Has this hysteria overtaken the Moutinho saga now?

Not quite. For me anyway. This ain't over till it's over.

Number 28 taken by Dowell.

This is now game over man.

Oh of course, how silly of me, when a player scores goals they always do no matter whats going on around them, who they are playing with, and what the coaching style is. I mean just like Eden Hazard...errr....okay, maybe just like Wilfred bony...no, that doesnt help you either... okay maybe Christian Bente....nah...Juan Mata? Nope, also suffered under a new regime. Or maybe our own Lukaku...oh, well, theres that pesky poor scoring record without Deulofeu...

I give up. You must be wrong.

WOWSERS!

Juve linked with Luiz Gustavo now, just wish they would hurry up and sign someone (even if it is Witsel) just to put an end to this saga either way.

Any updates on this?

Apparent quotes from Zenit manager:

“I can confirm that Witsel wants to leave,” Lucescu told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “But he's a wonderful lad and he doesn't create problems or press us on this side. He's waiting. I've been a player too and I understand the situation.

“If we get a good offer, one that makes him happy as well as the club, then great. For Juventus, signing him now rather than next year means doing things in advance,” said the Coach, in reference to the fact that the player's contract expires in 2017.

“They'd be taking someone who is ready to play right away. Then again, who knows, we may be able to convince him to stay. He is always essential in every team he plays for.

“He's got character and he's a universal midfielder. He covers a lot of ground, he can play in every role in the middle of the pitch and alongside anyone. Technically he's excellent. He plays with both feet, he can cover [Claudio] Marchisio's role and at the same time give a little extra something in the attack, because he has good runs and he's strong in the box.

“In fact, I don't see any great differences right now between him and Pogba, except perhaps for their age. And in the last Euros, the Frenchman failed to adapt to new circumstances quickly, something which certainly wouldn't be a problem for Witsel.”

The direct references to Juve and Pogba kinda suggest to me Witsel has encouraged Zenit to get a deal done.

This has become like that little fridge in school who has a girl mate who everyone knows they fancy but refuse to make a move.... the 12 years later he bumps into her in town and BAM he makes a move and tried to club neck/eat her face off and confuses his undying love for her.

All about the long game here...

just seems like juve are waiting to sell pogba and then able to buy witsel, of course it might not be..

 

[tirion]

it can't still be very close, he is clearly waiting for Juve, time to move on for us.

The absence of any mention of us in the above article is very telling. Witsel knows that Juve want him and he will wait for them.

 

[Pabbers]

I can see him staying at Zenit if the Juve deal doesn't happen.

they've already spent loads of money mate, most of it from the Pogba and Morata deals
