lucio 5,418 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Fresh from a 2-0 win against Porto, which gave Benfica the top of the standings and now that Lisbon has devoted to Eusebius, who recently passed away, coach Jorge Jesus spoke about the possible departure of Nemanja Matic, followed by Chelsea: "i can not answer, I just know that tomorrow will participate in the FIFA gala.'m here to play the best players, but on the issues of the market are always the last to know things. Every year we sell so many players, all in Portugal have to live with this. Matic If you leave, I will find other solutions. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If we are willing to spend that kind of money i prefer we spend it for Witsel.Is witsel up for sale? Do Zenit need money?If we are willing to spend that kind of money I prefer Pogba... Its these types of comments that make me wonder if people actually think FM14 is real.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't know why people are so worried about the FFP. We have tonnes of unimportant players we can get rid of to raise funds: KdB, Moses, Marin, Essien, Bertrand, Romeu, Ba, Mikel etc. Then there are youngsters like Piazon, Atsu, Wallace and Kalas we can sell if urgent. If something REALLY bad happens, we also have Courtoisand if something REALLY REALLY bad happens there will always be Roman's friends, the oligarchs (Rybolovlev, to name one), who will throw a bid just for the sake of it.

pWneR 230 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 According to RTS he will join us for 35 m EUROS http://www.rts.rs/page/sport/ci/story/31/ФÑдбал/1493452/ÐаÑиÑ+Ñ+ЧелÑиÑÑ+од+ÑÑоÑка!.html if this is true, would be just madness. report smells like it is bs. They also said that we bought Cavani for 60m, and we all know what happened. Usually they don't have their own sources and just do copy-paste(and even a false one), so I wouldn't trust them.

BlueSunshine 672 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is witsel up for sale? Do Zenit need money?If we are willing to spend that kind of money I prefer Pogba... Its these types of comments that make me wonder if people actually think FM14 is real.I haven't played FM not even once in my whole life, so your comment is a bit invalid. I don't know if Zenit needs money or not but 30-40m is a respectable amount and an offer that most teams would think about. Don't get me wrong, i am not against Matic. I like him (i didn't want him to leave in the first place) and he will be a huge upgrade to our current midfield situation but spending so much money for a player that we let go 3 years ago (practically) for peanuts seems wrong to me.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I can understand the people who look at Matic and say "but he's not the DLP we wanted", my favourite CM to partner Ramires was Gundogan and i said it a lot, I wanted this techniquel CM to give us some smart direction in the game. But to be honest im not worried, If Mourinho sees Matic as the right player to this midfield - the one to partner Ramires for the future, im sure he had his thinking. He might sees Matic as someone who could develop to a midfield player like Alonso in Real, thats the way i see it. He might want us to play different than Dortmund/Bayern/Barca.. thats ok too for me. We can play great football with our own system. Its always "as long as we win" for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 what I just found out: Matic will be at the Fifa Gala tomorrow (nominated for Fifa Puskas award). seems unlikely that he will fly in tomorrow to London, pass the medical and then immadiately fly to Zurich???

BlueSunshine 672 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Zenit bought Witsel for £40m why would they sell for less?First of all Zenit bought Witsel for 40m euros, not pounds. Zenit also spent something like 40m pounds to buy Hulk, do you believe they will sell him for more? Anyway this kind of conversation won't lead anywhere, this thread is about Matic anyway and i just stated my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 These are the same people who thought Fernandinho would be a terrible signing, Javi Martinez was overpriced and Arsenal didn't "need" Ozil. Matic will prove the doubters wrong fairly quickly if he comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Jorge Jesus on Matic: "If Matic is leaving? I would be the last to know. We've always sold players and we have to live with it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well this has escalated quickly...I swear yesterday there wasn't even any rumors about him and now the general consensus is that we've agreed with him? Matic would be a great signing because he would give Jose the dynamism that he's been seeking in the pivot while still being very good on the ball and an excellent passer unlike Ramires and Luiz. Ideally we should have made this signing in the summer, but if the quoted 20m price is correct then I don't think we're paying an inflated price for him at all. But I very much doubt it'll be done as soon as Tuesday like the rumors are claiming. It's still early in the window and the negotiations are likely to drag on.

BenIsLegend 475 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well this has escalated quickly...I swear yesterday there wasn't even any rumors about him and now the general consensus is that we've agreed with him? I remember when we signed Marin rumours appeared in the morning and it was announced by the afternoon. Recent transfer rumours that drag on in our case tend to not happen e.g. Falcao, Cavani, Hulk, Fellani (Phew) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Do you all watch the Portuguese League on a weekly basis? So many experts on the matter I'm inclined to believe it.I don't know the man well enough to give a valid opinion, I'll stick to what Mou thinks.
