[zolayes 14,489]

we now have 5 players for our back 4 seems more than enough to me ,,, perhaps we should send Kouma out on loan

He was everyone's Muppet signing before joining zenith but he's stagnated considerably over the past couple of seasons. I'm not so sure he's what we need

Axel Witsel and Chelsea fail to agree personal terms

They came up with a bulshit story (that no other source followed), now trying to cover it... but either way people here will be upset: 'why couldnt we pay him enough money'.

Indeed - and as he only went there for the money (and vodka) he isn't going to be cheap!

It's a gamble and he probably lost it by demanding too much money!

Can't say I'm disappointed. Once a terrific prospect, now only an average midfielder worth no more than 15m.

Bold statement.

I don't care where he goes, whether it be Spain, Germany, England or Italy; he needs to leave that shithole so people can stop pretending they know him

Well after tonight if people dont think we need to look at our CM then theres summet wrong

Khedira had an injury AGAIN? Poor guy. Not a fan but he does not deserve 2 dangerous injuries in 2 years. Hope we don't have to play kramer, Rudy or some other player from our bang on average ( Volland, hector, bellarabi, kruse, rüdiger...lol ) next generation at the Euros.

Witsel's intermediary Napolitano: "Have Zenit's request fallen to €30m? Yes, for €30m they let him leave, but could also accept €25+bonuses. At the moment, Zenit have received no official offer for Witsel. Milan have been following him constantly while Juve's is a bit outdated. CL football is a factor in Witsel's choice? No, absolutely. He wants to play for a big club on the international level, Juve and Milan are on the same level for him."

We should be all over this if true.

Place a bid. Only appropriate player available.

[Harry Drake 2]

Would be made up if we could sign Witsel.

Great player and about to hit the peak of his career.

[oldportblue 547]

this would be amazing, would enable us to pack the midfield with witsel-matic in big games to destroy the opposing midfield, like we used to do when playing luiz there in big games... hope we put in a bid but no fresh rumors so far as far as i can tell

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Seems silly no to bolster the midfield and this isn't some pie in the sky muppet signing

[Madmax 9,219]

We're not signing a CM, forget about it. More Ramires and Mikel ... yay.
