What really worries me is not just the Witsel situation, but all are transfer as a whole. Why are they all taking so long.
Kouliboly - could end up at Chelsea.
Witsel - could end up at Juventus
Carvalho - haven't heard nothing.
Mata - looks like he's staying put.
Begovic - chelsea haven't even been looking at a keeper.
Have we really been waiting to sell Stones to Buy. And if so things really haven't changed.
Look at the clubs you mention, the clubs we are "competing" with for players.
Chelsea, United, Juve.
And ask yourself, if you were these players, would you wait and try and get a move to a team that wins Titles, normally competes in the CL or join Everton, a trophyless club for the last 20+ years who have finished 11th for 2 seasons.
Thats why its taking so long, these players want to join the cream of football rather than us.
Do you blame them?
