Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

So you believe that the reports coming out of Italy stating that his Father has agreed terms with Inter on a 5 year deal are completely Jarg?

The Italian teams cannot even agree a fee with Zenit. Can his dad really agree a contract with others without getting permission from Zenit?
 
I would guess it is because the top Italian teams are a known quantity to him, whereas us, despite the stuff we know about, maybe hasnt registered as deeply as we would hope.

Or maybe, as someone said a few posts ago, he is a numpty footballer who believes everything his advisers/agent tells him.

He is not endearing himself to me. What the hell is it with Belgians?

I think it's as roydo said, we know how great of a club Everton is but from an outside perspective it might not be the same. Witsel was 6 years old in Belgium when we last won something, why would he know any of the good things about Everton? We haven't done anything in Europe in his lifetime. He'll just be seeing an English club that's finished 11th the past two seasons whose got new investment and big plans. It's up to koeman and the management to convince witsel it's a project worth being a part of.

No excuse. He can check ya history in wiki.

I'm not saying it's an excuse but it's hardly surprising if it's low on his priorities. Why would a Belgian football be arsed about what an English club accomplished 20+ years ago? Players want to play CL, compete for titles and get a high wage. We can give players a high wage thanks to moshiri but it's up to koeman to convince targets that we can compete at the highest level

There are also reports that he has another Italian agent Riccardo Napolitano who is saying that he has agreed to join Milan!!!!! WTF he now has 3 agents acting on his behalf in italy - His dad, Francesco Marseglia and now this other lid!

We should run away from this curly-haired freak asap
 
Witsel has an Italian intermediary, Marseglia who is authorised by Witsel's agent to deal exclusively for Witsel in Italy. So he's been travelling the length and breadth of Italy trying to pull deals together. Zenit would not deal with Napoli and Inter can't afford him.

No-one matched our price to Zenit and terms offered to Witsel.

So WTF is Riccardo Napolitano?
