Well Zenit paid his full €40 million buy out clause from Benfica, so I can only imagine how much he would cost.
Dont think anyone is about ready to spend 50m or whatever on him, as talented as he is.

Makes sense but still frustrating to see him wasting away both his talent & career in a nothing League.The Franchise wrote:Well Zenit paid his full €40 million buy out clause from Benfica, so I can only imagine how much he would cost.

Did Benfica force his hand or something? Why move to Russia of all places when all the big clubs were keeping tabs?

Keep in mind the only reason Willian is no longer in Russia is because Anzhi's owner grew tired of the "project" and decided to sell off the stars.

Re: Axel Witsel Denunciation Thread
Keeping tabs but not willing to meet the buy out clause I suspect. And Benfica im sure were only going to sell for buy out clause or very close to it.
The reason he went Zenit, probably the same as Bruno Alves, Hulk and others before him. Huge pay increase.
But yes I agree he shouldnt be playing there and deserves better. But its his own fault for moving for money aswell as accepting a buy out clause so high. He was a very good young player, but he was coming from Standard Liege. Hardly the highest pedigree.
I remember at the time, people were not sure he was going to be great, they hoped so. 40m at the time sounded very steep...still does but today its more reasonable when you see the price of other midfielders.

Why do you need Witsel when you have one of the best dm's you have ever seen in van ginkel?

Lmao, the longer players stay in Russia the more overrated they get.
Everyone remember how hyped scrubs like Dzageov, Akinfeev and Doumbia were even a few months back lol?

Re: Axel Witsel Denunciation Thread
I am assuming Gil is basing his opinion on Belgium games I suppose he is watching.
He only played about 30 games for Benfica, about a third of which I bothered watching. So I wont comment too much on his ability.
I think he is a pretty good player though, albeit a little dirty.

He's been flawless for Belgium, had a terrific Champions League campaign for Belgium and has been highly rated for years.
Unreal physically and technically. Versatile and tactically disciplined enough to convert himself from a B2B midfielder into a controller ala Busquets. Has a bit of a nasty streak but all great defenders have that trait.

Re: Axel Witsel Denunciation Thread
how is Doumbia a scrub? only reason he is not playing for a top euro team is because of his injury last season, no way someone so prolific can be a scrub.

Re: Axel Witsel Denunciation Thread
From what (little) I've seen from him, he does look quite good. But the price range he's been put into with the mega money buy means you'd have to be insane to buy him. Because for that 40M type range you could buy a real gamechanger.

Re: Axel Witsel Denunciation Thread
I will say this. If you could pay 40m and get Witsel, I would rather that than 28 year old Fernandinho at the same price or Illarramendi at like a million less who is less than a year younger with much less experience.
None of these players are worth these amounts I do stress but still.

I agree. His record with CSKA (40 in 66) is very good, nothing to be scoffed at.REWB wrote:how is Doumbia a scrub? only reason he is not playing for a top euro team is because of his injury last season, no way someone so prolific can be a scrub.

Dzagoev became popular when he was Russia's best player in Euro 12, have not heard of him since then.
Doumbia last I heard was struggling with injuries.
