zolayes 14,489 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Even worse we practically let him go for free as part of the Luiz deal. He'd literally walk into our starting XI now...Hopefully we've learned from that and will treat Ruben differently. Our problem is we don't seem to learn. Shevchenko then Torres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Talking about Matic, he scored not too long ago. Currently winning 3-0 and reading the Benfica news feed on twitter he has bossed the game completely. Irks me that we could of had a very good player on our hands here.The thing is that he would never have developed the same way here.He would have been loaned to vitesse then sold to hamburger.

lucio 5,418 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 really should of paid the extra 4m and kept what is now a world class central midfielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 really should of paid the extra 4m and kept what is now a world class central midfielderWhat makes you think that he would have become a good player had he stayed here? Where would he have gotten the match experience from?I'm happy we gave him to Benfica, had he stayed here he would have been an average player at Vitesse or Hamburg now.

Clevemayer 764 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I really liked him before he even signed for us but seriously a good second half of a season don't makes a worldclass player out of you... keep you're feet at the ground... lets see if he can stay like this for 2 seasons in a row...I would be the last one to complain about Matic and Modric in that midfield...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Many journalists have said Matic has been the stand out player in Portugal this year. I've seen him play for Benfica a few times like the game against Porto where he scored that peach of a goal. Hes looked like hes stepped into where Javi Garcia played last year really well and I wouldn't be surprised if hes goes to United based on all the positive news around him. Hes proved himself as a good player, if he goes to United and does really well I wouldn't be surprised. Hes exactly what they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 LOL. Now that will be a big "FUCK YOU" to the Chelsea board and management.. Which frankly speaking our board fully deserves,hopefully our board learns from these past mistakes and do not sell gems like KDB,lukaku,kalas and courtois to make room for shiny new players.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Like Ryan said, he's exactly what United need, which worries me a bit, tbh. Ironically, he could also be a good signing for us to play in the pivot, but I doubt he'd return here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloody 209 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Matic has agreement to move to Manchester United, according to Portuguese newspaperhttp://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/matic-has-agreement-to-move-to-manchester-united-according-to-porI hope that is not true. We should resign him a.s.a.p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,942 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Commentator said during the match that his latest contract now includes a €45m release clause.United ain't paying that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Completely bossed the midfield in the first half, though tbf, that's not a big achievement considering how bad Frank and Luiz were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Didn't even realise he was that huge when he was at Chelsea. The bloke is absolutely enormous, we could use a rock like him definitely. Pity he's very expensive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
