He is.

I honestly believe we were correct to sell him, I don't think he would have turned into the player he is today playing for us. We made the right call.

Former Chelsea coach reveals Blues had major doubts about new star:
Former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins is delighted to see Nemanja Matic proving his doubters wrong during his second spell with the Blues

“When he left a few years ago, I was instrumental in that.”

“He was half the size, wasn’t influential in a game for the reserves and looked as if he was drifting.”

“Then he left to go to Benfica and, full credit to him, he showed what he was all about.”

“He has come back twice the size, he is huge, and he is performing outstandingly well.”

Only in Expressland could one transfer have stopped another that happened 2 weeks before it.

Jose wrote:“He is the best player,” said the Chelsea boss.

“He was signed in the most difficult market. Which is for the players who are coming in mid-season, so the last half of the season was for him to improve, not adaptation, as he was a Chelsea player before, but to improve.

“At this moment he is a giant, not for his size but for the way he plays.”
He said: “I was champion in different countries, with different clubs. And there are points which are always present.

“I had it in Inter, Porto and Madrid and I have it here. I had it here in my first spell and I have it now, and this is something that I always have, people who are willing to sacrifice for the team, people who are willing to push, push to help, so I am so pleased with that."

Remarkable that people were berating us for paying £21m for a player we let go for peanuts 3 years before, yet now that sum looks like absolute daylight robbery on our part.

Nemanja Matic has been named the 2014 Serbian footballer of the year. Well deserved, he's been a rock for both club and country.

Congrats to Matic, he has been immense since we signed him and was immense today. Very deserving.

His whole post was a joke. Saying Stoke outplayed us. Haladelusion

Yes, that too. Must have been watching a different game than the rest of us. Entirely.

We were in cruise control from the second minute.

They had a few spells but they were brief and sporadic. Never in danger.
