Ed001, would we be able to get your thoughts on Nemanja Matic?

{Ed001's Note - good player for the way Jose likes to play. He is an excellent coach driver in front of the defence ;-)

Seriously though, it is not just the protection he gives that is key, it is his use of the ball that makes him particularly important. He does the right thing most of the time when on the ball.}

I agree, I think he's brilliant in that position and is underrated on the ball. good solid signing and a definite improvement.

For me the main thing with signing Matic, other than the fact that predictive text changes his name to Magic, will be the freedom it gives to Pogba and Herrera to go forward and cause teams problems. Matic does what he does very well, but it will be the effect on the other two in midfield, that will mean the price paid will have been well worth it.

If we can get a RB and wide player in before the season starts, we'll definitely be in contention for the league this season. And we'll also give the CL a good go too.

I think it is a great signing. Jose will use him in his best role allowing us to attack with more freedom.

Was a bit sceptical at first, but this signing has definitely grown on me, if only because it'll hopefully free Pogba up. Hope he does well. If he does anywhere near as well as our last Serb called Nemanja, he'll be alright.

I'm honestly chuffed with this signing imo we have significantly strengthened our own squad and weakened a direct opponent (only my opinion or course) I think we will see an improvement in pogba but it's Herrera where the most significant change will be seen. having the freedom to express himself I believe we will have a world class midfielder on our hands 😊.

For me it's the fact he's PL proven and top team proven so is very likely to slot straight in and not need anytime to adapt! Also having players like him allows us to take more risk going forward!

Magic signing.
