Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[Goat]

We could do with both tbh, overhaul the midfield new number 6 and 8 and give mo more games

Build the team around Mo.

i'd like him here, be dissappointed if we miss out but the calibre of player we're being linked with makes me confident whoever signs will improve our struggling midfield

We can be linked to Messi for all the good it does, until we actually get someone in, I am struggling to get caught up in the wave of overwhelming hope... except that we have a manager now who doesn't think that its worth ignoring set pieces because they don't happen very often that is.. That makes me confident of a top half finish already.

1 of the best midfielders in world football.

Welcome to Everton Axel Foley.

like i said yesterday. His overall rating is 86 on FIFA - not many have a higher rating than that.

Zenit are a pain in the arse normally to negotiate with mate, now if only we had someone who has business connections to the owners of Zenit.

oh wait didn't Usmanov - Moshiris long term business partner basically run Gazprom for a decade or so...

The best part is that the fee for Witsel in Usmanov terms is the equivalent to an average guys 10p (if that).

I'm dreaming of an Usmanov Christmas.

Absolutely no info on it, but be surprised if it wasn't a very pleasant negotiation goin gon between us and Zenit - very different to the way Russian clubs are normally to deal with, who knows maybe our Russian direcotr is the one doing the talking

What has usmanov got to do with it?

I'd imagine, him and moshiri are very close as friends so if our owner wanted his mate to give them a bell and ease a transfer through then i am sure he would do that.

Kidnapping, death threats and 'forcing their hand'....... never trust the Russians !

With that being said, the deal is 100% ON.

I know. Just trying not to tempt fate for self preservation reasons. I have a very frail ego.

I'd be surprised if we don't sign him more than if we do put it that way mate, same with Mata

 

[DaChunk]

@The Esk having read that your sources have provided transfer information on mata have you heard anything about this lad?

I know Stevie, I think these days we are all nervous that the deal could fall through - or we are not the only team in for Axel and Mata, it just makes us all write off the Napoli/ Valencia shouts as lies, and a hint of possible successful negotiation as bonafide truth.
