Nemanja Matic

[zolayes 14,489]

I read that stuff the debate moved as most do.

Can you name me one available "Regista"?

I don't think we need a DLP, I think we have enough with our attackers to win a lot of big games. What we are lacking, IMHO, is a guy who can provide us with solidity in the midfield and also move the ball to our creative players. I've been saying this forever... And if we get Matic that will go a long way to addressing that.

Pressing with Ramires and Matic will provide us with more recovered balls and will also free up Lamps or Ramires to get forward to create overloads. If we can do that effectively the DLP role is less a need.

What we need is a STRIKER,,, any one of City's 3 + Lukaku

Anyone who thinks we don't need a midfielder simply doesn't understand the game.

No one said that! But we also need a decent CDM.

Chelsea are prepared to pay £21 million to bring Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic back to the club during the January transfer window according to Telegraph.

Mourinho is considering Matic as one of the players to strenghten Chelsea's midfield, following Kevn De Bruyne and Micheal Essien's imminent departure.

25 year old Matic left Chelsea in January 2011 as a makeweight in the £25 million deal for David Luiz from Benfica, when Carlo Ancelotti was Chelsea manager.

He has long been linked with a return to the club, but Telegraph insists an approach is imminent.

I want Matic for the same reason I wanted Pogba. Granted Paul is nicer on the ball but Matic provides us with pace, power and solid workrate. He runs all game and has excellent awareness... This will DEF make us a more formidable side.

Preaching to the choir brother.

I believe that gets settled in the summer.

Question, is Matic and Rambo going to be rotated with each other??

Reading the comments, it seems they are both similar players...

They are no where near similar players, Matic is no where near as fast as Ramires. But he got better passing and tackling. If anything Matic is more like Khedira/Alonso than Ramires.

sorry they are like chalk and cheese

Couldnt watch game, but I saw lot of positive talk about Matic, yet here its like he had below average game. Seems that some people dont understand situation. Matic is not world class DM, there is no available world class DM and this guy is the best bet we can get right now. He is miles ahead of Guarin and equaly good to Bender, another player who is rated highly.

He will improve our midfield and he ie good enough to play for this team and will be even better once he settles in. I dont know what people expect from Matic, to be worlds best or what? He is hard worker who gives everything to the team and runs like mad. Has good ball control and defends well, half europe is looking for him, those who are lifetime Benfica fans say he is better than Witsel and Garcia together. If Mou decides he is good enough, he will buy him.

I dont think any CM is worse than Rambo when it comes to passing...

Eh, Khedira is similar to Rambo....

Pogba isn't nicer on the ball though.

You have your opinion, I have mine.

Pogba is pure B2B and a power footballer. Matic is more elegant on the ball and is more of a playmaker.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

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

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

I don't know what Paul Pogba you're referring to but the one I'm talking about plays for Juventus and has incredible ability on the ball.
