The Mak 4,459 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,187 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 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!

Yeboii 1,844 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Why are Chelsea insisting that our midfield purchase is a Belgian? Surely there must be other midfielders out there that are better and younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Kante as b2b even if he's more of a dm, vastly better than belgian afroman mk2. Alternatively get Allan from Napoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Captain Ahmed 528 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Axel Witsel:Chelsea closing in on Belgian Enforcer? Quote Reports are circulating that Chelsea have turned their attentions to Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel as they look to bolster their options ahead of next season.Having been linked with Witsel’s compatriot Radja Nainngolan for much of the summer, it has emerged that a third bid of as much as £33 million for the AS Roma star was rejected this week – leaving the Stamford Bridge hierarchy with little option but to look elsewhere for midfield options. Everton are also interested in the midfielder, who joined Zenit St-Petersburg from Benfica for a hefty fee back – around £32 million – in 2012. “An ideal fit” The Belgian played a starring role in Zenit’s Russian Cup victory over CSKA Moscow back in May, and would certainly bring a more dynamic box-to-box energy that current midfield options in Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas and John Mikel Obi do not possess.It was rumoured that, prior to his move to Zenit, the Blues had been interested in Witsel back in the summer of 2012. Then-Chelsea midfield star, and former Benfica team-mate of Witsel, Ramires said that the Belgian would be ‘an ideal fit’ for a Premier League side.With our recommendation of best betting apps, you can have your say on how the Blues will fare under Antonio Conte next season.
