Chelsea? 892 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He's hardly struggling to pay the bills. Obviously if i was offered a job from getting £200 a week to £400 a week, i'd have to accept it to make my life easier. Going from i dunno... £50k a week to £100k a week is hardly the same. I heard Wallcott wants £100k a week at Arsenal as £75k a week isn't good enough. Fuck sake, £2k a week is good enough in my world.maybe he wants the money to take care of an entire village. U can't use your financial expectations on someone else's. It would be dumb to put a company's interest ahead of your own and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jips 18 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The Russia league is now already better then the French one, and will surpass the Italian in the next years. They have a huge market potential, and the oil gars to back them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 How are these rich Russian teams going to comply with FFP? No way they make anywhere near the money they are spending.FFP has an article saying that an european club can not be suspended if their financial status is improving, even if they fail to record losses lower than €45m (valid until 2015 or 2017, dont remember). So you can expect a lot of clubs spending this and the next year to fit in this particular rule for future seasons...There is always a breach!

Mundaka 243 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If we are going to get another Belgian, it shouldnt be fellaini (great player but we have Mikel already and those 2 together wont work in my opinion) but Witsel. First of all Witsel works great in pivot with a player like Mikel (he played with Defour like that at standard liege) + hes one of the best on that position - pretty sure he can become a more complete midfielder than yaya toure fe. (just a bit less physical than both him and fellaini, but more than enough for us and with mikel next to him)Now i know Zenit Saint Petersburg bought him for 40M from Benfica this year, but he is not playing that well there as he did last year with Befinca when Mourinho wanted him @ Madrid - he destroyed manu midfield in the champions league - + i doubt he likes it that much in russia... . For that reason, i think, if we offer +/- same amount for him to Zenith as they payed to Benfica we can get him.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmOp1U6J5IQ (if you dont know him... turn off sound tho)Also to give you an idea, he was MOM in 1 of the ties against manchester united (they drew twice in CL) and real madrid(friendly tho) last year.So we can play like this:Witsel-MikelOscar-Mata-HazardBa/LukakuDiscuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukakutoStamford 779 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Would love Witsel here and I'm not surprised he's not playing well as Russia is not friendly towards people of color not to mention the pressure of living up to his unwieldly contract.

Beepu 1,714 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Really too bad he moved with such a huge price tag, the upside is he doesnt look settled there and maybe zenit would have to let go of witsel and hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I honestly dont think the Russians will let him go for less than what they paid ...Doubt it too and he's not worth anything near that. He's probably around a 20-25M Euro sort of player but he's also probably on massive wages. Zenit is actually worse this year with Hulk and Witsel than they were last season.

Somehow I think there's a lack of motivation, seeing as their own fans think they're monkeys.Benfica -> Zenith, idiotic move. Weird thing is I don't see Witsel as a player who does it for the money, on the contrary really. Don't know what he was thinking.Very, very underrated too. Would have him in my team over Fellaini any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
