Nemanja Matic

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

He was apparently excellent tonight vs Porto.

He reminded me of Ballack, a less talented version of Ballack, though.

I made that comparison on this thread about two years ago ..I reaaly had great hopes for him

Mhm, he hasn't progressed as I expected him to do so far, but even now he could've been a useful squad player for us.

Never really had high hopes for him but did think he could've been a useful squad player. Peach of a goal though mind!

Matic just scored this peach of a left foot volley against Porto.

Wow! Don't think he'll ever catch a volley better than that. Great strike.

Helton should've saved it

Apparently was excellent for Benfica in their win over Leverkusen last night. Has become an integral member of their squad and is a huge fan favourite and scored the odd brilliant goal as well. Sad because when he was here I always thought he had potential, but we were not patient and looked to get the cash and looking at things now, we could do with someone like him now. Tall, strong, good vision, technique, young and improving. His value is going to shoot up and I am sure big clubs will come in for him some time soon.

Yea..it's unfortunate that we didn't give him more time to settle in at Chelsea.

In my opinion, Matic and Stoch should of been kept around or worst case scenario we should of inserted a buy back clause.

Matic is infact doing very well for benfica.

[zolayes 14,489]

I liked Matic a lot was very disappointed we let him go

Even worse we practically let him go for free as part of the Luiz deal. He'd literally walk into our starting XI now...Hopefully we've learned from that and will treat Ruben differently.

Talking about Matic, he scored not too long ago. Currently winning 3-0 and reading the Benfica news feed on twitter he has bossed the game completely. Irks me that we could of had a very good player on our hands here.

Our problem is we don't seem to learn. Shevchenko then Torres

The thing is that he would never have developed the same way here.He would have been loaned to vitesse then sold to hamburger.

Sign him up!

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

All of Benfica fans are raving about him

[bababoom 4,478]

£21 million and Matic for Luiz..

[lucio 5,418]
