Nemanja Matic

[lucio 5,418]

Shit some rumors going around that he is gonna sign for 35m euros, fuck this we ARE OVERPAYING YET AGAIN IF TRUE.

kdb will pay for over half of it. and unless we can find a really good midfielder for really cheap , we will have to spend a fair chunk of money, or either buy someone crap or no-one which would kill our title hopes.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Do you ever have anything positive to say? So what if we are over paying? How does it effect you in anyway?

It will when we get kicked out of CL for not meeting financial requirements.

I know but still, around 20m was seem acceptable but now nearly doubling it is not good enough especially after us reporting a loss of nearly 60m last year imo. This is the sort of money you pay for someone making the headlines like Pogba imo, not Matic. Also there is no guarantee that he would slot in seamlessly in anyway. Big risk at 35m imo.

Exactly.

Still not believing this rumor yet until I see it tweeted directly from Chelsea, but the de Bruyne money will pay a bunch of it. Even if it didn't I wouldn't care. We desperately need him.

I'm not worried about it. I mean he was player of the year in Liga Sagres last year, he's not gonna go for peanuts... Also if the board deem we can afford it what's the harm?

Having said that I doubt its true.

like being best player in portugal means a lot. we wasnt ready to pay good money for a world-class striker but paying 35 m for someone relatively unproven is "ok? pure madness in my opinion. especially with FFP coming up etc.

and I dont know why people are underestimating the "playmaker-midget" thing. its surely coincidental that bayern with someone like Kroos or Schweinsteiger destroyed every team last season or Barca with their "midgets" for a long time or tons of other great teams have playmaker-midfielders.

They say "it is confirmed to RTS", and for the rest of the article the are quoting newspaper from portugal.

You have my vote for the dumbest post this month.

Thankyou.

Such a great honour.

Clearly you didn't get it was a reaction to the previous full page stupid argument because someone said they didn't like Matic. But oh well.

Happy it got me nominated for the award.

You shouldn't underrate such achievement. Fortunately our league is constantly filled with great players.

kroos and schwein are both 6ft. idk what your definition of a midget is

[bluesman2610 1,341]

€35m or £29m and we are going to get about £18m for the sale of KDB so we will be getting Matic for about £11m .. not bad business if you ask me

[Pizy 18,368]

Again, 35m minus more than half of that if the reported KdB fee. Not bad at all.

What do you people expect to pay for a top class player these days? Did you seriously believe we'd get Benfica's best player for 15m or something?

Fucks sake. Stop bitching.

[Polo7 3,496]

Jorge Jesus on Matic: "If Matic is leaving? I would be the last to know. We've always sold players and we have to live with it

Found this on twitter

[Waterfall 893]

I don't know why people are so worried about the FFP. We have tonnes of unimportant players we can get rid of to raise funds: KdB, Moses, Marin, Essien, Bertrand, Romeu, Ba, Mikel etc. Then there are youngsters like Piazon, Atsu, Wallace and Kalas we can sell if urgent. If something REALLY bad happens, we also have Courtois

[Las7 951]

What are people expecting a cheap transfer in January?

I hope you're happier when realizing we are paying 35 million euro for Matic rather than 15-20 million for Guarin

[Bacika 188]

I don't think it will be 29 mil pounds...more around 21 mil pound I believe...
