Seems we're getting Witsel in January for €6M according to Gazzetta

Thats really cheap. How come?

His contract runs out in June and he has been pushing to join us since the summer.

The benefit of having brazilian players in your team; there's always a chance they *bleep* off to China for a big fee.

52M

We should sell Matthieu to them for like 30M

Oh Jesus *bleep* Christ :facepalm:

Hardly surprising, we won't get that money elsewhere.

A couple of Italian papers(Cds and TS ), Pedulla and some Spanish sources are reporting that we're ready to activate N'Zonzi's release clause (€30M)

Thank God, dodged a bullet there

Wow they signed him in the middle of a season ?! Shocked

Interesting. hmm

by Kick Thu Dec 15, 2016 12:04 am

Wow. Odd move for him.

Why should they wait?

I think people have a wrong perception of this. Bazoer didn't play for us. De Boer dropped him, then he had another chance with Bosz and again he failed to impress. He's been sitting on our bench for the last few months.
It's not a case of a player who feels he's too good for us. It's the exact opposite.

Oscar himself confirmed China move

'It's 90% done'

by Kick Thu Dec 15, 2016 4:55 am

Times are reporting that Oscar will get 20m pounds per season after tax if he goes to China:

He'd only be behind Messi and Ronaldo in yearly earnings if he signs.

Oscar is such a disappointment

by rincon Thu Dec 15, 2016 10:37 am

Looks like Keita will leave Lazio either in January or Summer. He already tried to leave last summer. His attitude is a big question mark but he is very very talented.

The price being thrown around is starting at 25m. A lot of teams would do well to look into him.

I thought Juve was getting Witsel? Or they gonna buy 2 CMs?

by Art Morte Thu Dec 15, 2016 11:44 am

Surely Chelsea will be a CAM short if Oscar goes? hmm

Meaning they'll probably try to get one in January. Would be quite risky to wait until the summer when you're title charging and all that. As long as they don't come for Coutinho, I'm curious who they have in mind.

by footyfan01 Thu Dec 15, 2016 11:55 am

Chelsea will buy a player in the winter or next summer - Possibly a high profile target like Griezmann. In the meantime Willian is already on the bench behind Pedro - They don't have CHL - They will be okay

Catalan wingers Keita and Traore. bounce
