An odd signing by Jose or maybe not. Don't rate him that highly

 

[The blue phantom]

I had same with my wife's brother, £100 to charity that we finish above them. Wouldn't have it, so I same bet that Everton would finish above them
and he took it! He's been a season ticket holder for over 25 years, still a knob.

To be fair I wouldn't take the bet if I was a rag.

Matic is a Mourinho yes man and thats the only reason he has signed him, that and the fact he cant attract anyone else decent.

well Matic is alright but £50 mill for a 29 year static DM is crazy. They could have gone for Bakayoko for that price a far far better midfielder than any of the current squad for £10 mill less. Very funny though

Yeah, but some clubs are "overpaying".

No chance Everton will finish above them. While the vermin's squad isn't outstanding, it is significantly better than the blue Mickeys. And then, of course, there are the favourable refereeing decisions that they continue to get. They must be worth 10 (?) points over the season.

Still, at least your money will be going to a worthy cause!

By the way; re. your wife. You know the drill. Tick tock, and all that!

Matic used to be good but past two seasons he has been no better than average and getting progressively worse. The fact Chelsea are managing to sell a player they dont even want for £50m having already signed a younger better replacement with £10m to spare is pretty funny.

He will probably be a nuisance when they park the bus but against 90% of the teams in the league he provides nothing more than your average PL midfielder which is where the rags shit football holds them back.

Quite funny, but also FFS. What have Chelsea got on everyone that allows them to sell average players they don't want for what most other teams get for world class players they don't want to sell?

 

[BigOscar]

Hasn't he just made Carrick captain? Then signs Matic for £40m, presumably Pogbad will be in the team and Herrera is considered their best midfielder. So is he just planning on having his captain sit on the bench? As I seem to recall them never playing well without him in the team last year?

over paying again by united and jose comes out and says the market is daft and clubs spending can not sustain spending over profit they make
well jose take a look at the debt and add £50million to the £650million debt sustain or not somebody going to have to pay that debt in the long term it will not just go away
