Can't believe it's only a 3 year deal, for a £35m-£45m expenditure. Amortised thats £12m-£15m a year. That makes this deal pretty expensive!

However, it's also like saying we believe in you but only for a couple of seasons and then you're gone.

Cue an evening of Matic being hailed as a hybrid of Messi/TFR on SSN.

Or, the money men don't want to be lumbered with him for 3 years after Mourinho has gone

A 3 year deal seems short but if he's on good wages and has limitations outside of Mourinho's 'style' of play, then they might be happy for him to walk out the door in 3 years that put him on a 5 year deal when he won't be needed for 3 and a half of those 5 years

How is it Chelsea get 40 million for a player they don't want......

We just get lumbered with clowns like bono forever

Their signings are really underwhelming, especially when you consider they were in for Griezman, Bale, CR7 et al

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Their midfield 3 will of Pogba Matic and Herrera will be very difficult to play through. United will be a complete Mourinho side, defensively sound, physical midfield and wide men for creativity playing around a target man. They will also be a very tall side. Could be a Stoke team with better footballers.

Apparently he can play in a number of roles and gives United big flexibility according to Darren Gough!

Oh I don't doubt that, says a lot for Mourinho and his style as well though. Don't want to be lumbered with Mourinho type players that nobody (new manager) will want once Mourinho is gone!

He's already been likened to Keane by the Yorkshire simpleton.
