Nemanja Matic

[Special Juan 28,124]

But who ...

The only one that comes to mind is Modric. But Madrid wont sell him.

My opinion on this is well noted on here…..Bust a gut to get Kroos from Bayern.

Pretty brilliant performances from the big lad in his short spell so far. I'm certain if he played the full season, he would have been in the team of the year.

Read somewhere that Chelsea should build around him. What do you think?

Hes been here for just half season and adopted brilliantly. Will look forward when he gets proper CM to play next to him, exciting times

[Pizy 18,866]

Fucking monster in that vid!

Proper partner and we have the best CM in the world.

I dunno, its difficult to build around a holding midfielder. I don't think Jose is going to try to build around anybody but if he is then Eden is the obvious choice.

I don't think Chelsea should build around any one player. Matic should be seen as a very important player though as he clearly got the quality.

Anyone else feel that he could be captain material in a couple of years? I mean he ticks most of the boxes; he seems very mature and professional in interviews and speaks english perfectly well. He is also a regular starter coming into his prime years and have already been at the club a couple of years. We'll have JT for atleast another year or so, but I belive Matic is the best choice when JT inevitably retires.

[Ze Mario 638]

almost the whole package. No shit, he even can dribble past 2-3 players

He'll be part of the new spine rather than having the team built around him, along with Hazard, Oscar, Courtois and Costa (and the defence).

Doesn't strike me as a leader on the pitch TBH.

[Clevemayer 764]

what about Pjanic next to him?

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.

fuck, didn't recognize it, still think OL fucked him up at the beginning but now I really like him so lets go for pogba? but aren't both too similar?

Not signing a very good central midfielder next to Matic will be like a time bomb that will undo our chances next season! I pray it doesnt happen...but if it does I have a premonition that this excellent player called Matic will have 2put out d effort meant 4two 2playerz alone...Ramires iz only effective 4tactical situations...for a club like ours that wants to combine pressing possession and counter attacking style of play next season...we do need a fucking good central midfielder next to Matic next season...games are won or lost in centre of the pitch! a fairly matured player capable of spraying long aerial passes has good technical attributes capable of supporting attack and complement matic in defensive positions so that Hazard and Oscar would be relieved of some defensive responsibilities is a must next to matic...sadly MVG lost many part of the season due to injury...i c such calibre in him...Witsel/Vidal/Gundogan(injured) and Paulinho are my likely candidates depending on Paulinho's form in WC.
