NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 tbh I don't remember much of him.#6 is the same position as Rami? In Brazil #6 is the left fb and I always mix #6 and #8 in Europe. In Brazil #5 is the most defensive guy in the pivot (DM) and #8 is the less defensive (CM or MD). I suppose the #8 is the same and in Europe you call the DM #6?I'll trust you guys saying this is a good signing. We need to improve our pivot asap and Guarin isn't the answer to that. He's not a proper midfielder imo, almost like an AM.In Europe: 2 4 5 3 6 87 10 11 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I guess our "6" is your "5"I don't like Guarin, in Porto he wasn't even regular in the start 11 and Porto supporters did not liked him.I'm suprised to see him linked with Chelsea, and he don't play in the same position as Matic.Matic play as a DMF and Guarin as a CMD, at least it was his position in Porto but i don't follow Inter a lot.thanks you put it better than me. I think Guarin is more like Lampard style, which is a proper midfielder, but more attacking, and not really the guy to do both, defend and transition and sometimes go forward.Thanks for the #6 explanation. I think we need a DM that knows how to play as Mourinho would say, the kind of guy that can pick not a pass, but passes, most of them.

Pizy 18,907 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The lack of Matic at Heathrow pics is disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I haven't seen this guy play (beside the games against Chelsea) and because of that I know close to nothing about his skills, but I really hope he is as good as people say he is (I read a lot of positive things about him). It doesn't take much to improve our pivot so I guess i'll cross my fingers for this deal to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teignman 441 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Another thing, we don't have financial problems. We have the same financial problemsYour credibility on this subject looks tenuous at best. So you know more about Benfica than me?I wouldn't have thought so from the outset, but in a financial sense, it's looking increasingly likely. You are right my club is not receiving the total transfer fee from these players, but we receive some money that you are not thinking about. I'll give an example. We sold 25% of David Luiz for 4.5M€. When Chelsea bought him (25M€), we only received 18.75M€, but since we sold that 25% for 4.5M€ to total value was 23.25M€ that's not far from 25M€.I did take into account the money that your club receives up front from TPO's, such as the Benfica Stars Fund. Also, I noticed you failed to mention the transfers where Benfica fared far worse (the Di Maria, Coentrao, or the Ramires transfer,where Benfica received only 20% of the transfer fee) when citing an example. Changing subject, I heard that Chelsea as an option to buy Markovic for 15M€, i hope that in this negotiations about Matic we do something to delete that option because we can sell him for much more than that in the future.I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this was bandied about during the negotiations for Matic.

Might have to wait a couple of days before we get anything offical tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well put it this way, if absolutely nothing new happens tomorrow, like Portugese media and Serbian media claimed, we will know that people jumped the gun. Still think it is likely to happen, I just don't think it will have all been done by tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So interviews, pictures etc. etc. before we get any announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Matic obviously knows something or he would have said straight up he didnt know or hear anything. I just dont think it will be done by tomorrow. Hopefully Im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
