So where is that guy who was insisting Danilo could be signed for 15m and both Porto wingbacks could be signed for about 30m combined ?
Some people are really out of touch with reality when it comes to the current market.Seriously.

I've seen witsel play at standard before you even knew him. Since i watch our national team, i see him there all the time aswel


Witsel is inferior to every starting cm we got. Marchisio, Vidal, Pogba, Asamoah, Pirlo, are all better to much better players.
it doesn’t make you right just cos you knew him before i do..and if you say that asamoah is better than him..can we sell asamoah for 40 m as witsel worth ? i don’t think so

After Paul Pogba, Juventus are reportedly targeting another Manchester United youngster, Angelo Henriquez.

The Bianconeri famously poached Pogba as a free agent when his contract expired in June 2012, but he is now valued at around €100m.

According to calciomercato.com, the Turin giants are planning a similar swoop for Angelo Jose Henriquez Iturra.

The 20-year-old Chile international is currently on loan at Dinamo Zagreb, where he has scored 20 goals in just 29 games this season.

Manchester United bought him from Universidad de Chile for €4m in 2009, when he was only 15 years old, though he didn’t get a work permit until 2012.

He had loan spells at Wigan Athletic, Real Zaragoza and Dinamo Zagreb, but Henriquez will be out of contract with Manchester United in June.

It has also been noted that his agent is Fernando Felicevich, who represents Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.

You really are saying the strangest things here.


First you start by saying "witsel is massive signing". Witsel plays best as a CM who can mostly infiltrate forward. But Witsel is greatly limited. His defensive positionning is horrid. At Belgium he is known to be running out of position all the time when not actively coached. Our midfield improved immensely when Nainggolan is there, who corrects him all the time and covers his mistakes. Witsel is one of the key weaknesses we have. He's nice allrounded offensively and he's good at infiltrating, but for a cm that doesnt compensate his defensive and positionning shortcommings.

Lets follow that path. Is witsell a massive signing considering he's a cm ?

Current starting CM : Marchisio, Vidal, Pogba.


Marchisio is hands down a better player. Replace him with Witsel and our midfield collapses. Despite beeing 3 years older and in a financially poor league, he's valuated nearly the same as Witsel aswel. Says enough.

Pogba i probably dont even need to explain. He's better then Witsel in everything, and double the value.

Vidal, despite comming of a serious injury and having an average season, still worth allmost double. Different style from witsel, but defends MUCH better, better positionning, MUCH higher workrate, more assists and more goals.



So, all our starting CM's are higher valuated and clearly better then Witsel. Wich removes the possibility of him beeing anything other then a very good benchplayer. And no, Witsel is a poor CAM.


Asamoah ? Bit lower in value, but playing a position thats undervaluated in comparison. Better and more complete player, and more versatile.



Lastly, you mention the 40mil that Witsel was sold for. Excellent business by Benfica that was. And taking a look at Witsels market value, we see that he has since dropped quite a bit in price despite merely beeing 26 years old, wich is before his prime.






If we need a CM or CAM from the Belgian team, it would eighter be Nainggolan, or De Bruyne. Those players i hold MUCH higher in regard
