lordfalcao:
the club gets 15% on any future sale on him and buy on clause, if Lyon wants to sell Chelsea will be the first club they will offer him to, then if Chelsea doesn't want him they can sell to other clubs and pay Chelsea 15% of the proceeds..

Thecassanova:
I hope we don't regret this Matic selling.

You can't tell me a DM with over 40 appearances this season wasn't influential to our title winning. What would have happened if he wasn't there?

The Two DM duo needs an undertaker like Kante and another to sit back and prevent opponent direct forward movement.

With what I've seen with Bakayoko, he likes dribbling unnecessarily, he pose a big treat as any mistake would be vital in exposing the back. What is the essence of a DM dribbling when He can pass a through ball? We know what Matic does.

We don't need two DM doing tackles in midfield, one is enough while the other sit back without pressure and escort the opponents to different directions, thus breaking the attack. Cos if he tackled and was dribbled what would happen? The back three would be wild open like a fowl yansh.

Mourinho is not a fool to want your Poor Matic with €40m. He would surely maximize him.

Even if we want to sell Matic sef, it's not to ManU bikonu, I hope I'm not back here in few months time to say shebi I tell you

johnstar:


And he is a English player again

lordfalcao:
Kane is better options. But as far as levy is still dy man on the chair, forget am.

EvilMetahuman:
who is levy again?

Elnino4ladies:



Spurs chairman

The man is very rigid

EvilMetahuman:
you think he will resist that same 80million for kane?

Is there any big offer for kane yet?

Ibime:


You are on a long ting.

Buyback clauses are illegal in France so it's only a gentlemans agreement.

15% of £50m is £7.5m. Which means we won't get much out of any future sale.

EvilMetahuman:

Nihilist:


Same Matic that Mourinho double substituted against West Ham?

Same Matic that Jose, and Hiddink both dropped?

Same Matic that Conte is trying to get rid off after just 1 season?

When I remember all of this, then I don't mind if they sell Matic to Manyoo mehn.

Bakayoko here we come.

Thecassanova:

....Then the same Matic Mou think was influential to our title winning and he wants to get him at €40m

Why buy him 40m if he's that worthless? There must be something Mou is seeing you guys are not seeing. Mou no be fool.

I just wonder how strong ManU midfield would be next season.

EvilMetahuman:
But 80million for lukaku? Why not kane?

Kane looks like a better option.

Nihilist:


Jose wanted John stones for 60m and bought Pogba for 90. He's the same guy that brought Falcao, sold Mata, KDB and Lukaku, and signed Etoo and Kept Oscar.

To be honest, Jose wanting a player doesn't really mean much to me. His player assessment skills are severely suspect these days.

40m for Matic is a fantastic deal...for us.

We should deliver Matic there in a box with a pretty bow on top sef.

EvilMetahuman:
I didn't get that

Segadem:
...and spurs will release Kane for u?

Unlimited22:

You've been dancing with glee since this news broke.
Why?
You don't sell to strengthen direct rivals, uncle nihilist.
U shd know that.

Nihilist:


That's just the thing. I don't believe Matic is strengthening Manyoo at all.

Matic is only alive when he is asked to destroy. The moment he's tasked with playing more positive football , he flounders. That's what happened 15/16. That's what happened last season.

Manyoo are already solid defensively. Only Tottenham conceded less goals than them last season. Where they had problems last season was squandering chances. Matic is not a significant improvement to an already watertight defence, and he will add absolutely nothing to their attack.

If we sold say Costa or even Willian to them, I will be fretting.

But Matic? And for 40m? Mehn, He has my blessing...

EvilMetahuman:

hehehe laugh wan kill me, that man can't accept £100m for Kane, that's why no team is bidding for him

hensben:
Have you ever consider considered bakayoko playing beside Kante will reduce those stat of his you put up there. Do you still remember matic was beast three seasons ago when we won the league under mou. The team as a whole were sh1t two seasons ago if you want to till that line. I repeate my only hope about that guy pairing kabte next season is Conte's magic, how he turn nothing to something.

hensben:
This These days I only like English players in CB position or maybe goalkeeping position.

Unlimited22:

He may be an improvement. For all his tenacity, Ander Herrera isn't a defensive midfielder and will soon be exposed.

I think Mourinho is still working for Chelsea by proxy, cos how come Matic will cost £40m?

Segadem:

lordfalcao:
it is still a good deal, we can't keep hindering traore development , he needs to play regularly to become a beast of striker.. Tomorrow if he develops and Worth's 50m , Chelsea is the first club Lyon will offer him to at a cheaper rate....

All in all it is a wise deal than selling outrightly for 17M without any clause...

bigkesh:

Baba actually thinks you have to have twice the numbers of a player to be twice the player .......
It is no secret that I don't like Bakayoko but he is better than Matic,no debate

Kante won't be doing all the tackling, you know why? Because Bakayoko doesn't have the speed and agility of a heavily pregnant 95 year old woman trying to climb the stairs


Ya all Matic brigade are actually becoming pathetic,Conte didn't think twice before discarding the good for nothing Serbian.....He would be lucky if Conte informed him by text,if na me na Pigeon go deliver the informal 'Bleep out' letter

Tackles,interceptions and Duel success....Despite playing less minutes and playing for a team that dominated possession in French league in almost every game,Baka still piss on Slowtic


Baka will not improve us offensively, Matic didn't either....But defensively?? God punish Matic

Against Liverpool, Kante had 13 recoveries,Even Hazard 3,Matic was struggling with 1.......In a game which we were badly dominated ooo
No one should believe something like " he couldn't do much because his partner was doing almost everything".......So lame,this is a football game not chemistry practical


Ya all told us Matic>Fabregas because Conte thought so
Oya take am......Conte just confirmed Baka>Matic and he is keeping Fabregas

lalaboi:


In the end, you cannot understand what is above your reasoning.

Who told you Matic > Fabregas?
1. Everyone else told you that for us to be sound defensively in this formation, Matic will do that better than Fabregas in that Central Position.

2. Conte deemed it fit to start with Matic on plenty occasions ahead of your Fabregas. The stats didnt lie. But you, youtube scout from ogbomosho thinks otherwise on nairaland

3. The same Bakayoko that never offers anything going forward in atleast 3 full season of professional footy. Think about it, do we need another tackler/runner in the midfield that has Kante doing all that already? This is the point you fail to understand because you more interested in throwing imaginery L's that'll uturn on you. Bakayoko is not what we need in that middle, how you fail to see that is what i don't understand. Winning an arguement of last season which will be irrelivant in the new season is what your myopic mind is all about.

4. What everyone that supported matic here said was that we needed an agile Central Midfielder who would offer defensive solidity and as well come up with a fair share in attack. Just look at Bakayoko and tell us here if he will do more than matic has done attack wise in a season? So why are we buying almost the same thing with just little margins?

5. The same nonsense about Fabregas pairing Kante will come out your mouth again when You wont see the what Bakayoko brings to the team. Conte was wise enough, He figured Fabregas was no competition with Kante or Matic and started using him in switching to 352 when Willian or Pedro are off.

The little margins that make you think Bakayoko is better dey make you hyperventilate anyhow on the thread. Your eye go clear very soon.
