BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I heard some rumours that he wont extend contract with Psg and want to join Premier league.His price is apparently around 20m.While many want Pogba, including me, he is not worth 80m and Matuidi would be more suitable for us as he has more experience, tactical awarness and stronger mentality.Heard Arsenal, City and United are keeping tabs on him too.Imo if we sell Ramires for certain reason, Matuidi would be fine addition. He is more reliable with the ball and has knock to make some deciding moments in big games too.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Sell Mikel and get him would be reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Sell Mikel and get him would be reasonableTrue, but Matuidi is more b2b than classic DM. But surely he can play both roles great, he is just better with bit more freedom as b2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapkun 668 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Makes no sense to go for Matuidi when we have a similar player in Ramires. Quality player regardless and PSG would be stupid to let him leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'd be happy to get him to be honest, but signing another CM means either two things: he'd be back up to Matic or Oscar would probably get sold because we'd play a 4-3-3, Matic holding with Matuidi and Fabregas ahead of him.

Special Juan 28,189 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He was outstanding against us in the 1st leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,070 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He would be a great signing alongside Matic, should we not get Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 "He won't extend his contract" well he has a contract until 2018. Why would they sell him ? And why would he want to leave ? He's French, he's playing in the best French team, he's playing in almost every possible game since he's arrived, he's getting regular caps ahead of Euro 2016 in France, he's vital for them and he's in his prime years. Enough reasons ? The only one scenario is that PSG try to recoup some significant money to make a move for Pogba and Matuidi is the one who they will sacrifice. And that means he won't be cheap.I'd welcome him as an upgrade to Ramires especially in technical abilities and intelligence while still possessing similar physical traits, but I think we should buy someone younger. We have already Ramires, Mikel, Fabregas and Matic in the same age group who, maybe not now, but in not so long future will start declining process and we really don't want players to age together.I'd go for Pogba, Koke to name world-class (or potentially world-class) players or someone like Imbula if the two is out of the picture.Anyway, a very good player nonetheless.

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Matuidi is a rich man's Ramires. I think he'd be a great add plus chemistry with Zouma and Varane (*crosses fingers*).Soon Chelsea maybe referred to as Le Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 441 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Matuidi is very good cm. Like sissoko, I would take matuidi, without any hesitation. Both can play multiple positions and have good physical abilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 He absolutely rocked our world in the first leg, really impressed me. I'm in, it's not like we are stocked in midfield anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm not stripping Matuidi from very good player class, because I watched him often enough to know that. But Fernandinho looked like a world beater in 2012 when we played against Shakhtar. Remember that ? Our midfield can be so passive that it made good players look like a world-class.

And he is consistent for few years now. Not to mention Matuidi plays in france and is regular for national team, while Fernandinho played for shakhtar all these years. And they paid 40m for him or sth, Matuidi (if he forces to leave), will not be that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 What do contracts mean nowadays?Means the player is happy and the club is happy about him. And when the club is PSG there's no way you can convince them to just give you the player.If you want to really break the bank for Matuidi its another story, but why would you do that.
