So is there any truth in the Axel Witsel rumours? That would be a real coup if we managed to get him he's a class act! Any news if our low bid for Pelle has been accepted yet?

According to dutch newssites the deal with pelle should be wrapped up tomorrow. A fee has been agreed

Thats interesting. I saw somewhere that our bid had been turned down

I'd love it if Witsel was true, but I just can't see it happening, he is seriously top class, and as ambitious as we are, I think this maybe one step too far! think coutinho, buttner etc. A "bigger" team comes in and heads turn!

Magic I think that's because we dident offer enough

Thanks Ruff. I think that's what I read. For us to go straight back in with a better offer speaks volumes about how much we want him then.

Fingers crossed these two will be unveiled by the weekend. Give the fans a light in the tunnel

Its not like we don't have the money, if zenit expect us to equal the price they bought him for then we could, but only if we're certain he's worth the £30ish million

Any rumours regarding a goalkeeper, I think we are going to need one. Best keeper I saw last year was Marshall and I think he could be available at reasonable money. Like Artur but he makes me very Grobelaar nervous!

Witsel would be a massive coup, could possibly see it but it depends on how the board sell their vision

@chrisdownj
Marshall would be good but Tan seems the Cortese type who'll probably tell us to 'fruck off'.
Valdes is on a free, injured until the end of the year though. Reina could be an outside chance?
