What's new

Matic

 He's someone comfortable on the ball, but also a tank defensively. He's not just a destroyer type but can actually pick out a pass and won't give it away stupidly or just be a liability on the ball. And gives us yet more height and physicality.

I simply cant understand how you can look at Matic play and think " gee, he sure looks comfortable on the ball".

At least they are beginning to understand the Mourinho Philosophy. Height and Physicality - it's what it's all about!!

 
I still find the weirdest thing about this transfer is how Matic pushed for the move. Why would you want to leave a title winning team with a manager that believes in you to go to a team that can't even reach top 4, been in decline for the past 5 years and has a manager that lost faith in you when you were last with him?

Must be a mega money contract or something.

Can't be much more than less competition, imo. He walks into their starting xi, no longer does here with Bakayoko set to emerge.

As much as I'd rather we kept him I find it funny that the same press who largely overlooked him as an irrelevance whilst here are suddenly praising him as the second coming of Pirlo, Roy Keane and Sergi Busquets rolled into one now that he's a United player.

Didnt he want out last Summer? After the clusterf**k of that season before when he was one of quite a few who were terrible, he'd probably already checked out. He stayed but he was half hearted all season.

I don't understand all this tantrum with selling to a rival. Conte wants to improve our team and Matic can't be an improvement so we sold him to united who overpayed for an aging average player. It's good business for us as he is worse than the other players they have been linked with. Now to those who claim united won't sell to a rival, can you place a bet on united holding on to someone like Carrick if we try to sign him for like 50m? A player who might not even play more than 20 games mostly as substitute for them!
Lol, am willing to do more business with United this transfer window as we still have the an experienced and world class keeper in Eduardo who will like to showcase his acrobatic skills in the Champions league this season.

The issue is giving a rival team a player they want. Even if he's of little use to us he's a missing piece for them. One man's trash is another man's treasure

i will give them height and physicality. except height means sh*t if you can't even use that height effectively to win the ball in the air.

He's not as good as the names you mentioned but doubt any of those would want to move to a 6th place side and obviously yes he does improve them a bit as they don't have another CDM.

For Nainggolan and Fabinho, moving to United from there current team is a big step up.

Herrera has quickly become one of the most overrated players in the league.
Matic is better than him and will definitely be more of a mainstay than him under Mourinho.

It's either you don't know Herrera or you don't know Matic.

If Matic is United's dream signing or their treasure, their board are simply deluded. They are shortsighted!

You get the sums wrong:
Matic - 40m.

Oscar - 60m.

Ake - 20m

Cuadrado - 17m3 + 5m. from the loan - 22,3m

Bamford - 10m(inc. bonuses)

Atsu - 6.2m

And the sum is 182.5m

And we also will probably get arround 3m. for Solanke so more then 185m .....

mine were all based without add ons 

 
Started for United today against Sampdoria, by reports his 45 minutes were excellent, he has impressed. 

If he will bring his form back and will do his best for United, we will have to worry because at his best, he is one of the best DM's in the league.

 
i'm more bemused why our rivals are playing so many preseason games and we've only played 4 so far. i hope that doesn't bite us in the arse, but thankfully it looks like our players are in much better shape than during the mourinho season. 

 
He was always a nice guy on and off the p;itch, but can't say as we should miss him too much. Hes 29 and been average for a while now. They are building a team of average /good players in that United side  to solidify top 4, but not a title winning side.
