Nic!

but a footnote to what I actually wrote... My phone sucks.

We are obviously disagreeing on Ramires as a footballer. And i dont think the CMs i mentioned are only "refreshers", i think every one of them will make us better in the big games.

This is going nowhere so lets leave it here.

Better in some areas not all. We will be lacking goals, pace and counter attacking awareness(although Ramires seems to always look to get forward)

Agree to disagree though, I think Jose loves Ramires and it will take some doing to supplant him in his role at the club.

Milan win Witsel race

Chelsea appear to have lost out on Axel Witsel, with the Zenit midfielder on the verge of joining AC Milan. Manchester United were also interested in the Belgian, who is set for a £21 million move to San Siro.

We shouldn't be losing out to a pensioners club with no European football

In other words: "Chelsea never wanted to sign Witsel but their name was thrown into the mix to raise the price and get clicks for sports websites"

Went for the money originally (Garay, Hulk as well), but the Milan deal isn't official, is it?

The Zenit move I get is money, but Milan? Yeah it's not official, but there's a lot of talk that seems to validate it. If that transpires then you've got to ask, where's the giants chasing him?

He's gone downhill since he left Benfica. However, I'm personally surprised more clubs aren't after him for £18-20m.

That's why I doubted people when they said he's the best in his position in the world.. Particularly when he's applying his trade in Russia.

Anyway, interesting to see what happens with MvG now.

He's far from the best in his position now, but he was promising along to several other Belgian players.

I doubt MvG has a future with us. Wouldn't be surprised if we cashed in this summer.

Seems like all of the "good" tier CM's are being snatched up one by one. Kondogbia, Witsel, Imbula and Schneiderlin very soon.

Unless we get a world class player like Pogba, at this rate there won't be anyone of quality left and we'll be stuck with Mikel for another season.

Ah I see. How old is Witsel now, you think he can back a come back at Milan?

He's 26. I think it's a good move for him, as Milan are aiming to rebuild like their city rivals after a few disappointing seasons. I can see him improving in a better league, but I doubt he'll get the big move he was once destined for.
