Nemanja Matic is in London and set to undergo a medical with Chelsea ahead of a proposed £21m return to the club.

 

 

Matic has now confirmed that the weekend win over Porto was his last game and told A Bola: "The game against FC Porto was my last game for Benfica.

 

"I want to thank everyone at the club and all the fans. Benfica will forever be in my heart.

 

"I played here for two-and-a-half years, gave my best at every training session, and now it is the right moment to leave.

 

"I want to improve, I want to play in a better league and I want to go to Chelsea, a club I also love.

 

"I would also like to thank Benfica's president, he did everything he could to keep me, but I wanted to leave.

 

"I insisted on leaving because I think this is the right moment."

 

 

Sold him for £3m. Now buying him back for £21m after 3 years. 3wowTCQ.gif3wowTCQ.gif3wowTCQ.gif

F**k yes

Hoping glory days of Milan will be back.

 

Dat Dangerous Milan :O

We have a very strong squad with lots of good players. But under Allegri's tactics we fail horribly. Even teams like Sassuolo outplayed us. Every coach by now knows all the tactics (or lack thereof) Allegri employs. I am not sure how Seedorf as a manager is going to be (I thought they'd promote Inzaghi from primavera, specially coz he's doing a good job there) but I am certain he can still do a better job than Allegri. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against him, in fact I feel for the guy, but I guess he's just not good enough to manage a club like Milan. Last season EL92 kept our season afloat. And before that it was Ibra and co. But this season is a disaster.

 

Anyway best of luck to Seedorf and Milan. Forza Rossoneri!! :thumbsup:

And I think it's Luiz or Mata who are heading for exit. :/

luiz seems fine imo, he's had a few good games recently and don't think jose has that much of a disagreement with him

imo mata should leave chelsea........staying in chelsea and staying on the bench all the time puts his club career+international team career in jeopardy

As always, Logic eludes your post .. :doh:

yep.

yep again. Luiz will stay, Jose seems fine with him. Mata will most likely leave, and he should. I'd hate to see him go in his prime but Jose doesnt just see him fit in his plans. What kind of asinine plans are those that cant feature Juan freakin Mata in them, is beyond me.. I just hope gaffer knows what he is doing.

 

Mata should be heading where he gets ample play time. Dude is amazing.

it's supposedly due to his lack of defensive abilities.

 

I would personally hate to see him leave. Even though leaving would be best for him since any other club would give him more game time. And rumors are that Napoli wants him. That'll be friggin big signing for them. But I hope he stays. He said he wants to. He HAS to adapt.

Mata is great player but i will prefer Oscar over mata anyday as no 10. Mata doesnt contribute in defence as much as oscar and he is not as fast as oscar.

and Mourinho wants mata to play on wings and mata needs to adapt .

Mata to Manutd? Possible? I know Chelsea will not be willing to strengthen their rivals but this is still a possibility. Mata + Rooney + RVP!

 

 

make that a swap between mata and rooney (ie rooney coming to chelsea) and bob's your uncle !
