Nemanja Matic

[zolayes 14,489]

we could save a few pounds by letting spurs pay his airfare and do his medical>>

[bushman 2,043]

I hope so, bushman. We have done stupid things in the past. But I believe that the fee that was initially reported, the 21m, is the correct one because it was reported by the most reliable sources.

Well 19,

Over the years, I have followed Jose in Italy, in Spain & I have never seen him being taken to the cleaners by anybody yet. Therefore I believe, he monitored Matic well, looked into his contribution for Chelsea & decided to pay 21m or so for him.

As you might seen, I wasn´t too happy about the summer deal with Lukaku, but now I must admit the rest of the deals were spot on, ( Willian)

Whatever happens now, we will see soon. One thing I know this club is going places, I feel. I even believe, Chelsea may win the PL in this season, despite of having shitty strikers.

Kakuta goes on loan to benfica the rest of the season!

Its on SSN:Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic has now confirmed he will be returning to Chelsea in an interview with A Bola. Matic, who left Stamford Bridge three years ago, will reportedly cost €26.3million (£21.9m), while Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta will move to Benfica on loan for the rest of the season.

26 million euro is a great price in today's market for a player of Matic's quality.

Now we would only need to sort out our striker position, by clearing out the deadwood Eto'o/Ba/Torres and signing a World Class striker in the summer while bringing back Lukaku.

Can't wait to see Matic in a blue shirt again.

At one point, I thought Kakuta was gonna make it at Chelsea....he had all the skills to be top-notch...but he just seemed lazy

[BOSS 372]

YES! Even Skysports are reporting that it's done. Welcome to the club Matic! :blue scalf:

[magic weeds 446]

I wonder who the second player will be. Maybe its Kalas on loan

[bushman 2,043]

Finished, done & ready to kick some butts against Manures, I hope. LOL.

Now, the envious crowd is out in force, see some of the sites.

Chelsea is the most innovative club in UK, I feel. No dicking around. Any player who is good enough to play for Chelsea approved by the board, flies to London on a Lear Jet, I read.

---Ramires-Matic----

Willian-Oscar-Hazard

That is some midfield, already look a lot stronger. I think Matic and Rami are going to be like a wall in defense. Remind me a little of Brazil's pivot with Gustavo and Paulinho.

imo that is the best midfield 5 in the PL.

May I butt in ? Ramires & Matic = better duo, I feel.

[Pizy 18,877]

Announce it already!

I'd rather not see Luiz in midfield against United. Too risky.

[Term-X 7,891]

Tomo was right, the David Luiz-Torres deals were the worst bits of business any club has done in the history of january transfer windows. But then again, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

[bushman 2,043]

Well, some deals work out, some don´t. Ferda´s deal will never be considered as a shrewd business. I mean, to pay 50m & see the toreador popping a goal every 2 months is not much to write home about.
