Nemanja Matic official welcome thread - signed 3 year deal

I must say, I'm tremendously excited by all this.

He plays in the middle and I like him, just don't see him as part of the backbone. Creator in chief, though.

Balkan issues in the changing room if Perisic signs...

Given that JM has been critical of Morata and made comments about Bale with respect to their not talking hampering the possibility of getting a deal done, it seems Matic may have forced the issue at the other end to stop this dragging on further, whereas others...

He didn't force it at all.

Plus the other two play for a genuine top class club whilst Matic played for Chelsea.

Meh.

And that shirt is £#%&!ing vile.

Delighted.

Have needed a midfield destroyer/powerhouse for years, since before the dark days of Carrick-Scholes

Boring, doesn't feel good, but necessary.

Bit like paying bills or cleaning the toilet. Welcome!

Lukaku, Matic, Perisic(if it comes off), they are players who should be ready to go straight away, not an exciting trio but that instant impact is what they will be signed for. City may have to wait for it to gel, Utd with a comfortable start should be in a good position to have a crack at the title.

State of this @#%&!

Is that carrick 16?

Just £5m more than Michael Keane then.

Chill.

He comes from Serbia....

Wasn't too enthused about this signing initially but I've started to come round to thinking it could be a very good signing

At least he's not Eric Dier and should mean we see less of Fellaini

Sometimes because of his size you forget what a good footballer he is
Him and Pogba in the same midfield

Welcome Nemanja 2.0
