BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hes been here for just half season and adopted brilliantly. Will look forward when he gets proper CM to play next to him, exciting times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Read somewhere that Chelsea should build around him. What do you think?I dunno, its difficult to build around a holding midfielder. I don't think Jose is going to try to build around anybody but if he is then Eden is the obvious choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Read somewhere that Chelsea should build around him. What do you think?I don't think Chelsea should build around any one player. Matic should be seen as a very important player though as he clearly got the quality.

Thendo 1,088 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Anyone else feel that he could be captain material in a couple of years? I mean he ticks most of the boxes; he seems very mature and professional in interviews and speaks english perfectly well. He is also a regular starter coming into his prime years and have already been at the club a couple of years. We'll have JT for atleast another year or so, but I belive Matic is the best choice when JT inevitably retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Mario 638 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 almost the whole package. No shit, he even can dribble past 2-3 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Read somewhere that Chelsea should build around him. What do you think?He'll be part of the new spine rather than having the team built around him, along with Hazard, Oscar, Courtois and Costa (and the defence).

Jype 6,398 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 what about Pjanic next to him?Just signed a contract extension at Roma a couple of weeks ago and is happy to stay now that they're in the CL next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama 1,992 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Not signing a very good central midfielder next to Matic will be like a time bomb that will undo our chances next season! I pray it doesnt happen...but if it does I have a premonition that this excellent player called Matic will have 2put out d effort meant 4two 2playerz alone...Ramires iz only effective 4tactical situations...for a club like ours that wants to combine pressing possession and counter attacking style of play next season...we do need a fucking good central midfielder next to Matic next season...games are won or lost in centre of the pitch! a fairly matured player capable of spraying long aerial passes has good technical attributes capable of supporting attack and complement matic in defensive positions so that Hazard and Oscar would be relieved of some defensive responsibilities is a must next to matic...sadly MVG lost many part of the season due to injury...i c such calibre in him...Witsel/Vidal/Gundogan(injured) and Paulinho are my likely candidates depending on Paulinho's form in WC.

Thendo 1,088 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Doesn't strike me as a leader on the pitch TBH.I can see where your coming from, but I think its hard to judge him on that factor after just being with us for a couple of months. But imo he's one of the better candidates for it in a year or two. Hopefully he will step up when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great player. By far our best acquisition last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think next season we should try a system with two strikers, preferably Costa and Lukaku. The whole league seems to built around the 4-2-3-1 formation, or the 4-5-1, and maybe we could add more of a threat with both a Drogba-like player as Costa and the paceful/sharp finisher of someone like Lukaku (which i think is the kind of player he is, his dribbling skills isn't grand but his power and pace would surely add to that kind of role). We still use the idea of two wingers and a attacking midfeilder (or the '10' role) but it puts more pressure in the defensive midfielder role - and that, at the moment, is seemingly on the shoulders of Matic! I don't think so. Mourinho basically pioneered the original 4-3-3 with one striker in england and I think he's played like that in every club he's managed. The chance of us playing with two central strikers is very slim, I can't see Mourinho deviating from that. Though I would love to see us try it, preferably against smaller teams, it feels wasteful playing two deep midfielders against roll-overs.

So, .1% chance he uses 2 strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Matic should be considered for next captain or vice... Thendo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
