If this guy is coming then hopefully Allegri sees him as DM. This would allow Pjanic and Lemina to play as CM/B2B.

I'm not a fan but for a relatively small price he's an upgrade to Hernanes for sure. The latter is simply a ticking bomb in front of our defence. Witsel at least can distribute the ball and hopefully won't be giving gifts to opposition. Then Marchisio returns :xfinger:

One thinks Immobile is great, the other is an AI unit.

Someone more reliable, please.

And tuz is all about bandwagoning, 2-3 people mention a name suddenly he is in everyones line up. And vice-versa in this case.
Lets face it though, if there is anyone here watching the Russian league more often than anyone else here it is those 2. Besides has anyone said anything remotely positive about Witsel yet?

Doesn't matter. Alex, even though I love him to death (I really do) considers Bonucci as crap.

Let's face it, Witsel is a solid, if unspectacular Midfielder. As @Seven says. Does he improve our strongest starting XI? Not at all.

But we don't need to improve on Khedira-Marchisio-Pjanic.

We need to improve the rotation options so it's not such a ridiculous drop-off to relying on the likes of Hernanes - Sturaro - Pereyra of last year. And Witsel certainly does that.

Having a Khedira-Marchisio-Pjanic starting 3 from October onwards, with Witsel, Asamoah, Lemina as first 3 off the bench is pretty fucking good. And people need to stop being such bitches.

Of course if we go back to the beginning of the thread, the same people advocating this purchase now, would be stating the complete opposite of what they are regurgitating now. Now that he is set to become a Juventus player, he's a good option :sigh:

@Jem83 Happy Birthday Bro :beer: :wine:

The problem is not so much 'improving' the midfield, but there are too many uncertainties with each of them, will Khedira stay fit/injury free for the majority of the season? How quickly can Marchisio recover without a potential relapse? How will Pjanic perform?
