Hutcho 8,443 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Oh i think that Roman and Gazprom (owner of Zenith) are already in talks for witsel and/or Hulk for this summer window.It will depend on who will be our next manager. If Mou, i know that he is the biggest fan of witsel. He wanted him to play for real this summer before he left benfica for Zenith.I try not to be too biased, saying that he a better version of khedira with regista's assets. A mix between Khedira and Xabi alonso, he can do wonders.In fact he gives 100% like Rambo with endless stamina, but he can use his brain and he a real good passer, he was AM when 20 and played also like a winger, just like KDB right now. But Wilmots (and before for Benfica) he was tried as numb 6, the only holder DM rôle, and there he turned to be world class.I think that he can turn as good as yaya touré ASAP but with better defensive assets.@STINGRAY Plz Correct me if i'm wrong? xD @HUTCHO Plz correct my spelling You really don't want me correcting your spelling. lol. mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Someone tell me more about Witsel. Is he the playmaker for the 'pivot'? Or is he the one who'd typically partner the playmaker and win the ball back lots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i haven't seen loads of him, so am willing to bow to others with a greater knowledge on the witsel front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt mean he cant create though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think a bit like khedira but better passing. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I never saw Witsel as DM. He is playing along Dembele/Fellaini in belgium, Denisev in zenit and played with Javi Garcia at Benfica. He always looked like CM who needs a dm along him to cover up. But he can defend too, thats for sure. Similar to Xabi who needs Khedira along. Thats why I mentioned Gundogan. He is great at intercepting and tracking back, real worker. Witsel is ball winner too and both would complement each other perfect. For example United have Carrick-Cleverley in pivot and you can see how fantastic their attack support is. But at same time their defence doesnt realy hurt.

Not a proper playmaker though. Tbh, i am not too sure, he is perfectly suited to our pivot, though it would greatly depend who is alongside him.

mediator 2,026 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Gundogan-witsel would be some pivot ,one can dream but you never know with uncle roman . You don't need to have Gundogan if we have Witsel in our Double pivot, Oscar or KDB can be the skilled regista near him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Someone tell me more about Witsel. Is he the playmaker for the 'pivot'? Or is he the one who'd typically partner the playmaker and win the ball back lots?He's not really a playmaker. He can pass the ball well, loads of stamina, good in tight spaces, he can play his way out of difficult situations, very technical, good positional awareness and he's strong on the ball but he doesn't have the long range passing required of a DLP. He's kind of a mixture between a DM and a DLP. I'd put him next to a DLP and play him as the more defensive player.This campagne he's played on the 6 for Belgium next to Dembele and he's been really great.A Gundogan-Witsel midfield would be faptacular.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 A midfield of Capoue and Modric/Moutinho would be much better, no comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 OUT: Torres (10mi), Marin (5mi), Malouda, Benayoon, Kakuta (2mi), Lampard, Essien (5mi), Mikel (10mi) and Ferreira.IN: Cavani (35mi), KDB, Schurrle (20mi), Moutinho (20mi), Capoue (10mi) and CB (15mi).LOANS: Lukaku, Piazon, Josh, Chabolah, Etc...--------------------------------------------------TOTAL: 75mi.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Mister Geoffrey Kondogbia, 20yrs old, 188cm tall, French DM who plays for Sevilla is fast becoming one of their best players. If we are going after DM, this guy wouldnt be bad choice at all. Quite cheap, but there are reports that he might go to Real in the summer. His contract expires in 2014, so...
