Any recent rumors of us buying Allan? I think he will have one year left on his contract after this one ends and I can't see Marotta spending any serious money on a player that will soon be free.

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
first can you refer to the strange things that i say ??? and i’ll show the real strange things that you say.. witsel is playing offensively ?? that’s a joke right ?? witsel is pure defensive cm..you can see more matches for him before you say things that you don’t know..

and when nainggolan played for belgium in the first place to correct witsel’s mistakes that you talk about ?? nainngolan played just 10 matches for belgium and most of them come from the bench..i don’t think you know what you saying..witsel played 54 matches for belgium and he’s always start

then you started to talk about our cms and you compare them with witsel... i told you in previous post that he’ll come in case of selling pogba.. so he plays as defensive cm and vidal,marchisio easily playing around him in cm..

and about the marketing value of witsel you use double standards i mean you say that vidal worths double witsel’s value so it’s 80 million..when vidal worth 80 million or just you imagine ??? and the higher marchisio worth came from monaco and it’s about 25-30 million..and don’t let me start about asamoah’s value which is more less than marchisio..so don’t just make things up

this year a lot of great strikers names will change teams and we are connected with a lot of them.
Better focus on a target and get him early,rather than hoping for random opportunity targets and get a panic buy.
We need to offload Matri, Romulo, Ogbonna and Pereyra, stop wasting time on CMs, unless tey are opportunities like Poogba and Coman and get a starter CB, a starter LB and a prolific finisher in case one becomes available and we sell Llorente to Barca.

See, this is the thing. You know very little of Witsel, Nainggolan, and the belgian NT.


For a while, despite having an exceptionally talented generation, we fucked it up. We kept fucking it up. At some point, the NT coach introduced Simons. An aging cm to bring balance to the team, that was largely imbalanced. When the talented generation kept improving and doing well, the results improved, but we never really played close to what we can do, and our midfield was a horrible joke.

We scraped trough to get to the world cup, in a group that was talentwise so far behind us. All the offensive players and wingers, kept underperforming. At the worldcup, we needed a lastminute goal in each of the 3 groupgames, while beeing in a group with the 3 worst teams of the entire worldcup. Argentina later humilliated us, by making chance after chance, scoring and afterwards, lock the play up, we didnt get a single chance in the entire game.


But allready then, there was great controversy around Nainggolan. Back at cagliari, despite beeing extremely good, our NT coach didnt even bother watching serie a. So he went to Roma. Then when he came at the NT finally, he was dropped cause he had a disagreement with Kompany, wich created quite the fuzz around here,as most people who actually watch football knew we were leaving the only actual CDM (and a very fucking good one) at home.


After the worldcup, Wilmots decided to use Nainggolan. Suddenly, the entire team explodes. Hazard, De bruyne, whatever central forward, they all start to play to their level. Nainggolan is now widely regarded by every analyst as the only CM that is a certitude. We cant play without him in the midfield, because he balances out the entire team.

Defour did it a bit, but isnt good enough to do it entirely on his own.
Witsel and De Bruyne at some point tried to do it at the worldcup. We were mocked about cause Witsel is a horrible defensive cm, who is the opposite of Marchisio. Always out of position, never cutting run and passing lines, poor tactical sense.
Nainggolan is simply doing it. He allows the other 2 cm's to be alot more free with a decent workrate while he balances out the midfield


What you are doing, is simply looking at statistics. I actually watch all our games.


You go on saying Witsel should be a defensive cm. Thats the big mistake. He is simply awfull at it. Witsel thrives if he can play forward with not to much defensive work, and infiltrate the opponents defence. Bit like Marchisio used to do a few years ago.

It is extremely obvious to everyone, that Marchisio is the CDM, and Witsel and Vidal should play ahead of him. But witsel would be such a huge drop in quality, and the team would be better off using asamoah instead, or go 4231.


Market value, is market value. Its not what benfica sold him for. At this point Witsel is worth about 25 mil. Vidal is still over 40 mil. Cheesio was 30ish before his injury, and Pogba is 50+mil




40mil for Witsel, would be a good joke for EPL teams.

I really doubt that Marotta can make more than 25mil from Vidal and that ammount wont be enough for him to buy Witsel now. So the situation for us is that we lose money to downgrade...
And whats worse is that we are distracted from the areas we are really suffer from and ought to focus our attention!

come on..you saying that belgium performance got better just because of nainngolan ??..he’s not even in the line-up of roma and even the old keita came and took his place with pjianic and de rossi..bottom line nainngolan is an average player and witsel is way much better..and even the value is not even close.

and don’t let me start with the ridiculous amount of money that the EPL teams paying for average players and i’ll give you an example..andy carol from newcastle to liverpool 50 million euros..luke shaw from southampton to man u 45 million euros..ander herrera 43 million..is this enough ??

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.
So we're trying to buy a 20 year old Chilean, eh?
Didn't Badass, some 4 years ago, say that we're looking after some 15-16 year old Chilean kid, whose name could not be disclosed at the time?

HOW about Pastore? Isnt Pastore cup tied?
we need to a Trequartista like him that play near Pereyra and can be move up to trequartista or just behind the strikers.but I don't see Pereya as effective in the trequartista role. Are we just gonna shore up the forward and try and land a trequartista in the summer, or will someone else be targeted? Should make for an interesting mercato.

pastore is too slow to ever play counter attacking style like we did against Dortmund, where as pereyra has pace to his advantage. I'd definitely give pastore a miss, technically he is decent but I think he would hinder our play more than actually help it.
