sleazyB 58 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Could you just indulge for a minute and imagine this?Witsel M'VilaHazard Oscar MataTorres (in form)That pivot would be one of the best in football. Let's do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Really like the look of Dembele, too, the more and more I see of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atholy 1,293 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Really like the look of Dembele, too, the more and more I see of him.Dembele is pure class. He really turns away from his defense with such an ease... And what about that acceleration to set up the counter!The only thing he's lacking is scoring ability. But we have other that can do that for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenza666 221 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 can play Ramires in the double pivot...if we really want Witsel, we've got to offload Ramires can't keep them all, and Ramires won't want to be a bench warmer.anyways doubt we're going to be interested in a CM anytime this window.

Melanicus 5,208 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Great player... Would love to see him here, but I'm afraid there is no interest from our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise 45 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't think we need a center mid. Josh and De Bruyne are great talents, they will come through in the next few years. Oscar can play deep as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Is Witsel a true DM type (Bulldog/Destroyer) or more of a Modric type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Is Witsel a true DM type (Bulldog/Destroyer) or more of a Modric type?No he is neither of that. He has lot of power and stamina, but his natural position is not DM. More CM or RM/LM. He is not bulldog, but he will track the ball all over the midfield. Balanced between attack and defence and also good tackler (has improved greatly in last season). I imagine him something like Fellaini eventualy, but maybe even better. Sure he has better control over the mall, also good in jumping, but maybe not as dominant as Fellaini, but still enough. Much better than most of our midielders. He can go forward, or just stays on position and track the ball, stoping opponent to make counter attack. Definately, he could also play as RM/W (right midfield/winger), but is much better at some free role in midfield -best to describe him is box2box midfielder, similar to Rambo, but higher, better at ball control, technicaly gifted, jumping, defending, tracking, dribbling, shooting. Also more consistant and did fantastic in his first benfica season (also in CL), where he proved that he works even better with better players around and adopts to new teams quickly.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sounds like he would be a good buy but if Oscar will play the Lampard role we need a strong DM. Tiote or M'Vila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hes similar to Felliani really, can play multiple positions, has power, strength, keeps the ball well, good dribbler and can score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 His price is 31mio pound, but he might leave for about 25. Is there any slightest chance, we could afford that or is it impossible? I highly doubt he will join us anyway, but would be very important signing for the team for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 A portuguese newspaper 'Record' is claiming that Benfica is going to sell at least two top players to get out of financial problems before the end of next week. Three names has been called, Cardozo, Witsel and Javi Garcia of possible sales...Anyone knows something about this? Or is it just BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenza666 221 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 rather have Witsel over Hulk atm, we have a wealth of attacking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
