I thought he did great
I think while he is not a world beater he will make the team extremely effective and more versatile. I love this signing. Whil epl is buyin lemina for 20 mil we bought a veteran experienced in cl and on the international stage that has played with and against the highest level players.

The thing is, for some weird reason , he was massively underrated in this forum. Offcourse he is good, guy has been a regular at The national team. ( To put it into pperspective, We had freaking Lemina and Rincon at backup last season ffs)
This is a massive upgrade.
If i could choose i obviously would have taken verratti instead, but Blaise is a great investment, nevertheless!
He is a kind of a toolbox midfield player and does his job without a fuzz. Every succesfull team has one ( Casemiro, Kante) , so glad we got our very own.

So, i dont understand one thing. Matuidi came on a Thursday, came on as a sub on Saturday. Costa has been with us for a month now, same as Bernandeschi and they have played like 40 minutes in total so far combined. Was the situation in that CM position so desperate that we had to play a player that came two days ago or is Matuidi some sort of a genius that managed to gel into the team in 24 hours and Costa and Berna are retards?
Matuidi is a player that I always thought was never too fancy but is so effective on a team. I mean PSG could have used so many tactical setup, same with the French NT, but he was always there to make the team more effective. I hope he can be just that way for us, effective, both in defense and offense. All I know is that he will not stop running, unlike Sami has been for us in 2017!
I think it's because of the right hand side, Khedira as RCM and Licht/MDS/Barzagli as RB's is a pretty fragile set-up and our opponents constantly try to use that. It's logical that Allegri doesn't want to throw in Costa/Berna instead of Cuads, because right side is under a lot of pressure defensively, not the best circumstances for a newbie to prove himself.
Putting Matuidi on actually helps to take some pressure off our defense, since the guy is a very good ball-winner. Once he's ready to start and rock that midfield, maybe Allegri will be ready to bench Cuads. He'll never bench Mandžukič though, he's been his favorite from day 1.
