Nemanja Matic

I refuse to believe all these rumours until it's been confirmed that Spurs have paid for his flight.

Saying good-bye?

Looks that way

That pic was apparently taken before the match.

No, it was after the game

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."

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well this has escalated quickly...I swear yesterday there wasn't even any rumors about him and now the general consensus is that we've agreed with him?

Matic would be a great signing because he would give Jose the dynamism that he's been seeking in the pivot while still being very good on the ball and an excellent passer unlike Ramires and Luiz. Ideally we should have made this signing in the summer, but if the quoted 20m price is correct then I don't think we're paying an inflated price for him at all. But I very much doubt it'll be done as soon as Tuesday like the rumors are claiming. It's still early in the window and the negotiations are likely to drag on.

I remember when we signed Marin rumours appeared in the morning and it was announced by the afternoon. Recent transfer rumours that drag on in our case tend to not happen e.g. Falcao, Cavani, Hulk, Fellani (Phew)

Do you all watch the Portuguese League on a weekly basis? So many experts on the matter I'm inclined to believe it.

I don't know the man well enough to give a valid opinion, I'll stick to what Mou thinks.

Can't really compare the Marin transfer with this, tbh, though. For starters the profiles of the players are completely different. Plus, we signed Marin in something like March or April so naturally not a lot of media sources picked up on it.

And one of the positive's are that we are not sighning Guarin!

To be fair most of the player signed for us are the result of long speculation and most don't come off anyway(Falcao,Cavani, Aguero, Silva, Fellaini...etc). The only few surprises transfers that did happen without us knowing were Oscar, Hazard and Willian which appeared out of no where and really unexpected.

There were reports about us interested in Matic for at least a month. Di Marzio said its Guarin or Matic for us for some time.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

People do realise we're not going to get a WC striker in this window right? Unless you lot are desperate for another Demba Ba.

LB, CM and ST are our three areas of weakness. At least we're going to fix one of them.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Won't happen as fast as we all think. I hope we get him around 20-25mil, benfica didn't qualify for champs lge, they'll take it.

How will luiz feel about this lol
