Witsel will cost way too much.

by Kick Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:35 pm

Witsel is overrated. If we're after a new CM, Gundogan, Strootman, Bender (either one), Pogba, Or other top CM's should be on our list.

Apparently we're in talks with Mandzukic's agents according to Sky Italia.

by Kick Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:36 pm

We're also after Costa.

It'll be one of those two players imo. More likely Costa.

Switch 'Witsel' for 'Matic' and you have what basically everyone was saying last Fall/Early Winter.

Players rarely go for as much as the sums thrown around about them in the media. Though that's certainly not to say he'd be cheap either.

by Kick Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:41 pm

There are so many players I'd take over Witsel though.

I really like Witsel as much as i liked Matic before he joined us. Just like Matic he is just a perfect to our team. Witsel is basically Rambo+Brain+Passing+Technique.

He is just too good of a fit imo.

I also really like Gundogan but he has barely played this season, and that is a worry. Plus we all know how Kagawa and Sahin did outside of Dortmund. But i think Gundogan is a good fit here cant say they were also respectively.

Lift your game, son.

More signs of shed in decline :coffee:

by Shed Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:14 pm

Well when the standard of normalcy around here is me posting every single piece of news this section gets, then yea, there will be slight, swift deviations once every few months.

by Kick Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:26 pm

He admits he has been declining for months!

by Shed Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:31 pm

"Slight, swift" deviations ≠ decline

:coffee:

by Kick Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:46 pm

You're right:

"Slight, swift" deviations > decline

by Shed Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:58 pm

Coming from someone who contributes fck all to this section other than responses to what I've already posted, I'll take it on the chin.

Seems I am the only one who will take Costa. Not for that much though.

by Soul Fri Mar 28, 2014 1:43 am

He's definitely an upgrade over Torres & Ba. And if Eto'os on his way out, we might as well sign him.

I just have this feeling he's a one season wonder sort of guy

I would say he simply bloomed after two building on two decent seasons.

by Kick Fri Mar 28, 2014 2:56 am

Yeah, he is not a one season wonder.

My foresight :coffee:

When a 25-year-old has 1 good season that he's all of a sudden a world beater in after a career of bang average ones, I'm more inclined to believe it's a fluke than the start of a trend.

by Kick Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:10 am

So you felt the same about Drogba huh? Good to know.

by Shed Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:14 am

Ah, the old Drogba invocation. The final refuge of the argument-lorn :coffee:
