Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[bluestevon]

Other option is that the player has just left everything in the hands of his agents/representitives and is blissfully unaware of all the Everton angts on these forums and when it's all settled will just go to where his primary agent (his dad) says to go.

 

[ijjysmith]

He clearly isn't committed to Everton. I'd much rather have someone excited to be here instead of a player using us as a last resort.

How do you know? Have you spoken to him?

 

[Stan Lee Park]

He doesn't look that good anyway. Much rather have Big William Carvalho.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

please lock this NOTHINGNESS thread.

theres absolutely nothing to see here, please move away.

400 pages again.. jeez

 

[bluestevon]

We should just stop pursuing this guy and let him go back to Zenit... at this point he deserves it.

Aye lets punish him by sending him back to a club thats got a decent shot at winning the league every season - punish him by making him play int that pesky CL tournament and make him live in the hellhole that is St Petersburg (one of the most beautiful cities in the world), that will teach the lad wont it !

I'm guessing the answer is he hasn't mate, in addition i would add he is getting great satisfaction at being outraged that a player is actually taking his time over probably the most important decision he will make in his career.

We are hoping to buy high profile ambitious players who are good enough and want to be playing champions league football. We can not offer that right now, but we can offer money. I am sure players like McGeady would not delay if offered a decent deal to play for us.

Of course not, but it seems fairly clear. As far as we know, Everton are the only club offering Zenit the deal they want, yet he hasn't signed, and continues to agree to deals with Italian clubs.

We'll never know for sure, but the perception me (and many other fans) are having is that Witsel isn't very interested in being an Evertonian.

Exactly. The badly uneducated perception of people who have no idea how football works.

You may well be right, but it stinks of sour grapes.

This lad bores me to tears and he hasn't even threw in a performance yet .

Love the persistence but we have Spurs in a few weeks or so

 

[Titus Bramble]

Can't believe he's weighing up any options he may have rather than flying into John Lennon airport straight from his holiday

Over 3 weeks, so we have plenty of time.

Why are people finding it difficult to understand why Witsel may be holding out for a bigger club?

To all of us, we may well be one of the biggest clubs in England, historically.

To Axel Witsel (or a lot of other modern players) we're likely just an average premier league side who've got a lot of money now.

I'd be more likely to call him a mercenary if he'd accepted our rumoured big offer immediately.

As will be the case with most high profile players we can now target, it's going to take a lot of persuasion and belief in our "project" in order to get them to join us, as to them it will be based on our potential and ambition for the future as opposed to our history.

He will be announced on Friday, with other signings.

What could I do to justify such 'punishment'?
