lucio 5,418 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nemanja Matiฤ to Chelsea is a done deal and he will join the squad on Tuesday, according to Serbian broadcaster RTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 And there in lies the problem. Luiz isn't a midfielder and is terrible playing that position. a couple of long range goals and 1 successful forward/hollywood passes out of 10 attempted per game doesn't change a thing. And I won't even get into his positioning and discipline in that role. recruiting a top class CM or two is a MUST.What the fuck have you been smoking?

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Which would still leave us short of a regista/ DLP in midfield and that was the whole point all along.The question you need to ask yourself is will Matic improve the club? This ridiculous obsession with FM14 and rigista's/DLP is nauseating teams don't sell players like that and if they do its for a hefty fee. Those types of moves are pulled off in the summer if they are at all.Matic is a very good player who will provide us with solidity in the midfield and allow us to break up play and get into attacking areas quickly.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't like the fact that whenever i hear the name nemanja i think Vidic.So if he could change his first name that would be great.You have my vote for the dumbest post this month.

Don;t just jump into a debate if you have no clue what it's about and ease up on the patronizing football manager comment. The argument started when I agreed with laura90 that we would require more than Matic to significantly improve our midfield and elevate it to the highest standard in the long term and that Ramires needs to be replaced as a starter along the way because he's not good enough despite his tactical strenghts. No one is complaining or disputing Matic's acquisition. I don't know what you are on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you are miles away with your view that Ramires needs to be replaced , a definite "in my opinion" should be added because you must know Mourinho is a fan of Ramires and there is no way he can be replaced if we want to remain a side with balance going forward ,Matic ,Ramires ,Willian,Oscar,Hazard give us great balance. You say "needs to be replaced" as if it is only a matter of time when it is not . The player who will be replaced is the ultimate definition of a donkey Mikel and Matic will be doing just that.

No one is complaining or disputing Matic's acquisition. I don't know what you are on about.I read that stuff the debate moved as most do. Can you name me one available "Regista"? I don't think we need a DLP, I think we have enough with our attackers to win a lot of big games. What we are lacking, IMHO, is a guy who can provide us with solidity in the midfield and also move the ball to our creative players. I've been saying this forever... And if we get Matic that will go a long way to addressing that. Pressing with Ramires and Matic will provide us with more recovered balls and will also free up Lamps or Ramires to get forward to create overloads. If we can do that effectively the DLP role is less a need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,393 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Chelsea are prepared to pay ยฃ21 million to bring Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic back to the club during the January transfer window according to Telegraph.Mourinho is considering Matic as one of the players to strenghten Chelsea's midfield, following Kevn De Bruyne and Micheal Essien's imminent departure.25 year old Matic left Chelsea in January 2011 as a makeweight in the ยฃ25 million deal for David Luiz from Benfica, when Carlo Ancelotti was Chelsea manager.He has long been linked with a return to the club, but Telegraph insists an approach is imminent.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I want Matic for the same reason I wanted Pogba. Granted Paul is nicer on the ball but Matic provides us with pace, power and solid workrate. He runs all game and has excellent awareness... This will DEF make us a more formidable side.

Korea 734 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Question, is Matic and Rambo going to be rotated with each other?? Reading the comments, it seems they are both similar players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
