News from Belgium is that Arsenal have finally made some serious enquires about Standard Liege’s 20 year old attacking midfielder Axel Witsel
Arsenal have been linked with the youngster for some time as have Everton and occasionally Spurs but it now appears that only Arsenal have made any serious moves to get the player.
It is said that he would cost as much as €15 Million and that is near the top end of what Arsenal usually would pay but nonetheless still within their budget criteria.
Witsel has been very influential at Standard Liege and is good with both feet able to play left wing or right wing and if required through the centre.
He is also young enough to fit in with Wenger’s youth policy, a policy that in fact has won them nothing for a few years now.
That said do you think Witsel would be a good buy









NO!!
to be honest, i have never heard of this guy and all these rumours about Yaya Toure coming to Arsneal are exciting, just not believable.
I think that Arsenal need to dig into their wallets and bring in an experienced bull doser in teh centre of teh pitch, someone who has the same style of play as Marcos Senna, i mean… come on, its not everyday you see someone score a screamer liek he did against us at his age is it ?
If someone like him, younger, faster, stronger (probably not as strong) and just as determined and passionate as that guy. Then were in for a trophy.
Not some guy that hardly anyone has heard of or as young him, we need a talented and experienced player who can play at premeir league level and dominate the midfield, i recommened that Arsenal should aim for players like De Rossi, Mikele, Essien or even give all of us Arsenal fans the dream we desire, Yaya Toure.
Yes! We need a left-sided winger…..Arshavin to play behind RVP with Nasri on the right wing. This would be a great addition to the squad.
All lies, mate;try again but this is all lies!No quotes from either club, no sources that are credible or not,no logic for buying him with the array of midfielders Arsenal already has.And I can name more than a dozen ‘world class clubs’ whose investments in the last four years have yielded nothing; so why pick on Arsenal?-’…Wenger’s youth policy, a policy that infact has won them nothing for a few years now.’
arsenal is great one.
Gooner 4 life. Still keepin the faith
NO! NO! NO! we don’t need any attacking mid-fielder. We need a defensive one. So go for Yaya or Alonso at any cost.
I THINK THAT ARSEN WENGER IS LOOKING FOR A PLAYER WHO CAN FELL HIS PLAYS IN MIDDFIELD AND PLAY BEHIND ARSHVIN AND GIVE A GREAT HELP AND COVER TO FABREGAS
Excellent story, i ahve just returned from belguim and its all over the press there, arsenal will buy this man
y do we need another attacking mid player
Actualy, we dont need a player 4 dat position we need some body matual player who can hold ur mildfield, somebody like melo, yaya, alonso exsetra. Up Gunners
to be honest i dont believe he would spend 15 million on witsel or whatever his name is. he was pushy over arshavin signingfor 15 million let alonewitsel. we need a defensive mid like yaya toure or something. if birmigham supposedly bid for viera i think arsenalshould wecome him back
axel who
Cana looks good they all have to find away around cause no 1 goes through
I do not have any trust in wenger again.I can bet it that he wont buy any player again.This Axel Witsel’s of a thing is all bullshit which do not possess any iota of truth.We arsenal fans should be ready to prepare for the worst season starting by august.If we fail to buy at least 4 players one keeper,one defensive mid, 1 attacking mid and one reliable striker,wes hould forget winning anything next season.GUNNERS 4 LIFE
And if we bought him where do we bring Wiltshire and Ramsey through. If Rosicky returns we have an embarrassment of attacking midfielders. One quality, experienced defensive midfielder might change our season
no no no veloso,a centre back and a winger of capabilaty
veloso or senna
