Krul would be brilliant as a backup /competition.

Witsel would also be great and £30mil is worth it because in a year he would have his pick of clubs....think if he was in the prem everyone would want him but as hes in russia we cant really see him every week @bluestevon

If we got Berahino and Janssen that would be cost effective and good...

Lets not forget ryantsev and moshiri will have loads of contacts in russia and so we could see witsel and others coming over....seems like other clubs find it tough to deal with russian sides but we may have an upper hand.

Sign Witsel and sign Dzagoev, pair them together in a midfield 3 and we would absolutely terrify any teams midfield in the league ( BIG Dzagoev fan i am)
 
Witsel was a target under Moyes regime around the time we got Fellaini he hasn't hit the heights he had been forecast to acheive.... Bags of talent but I'm pretty confident it's his consistency that's the issue... Likes getting stuck into a tackle though ala Besic I remember wishing we had got him instead of Fellaini however I think Felaini filled that cam role better than wit sell would

He's been great for Zenit mate, much better player than Fellaini ever has been in the centre ofc
 
until we sell players we only need a top class gk , rb cover , competition on the left wing and a forward. (koeman plays 2 up top)
oh and mcgeady and kone shipped out.

100 million would get us leno mane and rooney surely ? ... id be happy with that ;)

then we can see about which midfielders we can ship in an out (personally I don't care who goes aslong as it isn't barkley or besic)

why is everyone wanting to raid Southam players?? I would put a lot of money on us not signing a single player from there. we have bigger fish to fry than poaching Ronnie's former players, that quite frankly probably don't like him for leaving.
 
The Arsenal bloke summarises it well for me. Keep your stars and then have £100m to get 4 or 5 quality players around them.

Witsel indeed would for most clubs be a very complicated deal to get done, Zenit are owned by Gazprom though - a company ran until a few years ago by Usmaov for around ten years (Moshiris long term business partner) so have a feeling that any deal with them would be a lot smoother than people think - Moshiri 100% will have very good contacts amonst the people who run Gazprom.

Interesting that, could definitely help get him in. Would be very keen at the right price.

mane is the only Southampton player id have ..(forster at a push if we couldn't get leno)
he is a damn good player though , and a left winger , we only have mirallas who is a proper wide left man (not having this Martinez thinking of cleverly or barkley can play there bs) the fact he is at Southampton is just a coincidence.

As for Witsel Zat, stated a whilst ago that i would love to see us go for him, anyone not thinking that even at 30m (which i believe it'd be cheaper than) would represent a bargain, hasn't seen the lad play much or is blind, he is a very very good player and easily good enough for Chelsea, United, Spurs etc - on a par with Dembele last year or Matic two years ago

my quotes on him

should offer Zenit whatever they ask for Witsel - brilliant player

bluestevon, Mar 24, 2016

Would love to see us go and get Axel Witsel from Zenit as he is wanting to move, 1 year left on his contract after this season, biggest priority he states is wanting to go to test himself in a better league, affordable and the right age and quality we need to move forwards as a team

Signing him and say yarmolenko would send a huge signal of intent for where we are trying to get as a team

bluestevon, Mar 25, 2016

Schneiderlein is a cracking player whose been badly underused so far by United - then again as for being a realistic target - dunno about that - didn't they pay 28m for him and he's already on 100k per week at them.

Main problem for him at United is he has been getting played more often as not as the defensive holding mid for them hasn't he?

For me anyway a Schneiderlein or Witsel type of player would seriously improve our midfield - although both need to be played alongside a much more defensive type to get the best out of them, but really neither would suit the system we play - because any centre mid who isn't a defensive midfielder really won't get much of a look in under the current manager - it's why in many ways until it is sorted for definite if he's staying or going then it's much harder to think about what players we need...

But anyway, the likes of Schneiderlein, Witsel, Yarmolenko are the type of players we should be going for - just about at the top level we could attract as none of them are 'superstar' type players, but all 3 are quality, and with the right age and experience to blend with a relatively youthful core of the team

bluestevon, Mar 28, 2016

Money, higher profile league, etc, he will end up moving this summer somewhere though thats for sure, but most likely to a 'big' team, then again we have the finances to be able to go after him these days at least, been playing for the last 4 years in Russia so honestly his standards aren't that sky high mate - and was a high profile player when he moved their as well - so think money will talk more than anythigng else

bluestevon, Mar 29, 2016

CM - Axel Witsel, one year left, peak age for a midfielder, played about 4 years in Russia so guaranteed that the money matters as much as does playing CL etc to him, bit of a tit apparently but a top top quality centre mid, will be honest next to no chance of getting him with the current manager i reckon - with a 'name' manager well within reach

bluestevon, Apr 5, 2016

So yeah would be over the moon to see us sign Witsel ;)

My sole concern with him is that he chose to move to russia and has never been tried in a top league. Seems to have it all though.
