In not necessarily talking about this story, but TASS telling lies would hardly be a first, they are more of a PR agency for Putin than a news agency.

I understand that mate but it doesn't suit their cause as sellers to be claiming they're not in discussions if they were.....

Indeed, I was being silly really.. I know your didn't intend it to be, but I read you post as a suggestion that TASS are an honorable news organizations, rather than propaganda department they are......thinking about it Sky probably aren't much better.

Yeah mate because selling Witsel to Everton rather than Napoli serves the Russian Governments agenda...


Unless it is a politically motivated story - which even then is no more biased than what you see in Britain really, then TASS is one of the most reliable sources for information going, for Sport stories it has always been top notch as it doesn't go into gossip and opinion pieces just deals with actual facts and some very good articles

Well Mata knows the league, and we know what he can bring to Everton. Chances are he wont have to move and will be able to settle into Everton
reasonably quick. If we sign him it will be a big deal for Everton, a player I'm sure a lot of top teams would want.
But Witsel is just a signing and nothing to get overly carried away about.

Total guess but id imagine bigger clubs than us would want witsel over mata...sides like juve and milan have been after him the last couple of years.

We desperately need a CM, we dont have one on the books whereas we have barkley in matas position.

A chap on the peoples forum says he has heard that Zenit have agreed the deal, his agent has agreed the terms are acceptable but Witsel has his heart set on serie a.

Bit of a weird one as surely his agent would already know witsels choice and wed have already been rejected.

Certainly looks on to me!

Basically he just needs to sign when hes finished his holiday then? Any idea of the fee?

Sadly we just can't imagine what it would be like to have a media outlet like that in the UK, so don't be offended by our scepticism.
 

If you ask me, which I know you aren´t, this is simply a case of Witsel and his agent trying to have their cake and eat it too. They want maximum money, obviously, but at the same time Witsel would rather play for a club in the Champions league. So they string us along for as long as they can, hoping for a more attractive suitor with a financial package that´s as good or better than what we´re offering. Basically, it´s a case of who blinks first.
 
Quite obvious he has not signed with anyone. At all. If you ask me he is biding his time waiting for someone bigger to dangle a carrot infront of him. Plain as day
