Witsel joining Cavani and co as a list of names we'll always be 'linked to and never signed'.

Could've done with him 3-4 years ago, but not now. Shame he wasted so many crucial years of development in an inferior league for a few extra thousand a week. He could've gone on to bigger and better things.

I'd rather we went for Kante than anyone else. Younger and more potential.

Linked with witsel sign him up he would be a huge upgrade from Mikel

Bad news if we have moved from Nainggolan as he is the type of player I want to see here. As for Witsel, his name always seems to come popping up every year, and to be honest I really do not rate him.

But hey ho!

Tbh, i wouldn't see him as a B2B signing. But a replacement for Mikel and Matic. He's positionally sound, much better technically than Matic, and his form above all is consistent. For 20 million he's the perfect DM and he would be an immediate upgrade for current Mikel and Matic. Remember, Wilmots prefers Witsel above Dembele and Naingollan if held at gunpoint. Sign him i would say, and get a proper B2B to play alongside him!

Do not get why this guy gets talked about? Does zip for me tbh. Very unimpressed by this

Why are Chelsea insisting that our midfield purchase is a Belgian? Surely there must be other midfielders out there that are better and younger.

Exactly. Get, if possible, Kante+Carvalho. Use Kante as b2b even if he's more of a dm, vastly better than belgian afroman mk2.
Alternatively get Allan from Napoli.

I don't think William Carvalho is any better than Matic and doesn't offer anything different than him to be honest. 

We should buy Kante and play him in his best position (DM) and buy an actual B2B midfielder like Nainggolan, Witsel, or Gomes.

Yes, I know and I agree with the sentiment fully.
But if our b2b is going to be Witsel then I reckon we'd have more benefits from playing Kante there, with Carvalho rotating with Matic. I would take Gomes, but for 42 mill? No way, and he wouldn't completely fix our long running midfield problems.
I fear with Witsel we would make very little progress in quality.

Witsel is tailor made for Conte.
