Not while he is under contract no we do not. But is it fair to have a player of such ability end up as a mere backup?

Whether it is fair or not, i don't care. He is under contract at Chelsea and i want him fighting for his spot, even if that means he continues to get less games than Oscar next season. I want us competing for all competitions, it's good to have the quality of Mata around when we need him.

We ain't the only top club with great players on the bench, it's one of the reasons why these teams are always competing for the top prizes. Look at Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, they all have brilliant players that can come off the bench or fill in when needed.

Having world class players around is needed to win the big competitions.

Some tweets from Jan Hagen, a Portuguese football journalist:

Jan Hagen ?@PortuBall

So, If you want a DM who is great at tackling, intercepting, heading, reading the game and play the killer pass, Matic is the man for you.

Jan Hagen ?@PortuBall

He reminds me of a more defensive/deep-playing Yaya Toure. Great at intercepting the ball and good at passing.

If A Bola's fee on €25,3m for Matic is true we've just witnessed a daylight robbery. He's a beast with a €50m release clause/long contract.

Well if he's actually that good then i'm very excited, this is the kind of player that can transform an entire team.

 
in some of his quotes printed on previous page, Matic talked about his desire to work for best manager in Mourinho...while we always stood a chance of getting him back, having jose in charge must give us such an edge in transfers...supposedly utd were after him...well how would you react if you get a call from Moyes and Mourinho..it's no contest is it...bit like willian with avb or jose...a wannabe or the special one...mmm...tough choice!

 
Seems to have much more to his game than Mikel does. And he passes the ball with a bit of zip to it. Something i think Mikel needs to do more often as he usually brings the tempo right down

In an ideal world we would be back to the 'at least 2 quality players per position' mantra we once had I agree. I do not want Juan sold or to leave, I just wonder if he will be happy if he ends up on our bench a lot of the time.

 
Supposedly KDB is on the way out for 17.5m and Matic on the way in for 20.7m, what a great improvement for 3.2m. Very excited, I feel this as our biggest weakness dealt with.

 
1 out of 2 in terms of the weaknesses. Striker comes in the summer I reckon. Anyway good business in the january if these two deals go through. We'd be more balanced. Less crowd in the AM's and more bodies for middle of the park and more qualiy which is the key.

 
Looks like what we'd hoped McEachran would turn out to be. A Carrick sort of player, but more aggressive and mobile.
