Strange to see it will using video conference to talk about such important transfer. Why not sending one or two representative for that. London not that far from Turin. For the sake of efficiency?

I have no idea but, if true, then we can be sure there is a sensible reason for it.

If we sell we must replace, dead simple.

Not only replace buy buy 2x over. 

The problem this squad had was a lack of quality AND depth. With this sell to buy policy, we're still in the same boat. 

We already needed 1 more CM had Matic stayed, now this means we need 2 more. 

As well as 1 more RW/ST. 

And 2 More Wingbacks.

I would be happy to sell for 50mil, if we could use that money to get one of: Ousama Dembele, Naby Keita, Fabinho, Nainggolan, Verratti, Isco

Ideal scenario to me: Sell Matic to United, and still get Sandro.  If Matic really is being used in an exchange of sorts (i doubt this to be honest), then that is great too.  We should prioritize getting Sandro, so if matic helps then do it.  

If Sandro isn't coming in return, I would rather Matic go to Man U.  They get a super average player, and we get a decent chunk of money.  Most importantly, it stops United from getting a better, more dynamic CM.  I think they will buy a CM one way or another, so them getting an average one would be brilliant.

Ideally I would have kept Chalobah and brought in an experienced senior squad member to be the default stand-in to Kante-Baka-Cesc with Chalobah providing extra depth. 5 options gives us comfortable depth when playing with 3 CMs, 4 will leave us short. But I completely understand his decision to go, the guy needs to play. I guess it's time we start seriously thinking about Matic's replacement, any thoughts?

Can see Lewis Baker given a  role hope he rolls with it. Corentin Tolisso at £35 mill would have been good business

In a way i hope the Neymar transfer soesn't happen because if it does, Ousmane Dembele would be on the first plane to Barcelona. 

Chelsea have to go ALL Out on Nainggolan, or another CM that fits the profile of Tolisso. Cannot sign another defensive minded CM. A true box-to-box CM who shines in the final third. 

A young prospect I'm a huge fan of is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio. Guy has the tools to be any CM he wants to be, and after missing out on Tolisso, he'd be good shout. 

But I trust Conte's eyes for Midfielders, so really hoping Matic leaves so we can bring in a different CM.

James Rodriguez on loan would top that anyday

Those two deals hurt the most. Really wanted either one in Chelsea blue yet both end up at Bayern.

That's just not fair. 

Fuck Bayern Munich man.

Roman Abramovich clears path for Nemanja Matic to join Manchester United but Chelsea will slap 'Lukaku tax' on any transfer fee

As a am  4 sure not cm/dm ie Matic position

[Pizy 18,368]

Don't like it one bit but £50m would be daylight robbery.

[lucashm 340]

Matic is painfully average, if we sell him for United for 50M, Marina deserves a statue outside Stamford Bridge lol

Got to love the board at times. If they manage to get £50m for him, it would be hilarious.

[Jase 43,479]

The board upping the pressure on Juventus by spreading the United interest?

[Special Juan 27,424]

Keep adding that Lukaku tax
