I just hope that Witsel to Dortmund doesn't mean that we will sign Weigl

What is it about Weigl you don’t like?

 

[CWMCFC]

Guys he said cover for fern so weigl wont be the player.i think ndombele or someone similar.

Weigl is a defensive midfielder, he would be Fern cover. We wanted Jorginho to rotate with Fern and they are very dissimilar players - Weigl's much more like the former.

 

[Delphinho]

Not followed him, but why do you say that ?

I thought he was a Pep type player ?

He definitely is, but he's average at best. Good passer, but he's slow, doesn't win headers, can't defend, can't shoot and is injury prone. Saw Dortmund a couple times last season and even though he was recovering from a bad injury he looked pretty bad. Wasn't very good before his injury either

Weigl?

Yes, with Witsel off to Dortmund....maybe Weigl becomes an option for us? Sam Lee over at Goal has just posted....."Hmmm" to the news that Witsel signing with Dortmund...Weigl has had a down year but if anything that might keep his price down.

Or Weigl goes to PSG and we sign Verratti. Weigl has been linked there a lot, and his former manager is now the PSG manager

I assumed that Pep would know all about him from his time at Bayern , but thanks for the info.

Adding onto that. Probably most reliable for any Belgium news.

cheers mate....Might be wrong but havent there been reports in the past that Pep was high on Weigl? Still young and best years ahead....If Weigl doesnt end up at PSG with his old coach, I could see alot of upside to this signing...

Agree mate.....his old coach might have been tapping him up all summer..Verratti would be my No1 option but Weigl could be a nice plan B...

Why would PSG get rid of Verratti and replace him with Weigl if he is as shit as you say he is?
