Nemanja Matic

[Superblue 6,372]

If Alex Sandro is pretty much dead in the water, would it be worth taking a punt and negotiating Luke Shaw as part of any deal for Matic?

A risky transfer given the last 18 months of his career (you only have to look at Jack Wilshere to see how injuries can ruin a player) but the potential upside would be huge.

Please no that guy stays more time recovering from injuries than playing. Besides that don't want to take a headache away from United. Either Martial involved or full money.

If he is wanted by Juventus, we should demand he is included in any deal for Alex Sandro and that only. If not keep him, he is still a very good player I think and his contribution last season was largely overlooked due to his partner in crime receiving all the plaudits. Do not sell him to Manchester United because it gives them a very complete midfield I feel, a very nice blend of power, energy and creativity. I don't see why people are urging we sell him to United??? 40M is a good fee but who is going to replace him if he goes realistically? I think we will only gain something if he is included in the deal for Alex Sandro.

completely agree with this, only deal  with the italians if Sandro is included in the deal, we need to play hard ball too, dont let him anywhere near the mancs, keep him around because he can still do a great job if needed and minding injuries during the season we need all the depth available.

Money is too good to turn down, no matter the destination. I wouldn't mind a new midfielder who puts in numbers in attack. I hear Renato Sanches is available. Gem of a player, and would cost less than what we would reportedly get from Matic's sale. Unless the club is just looking to balance the books to avoid FFP sanctions.

People keep telling me Sanches is an outstanding player but I haven't seen it. Certainly not yet at any rate.

I watched Sanches at the Euros and was stunned when he was voted young player of the tournament. If that was a genuine result, and not one based on the hype surrounding him following his big money move to Bayern, then I can only imagine that the other youngsters at the event were even worse. If anybody reviews his all touches videos from Euro 2016 I think they'll find it hard to disagree with my assessment that he looked ordinary.

Maybe people are basing their more positive opinions on other performances they've watched. I've seen Sanches in the Euros and the baby Euros, but nowhere else. Based on those viewings, I'd say Bayern made a mistake. If it is true that they are now prepared to part with him, then this would suggest that they think so too.

Bayern have too many good midfielders and they just bought Tolisso. Renato needs to play and with all the options they have at their disposal it's quite unlikely so they prefer to sell. Honestly if you watched him that many times and you can't see the huge potential in him I can't help you. If he was an ordinary player top clubs would not be interested in him in the first place.

Sky in Italy: Nemanja Matic is main midfield target for Juventus. New talks have been held about signing him from Chelsea.

Remove Matic except his shoes if Sandro doesn't get included.

Too sensible for our board to fight for a player we want , we still owe them for the Cuadrado deal also(maybe we can do a loan deal for Sandro lol) . Matic and £10 mill or ju can do 1 juve

?

Don't you mean they still owe Chelsea for Cuadrado? Which is likely very true, and if that is the case, that money will certainly factor into any deals involving Matic and/or Alex Sandro.

No i meant the stupido loan deal they screwed us with(think we got 17mill off them ) So lets hope if they want Matic we get Sandro for peanuts

How exactly did they screw Chelsea on that deal? It seemed very fair at the time and got a player that never settled in England off the books. His initial fee has essentially been completely recouped and he's now Juve's problem as it seem they're now trying to offload him.
