Jype 6,398 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 How come Benfica haven't announced anything?Do they have a time limit before they have to post on the stock exchange? I thought even if a deal was being negotiated they had to say?Had a look at some of Benfica's previous transfer dealings on the stock exchange and there seems to be a pattern of them only announcing 'negotiations to have begun' earlier in the same day as the transfer already being done and dusted. For example in the Ramires deal they confirmed negotiations to have taken place on the 4th of August 2010 but later that day he was already officially a Chelsea player so I suppose they're free to hold as much unofficial negotiations as they want and only when a fee has been agreed by both sides they have to announce the beginning of the negotiations, and the official confirmation once the player has taken a medical and signed a contract at his new club.

Not anymore, check 2012. Witsel and Garcia just confirmation sell, no negotiation statements anymore. Think they have changed it now.

He's been here before, he has said in an interview he loves Chelsea. He just wants to prove to everyone that he is a much better player than the one who came to Benfica in Luiz deal.

ricardosr 38 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 But the benfica fans say he's better than witselHe is, but Zenit owners are crazy, they bought Danny for 30M€ from Dinamo Moskow a few years ago and he wasn't even one of the best 30 portuguese players at that time.

ricardosr 38 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 as if money is the reason why Matic is joining usMatic in London:The problem is that we are in January. We just beat Porto and we are on the top of the league and now one of our best players it's gone, he could refuse and wait for July.Teams like Chelsea, City, PSG, etc, have a lot of money to buy players in January and get stronger for the rest of the season, while teams that don't have a russian or a sheik loose players and get weaker for the rest of the season.At least he's going to my favourite league and not for russia.

Chelsea are still very much in the title race and by joining the club Matic will have a good chance of winning the Premier League title this year. If he waited till the summer, there would be a lot more midfield options available for Chelsea and he might not have this chance anymore so you should understand his reasoning for wanting a move now and not in the summer.It's got nothing to do with Russians or Sheikhs, it's got everything to do with the Portuguese league not being up to the standards of the Premier League and players as good as Matic will always want to test themselves at the highest possible level. The more lucrative contract offer obviously won't hurt but that's not why he's moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 thats nothing we bought Veron Sheva and Torres ,,,At least MU signed Fellaini and Anderson for more than 60m euros combined and City bought Garcia for 23m.
