Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[EFCccc]

Said it when we initially showed interest, he's not going to improve us a whole lot.

If we pay £15mill then he's worth taking, but at £30mill I think there are much better players around.

It's a swerve for me

Its €30m. And he will improve a team a lot.

He would be an upgrade on McCarthy il give u that on. But 30mill euros??!

I'm just about old enough to remember the win in 87 & very very early memories of 84 (although probably due to oft used VHS tape recorded from TV)
I could understand the waiting till last minute under the kenwrIght era as we were poor. Surely there's benefit of bringing the big players in early, build up the hype preseason and start well? Thought we were rich?

Not worth it. Anyone who has ended up in Russia, esp at early or prime age suggests something to me. His heart is in the financial side of football and not really in the game itself. Mercenary in my opinion .

It's only my opinion mind. He may prove me wrong.

At the time Russia was trying to make itself the next big thing in football, was a lot of money there at the time.

Think he's good myself, runs games for Belgium while keeping dembele out who imo was one of the best midfielders in the league last year. Miles better than anyone we have in there atm.

Not arsed on price, 25 mil isn't too bad for an international midfielder in today's game

 

[Stutheblue]

He's far from worth waiting for. If he's top class do you think he'd have spent his whole playing career in Belgium, Portugal and Russia? We should have ended our interest in him weeks ago! In my view this situation is a complete joke. Move on.

Yes, it's gone on far too long. Won't be too disappointed if we don't get him, especially if we bring someone else in soon. But if we do, we do.

If he was a mercenary he would have signed for us weeks ago, it's fairly well established that we've offered the most lucrative contract to him, even all the Italian have said that none of their clubs can get close to the contract we have offered. That's pretty much the exact opposite of mercenary behaviour.

Would 25 million be an issue if he wasn't in the last year of his contract?

Seeing as though 25 million buys you Henderson lallana level players right now from an English club?

Wanyama was £11mill in last year of contract. Can't see why witsel should be costing us more than double?

What a mess.

The only mess is people regurgitating the same thing for hundreds and hundreds of pages. It's as if some people are paid to type. You don't HAVE to type.

There is no mess at the club, only progress and far better future ahead. The rest is in your mind.
