Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[zirc]

Had a fee agreed since the start of the month apparently

this is today and from di Marzio's twitter.

He still has a year left so cant do that. Only allowed within 6 months of expiry.

Not allowed even then, Russia isn't part of the eu, players can't sign pre contracts at all.

Utter charlatan.

He can, Russia and Italy are still in the EU, its only English clubs that have to wait 6months now.

Russian in eu, hmmmmmmmmm

I suspect EFC held a meeting in London on Thursday with RK voicing his concern with the lack of transfer progress thus far.
With Walsh as DOF finally settled it was agreed to take a more aggressive approach to transfers including upping the ante with Witsel by making a better offer. The Sigurdsson story was also leaked to the Telegraph to sound out an alternative but also further push a stalling Witsel.
If I'm right Witsel's agent has gone or will go back to his preferred Italian options looking for more. We'll get him if we offer significantly better terms i.e. £££.

If you listen to Walsh then it sounds as though we are going for attitudes as well as talent.

With that in mind I can see us pulling out of any deal we have with Witsel if he is just chasing money. It sounds like Walsh is going to be guttering players to be committed to the team rather than their salary.

So as it stands..... Nothing has actually changed? Our offer was accepted 3 weeks ago and now we are waiting on his decision?
