One of the greatest difficulties is the way Witsel has structured his management/agent team. His Father is his agent, then he's appointed a number of intermediaries to represent his interests in different countries. So effectively you have a group of people authorised to act on his behalf whose interests are diametrically opposed. For example Marseglia his Italian intermediary does not want him to come to the UK as he receives no benefit from that arrangement. Hence Witsel's name appearing in every publication in Italy, linked with every club and ludicrous stories such as his wife demanding he plays in Italy.

Witsel is in danger of over-egging his pudding - does he want to have a successful career in the most visible, competitive and popular league in the world or be commoditised and sold to the highest bidder/favourite contact of an Italian intermediary?

We'll know sooner than later.

At this rate I rather our club move onto the next target. This lad is a bit annoying it does not look like he is ready to make his mind up.

I trust we have made the highest bid. Reading from these news reports, the Italian teams bid a lot less than we do. Witsel's current team won't accept a lesser fee from the Italian. That's why I believe he will eventually give in and sign for Everton.

Pretty much. We're like that fat bird who you don't want to take home, but it's getting late and you know she's easy

Nothing wrong with that mate. I always found they were more grateful

There is a simpler explanation than the one that you have proffered. Witsel has a preference for Italy, communicated this to his father, who then instructed his Italian representative to drum up as much interest there as possible.
He made very positive overtures to us to keep us in the game and drive up the potential wage.
He'll eventually choose us if we offer a significantly better wage than any Italian option. He won't if we don't.

You've got to question a player who moves to a Russian or Chinese club before their peak years.

This fella is clearly putting financial gain over career development.

Give him a deadline and move on, cant have this dragging on for weeks whilst letting other potential targets go because we are waiting on an answer.

I thought that but then if that were the case surely he would already be here now as by all accounts Napoli's personal terms didn't come close to what we are offering and I don't think any other Italian team can match it..

I'm more confused by the fact that his girlfriend must not have had much of a doubt about Russia but she doesn't want to come to England.
