Careless Spending by Chelsea FC
Nemanja Matic was traded to Benfica FC in 2001; plus Chelsea FC gave 23.5 million pound to the Portuguese club to acquire David Luiz, in return.

Now let us fast-forward to today.
Nemanja Matic is re-acquired from Benfica FC for a sum of 22 million pounds.
Mr Matic has been voted the 'Portuguese player' of the year for 2013; but this reason should not stop us spectators to question this 'trade'.
Is this careless spending by the London based football club?
The questions that could be asked are:
- why was this player not kept at Chelsea FC previously?
- did the 'coaching staff' not see the potential of this player?
- is a 'midfielder' worth this much money, when there are quality players available for 1/3 the cost of this 'trade'.
- does Chelsea FC not feel embarrassed about this trade?

I am very happy that 'Chelsea Coaching Staff' and particularly the Coach, Mr Jose Mourinho is not a 'financial analyst' for my 'portfolio' or my 'country'.
Good luck to Mr Matic at his old/new club, he is a good player, and I hope he keeps 'embarrassing' the 'Chelsea FC Coaching Staff'.
Sincerely.
