Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[sageyefc]

How many passes forward?

That not his job

 

[mightymoyes]

Yeah, i think we dont need all of them! McCarthy is probably the one that stands out then possibly Barry & Besic.
I cant see him selling Cleverley as he has only been here a year

barry might go if hes told he wont be a regular, im sure he wants regular football in his last couple of years.
cleverley would be my first choice out the door then gibson.

Blag account, aka some spotty meff who's never seen a female breast sat in his parents' dungeon on his laptop mimicking journalists and putting stuff on Twitter for bantz and mega LOLZ

Passing the responsibility then?

 

[RFUS]

Has the most interceptions, aerial balls won and blocks at the euros. Keeps the likes of dembele out of the team and widely regarded by most people that watch them regularly as one of belgiums most important player

He keeps felli and dembele out of the side. That's all you need to know. Felli is a quality player no matter what anyone says and he performs better for Belgium than United. Dembele was one of the prem's best midfielders last season.

He's a quality player. Not sure he's a £30m million player, if that's even what we're paying, but in this financial climate trying to ascertain what is good value is very difficult.

Centre mids galore!!!
Gibbo, McCarthy, Barry, Besic, Cleverley, Witsel, Barkley, plus another

Poor Tom Davies best be asking for a loan

Signing another very good quality centre mid will have zero impact on Davies mate

It would be about improving the starting 11 from a very average one in the centre (at best) to a good one.

Bring in a much better player and then get shut of ones who have shown themselves not good enough or too limited, Cleverley, McCarhty, and Barry needs to phased out going onwards, as for Gibson - he won't play hardly at all mate

How do you think if we sign Witsel and another that it will harm Davies though

 

[Petit]

Nothing really strange about that Greg, considering you're the primary Everton correspondent for Liverpools largest newspaper. If anything I'm surprised you don't have more insight into Everton transfer activities.

In terms of playing centre mid, Davies is ahead of Gibson, McCarthy and Cleverley as far as I'm concerned.

 

[sageyefc]

How many passes forward?

73% of his passes where forward passes and he had a pass success rate of 93%

 

[Raino85]

Yeah agree with you there re:Clevz n Gibbo, thing is with this home grown rule, players over 21 who have come through english acadamies are value to our squad as we dont have many, i reckon thats why gibbo got offered a new deal, to fill our quota.
So we could be looking at Mccarthy & Besic

Witsel might snap him in training

I'd like you to pick the team please

 

[bluestevon]

Agree with this pal!
If you look at how west ham go about making signings compared to your theory is 2 completely different ways.
You have David Gold & Sullivan telling the world and his wife that they are in for this player and that player left right and centre, then you have sullivans virgin son wanting to be loved letting people know the in's and outs of there transfer dealings.
So far this summer they have looked abit silly in there search for a striker as a host of bids have been turned down etc and they may get there fans hopes up "were getting batsuayi/lakazette etc" and end up with Carroll again, that can become demoralising.

But then again........what happens if this mata deal isnt on, and we end up resigning Ossie

think the word your looking for is professionalism mate, we are acting that way, West Ham aren't, the only way you can ever get away with being unprofessional and succeed doing it is if you are so much bigger than the rest (Madrid, Barca etc)

Just getting this in early if we sign him and he does his ACL in the first game "Broken Axel"
