Replacing Pogba, if he leaves will be the most interesting signing this transfer window from all leagues . I can't think of a single name that can actually replace him with a legit chance of signing,

He is still over-rated seriously. He really stand no chance against replacing Pogba to be honest. I would rather see Sissoko replacing. We already have Pjanic, why would we want to buy a wannabe look a like Pjanic footballer?
Different player to Pjanic and is way better than Sissoko, who has been a bit of a car crash in EPL.

I don't believe Juve want him anyway.

This guy has been linked to like 10+ clubs in the last 3 transfer windows. Just hurry up and sign with someone! Hopefully not us. Having said that, I am basing that comment on you guys. I have no idea on whether he is any good.

He is ok, decent at best. I wouldn't call him a quality player, and definitely not a Juve type/level signing, unless you want a 5th/6th choice for depth. If we do go for him, it would be an absolutely underwhelming signing.

If that is the case, there is no point given that there are so many clubs interested, he is probably going to cost anywhere between 20-30m. No point spending that money on a DEPTH player.

I disagree with him being better than Sissoko. Watching both in Euro Sissoko was a huge impact for France, while all Witsel did for Belgium was side to side passes :sergio:

    There have been plenty of mediocre players who have stood out in major tournaments. Asamoah Gyan for example comes to mind in 2010 WC.

    Sissoko is not Juve quality. He's a glorified track athlete.

    What Witsel did for belgium is what he does:
    Keeping possesion, spreading passes.
    He's not bad tackling but really he's average at best.

    Please Everton sign him up.

    Well, we could discuss this in all eternity. What would a player like Witsel who is a mediocre proove in Juventus? If you would like to put it this way.

    Well if you looked at Witsel's stats, most of his passing was forward.

    He is a fine player, not the level Juventus want though, Sissoko completely shocked everyone with his Euro performances. Rather judge a player on 30-40 games rather than 2 at a tournament.
