Matic

Looking almost a dead cert. at the moment. Think it'll go a long way to solving our midfield problems - one to look out for.

 
I thought Matic didn't play because he is at London to make the deal..? Twitter...

How is Matic doing?

Made some good passes which set up attacking moves, had a good chance to score and made a few good tackles here and there. Not really had anything to do due to Porto being so poor though, he's probably had a harder time in training sessions.

I may be confusing you with someone else, but aren't you Portuguese?  I assume you've seen more of him than most of us.  How highly do you rate him?

I think your confusing him with a Guy called portugeezer who used to post here in Jose's first spell and did hang around..

My avatar doesn't give it away? 

I wasn't happy when we let him go in the first place so yeah, I rated him pretty highly and still do. He's the best DM you're going to get that isn't already at a top club, so he's worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. 

 
He may not be a yaya toure but hes the second best thing

What kind of DM is he exactly? Box to box like Ramires, anchor like Makelele, playmaker like Alonso/etc?

I havent seen to much of him, but he seems to be somewhere between maka and alonso. He will make an occasional run into the box but nowhere near as often as Rami

 
Nemanja Matic's move to Chelsea appears more and more likely.

Nemanja Matic has been a hot topic of discussion this week, with reports in Portugal claiming he was even going to skip today's Benfica game for fear of injury ruining a transfer to Chelsea.

This proved to be untrue as the midfielder started the 2-0 win over Porto, but post-game, the midfielder's imminent switch has been reported as done deal by a Serbian TV station.

Matic, who hails from the country, is expected to be unveiled by Chelsea on Tuesday with a transfer fee expected to be €35 million.

RTS reported on Sunday at 6pm: "Nemanja Matic has agreed to return to London's Chelsea... will join new teammates, confirmed the RTS. Unofficially, the amount of the transfer is € 35 million... The fact that Matic began derby match against Porto speaks in favour of this claim."

Matic left Chelsea back in 2011 in a part-exchange deal for David Luiz, where he played just two games for the club. At Benfica he has become one of the most highly rated midfielders on the continent.

Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with him in recent weeks, but Matic's past connections with Chelsea, and the fact he shares an agent with Jose Mourinho appears to have swung it.

Is Matic the signing Chelsea need? Where will he fit in?
