Nemanja Matic

He has developed as a good/great player in a different, presumably weaker, league.

We may have to show the same patience with him as we do with any other acquisition from a different league/country. The fact he was once a Chelsea player may or may not help his adaptation to the current squad and system, not to mention the Premiere League - has he even played much in the PL?

Can't wait to see him playing for 90 minutes, Manu game exposed our lack of composed passer from midfield.

Hopefully he can fill that role

Nope. According to wikipedia 2 games and for very limited minutes, so his on-field experience is negligible.

Can't wait for his full second-debut on Sunday. Top player, and from what I've heard of him, he sounds like a guy that has a genuine affinity for the club.

I bet if he plays well tomorrow he will play in the next 10 matches straight away.

Great, great signing!

Ladies and gentlemen, the DM we've been craving for years. And he was underpriced.

good work jose!

[Stingray 9,441]

I am very, very happy with him ! He has a lot of presence, a good passing, clear vision and seems to 'see' Hazard and Oscar.

great, great buy.

Looked really solid against Stoke today, won the ball & distributed it time and time again, seems to like to switch the play too which could be interesting with who we can have bombing up either flank

Based on that £21m seems a bit of steal, these are early impressions of course but against one of the more physical sides in the EPL he stood out for me

[jmarlow 458]

What a player!

[Fernando 6,376]

Can we send more players to Benfica? :blue scalf:

But this time with a buy back clause or even on loan!

Is Matic world class or is Mikel extremely shit

Carefull .... @Choulo19 might watch

[bluesman2610 1,226]

Made 63 attempted pass completed 89% had 3 interceptions and 3 tackles and no fouls conceded .. great game Matic! :blue scalf:

Liked how quickly he moved the ball up the pitch, and was very calm with moving forward with the ball himself. And then there's his physical dominance when on the ball. Great buy.
