Its normal that your status becomes lower in such a leauge. But I wonder if he is a worse player now then his Benfica days. I understand the hype was bigger in Benfica.
Good point. Just look at Tevez now compared to when he was with us. That season he was one of the best strikers in the world and now we've sort of forgotten to count him in there anymore. Witsel could very well become a starter here and in no time be rated a top class midfielder.

Come on, even you know that's a bad comparison. Van Persie showed quality, had quality. This guy.. well a very long time ago. We are not getting someone proven.
That's my point the difference in price to Van Persie coming off an incredible season isn't that much.

I agree not a good comparison but many say what a good deal it is but probably laughed at Man Utd.

Wonder how many haters would be on board if he cut his hair
"According to the biblical account, Witsel was given supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats such as killing a @Lion, slaying entire Napoli with only the jawbone of an ass, and destroying a merda temple. Witsel had two vulnerabilities — his attraction to untrustworthy women and his hair, without which he was powerless."

Only played his natural role for Belgium v Ireland and he was great that game. Awful if he's played as a DM though.
He probably will not play an AM here like his Benfica days.
CM/DM.

I think this is the type of player that fits in well with a team that is already strong. If you ask him to pull something out of his afro you will probably be disappointed but I think he is good enough to hold his position, win the ball and move the ball to our high-priced attack quickly.
