Nemanja Matić

 

You are able to ensure that the game against Porto was the last who held the service of Benfica?

Yes, it was my last game. I want to thank all the people at the club and all the supporters. Benfica will be forever in my heart. I played here two and a half years, I gave my best in every practice, every game, and now is the right time to leave. I want to improve, I want to go to a better league and want to go to Chelsea, the club which I also like. I also thank the president of Benfica, did everything I could to stay here but I have wanted to leave and insisted on leaving. Respect the effort made ​​to keep me in the club, he and all the people of Benfica were very good to me, made ​​me happy, but I repeat that I insisted on going out to understand that the time is right.

Noooooooo. Another transfer you've jinxed with a premature thread

Mate this 100%. I purposely made a thread for Guarin to jinx it

Kakuta apparently going on loan there and maybe even another player

wouldn't think Jinx it if making a thread for Guarin around the same time jinxed it?

I am happy about the deal but not happy this thread was made prematurely.

Kickster is not happy...



RUN FER YER LIVES!!!

Kakuta on loan Jorge Jesus never learns

We'd happily give Kakuta to them.









Unless of course he turns out to be the second coming of Messi within 3 years

Apparently had his medical today and will sign tomorrow.

Lets hope who ever we send there doesn't do a Matic on us.

What a signing

^ Seps joining the dark side

Honestly, I am in two minds about this signing. On one hand, I am very happy to see him back at the club and happy that our club is addressing our problems. On the other, I think of Javi Garica and how poorly he has done at City and how Matic isn't a sure thing.

I really hope he does well, as we need him to.

You could bring up a million similar examples from every league in the world. 'Gervinho was world class in Ligue 1 and a flop in the PL and therefore Hazard will be too'. Often heard the summer we signed Eddie, couldn't have been less true. Not saying it'll happen identically here, but just because some players from a league fail to make the grade doesn't mean all from that league will. Bottom line is, every transfer is a risk.

Our recent ones, Schurrle, Mata, Hazard, Oscar, I all felt would do well.

I am more worried about this one tbh.

That's because you're a hopeless doom-sayer

Says Mr. Pessimism himself.

 

My heart says He'll do well though.
