Interesting all these 'mercenary' shouts certain people are aiming at him.
If he was a mercenary and only interested in the money, then he'd already have signed, as we (allegedly) have offered him the best contract.

It is highly frustrating to wait for a signing, but taking off my blue tinted specs, I can see why he may be taking his time to decide.

If we want the players whose talent and ambition matches where we want to be, we have to expect that as of right now, we wont be many players first choice.

All we can offer is money and a 'project'
Sure, we expect to add european footy to that next season; When compared to Juve, they can offer champions league footy (with a not unreasonable chance of winning it) and an almost guaranteed chance of domestic silverware this season.

Until we improve our current stature, finding top players who will sign for us as their first choice may be few and far between.

Such is the culture of modern football.

Until Sept. 1st my head will remain firmly attached and I shall re-assess then :hayee:
 
AXEL!! JUVE IS THE DEVIL!!

Zenits thinking: Why would we sell him for less than we can get otherwise? We dont care where he goes, we just want the highest offer.
Juve's thinking: Why would we offer more for him, he wants to come to us, and they cant move him unless he agrees to go somewhere.
Witsel's thinking: Why wouldnt I demand to go to where I want, they have to sell me this window, or they get nothing for me, and if its 7 mill less, too bad for Zenit, as its better than 0, and Ill just threaten to not move anywhere.
Everton's thinking: We offered the most for him, stand pat, eventually Zenit has to sell to us, as we are much higher than Juve.

Itll all come down to the last week, because up until then everyone holds cards. This may likely be a standoff. Once the last week show up, either Zenit or Witsel have all of the cards. If Zenit can wait out Juve(which they want to do) so that Juve are no longer willing to wait, and buy a CM, and thus no longer have interest in Witsel, Zenit get what they want and sell him to Everton. If it gets to that point and Juve are still interested, Witsel holds the cards, as Zenit then have to choose between a lower fee, or getting 0 for him.

Ah, poker...now it's couched in terms I can understand!

So we're waiting for Juve to either call or fold. Cool. With you.
