Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[AndyZ]

Not arsed about missing out on player who has 1 year left on his contract, plays in the Russian league and who's father is already gobbing off in the press for £30m.

these Belgian dads like to talk.. wish they'd pipe down tbh.

 

[navidson]

At least we are trying

Doesn't quite have the same ring as 'Nil Satis Nisi Optimum'

4/10

I too wouldn't be fused if we miss out on him. Rather we spent £30m on William Carvalho if Koeman is after that sort of player.

Would rather he bought scherderlein. Proven in this league and is just what we need in midfield.

 

[Goat]

But wouldn't it p koeman off if he can't attract his top targets?

Im sure he knows until we get CL football its an answer hes going to hear a lot.

Carvalho is gash

Napoli can't compete with us financially

 

[Tramps_mate]

Not necessarily. Napoli and the Italian league in general are a bit crap.

And Naples is a horribly corrupt city run by the mafia..

This does make sense.. works well under Koeman, proven in the league, about £10m cheaper, etc.

It would be Champions league football they could offer though

and lets face it he would hardly be on the bread line with them.

Not sure whether that hinders or helps Napoli convince players to sign for them?

Probably does when they want to leave.

Money talks and we can blow them out the water

I think what some people overlook is the CL appearance bonus that clever players put into their contracts.

Also higher profile = bigger sponsorship.

All that adds up and more than compensates for the loss of a few K a week on a weekly.

I'm hoping people will see this when Joe Ledley outperforms him in the semi final.
