bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Why the fucking hell are we still banging on about Matic. He's gone, he's a ManUre player and good fucking riddance. For christ sake close this thread and let's talk about players that want to play for us. Johnnyeye and Leif 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never heard that nonsense during Fergie's era now players and fans won't shut up about how "huge"  they are.  They are officially like Liverpool. Exactly. It's an argument for losers to obsess about. United are indeed huge. The biggest of them all maybe but take a look above Ossie's statue at The Bridge over the next nine months. What's written there are the words winners obsess about. Home of The Champions. United can be as big as they like, we wear the crown.

Tautvix 1,321 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So guys who defended Matic's selling... Was selling Matic for £40M and replacing him with £35M Drinkwater was a good business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseawise 115 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I am sick and tired of everyone going on and on about selling Matic to Utd. Especially the press and pundits. I personally think there was nothing wrong with the transfer. We got what we wanted in value and I believe Bakayako is by far a better prospect for years to come. From what I recall he was trolled on this forum after many many inconsistent performances. Many wanted him dropped in favour of Fabregas. Must admit he did have some cracking performances but he was never consistent with awful passing ability,. I believe we have done excellent in this transfer window contrary to what the majority of press and many on this forum. After the burnley Blip we are back in business andI can see another 13+ games unbeaten run on the Horizon. Just a bit concerned about Roma and Athletico in CL, although I am optimistic we will come through finishing second wit 11 points kiwi1691 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I don't read too much what the pundits and press say, I am very surprised how many on this forum think that selling him was the biggest mistake.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The press is doing what it does: selling news and United has more fans, local and abroad. It's just natural Matic is getting more attention now than when at Chelsea. Speak for myself of course as I never wanted Fabregas to replace Matic in the starting XI... Let me put it this way: Baka and Drinkwarer still have to produce several!! MotM performances, in pretty tough away matches too, to properly replace matic in my book. Yes, Matic had bad patches and a bad season, just like Hazard. It happens esp when players overextend themselves as they did in Jose's winning season. Now he already has MotM performances for United (well at least one), which is totally unsurprising to me. Perhaps he's just a very good player?  Essien19 and TheWiz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to dominate decent to good opposition, the 2 CM's have to be Bakayoko and Kante. Either bring Fabregas off the bench or play him slightly higher up the pitch where his lack of defensive ability can be covered up..

Miki-Liki 405 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 He's a donkey who gets exposed under the slightest pressure to and he got carried to two titles.

Â His first title with Chelsea he was a bonafide starter, and last year he played enough to have had a pretty significant helping hand in us winning it. Â If he wins it this year with United, after playing at the current level he has been playing these pas few games, then I don't think anybody can take that away from him. He is a proven entity in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite logical that he will seem better in a team which is supposed to be in control most of the time. I seriously hope your joking. He's been one of the standout CM in the PL so far for me and it's no surprise United are sitting joint at the top of the league now that they've added that balance to their team. He's pretty fucking excellent for a donkey. Okay sure Baka has age on his side being younger than him but they aren't exactly the same player and for me, he would of been a better option than Danny Drinkwater. Like mentioned above he's proven in the PL and if he wasn't 29 and was a bit younger, people would be annoyed with the decision the club made even more than they are now because it was widely reported that Conte wanted to keep Nemanja (despite what people were made to believe). We didn't need to sell, we turned down a fortune for Diego Costa in January so it isn't like we were struggling for 40M. Just baffles me.

Beigl 1,387 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Quote I think it's starting to become clear his ability isn't so 'Oh my lord why did Chelsea sell him to us he's gonna win us the league and everything else'. A good player, but he has some very evident flaws. Not 100% buying into this whole 'he's tired' thing either. Quote Relentlessly kills any kind of tempo. I know it’s not his job and all but since he is a footballer who have gotten a lot of early season praise, it’s worth noting the limitations. Quote It's not his first poor game though, was barely in the game vs Liverpool. Like I say, i think many (myself included) have jumped the gun on his ability. Seems like people on redcafe realise that they didn´t sign prime Zidane after all.
