Axel Witsel

[Rolee]

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.

I agree about the Vinnie having a word bit being tripe but the opposite was said about Hazard, the media suggested that Vinnie wouldn't try to encourage Hazard to join City, which if true speaks volumes.

This story is old hat anyroad. Portuguese media ran this story about a month ago.

hes 6ft+ mate, if that is small im a shrimp haha....The lad is a very good player and is destined for a move to a big club, i wouldnt say no as i think he could become a real player for us but i would prefer fellanini who has premier league experience.

Isn't this whole story about three months old? Sure there has been a thread on this before

And for those who can`t/don`t want to watch the tackle heres the write up on it ;

On 30 August 2009, Witsel sparked controversy when he broke Marcin Wasilewski's leg by stamping on his ankle during the match between Anderlecht and Standard.[3][4] Following the tackle, Witsel protested the red card, claiming that it was an accident without intent, before being sent off the pitch. He soon apologised, but was the subject of criticism from several media outlets and numerous death threats from angry Anderlecht and Poland fans.[5] The initial ban until 23 November by the Belgian Football Association,[6] was later reduced on appeal to eight matches.[7]
