Rumour United agreed 30m fee for Witsel

Not sure where you got this from but we should have bought him instead of Fellani. Not creative but very solid and distributes the ball well.

Wouldn't say I believe it tbh but who knows

I'd love for us to sign Witsel, he is under rated by many. People tend to stick him with the DM tag but he is much more than that. He is excellent going forward with the ball and a real danger around the opponants box.

He's a better defensively version of Yaya Toure for me.

Too similar to Fellaini, just can't see it.

The only similaritie is the Afro fresh, witsl is actually really good on the ball and has great feet and distribution

Fresh, he is a far far better all round player than Fellaini. Quicker, better passer, great vision, bursts forward and just as good defensively, perhaps slightly better due to being quicker. I would be very happy with the signing of Witsel. That being said it seems like a Twitter rumour and more often than not they turn out to be kids winding people up, pretending to be ITK. If Ed002 says over the next couple of days that we have been in contact with his agent or Zenit, then it may have some legs. We have bid for him in the past so perhaps he is back on the "wish list" so to speak.

{Ed002's Note - There was interest in Witsel from Anzhi, Manchester United, AC Milan and Real Madrid before he moved to Zenit - with bids rejected from the first two. In respect of January, there has been no deal agreed for Witsel and I am certain Zenit has not been approached by MU. I do not know if MU has spoken with his agent at this time.}

Thanks for clearing that up Ed. Much appreciated.

Witsel would be an excellent signing for us, but I hear were after Cabaye who I think is better and probably cheaper option I do know this we will need to get in someone for the middle and move Anderson on he is a waste of wages and I don't like slagging players off but his time is up and he needs to go

Anderson and Nani both had a good 2 years beyond the 'give them every chance' stage. Even the blind can see that lol.
