I dont think he will start, but expect a late apperance. Should be ready for City though.

I am so happy, finally we have a quality CM player

I'd stick him straight in for United. Has the strength, athletisism and ability to absolutely boss that United midfield. Hate that old 'need time to settle in' excuse. He immediately improves our centre midfield. Him and Rami to start for me.

Absolutely!

He'll probably have one or two training sessions with us before his game on Sunday, he's had a bit of a rest - although he did play Sunday - due to the Poruguese League winter break which means he is in perfect conditions to walk into the first 11.

I can't wait to see this 6'4 beast next to Ramires in centre midfield.

Definitely wouldn't start him against Utd. We are not desperately struggling and have been playing fairly well. Most of this has been built on a defensive solidity that could well be lost if we bring in a new midfielder who may not exactly know our tactics. Plus there has to be an element of competition and when our midfielders are playing reasonably well, they shouldn't immediately be ousted.

Mikel tends to play well against Utd and Luiz was by no means bad at CM against Liverpool or Hull.

We have home games against Stoke and West Ham after Utd which are ideal games to bed Matic into the team.

Pretty much obliterated my point. I agree, I'm just excited to see him sign after being sure we were getting Guarin.

The only thing I won't want to see is Lampard in the pivot again, not with Matic, Ramires and Mikel there.
