January 13, 201412 yr From red cafe: "It's bizarre he's going back there after being more or less shafted. In fact it baffles me why any young player would ever want to join Chelsea. They're career killers unless you cost 20 million pounds. They've constantly buried young talent down the years. f**king vile club, shafted him out whilst overpaying for a clumsy Brazilian and now they're paying stupid amounts to get him back. Chelsea FC #f**ktards 4ever." Haha, why so serious? Should ask them if given the chance to sign Pogba back for say £35M would they turn it down? I'm pretty sure his answer would be no.
January 13, 201412 yr Didn't they buy Zaha? Isn't he now wasting away on the bench / out of the squad? Didn't even give him a loan move. Hypocrites.
January 13, 201412 yr As in: --------MvG-------- Rambo------Matic ? Still, it's not done yet so before formations are predicted I suppose we must wait to see if we actually sign the player before we stick him in the starting XI...! It'd be more like this: Matic Rambo MvG

January 13, 201412 yr Reports all over Twitter today that Matic may sign by the weekend. Lots of Portuguese journalists saying that it's nearing completion.
January 13, 201412 yr Coincidence? Haha, must have been subconsciously at the back of my mind! Weird.
January 13, 201412 yr Umm, good business selling a promising 22 year old for a 26 year old. Building for the future aren't we? IMHO, Yes considering the wealth of talent we have in that position. Matic's 25. Whats the problem? Good buisness making over double the amount we paid for a player that has played twice. Read my previous posts I have always been extremely supportive of De Bruyne. I believed he would be a starter but sadly he hasn't been able to shine albeit not having enough opportunities in my view. Were desperate for a Matic type player where as right now De Bruyne is a luxury were stocked in that position. Were basically funding Matic with the De Bruyne money. Good Business....
January 13, 201412 yr Coincidence? Haha, must have been subconsciously at the back of my mind! Weird. I'm just a trend setter.
January 13, 201412 yr Gonçalo Lopes ?@_GoncaloLopes21m Matic will be in London today, after Zurich. Tomorrow he signs with cfc. Benfica and cfc still in talks.
January 13, 201412 yr Gonçalo Lopes ?@_GoncaloLopes21m Matic will be in London today, after Zurich. Tomorrow he signs with cfc. Benfica and cfc still in talks. If true we must not be too far apart in terms of the fee then.
January 13, 201412 yr Haven't seen much of him since he moved to benfica but he seems to have improved but is he really what we need? Is he any better than Mikel?
January 13, 201412 yr How can he definitely be signing tomorrow if the clubs are still in talks -.- Edited January 13, 201412 yr by Stim

The same bloke posted this He probably had other options than Chelsea back then, it's not as if Chelsea are known as some sort of unique club for spotting talent. And it isn't that you " bury phenomenal young talent", it's just your treatment of young players in general.Who's careers did you stall? I'll go through the list.. Branislav Ivanovic - If it wasn't for Scolari, he'd have been buried and long sold. How long did it take him to make one appearance? this despite the fact Chelsea paid 9 odd million for him. Daniel Sturridge - Speaks for itself. Ryan Bertrand - Where is he? Ashley Cole is finished but what do Chelsea do, they play a right full back at left back instead. Gael Kakuta - Illegally signed from Lens about 500 years ago, spent the last few years being thrown around Europe on loan. Scott Sinclair - Pissed him about for years. Tom Taiwo and Michael Woods? It's not as if these guys were or are in their teens or anything, most are or were in their 20's. I get that the demand to be successful is the main reason Chelsea never give a chance to young talent but then why spend so much money on these players only to shaft them out on loan every year when they're well into their 20's, it doesn't help them progress. You stop other clubs from getting these players, you stop clubs from developing these players and then you treat them like sh*t and if you can't see that then you're deluded. Take your head out the sand. I wonder what lies for Josh Mceachran and Nathaniel Chalobah, two very talented players, with Lampard ageing, surely you'd think it would be a perfect opportunity to give either a go, will Chelsea? will they f**k? It's well known that Chelsea treat young players badly, I'm not even coming up with anything ground breaking here. It's just years of evidence. Edited January 13, 201412 yr by jack_super_class

January 13, 201412 yr I only believe when the official CFC site says something :P Been burned too many times in CFC Transfer windows.
January 13, 201412 yr Look in the trophy cabinet if you want evidence. The fact he listed Ivanovic is laughable.

It's well known that Chelsea treat young players badly, I'm not even coming up with anything ground breaking here. It's just years of evidence. There's just so much wrong with this whole post it's laughable, listing our first choice right back Ivanovic as an example of hindering player development? Wah? Not quite sure how we "pissed about" Sinclair "for years" seeing as he left us when he was what 21? The fact that he chose to follow the money to City rather than stay at Swansea is his own fault. I understand the point the guy is trying to make but considering he supports a club that bought Zaha, one of the most promising English prospects and have let him rot all season and appear reluctant to allow him to leave on loan in order to get first team football, maybe he should look a little closer to home rather than lashing out and talking nonsense about players he clearly knows nothing about.
January 13, 201412 yr Why do we even care what some bitter fans of a mid table club think? All those posts look like theyve been typed out whilst foaming at the mouth
January 13, 201412 yr He also lists Ryan Bertrand well i could just name Fabio exactly the same situation.Then he lists two youngsters in Tom Taiwo and Michael Woods both not good enough for Chelsea but thats Chelsea fault.And Kakuta i don't see the problem loaning out a young player,we gave him opportunities whilst out on loan to show he can do but i suppose doing what Utd are doing with Zaha is a better way to handle things. Macheda gets loaned out everywhere because hes not good enough, what about Bebe? Rodrigo Possebon? They signed Zoran Tosic and hardly ever played him.There is bound to be plenty more.
January 13, 201412 yr Hahahaha!!! @FNN_Official: Matic on Zurich Radio: "Yes, I'm signing for Chelsea. I rejected ManUtd because they've Moyes and Chelsea has Jose."
January 13, 201412 yr They are just as bitter as a lime because we have so many options and they are stuck with some absolute muck.
