And rightly so. Who in his healthy Mind would sit on the Bench, after being one of the Cornerstones of a Team, that won 2 EPL Titles - Fore an EPL unproven Player, who comes from a weaker League (Bakayoko I am talking). Like where is the Sense? I really try to understand you Guys ... I try hard to count 2+2 but it's never 5 ... It's always 4. Without Matic Chelsea winning the EPL will drop by 10%. If things go as planned with Bakayoko, he will improve us back by 3-4%. If things go as planned. And thats a big if. Because if Things go south, we could end up not just losing the EPL Title, but go down completely and miss out on Champions League Positions.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Honestly think it would be a huge mistake to sell him to United and to have him replaced by such an average player like Bakayoko. He is less superior to Matic, fair enough hes younger and had a good season but hes not as talented as the likes of Mendy, Bernando Silva at Monaco and shouldn't be considered as a starter if he comes here in my eyes. Also imagine if United manage to piece Matic, Herrere and Pogba together in their midfield... I really think we should be looking for a player more like Ander Herrera than Bakayoko in all fairness.

TheWiz 109 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Chelsea are hoping to tie Nemanja Matic down to a new contract, despite the midfielder being keen on a move to Manchester United this summer, according to reports in the British media. The Daily Mail is reporting that the Serbia midfielder is “keen” on a move to Old Trafford to link up with former manager Jose Mourinho this summer but the Blues are hoping he will sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge. That is in spite of claims that Chelsea are still hoping to complete the signing of Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko, who would add further competition in midfield for Matic. Matic has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer after he was used in a midfield rotation system along with Cesc Fabregas by Antonio Conte last season. The Serbia international was a regular fixture in the Chelsea team under Mourinho as the Portuguese coach led the Blues to a Premier League and League Cup double in the 2014-15 season. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be able to convince Matic to pen a new contract as the Blues continue to be linked with other players in his position.

Tautvix 1,321 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Even if we buy Bakayoko there's no reason to sell Matic I think. Don't forget we will have a lot of games next season. But if we decide to sell him, just don't sell to Man Utd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a natural Playmaker with really good Defensive Assets, who is able to build the Game out of Defense ore out of neutral Situations. That Pass out of a tight Situation, surrounded by 3 Player ... Are you kidding me? All the Blame goes to Hazard, not being able to score being practically Heads Up with the Goalkeeper ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude...We all accept that Matic is an ok player, but you talk of him like he is some creative mastermind. 7 assists is like his best ever offensive output and it is still a tiny number but about the best such an average player can achieve no matter his midfield role. Not even half as much as Matic and still produced 5 assists more in the league. if you really think that Conte will maintain Matic as a starter once we got Bakayoko you are the one in for a surprise. If Matic would do his job defensively we would not even need Bakayoko. Those 7 assists and 27 chances Forget about those tiny numbers. In his 347 pro games, he only produced 22 goals and 26 assists.

You are talking about him, as if he plays Japanese Football League Level ... while in Fact he is one of the Cornerstones of a Team, that won the EPL twice under two differenct Coaches. As fore the Rest, you said - You are correct. But not perfectly so.

How is he supposed to unleash his offensive Assets if our Manager chains him to a sole DM Role with overwhelming Defensive Duties? He isn't. And although he isn't he still managed to produce ... 7 Assists 21 Chances 1600 Successful Passes ... with an Acccuracy of 88% ... and 77% Forward Passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozens of midfielders in the top leagues produce these kind of numbers. So 347 games under various managers and none has got your idea that he is a "creative mastermind". Tell me, why are you the only person in the world who sees Matic as a creative player? Why has no manager ever assigned him offensive duties? I will tell you, because he underwhelming at it. He has an average technique, cant use his right foot to save his life, has no balance and sucks at finishing. According to transfermarkt, Matic started 29 games in a more advanced position and contributed a whopping 3 goals 5 assists. So when you play him more adavanced you obviously get the same modest output you get when you play him anywhere else. Which is why no one has ever tried to give him more offensive duties again. There are so many players better at that. Last Sicarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ore maybe Conte does, but doesn't want him to play that Role fore whatever Reason. Noone saw anything Special in Matic when he was playing fore Benfica. And People scratched their Heads, when Mou brought him to Chelsea. Everybody was askin what is going on here? But Mou was the only one seeing thorugh it. And one Season later we were Champions. And no, how can anybody with such a soft Touch and the Ability to nonchalantly get past 2,3 ore even 4 Player ever have a average Technique? Many Players have their second Foot just to keep Balance. That's not heartbreaking News really. He sucks at finishing? What's with Kante then? He must be the worst Finisher in the History by your Standards. As fore Transfermarkt, I don't think they see clearly through it. But there is no doubt that playing Matic in a more offensive Role with some added defensive Duties, as a Link between AMs and DMs .. The Team would improve heavily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me, why are you the only person in the world who sees Matic as a creative player? He is not the only one — me too, I have seen the epiphany. It is like in Dragon Ball Z, where San Goku is so fast and so strong, that when he fights against opponents that are on par with him, all of his friends cannot see what is happening as it is too quick for their eyes. This is the same for Matic. What he does is so quick, so subtle and so refined that nearly nobody can appreciate what he is doing on the pitch, aside of a few connoisseurs. Actually you should search for that interview of Pep Guardiola, where he talks in depth about his team at Barcelonna. He explains that he was desperate to sign the Serbian genius, but unfortunatly, could not. As a consequence, he was left with no other choices than to allocate Matic's role between his three midfielders (Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets). And while everyone consider this midfield-three to be one of the best midfield in history, Guardiola stresses very intensively, in his interview, that he was still not satisfied as he had to use three players (Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets) to do the job which could have been done by only one (Matic). He even admitted that he and del Bosque had a secret plan to try and fashion Sergio Busquets into the same mold as Matic — needless to say, it did failed. Ancelotti too, has had a lot of nice words towards our Serbian Marshal. Just the other day, when he was discussing his failure here at Chelsea, he told the reporter that it was undoubtedly due to the critical mistake of having sold Matic to Benfica. To have lost Matic was what made the difference between a winning team scoring 103 goals and a team that painfully finished second ex-æquo. As for Mourinho, well, after we won the League he made the mistake to give the creative duty to Hazard — and it backfired greatly as we fell one point above the relegation zone. I hope Conte does not make the same mistake and that he is able to see the crucial importance — and no words strong enough do exist to emphasize enough the importance — that Matic represents for the team.

I'm taking the piss no more and no less than People, who admire the likes of overrated Players like Zidane an Ballack ore great Players like Messi, LeTiss and Maradona. That is just ludicrous putting Le Tissier in the same bracket as Messi and Maradona. Le Tissier was a gifted player who liked being the big fish in a small pond at Southampton. The only team who were interested in signing him were Chelsea and that would have been a sideways move as we were mid table fodder then. He never made it into the England team under the likes of Hoddle and Venables who you would have thought would have been exactly their type of player.
