But we need also a physical midfielder. He did really, really good for Benfica and not bad at Zenit. Witsel has the talent and the strength we need in our midfield. He is not 'world class' but he will cost us max 6 million, so it's a steal. This guy has a value around 30 million euro's even if he dissapoint us we can sell him for more than we bought him.
This would be a great deal, because he gives us other qualities than we already have in midfield. He is better than our subs and he is cheap. I can't see the problem. And as I said if he 'fails' we will sell him to EPL for 20m+

Nobody wanted Khedira, this will be a Khedira case. He is really usefull and he will be in his prime next years.
You know i was the one who did that beppe emoticon?. One day i opened my photoshop... i saw that marotta image in google...., i placed it in photoshop....and just let it flow...
Up for debate but I like it anyway. On paper Dybala - Higuain is as good as it gets and our defence is right up there. If only we could sort out our midfield now.
