Benfica have slapped a £31.4million price tag on midfielder Axel Witsel's head, who is a rumoured target for Manchester United.

Not near good enough for this team.

dont believe this is true in the slightest, the guy is a better player than milner already who is good enough for us, the guy is a good midfielder already and has the potential to become a top class midfielder.

Think the Vinnie having a word bit is tripe as the same was said in the whole hazard saga. In the recent friendly against england I actually thought the lad looked better than hazard, quite small but very very quick...seen him in a few champs league games for benfica last season and was impressed...not sure he's quite worth his buyout clause money though.

And it was said Vincent had a word with Lukaku too.

Witzel is fairly tall though (6'1"), with a bit of an Afro with blond bits in. You must be thinking about someone else.

got to agree
i watched him when he played for standard, and he was extremely good.

would i pay that amount of money for him?
probably not, mainly because its not what we need.
just pay everton 15mil for fellaini, who imo could be a world beater in the right team.

Everton paid £15m for Fellaini, they're not going to sell arguably their best player for the equivalent of what they paid for him.

Thought they got him for 11-12mil
my bad.
Regardless, they would accept a lot less than what witsel would cost.

Very good but not worth £31million. Benfica have a fantastic model just like Porto, they have brilliant scouts who identify hot talents who the club sign cheap then sell at incredible profits not too long after.

 

[Rammyblues]

Inside football have an accuracy rating on City transfers of 0% they are about as reliable as caughtoffside or sky sports. Just to keep things in perspective although they may get this one right.

You seem to be much more knowledgeable about music than on the players. which is saying something

 

[MadchesterCity]

Wasn't him that did some horrendous tackle a few years back?

Aye.

I just youtubed it.... I wish I hadn't. thats a proper "Cant unsee" moment.
