Matt Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I think he's deteriorated a lot last couple of years. Has become a sideways passer. and he's quoted at being £30m?! Half that and I'd take a gamble, but there are muuuuuuuuch better players available for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Shows how much the expectations have changed when we're turning our noses up at Witsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Shows how much the expectations have changed when we're turning our noses up at Witsel £30m for a player with 1 year left on his contract? I'm not really bothered by him as a player, but thats stupid money for someone playing in Russia with 12 months left on their contract.

I'm not disagreeing mate just saying that 3 years ago the boards servers would be melting just at the sniff of us signing him now people are saying nar.

scouse Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 id take him for the right price, big powerful midfielder but as said 30 mill for 1 year of contract is a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 He looked a much better player than McCarthy against Ireland, but that was the first game in years he had any verticality in his play whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 The strongest rumors suggest he'll be moving to Stoke. They're putting together a nice squad over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Not sure how I feel about this one. 30 mil? Would assume that Barry is a better passer, tackler, and interceptor than Witsel. Witsel did collect 6 goals in all comps last season tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Not sure how I feel about this one. 30 mil? Would assume that Barry is a better passer, tackler, and interceptor than Witsel. Witsel did collect 6 goals in all comps last season tho. Barry's on average not better than Witsel, but it's actually a good comparison in terms of playstyle. Both are silent workers on midfield, but Witsel is maybe a bit more versatile. Besides CM and CDM he can also play RB, RM, and if needed in times of emergency (such as red card + no more subs) he can play CD. Random fact, early on in his career he's become famous for gruesomely breaking Marcin Wasilewski's leg during a game between Anderlecht and Standard. Wasilewski's promosing career as a CD was thought to be severely hindered due to the long revalidation time, but 2 months ago he became EPL champion with Leicester.

markjazzbassist Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 i think he'll be a good signing. we underestimated mccarthy's first year, ronald might be able to transform him into a world beater. in ronny we trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I just find it weird that Everton has this sort of money to spend. I thought Fellaini back in the day was an exception. But they repeated it with Lukaku and now this? Is this thanks to the TV money? Edited July 1, 2016 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's said we get 100m pound kitty this summer not including sales. He means business, he wants to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
