Fabregas as a number 10. But Pogba is so perfect that he can play in any position. Its like Messi, Cristiano, Toure, Suarez... you can put Cristiano in the left, iun number 10, in the right or as a ST he will be the best. The same for Pogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba would replace Oscar, if anything. But we're not getting him either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Pogba can play in the DM position if necessary without any problem.. and a team that plays 60 games every season need to rotate players and one of the obvious rotations would be Matic with Pogba.I said Pogba is better and more complete than Matic, Pogba is like Toure. Matic doesn't have that quality... Matic is better in the DM but Pogba is increadible in any position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is your opinion ,, BUT Matic is here and performed on a cold wet night in Stoke ,, so that will do fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm surprised you even know his name, that's how underrated he is ! Great to see that some people know him How do you know him ? You watch Lille's games ?Ive been watching lille regulary in Eden days. After he joined us, I stopped for awhile but started watching them again back then when we were in need of DM, and initialy I though Mavuba would be good choice, but as soon as I started watching them again, another DM caught my eye; Gueye. He was actualy better than Mavuba and younger. After we signed Matic, I knew we wont go for another DM for some time, but I still watch lille here and there; most notably europa league games or their derbies vs lyon, psg, marseille. I was looking forward how will he cut against everton and he did well at home, but away whole lille team fell apart and he couldnt do much. Only thing he may have problems with is his size. He is realy small, strong though, but pl is another beast. But I think he would surprise a few if he ever joined us.We did realy well with buys from ligue 1, like Drogba, Essien, hazard, even Malouda. Unfortunely there isnt many quality players there anymore, but I always keep an eye for potential players that might be good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We will soon be running out of superlatives to describe how great of a player he is. Such a dominant force in front of the back four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,331 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Him and Fabregas are the hearth of this Chelsea team. Love the guy !Heart ? Tremendous player. If we win the league this year so much will be owed to this bloke. Doesnt possess the guile and goal scoring ability of Lampard, but makes up for it with sheer physicality and mazy runs.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Matic is the best player in the Premier League at the minute, no debate. I do believe there's a NSFW disclaimer missing there kellzfresh and LAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Improving with every game, taking more responsibility to a point where he's the battery in the team, without him we don't tick. Fabregas does ever so well in this partnership too, really evident today them two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
