Man like Hazard doing the ting too. Will watch the full match once I'm out of this wretched library. #Revision.
Good Evening.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts regarding next weeks fixture at Stamford Bridge. Presumably given how bad Manchester United are, you'll be expecting a comfortable win?
Need a striker. Don't understand why we would need another midfielder.
Our CM/DM isn't good enough; Lampard is aging, MVG is an unknown, young, and been injured all season, Essien is past it and Luiz playing there leaves us short at CB. Ramires and Mikel are okay, but not really good enough - they wouldn't start for City/Arsenal/Bayern/Madrid etc.
A top striker would probably have a bigger immediate impact but there's literally no one available.
Odds of Matic joining us in January are 1/3. I'm guessing there's something we don't know going on behind the scenes that might be engineering a move to us.

Matic will play against FC Porto today, but shall join Chelsea after it. #Benfica #classico
Supposedly this guy is pretty reliable and in the know when it comes to the Portuguese league, don't quote me on it though . Tuesday is being thrown around as a possible day for him joining us.
How good is he? What midfielders in the league currently would you say he's on the level of
We exchanged him + cash for David Luiz a few years back. He's been compared to Yaya Toure due to his physical presence (he's 6ft 4), but probably not quite on his level yet, but at 25 he has plenty of time to improve. Good workrate, passing (not Pirlo/Alonso esque but he can pick a pass), tackling and he's very athletic. Him and Ramires would be a fantastic combination. This article is quite a good look at him (I've essentially just summarised it ).
Meh, we've done this for all the positions that actually needed filling, buying 50m for Torres while Sturridge was getting goals week in week out for Bolton, then we're doing the exact same thing with Lukaku. Didn't know too much about Matic bar FM, was a beast but then again Jonjo Shelvey was the best midfielder in the game by far for my side.
At least Torres is scoring goals, no doubt he'll go back to being anonymous though,
Apparently he's the fittest he's ever been in his life, and he's hardly had a chance to prove himself here, but he definitely proved himself in the Bundesliga. 18m for someone of his obvious talent is pretty fair in January.
