Nemanja Matic

[Castiel]

Looking like being a painful window to be a Benfica fan, just as it looks like they're on for the league title, everyone is being sold. More than a bit gutting

I remember reading that they were keen to sell because they fell out of the CL and are in dire need of money at the moment. Their South American scouting network is so good they'll find some other insane prospect soon enough and we'll all be drooling over him in the next window or so!

Deal done, lock thread

Says who

Di Mazio has reported it on twitter. If he says it's done, it's done.

oh well if its on twitter then it must be a done deal

Well tbf di marzio is pretty nailed on with his info. Plus there is Serbian TV, Portuguese TV and various journals in those countries confirming the deal. I'd say that's pretty good evidence matic is going there

saying goodbye to Benfica fans after the match, he's off

disappointed to miss out on him, a position we desperately need to fill

 

[GHoddle]

Very good signing for Chelsea imo. They had two weaknesses - up front and in center midfield, and now one of those is taken care of basically.

Yep.

Does anyone think we'll be signing anyone this window?

outside of youngsters, it's starting to look unlikely.

 

[Blue Haze]

Wow, that's a good price too. I'm surprised we weren't in for him.

If he settles into the PL that's a huge piece of the puzzle for Chelsea.

That's a fucker. Add Rooney in and they're going to be monsters again.
