Axel Witsel

[Pizy 17,860]

If he's a compliment to Kante I'd be fine with it. If it's instead of Kante not so much.

I like him as a player but if he's our only midfield signing...yikes.

witsel to replace mikel

kante to replace ramires

Thank God it's The Sun

Take with a truck of salt from The Sun. Was a link the other day from dimarzio though......

Said it before I think the guy is slow for our counter attack. 

But I seen that Conte is able to bring back players from the dead zone. And that's what Axel has been for the past few years at Russia. 

If this is Conte desire then so be it. 

And besides can't be any worse then Mikel?

He might not be worse, but signing him would be £30m down the drain. Not a worthwhile transfer.

100x better than Mikel, so a pretty good rotation/first team option. One more CM if we keep Matic, or two more if not.

[Cosmin 2,484]

You only pay more than 28m for a rotation player if you are stupid as hell. I really hope we don't sign him. The only Belgian player that I would like to join us (except for Bats) is Nainggolan.

so are we going to change our name to Bluegium FC

This signing would have Conte written all over it.

Wouldn't it. 

Wouldn't it?

No. It wouldn't.

Who's messing with our transfer targets again?

Maybe he's trying to turn us into Juve...

If our objective for the midfield area is to replace Mikel with someone slightly better, Lord help us.

Witsel is a good

Player he is much better than Mikel and Conte is buying him as a starter.

Witsel would be a good buy, at least he won't screw up like Mikel.
