Whether you like the guy or not, you have to admit that Zenit did him wrong. Very wrong.

No loss here. Paying over 20 million for him would have been a desperation move, seeing as his contract is up next year anyway, and he was never likely to renew with Zenit. We will get him in January, or June at the latest.

Axel Witsel responded to the failed Juventus move from Zenit on deadline day. “The longer the wait, the bigger the reward.”

The Belgium international was released from duty with his country to undergo a medical in Turin on Tuesday night.

He then waited in the Juventus HQ for a reported 13 hours, but the all-clear from his club Zenit never came.

The two clubs had agreed terms for €18m plus €3m in bonuses, then the Russian outfit refused to release him until it was too late to complete the transfer.

“The longer the wait, the bigger the reward. Live goes on,” wrote Witsel on Twitter this afternoon.

His contract is due to expire on June 30 2017, so Juventus can negotiate a free transfer with him from January, to be enacted next summer.

His message seems to imply that is precisely what he will do in order to join the Bianconeri eventually.

What should he have said, exactly?

"I am honored to still be part of a club that allowed me to leave my National Team's training camp, go to Juve HQ, take a physical, sign a contract, and then have me wait for 13 hours for nothing"

Is that better? I'm surprised that he is as civil as he is, considering the circumstances. It's Zenit's loss at the end of the day.

What i would say? Sneaky fuckin russians

I never said I liked him. I think he's ok, and could be decent. But he was never on the top of my list of targets for the midfield. I don't hate him the way Zach does. I just think they needed someone in there to help see it through until Marchisio comes back.


I would have taken Matuidi over Witsel any day, but I would certainly take Witsel over Mr. Couscous with Milk.

But it won't. He will be here in January or June, and you will have to resign yourself to this probability.

Oh definitely. I do like him. I also think he's not good enough to be in Juve's first 11. But as a rotation player? Sure.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Considering marchisios injury, khediras history, we don't need a rotation guy we need a starter

If that is all he says after that fiasco, Zenit should consider themselves lucky. Other players might have done much more volatile things in the past, like go AWOL.

 

[GarfielD]

This reminds me of the Llorente saga.

We'll get him for free next year IMO.

Hopefully Zenit actually play the player.

In that case we'd be lucky if he turned out great, but far from certain imo.

oke Zenit its all Russians

Russians eveywhere

 

[Stevie]

He will be a good free transfer and this leaves us with more money to spend on a wc midfielder next year but i feel like this.was the year to.go all out for CL. If Higuain and our amazing defense was younger i wouldnt be so worried.

 

[Siamak]

Axel always appreciated Napoli, unlike some other players he always embraced their project.
wtf?!!
