Roman Abramovich has agreed to pay €34m for Axel Witsel, and has a verbal deal with Zenit director Alexander Dukov. [Corriere dello Sport].

Just get it done. Appearantlly Wtisel is the midfielder Mourinho is after, so just get it done asap.

Matić - Witsel can be solid as a rock and with great back 4 behind them all I can say is ... be afraid Europe, be afraid

I am digging this signing. Witsel- Matic- Fabregas in the big games

Although I (and I imagine most others on the forum) are judging him based on his Belgium games and his Benfica days. I hope he hasn't dropped off from those levels

Chelsea are ready to offer €34m for Axel Witsel, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Milan have also been linked with the midfielder.

Is Corriere dello Sport reliable?

Sadly no.

I would like to see both (Witsel and Aranguiz) WITH us. Witsel as replacement for Matic, and Aranguiz as replacement for Fabregas, and among them two (Wistel and Aranguiz) fighting for third place in our midfield each match when Fabregas and Matic are on our starting eleven.

Witsel to the difficult matches and to play away from the Bridge. And Aranguiz for home games or easy games. This at least initially while Aranguiz adapts to European rhythm.

It would be a perfect solution for us to reach the end of the season with enough fuel to fight for all the trophies (as far as possible in each trophy).

Witsel Matic

or Aranguiz or Witsel (as a wildcard)

Fabregas

Or Aranguiz or Oscar

Willian Hazard

or Oscar or Willian (only for emergencies)

Diego Costa

Falcao

Problems.

1.
We have to assume it, Jose will never sell Mikel.

2. Where Ramires and RLC would fit into our puzzle. For me both are untouchables.

3. If we signed him both that would greatly complicate the future of RLC this season...

Regards.

Hi Friend,

Both of them would be like a double Christmas gift, but like you mentioned it's hardly thinkable.

I don't agree on this point:

''We have to assume it, Jose will never sell Mikel.''

At the latest part of the season, when Zouma and Mikel were both on the bench, he brought in Zouma earlier than Mikel every time.

It was like the lock around 80th minute was Zouma, and then final 3-4 minutes was Mikel. Plus Zouma started to man-mark Fellaini while Mikel was also available. I had the feeling from that moment, that Mikel will be sold cause he dropped in the rankings. Yes he was coming back from an injury, but Jose always picks his #1 options whenever they are possible. For example: unfit Ramires played on RW vs Liverpool, or often the unfit Diego Costa started as striker, or Cesc playing while just coming back from an injury. The #1 lock was Mikel, but at the end of the season it was clearly Zouma. So I believe we will soon say goodbye to Mikel.

The problem with having both Aranguiz and Wistel is, how do we give minutes to RLC?

CM: Aranguiz, RLC, Ramires, Cesc,

CDM: Witsel, Matic

That's actually one too much but I'd be really happy with both.
