Matic has an agreement with Chelsea. He's refusing to play today with Benfica to put pressure.

. We need an allrounder who can keep the pace up for the attacks and has something to give in terms of scoring.
I don't think we want or need that type of player at all.

We need a player who can pass and move and play a quick ball in the middle of the park, whether that player is Matic I have no idea.

 
I expect this is one of the 'clinical signings' that Jose has been talking about. 

If the price is what they say (35m+) we need to sell to balance the books in the summer.

 
Actually getting pretty excited over this. He's been followed by just about every big club(City, United, Bayern, Barcelona etc).

He has covered more ground then anyone else in the CL this year. 13,2 km average every game.

Lord the bo**ocks begins now. If we are the victims of highway robbery to get him back it will really serve to highlight how stupid our approach to transfers/player development is.

No it won't. It would be a 1 in a million occurrence. It's pretty much never happened before.

Meh. Wasnt much we could do in regards to Matic. He wasnt ready for first team action last time he was here and he didnt want to sign a new deal so he was leaving on a free in the summer regardless. The last ten years we have had one youngster who have been sold off without getting a shot at playing time that went on becoming good elsewhere. Thats to be expected from a club this size.

Well we've never done this sort of thing before really. Plus, we're about to make £10m on a player who's played 2 PL games for us (De Bruyne) which isn't bad business.

Exactly. I've no issue here at all though no doubt I will get blown out of all proportion.

Matic wasn't ready and was used in an important deal for Chelsea to buy a player who has gone on to do well for us. If the KDB money goes towards it too then I don't think anyone can moan really.

I hope the price is alot closer to £20mil, then £30mil atleast. I still think we need a couple more "clinical signings" in the summer, a striker and a left back. There would have to be some sacrifices to get 3 quality signings though: KDB (£17mil-£20mil) , Moses (£5mil-£8mil), Torres (£10mil-£15mil). We also have options to sell Mata, Luiz or Cech (Courtois returning), but I hope it dosen't come to that.

Moses, Marin, Ba and Eto'o are dead certs to leave in the summer. I would hope for at least £16M for the three of them. Eto'o will free up a lot in wages too.

Looks like it's pretty much a done deal.
