Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[Bagpuss]

I think if we get Witsel in for approx 16 mill that is good business. I do also think Arnautovic at the reported 12.5 would be a good aquisition and although I dont think anyone on here had seen much of Idrissa Gueye looking at his stats and how quickly Walsh seemd to have made a punt for him I think that could be good value too. I like the way that even though we have money we dont appear to be letting people pull our pants down with fees. Think if we can get Witsel over the line it could be the straw that breaks the camels back and we will suddenly become more attractive, not only to people wanting to come to us but also to those who have half an eye elsewhere (Lukaku). Has anyone got any idea why Barry wasnt in the squad yesterday?

Arnautovic signed new 4 yr contract with stoke today

Witsel situation has dragged out but I think it would be a good appointment regardless, remember Lukaku dragging out but doesn't mean we didn't want him.

Yep it looks like we may of been used for bit of money.

About half an hour ago mate.

Credit wheres it due you arent worried about sticking your neck out are you!

I've seen stories of that Raiola (or however you spell the blerts name) has been throwing a spanner in the works over the Pogba deal by demanding various payments.

I heard the hold up is because Man U and Juve are arguing about who actually pays the agent fees, the Mancs are saying Juve should pay it, and vice versa.

Hi mick how are you today,

... when in reality the footballer should be paying it!

The sport is so messed up to be honest.

He may well be, but he's pretty close on this one post

Well a broken clock is right twice a day, so he's bound to get things right once in a while.

Navel lint has about as much credibility as that guy IMO.

Supposedly 80K a week his new contract.

Question for you mate: could Witsel making his stupid floppy haired mind up and deciding to join us open the proverbial "floodgates"? Is it a possibility that other players who are umming and ahhing might see that as a good sign?

I appreciate the question is a bit unanswerable, but just wondering what your thoughts are.

It would certainly add impetus for sure, might just help.

Esk, what's the hold up mate? It's maddening this.

Complex contractual arrangements and varying demands

Is this Witsel he's talking about?

Yes, and he's totally correct in this tweet

@TheEsk has said he's been close for about 4 weeks.

We had an initial agreement 4 weeks ago, circumstances changed when on holiday and we're back, v close to concluding.

I got chills.

still hopeful we don't waste our cash on this chump

Navel lint has about as much credibility as that guy IMO.

He 100% has someone passing him 'some detailed information' occasionally - which trust me he wouldn't be able to guess at, although from briefly looking at his tweets now and again he does guess at nearly all of his posts

echo said that barry is injured, nothing about mccarthy...fuel to the fire that he is getting sold...

so witsel maybe one of a few midfielders..
