Chelsea are set to seal the signing of a promising 23 year old midfielder for 35mil.
Whilst doing so flogging us a 29 year old for a reported fee of 40 Mil..
What is Ed/Jose playing at? This almost seems desparate and embarassing for the club of our stature imo. First Real Madrid , now facking Chelsea.
Id rather have Darren Fletcher back!
Matic deal?

Sometimes you just have to trust the manager though
He's a smart guy - one of the best managers of the past 15 years.
He's smart enough to know what he needs and how to make his job easier and if he feels Matic is the guy then for me he gets the benefit of the doubt.
If he's wrong and later in the season Matic is a huge flop then of course, I'll hold my hands up but being that Jose has worked with Matic before I think he knows exactly what he's getting
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and no.
I trust klopp but also have my own opinions on the players he brings in. I thought Klavan was a horrible signing when made and I personally think that's proven to be the case.
I think you can do both, have faith in your manager and question their signings if, with your own two eyes, what you've seen of that player hasn't impresses you.

I get that. But Matic has just come from a hugely successful season with the champions and has been a champion under Jose so I think that alone means he deserves the benefit of the doubt

................................
I can't be doing with playing the sort of football like we did second half of the season last year. It was appalling to watch. Matic won't change that one bit. Yes we won a couple of trophies but the big competition we flopped big time. Our defensive approach in the league did us no favours and our approach to games has to change. Many of our attacking top talents were poor last season due IMO to the defensive approach. At times we had Mkhitaryan and martial in the left back position, likewise rashford. Mata right wing back. It needs to change and if the football carries on I honestly can see many fans turning on Jose
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But you're assuming that Matic is the only player we'll sign. Or you're forgetting that Pogba was sometimes playing with a lack of freedom that the likes of Matic might give him.
I'm sure we will bring in some attacking players and I also can appreciate the anxiety levels of our fans are higher when DMs are bought because that isn't as exciting as a goalscorer coming in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't assumed anything and if anything said its only paper talk at the moment
Plus again only going by reports will Perisic and Morata the only other 2 players we appear to be heavily linked with dramatically improve our attacking side of play? I don't think it would to be honest.
There us still loads of work to do both in comings and outgoings

I think after Matic we'll sign Fabinho, Morata and Perisic
Add to that a hopefully more on fire Pogba, Rashford and Martial improving and Micky settled we should hopefully be good

Matic too old and slow
Lukaku too expensive
Moratta too expensive and a cast off
Perisic too old
What do some fans really want?
We expect to compete in all competition yet expects the coach to trust a Martial who doesn't follow his instruction to the latter.
A young Rashford who isn't ripe enough to lead the line
While we can question the rational some players been linked, I believe Jose knows what he wants from these players.
Morata (at any rate), Perisic, Matic, Fabinho and maybe Mendy will definitely improve this side

Matic might not be Makalele at his pomp but every day on here he's being underrated more and more
It's quite funny really. A psychological study of ja606 before our very eyes

People are shifting from the centre of their opinion to counter balance what they regard as OTT positivity. Same opinion more radically expressed possibly out of frustration.

Taking our weak link

We don't want Luiz thanks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you got linked with him tomorrow you'd suddenly backtrack and say "well Jose wants him so he's obviously good"

Look; all people are asking for is deals for Verratti, Costa, Fabinho and Aubemeyang to be wrapped up immediately for a sensible combined fee. Something like £100m.
Geez, expectations have really dropped around here.
