Backroom Tom Posted June 29, 2011 Backroom Share Posted June 29, 2011 According to Nicko we are after highly rated Axel Witsel http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Blackburn-news-Rovers-chase-Alex-Witsel-8m-Standard-Liege-midfield-hardman-wanted-by-Palermo-Lazio-article753990.html http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CDIQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAxel_Witsel&rct=j&q=axel%20witsel&ei=RacLTsmHF4SFhQe7q7niDw&usg=AFQjCNEYk16cL2k9q8zoK9KND8MVSZ18fQ&sig2=DEqgMSNSElzl2vBs6_ZKFA&cad=rja http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU6U9ubXG-g&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veevs Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Cool Witsel.. kind of unexpected that one.. so much for the lists lol.. Witsel over JJ I guess, good player and a very very decent goals return for a defensive midfielder. Kind of explains a little in other areas, might be the only player the manager and Kentaro agree on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby G Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 As far as I knew Witsel was wanted by Milan though. One thing wanting him, another signing him. If we do, its an amazing signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Personally I've never heard of him until now but a quick google search shows that the likes of United, Arsenal and Milan were all after him not too long ago, so he can't be all that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leerovers1980 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 what is it with players from standard leige having a massive bar-nit, fellaini and now this witsel guy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted June 29, 2011 Backroom Share Posted June 29, 2011 And becuase someone is bound to post it sooner or later, here's his horror tackle which resulted in him badly breaking someones leg (graphic stuff) For me it doesn't have any bearing but some will probably not want him due to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Witsel is the 'hot' name on the latest list. The guy also went missing at Standard Liege today. He is an SEM/Kentaro client. Yes, he is wanted by 'bigger' clubs. But if the advisers can't land this one then there really is a problem. Cracking player. Hard as ****, can play too. Right age. Won't be silly wages. Fee may be an issue, but that can be worked on. If you land this one there will be a clucking fest from the usual politically-correct quarters, but who gives one. It may also heal some wounds that have been opened...and make the whole operation look like it can work. Not holding breath. But this player is worth a real swing of the bat.

Mullionvagrant Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Don#t we need a forward or two? suddenly it will be announced what a hot property if nurtured properly kalinic will be and how the lad has untapped raw talent-and that we really have no need for a marque quality striker!!

nicko Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 what you mean was missing from standard leige today are they already back in training ? Witsel didn't show up for pre-season training.

Kenwoo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I gave Witsel a thought (and i think someone on here even mentioned him) a month or so back, trawling through Kentaro/SEM website to see who they'd fix us up with. No complaints to be fair. Nicko, do you believe we may still go after Piatti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRFC_Pilkz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Is Witsel the mystery midfielder then if he is sign him up exicting player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi-jaq Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Witsel is a cracking player... He's a bit of a Robbie Savage type, with ability & some real aggression, the coaching staff will have to reign this in though as he is very prone to making stupid tackles after nearly ending the careers of 2 blokes in Belgium. He works well with Steven Defour... if we are going all out we should have a crack at him too!!! Together they are a similar pair of players to Tugay & Robbie Savage, who in my opinion were the best midfield duo we have had for years. No point getting too excited yet is there???
