Thiago Motta and Matic aren't even the same type of player. Thiago Motta has a solid passing game, and used to be the one to dictate the tempo of play. He is more than just a destroyer DM.

Whatever suits you better mate. Seems you only believe what you like to hear.
It's an honest opinion coming from somebody that has watched Matic play week in week out for the past two seasons and in spite of what you think and all the "talk Matic down" bullshit I did not say anything about Bakayoko being a better player, not compare the two of them.
Matic is actually a decent player that personally I would keep hold of as a backup player. But this is not possible - he does not want to be on the bench and the club would prefer to sell him now, rather than wait one more season and let him go on the cheap. A 30 yo Matic with one year left on his contract would probably be worth around 20M, maybe less if he stays put at Chelsea this season and gets little playing time.

If he comes here he will definitely be hated by some. Exactly the kind of player that people like to blame.
Three man midfield and you get a solid player. Two man midfield you'd get dominated against big clubs and you'd lack distribution, forwards would find it hard to receive balls unless they drop deep.
Matic thrives with two quality centre midfielders next to him. Would protect the backline and do the simple things.
One of his best matches in a Chelsea top IMHO. It's three and a half years ago, not the same player anymore, he was 25 and unfortunately age comes to us all, especially to football players who rely on pace and work rate in their early 20s.
Yaya Toure was a powerhouse at that point, Matic went to the Etihad and destroyed him.

I wish I had 1/10th of his wealth. The dude is fucking cool, and doesn't give two shits about what people think
