🇷🇸 Nemanja Matic

[El P. 1,354]

Selling our second most important midfielder with a month to go in the market, to our direct rival. Money isn't even important. And anyone who says he is not good enough - well, he might just be for United. They have two really mobile technically good players in Pogba and Herrera, Nemanja will add good tactical and defensive approach. Matić - Herrera - Pogba really sounds good and balanced.

It's wrong in any way I look it.

Fee is 40M with bonuses it could rise to 50M.

This will only be a good move if we can reinforce our midfield with the money. 

Which Im confident we will. 

Conte has complained too much about squad depth for us tk sell Matic without an adequate replacement lined up. 

I just want a Top Top CM brought in. Not a reclamation project in Renato Sanches. An eatablished CM capable of winning UCL matches.

That midfield is terrible. It's not balanced at all, it lacks a lot of creativity,tehnical ability. It will be kick and rush football.

Then I guess you are underrating Pogba and Herrera a bit. They are not Modrić and Isco, but are very good. Herrera got nice passes and decent touch, and no need to mention Pogba's ability. Another world compared to what we have.

[Special Juan 28,141]

There has to be already a done deal or nigh on something about to be sealed for us to be selling Matic.

The problem with that is, that a player like that, for that kinda money needs to know he's a guaranteed starter. With Kanté and £40m Bakayoko that'd be tricky, i imagine

[YorkshireBlue 3,277]

Matic will strengthen that man utd team beyond what ppl think, say what u want about matic but he's a Damn good player, all we are doing here is letting man utd put one hand on are Trophy before we have even kicked a ball.

If we loose Nemanja, we probably loose TheWiz too. That's a blow.

Huh? Pogba and Herrera are both excellent technically and Pogba is one of the most creative midfielders in Europe. Herrera is very tidy on the ball and does the simple things well.

This. We have Kante and Bakayoko who are going to be first choice. Fabregas will also want regular minutes to keep him happy that doesn't leave a whole lot of minutes left for our 4th choice midfielder.

But that's if we don't have any injuries like last season, where we were extremely fortunate. 

Also depends on how Conte will want to play. Remember his preferred formation was 4-2-4. We just didn't have the personnel to execute it.

WTF? Pogba has everything you want in a CM. Strength, technique, good range of passing and he will add goals. Ander is all round too and has a bit of all. There midfield has more creativity and technical ability than us if Fabregas is not in team.

Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if Pizy is right.

Chelsea are genuinely allergic to ballers, and players like Ross Barkley or Renato Sanches fall right into the criteria of "physical attributes first", everything else after.  

A Tolisso/Erikson type of player would be very ideal. One that is versatile and a baller.

Pogba has the talent but he was nowhere near as good last season and with players like Matic and Herrara it will get even worse for him. There midfield creativity is at the level of West Brom.

Pogba yes,Herrara no. The only thing Herrara does is making fouls constantly.

Fixed it for you. You can't possible thing that Renato Sanches biggest attribute is being physical.

What. Herrera is their best midfielder.

Matic will give them what Jose wants, an anchor and safety net for Pogba to go forward and Herrera can continue breaking up play/distributing.
