Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

Not open for further replies.

I've never really been into computer games but I loved Streets of Rage 2. You'd have loads of lids coming at you with knives, so you'd just pick up a drain pipe off the floor and whack them around the head with it lol


Mrs Stony was in labour whilst playing Streets of Rage 2. She was swearing like a docker in-between the contractions and taking all her anger out on the game. She never got past the level in the lift and always blamed me for taking her to the maternity unit too soon.
 
This is probably worth a mention... Got talking to a lad tonight in the bar, he's a mate of James McCarthy's, and before anyone calls jarg, I didn't believe him at first, until he showed me pictures of them together etc... anyway, he said that James told him that he doesn't think we'll get Witsel as Koeman's preferred choice is Morgan Schneiderlin, he reckons that's who'll we'll land instead. Now I don't know how much James McCarthy would know about transfers etc but I'm sure he has some clue about plans etc, maybe we are getting both and he just hasn't heard anything concrete about Witsel or we've been knocked back for Schneiderlin... Personally I'd prefer Schneiderlin over Witsel.

He did say that McCarthy told him Mata is more or less a done deal which backs up what @The Esk has been saying.

He also told me that Mccarthy doesn't believe his position to be under threat and reckons whoever we buy as a CM will be Barry's replacement, and he said all the lads are happy to be working under Koeman and everyone is relieved to be rid of Martinez and already the training is better as apparently Martinez didn't do anything fitness related and didn't work on set pieces etc, basically he ignored a lot of the essentials when it came to training. He mentioned how the whole dressing room had more or less had enough and turned against Martinez with Jags apparently leading a revolt where the whole team turned on the manager at half time during the FA Cup semi final, and Baines who is the quiet one had constant run ins with Martinez.

I didn't get the chance before he left to ask him about Stones and whether he's staying or leaving or about anything else and I know we know most of this stuff already but I just thought it worth sharing since its coming from a players mouth and backs up what people are saying already like the Esk etc.

Chances are I'll probably never bump into the lad again but it made for interesting conversation.

Bollocks.

Not having a pop at you personally mate but that's one steaming puddle of attention seeking fanny juice that lad has chatted there.
 
I'm getting the impression he's a bad tit. We should sign him just to flex our new financial muscle and then loan him to Tranmere.
He doesn't look as though he's desperate to join us does it. Using our interest to encourage other teams to bid for him. Let's hope we're wrong.

Haha ya made me chuckle there! I don't take any offence mate, I'm just passing on what I was told, the lad does know James, he proved it like after I initially didn't believe him and he seemed genuine in what he was saying. But you could be right and the lad, after a few ales, could be using the fact that Mccarthy is his mate to make up stories for attention or something. Some of the things he said have been said by the Esk on here too though, the rest might rightly be jarg though.

Seriously, that was an hilarious post mate ;)
 
Sounds about right - not having it that Koeman has confided the progress and intentions of the club's transfer dealings in James McCarthy.
I don't believe that the players are informed of the comings and goings inside the club.
