Cl Football next year

No. I think after Terry/ Lampard it should go to Cech (if he is still here), then Cahil or Ivanovic.

I agree.

Also, I've said it before - Matic doesn't strike me as a leader\captain.

Captain go to Cech=Courtois being sold permanently

Slowly but surely turning into my favorite Chelsea Player ...

So glad we managed to get him back. He is brilliant.

I hope Costa satisfies our striker need the same way Matic has satisfied (half) of our midfield need.

I don't think Cahill is captain material, id put Azpi before him, Gazza needs stability in defence to perform his best, which, for me, rules him out as next captain.

[Jase 43,479]

what about Pjanic next to him?

Not the best in the pivot. Want to get the best out of him, play him as one of the 3 in midfield in a 4-3-3 or the No.10 in 4-2-3-1.

Just signed a contract extension at Roma a couple of weeks ago and is happy to stay now that they're in the CL next season.

True but signing a contract extension means nothing these days. Players can still just leave immediately after that and it has happened before of course.

Yep, 99% José will give the captaincy to Azpi when Terry leave (vice-captaincy this year too imo).

Mikel for the captain

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I fully expect him to be most important part of midfield next season, regardless of who we sign. He looked amazing in first half year, now its time to move a step forward

[The_Flash 1,144]

He was really good in the Brazil Serbia game.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,157]

Plan on getting him and azpi on the back of the new shirts! :blue scalf:

[Korea 734]

Matic has long legs....

He looks like he's gliding when he runs....

I rather our captain be either a CM or CB, not a goalkeeper or AM

He totally bossed Brazil midfield. he's remarkably nimble for someone his size and excellent in tight spaces where others would normally lose possession, he manages to retain it.

He will be the heart of our midfield for many years to come.

[bushman 2,043]

Serbia was clearly unlucky in that game. Deserved a draw at least.

[bababoom 4,478]

I remember when people were saying he was slow.. with those long legs he glides across the pitch effortlessly. It's like Yaya, he's not that fast, really, but he has those long legs and power its hard for anyone to take the ball of him. I also love the fact that Matic is so classy on the ball, he's not your typical big defensive midfielder.
