Axel Witsel - AM/CM - Zenit (23 Viewers)

The sad part with Witsel is that had he joined us 5 years ago, he'd be an absolute monster now.

Yeah,but as you know, Belgian player wont come to italy unless there really really is no alternative

Juve always interests Belgian players. We're a huge club. As for Serie A it's slowly becoming more interesting. Mertens joining Napoli was a huge boost. Kums and Praet are not of the same calibre, but still good to see.

Ye but lets be honest. They werent considered the prime amazing talents, or they'd be in some midtable EPL team.


Regardless, witsel here would make it more viewed and analysed, which is a good thing

This post was a troll obviously but yes, he's tactically sound if you ask me. Just like Khedira is. It's not his fault Wilmots had the tactical brain of a turtle with an orange headband.

Allegri wants Witsel for several years now. Let's just see what he makes of him. As long as he drops the backpasses he'll be fine for us as Seven says. Ideal rotation player who can fill in almost any midfield gap when needed.

And Russia definitely screwed up his career. Very greedy and dumb move.

He gets 3M in Russia, surely could have got that in England too with the hype he had

 

[Zacheryah]

One would say tha Russia is where you go for the money. Before dubai was cool.

Hence, the league is filled with brazillian players who choose the quick buck

I think the problem was the fee that Benfica wanted. Its usual that players from Portugal go to Russia as bar the top European teams no one can afford Portugal clubs fee demands.

Yeah, was thinking the same. Zenit paid ridicoulus money for him and Hulk

 

[il brutto]

Yeah even in todays market that €40M fee paid for a young Witsel would be huge.

Zenit singed Azevedo (midfielder) from Atletico Paranaense.Witsel is one step closer...

 

[Xperd]

Juventus's offer to sign Witsel is €6m + bonuses, there's optimism deal can happen in January. [Via @romeoagresti]


Definite dealio now

 

[zizinho]

No doubt hes coming

 

[Osman]

Learned from summer deadline, you did not.

 

[Akshen]

so they bought his replacement, hopefully its done. Hoping he will be hit for us, imo he needs this step up in his carreer to show his real potential

 

[zizinho]

Learned from summer deadline, you did not.

There are 2 differences tho. He wasn't our no.1 target (was Matuidi) and we only really tried to sign him on deadline day/last few days, cant remember exactly, unlike now when we have the whole month. Zenit signed a replacement beforehand this time. All indicated its a done dealio

 

[Hist]

Youare Belgian too? What do you think about Witsel?

I must warn you. Both of them are a bit insane

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

If Zenit have signed a CM then I think this one is definitely a done dealio. Good to add a very good CM to our ranks, and one that is eligible for CL too.

[Lion]

[Satchy]

Witsel the Schnitzel. Don't know what to expect from this guy.
