Nemanja Matic

[-Kaplan- 410]

This will only be a good move if we can reinforce our midfield with the money.

He's a lot nearer 29 than he is 28. That's a fact.

If Conte left him behind then he must be causing issues regarding this move. Its best we sell and forget. 

[Georgy 439]

40 instead of 50? The fuck is wrong with us. I said somewhere in this thread and I repeat

Chelsea sell to the rich and give to the poor. Why even negotiate the price with those fuckers 50 or fuck off. Pretty sure selling him now will only mean we need to spank a few millions more when we buy another midfielder because the other teams know we have money.

The reputable journalists are all reporting done deal now and may be announced today.

Really hope we immedietly throw every penny of his fee at another CM. Forget a loan, just try to buy Renato Sanches. Young, super talented and can be eased into things here without massive expectations.

[DH1988 1,348]

Does make me laugh though that there is one market for us and another for everybody else but we seem to cave in almost every time when its to do with our players. 

Should have held out for £50m, in this wild transfer market.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Fuck this shit.

The transfer sum doesn't even matter now; you're giving United the opportunity to fill a major hole in their squad for which there is no other player available. Bravo, whoever the fuck is in charge!

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

I hope we have another midfielder lined up and that's why this is finally going through.

Also, I don't get all the hate.  Matic was a big part of our 2 league wins in the past 3 years.  Sure, he has his limitations, but he gave as much effort on the pitch as anyone else during that time.  Personally, I'll remember him fondly and wish him all the best.

[El P. 1,354]

Selling our second most important midfielder with a month to go in the market, to our direct rival. Money isn't even important. And anyone who says he is not good enough - well, he might just be for United. They have two really mobile technically good players in Pogba and Herrera, Nemanja will add good tactical and defensive approach. Matić - Herrera - Pogba really sounds good and balanced.

It's wrong in any way I look it.

Fee is 40M with bonuses it could rise to 50M.

Which Im confident we will. 

Conte has complained too much about squad depth for us tk sell Matic without an adequate replacement lined up. 

I just want a Top Top CM brought in. Not a reclamation project in Renato Sanches. An eatablished CM capable of winning UCL matches.

That midfield is terrible. It's not balanced at all, it lacks a lot of creativity,tehnical ability. It will be kick and rush football.

Then I guess you are underrating Pogba and Herrera a bit. They are not Modrić and Isco, but are very good. Herrera got nice passes and decent touch, and no need to mention Pogba's ability. Another world compared to what we have.

[Special Juan 28,112]

There has to be already a done deal or nigh on something about to be sealed for us to be selling Matic.

Watch us end up with Lee Cattermole ffs
