2015/2016 Midfielders Rumour Thread

[TGDella]

Didn't west Ham decide they didn't want to redeem him? That's a red flag.

I don't really trust anything going on with West Ham this season, or in general for that matter - always some kind of shadey things around (remember the Tevez-Mascherano deal?). In this instance, Song played extremely well for them I thought at the beginning of the season, helping them to european places at the midway stage, before his form dropped along with the rest of the team, which seemed to come at the same time that it leaked out that Alladyce would be getting dismissed at the end of the season. This was supposed to be a secret of course, and his sacking was announced 2 minutes after the final whistle of the last game of the season which showed how it had been planned for a long time. Weird shit, and I think there could be all sorts of reasons for Song not being redeemed. But yes, he had a poor second half of the season, so it could just be that.

 

[Wobblz]

I've read theyre actually interested in redeeming him and the price is 7M Euro. Depending on the wage it could be a pretty good deal for a 27 y-o player who's played successfully at Arsenal and Barcelona, I mean ATM I'd take a pile of shit before Melo, even a 32 y-o Motta.

 

[Max]

If we have a chance to get Song for fair price, which is under 10 mils we should go for it. There is no chance to find such a experienced and still 27y old player that cheep. Its definitelly better option then Melo, Motta or any other DM we are connected with.

 

[crzdcolombian]

West ham Refuse to put 5 million pounds for Song. It's a steal and if Barca gives us that deal it's time to jump at it. Tho think his wage is very high and that might be the actual road block there

Looks like Merda are about to sign Witsel.

He is good player but Kondogbia >>>>>> Witsel!

 

[Burgnich]

Galliani's way of running a club is to please fans by signing 1 big name footballer every summer. (Milan fans are like Jusin Bieber fans. One big name and they are cheering like little Bieber-girls( somewhat similar to Inter fans to some extent)

Mihajlović is a team builder, he doesn't need the biggest stars to create a strong team. For him it's more important to find the proper qualities for each position on the pitch. Mancini is the oppostite, he needs 200-300 million every summer to create an ok team.

Milan really need 2 quality CB's. Their current central defenders are fat and slow, all of them. (Bonera, Mexes, Rami, Zapata, Paletta...)

Milan have same problems like Inter too many overpaid footballers that are close to impossible to sell.

Kondogbia > Witsel??

uh, perhaps 3 matches in the last 5 years Kondogbia > Witsel. The 150 other matches Kondogbia < Witsel. :trolldad:
(ok, Witsel is no world class footballer, but Kondobia hasn't done anything yet to deserve to be labelled better than Witsel. )

This doesn't make much sense as it is like comparing Lahm to Messi.

or Melo to Muntari

I rate Benassi highly. He is an allrounder, no weaknesses. If he keeps on improving step by step he gonna turn into a fantastic teamplayer.

I also rate him, but he's far from being a starter for us now. Especially as DM and especially with our defence. But i'm agree he might be great player taking into account that he's only 21. We must do not sell him.

Yeah, and Mancini is not exactly known for his grooming of youngsters into stars. Neither is Inter in general. The best place for Benassi could be clubs like Sampdoria, Genoa, and then in 2-3 year Juventus or Lazio.

Since you probably watch Zenit and Russian league regularly, can you tell me what has Witsel done since his Benfica departure and why they're willing to sell now?

Nope, I don't watch russian football. But I have seen Witsel on international level for 4-5 years now, every year contributing for his national side and his club in Europen tournaments. He is an experienced footballer, unlike Kondogbia, which isn't even a one-season wonder, but a 2 match wonder.

I know nothing of Witsel's transfer situation, only 1 rumour of Milan wanna sign him. Perhaps he doesn't wanna leave at all.

 

[thatdude]

Kondogbia a 2 match wonder.

So you mean you know nothing about Witsel more than a 5-game-a-season wonder? Then how can you claim Witsel had 150 matches being better than Kondogbia's? By your logic Podolski and Giovani dos Santos are world class.

 

[Max]

This doesn't make much sense as it is like comparing Lahm to Messi.

I didnt compare players on different position. They can cover pretty much same roles so yes, its possible to compare and in my opinion Kondogbia is more complete player then Witsel and he is younger too...

Witsel has been winning titles and championships for years. Two past years in a row the most capped Zenit player. Before that he was the star player at Benfica and Standard. From age 18 he has been ("100 %") an starter for all his team.

But forget Witsel, what has Kondogbia done to deserve to be labelled a top footballer? I personally do struggle to find reasons to name him a top footballer.
I have seen Monaco all season in CL. They parked the bus in every match, Moutinho was they supreme star player. The rest were grey mush, until the last part of the season when their team grew in moral and all their players were bursting of confidence.
And the matches I did not watch: the french league, but then I watched the stats, and he was just mediocre. Hardly a starter for their club, poor ratings too. So, of what I have seen, and what I have read Witsel > Kondogbia.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

So Witsel has been single handledly wining titles and championships for years? Well, that's legendary. And being the most capped player at Zenit too, must be and impossible achievement.

Joking aside, I dont say who better than who, but from what you said, you know very little about Witsel, and I doubt you have watched Kondogbia more than a couple of time to give a fair judgement too.

im not asking for much but please show me these stats and ratings that make kondogbia poor or mediocre. also he had an injury that held him away for something like 15 games. sure he wont start when hes injured.
