Nemanja Matic

[CHOULO19 24,332]

really should of paid the extra 4m and kept what is now a world class central midfielder

What makes you think that he would have become a good player had he stayed here? Where would he have gotten the match experience from?

I'm happy we gave him to Benfica, had he stayed here he would have been an average player at Vitesse or Hamburg now.

well the smart thing would of been to give him a decent amount of playing time, its not like we have been stacked with central midfielders recently. but as always the chelsea board make an ass of themselves.

I really liked him before he even signed for us but seriously a good second half of a season don't makes a worldclass player out of you... keep you're feet at the ground... lets see if he can stay like this for 2 seasons in a row...

I would be the last one to complain about Matic and Modric in that midfield...

LOL. Now that will be a big "FUCK YOU" to the Chelsea board and management..

Many journalists have said Matic has been the stand out player in Portugal this year. I've seen him play for Benfica a few times like the game against Porto where he scored that peach of a goal. Hes looked like hes stepped into where Javi Garcia played last year really well and I wouldn't be surprised if hes goes to United based on all the positive news around him. Hes proved himself as a good player, if he goes to United and does really well I wouldn't be surprised. Hes exactly what they need.

Which frankly speaking our board fully deserves,hopefully our board learns from these past mistakes and do not sell gems like KDB,lukaku,kalas and courtois to make room for shiny new players.

Like Ryan said, he's exactly what United need, which worries me a bit, tbh. Ironically, he could also be a good signing for us to play in the pivot, but I doubt he'd return here..

I hope that is not true. We should resign him a.s.a.p.

Commentator said during the match that his latest contract now includes a €45m release clause.

United ain't paying that!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Completely bossed the midfield in the first half, though tbf, that's not a big achievement considering how bad Frank and Luiz were!

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Didn't even realise he was that huge when he was at Chelsea. The bloke is absolutely enormous, we could use a rock like him definitely. Pity he's very expensive now.

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Good player. Better than I expected.

[lucio 5,418]

knew it was a mistake letting him go. he would be awesome in our current team

[Sheva. 5,373]

Maybe i was watching a different game, but nothing special and should have been booked for 2 cynical fouls. Plus he isn't much better than Romeu.

His passes weren't good. However, I still thought he did better than both our CMs.

Not that hard, Luiz is a CB who can do a job at CM against the weaker teams. And Lampard is simply old.

he ran the midfield and showed vision , strength and good dribbling. he is the best mid in portugal but i wouldnt go for him tbh.
