Witsel in 7 CL appearances last year:

1 goal - 1 assist - 86% passing - 0.4 key passes/game - 0.9 long balls/game - 0.6 dribbles/game - 1.9 fouls won/game - 1.9 fouls conceded/game - 2.9 tackles/game - 2 Interceptions/game - 1.0 clearances/game - 0.3 blocks/game - dribbled past 0.4 times/game

7.36 whoscored rating.

Damn solid. Especially those defensive stats. Excellent tackling, interceptions, clearances, not fouling a lot, and not being dribbled past often.

He beats Pogba in every single defensive category. Every single one. More tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocks, less fouls conceded, and less times dribbled past.

:D

And for people saying this guy has no grinta or toughness..

In the Champion's League last year:

--------------Witsel ---- Vidal

Tackles------- 2.9 ------ 2.4
Interceptions-2.0 -------1.8
Clearances----1.6 -------1.5
Blocks ---------0.3-------0.3
Fouls conceded-1.9-------2.5
Dribbled Past--0.4-------1.1

Would you look at that. Beats Vidal in every defensive statistic too. So damn mediocre. :howler:
Played DM role mostly. And what do you know? Still not even a third of the player either players are, shocking I know, but but but Lassie the stats the stats?! :snoop:

Over past 6 years? Plenty, but only league games were like 3 derby games in Portugal back then (more interesting talents then). Rest several CL /EL or national team games. Defenitely enough to guage what he brings to the table.

I think this is a good transfer with high potential. Witsel was regarded as one of the brightest talents in midfield a few years ago. He went to Russia for money but I hope he can realize his potential at Juve. Given his age and the fact that he is highly regarded in England, I also think that unless he totally flops here, we will be able to sell him for profit in one or two years if we are not entirely satisfied with him.

If you're talking about CL games, maybe. I wouldn't count his games for the NT though. He has almost always played as a pure DM, a position he is not good in imo.
