Turin is underrated and a bit of a "hidden" jem IMO. Yes, it's a slow and quiet city generally, but there is plenty of great restaurants, cafes, museums, public squares , fantastic view of The Alps and the food (especially the chocolate) and wine scene is superb. The downside is the foggy and very cold winters, and stifling humidity in summer.
Dont you like damp, moist places ?

Is witsel cup tied in CL?
No.
They're playing EL and CL Qualification doesn't matter in that regard.

I been to both and its insane you are even comparing the cities...


Friggin Dusseldorf was nicer then Dortmund.
That's because Düsseldorf is a beatiful city next to the rhine river.

Dortmund is a city in the so called "Ruhrpott" which lived from mining etc.
So you don't go there because it's a beatiful city, but because you can play in front of 80,000 per game and earn a nice paycheck.

Well, we definitely need midfield reinforcements in January, that is if we are serious about mounting a serious challenge for the CL. Asamoah and Lemina will be away for AFCON, and Sturaro and Hernanes won't be enough (and aren't good enough) for depth. Genoa's Rincon shouldn't be an option, because he really isn't an upgrade/improvement in any way. Witsel would be a welcome addition, but I don't really think he is that great either. We should have really tried harder for Matuidi in the summer (or pipped Napoli to Diawara; possibly signed Allan from them for 50-60 million as soon as we knew Pogba was leaving).

We should secure Kessie in January, and go all out for Verratti in the summer. Watch out for Udinese's Fofana. He could become an interesting player.
