Axel Witsel

[Mayor West]

Not near good enough for this team.

Agreed, no where near.

disagree, we've got some talent over here in Belgium these days...

Kompany, Hazard (Chelsea), Courtois (Chelsea/Atletico Madrid), Junior Musonda (Chelsea still very young) and Witsel (Benfica) are being rated world class players or prospects.

De Bruyne (Chelsea), Dembélé (Fulham), Fellaini (Everton), Defour(Porto), Vertonghen (Spurs), Lombaerts (Zenith), Vermaelen (Arsenal) are all still good but not as good. I would easily put my money on Witsel making it big.

The only player that's rated good by certain Anderlecht supporters you should stay away from is Lukaku, playing three levels above his capabilities.

Was just about to post saying that John Chapman (runs BelgoFoot twitter/web) doesn't rate Lukaku whatsoever and neither does the rest of Belgium.

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.

Fuckin ell yer not wrong mate, who am I thinking of then the nippy left winger fer Belgium? Might not even play fer benfica thinking about it.

Was it Dries Mertens you were thinking of?

Certainly looks it at the moment, has the perfect physical attributes for target man tall, strong and quick but you can tell he has failed to raise his game at all since he left belgium, he needs to develop technically, he is a player who has been taken to a higher level than his technical skills demand and he needs to adapt or will fall behind, awareness is another area, how to show himself for a pass, movement in the box and out to the flanks and drifting in late to end attacks. If he does n't improve in those areas he will forever be just his physique and end being a new Emile Heskey rather than the Drogba.

Lukaku has alot of potential and people are forgetting he turned 19 2 months ago. The boy needed to go to a manager that would play him and develop him and be patient with him. He's typical of a kid that made a move to a big club way too early and will stagnate and miss alot of his development

 

[ste1988]

Witsel at £31 Million is a joke. We should be after Suarez as he seems a little unsettled and well worth £30 million

Competely out of the blue but no thanks, trouble follows him around, we've got enough of those.
