So, it seems like there's a huge battle for Witsel, Chelsea is one of the teams that fighting for him. His agent said that Witsel requested to leave Zenit.

In my opinion we should go after him, he could do great with Matic.

Would love him to sign tbh great player although could possibly be the end of Oscar if he was to arrive.

 

I do wonder what the future holds for Oscar. Really hope that after a summer off and time to recuperate that he is back fit and strong with a full preseason under his belt. I cant help but feel that if we let oscar go he would end up truly flourishing somewhere else, he's still a comparatively young lad so lets hope this is the season that he can really make his mark on the team.

Absolutely agree. Needs one more full season here before we decide what to do with him and the summer off could make a world of difference.

Was really into signing him last summer, but I'd be happy with us giving rlc a real shot. I don't think another centre mid is really a priority this summer, even if mikel goes we have zouma that can do the same job.

 

I doubt Mourinho will gamble that much on RLC, if Mikel leaves then I'm sure he will be replaced. Witzel might not be my first choice, but he is a workhorse and a very complete midfielder.

Oscar might be rotated a bit more with Fabregas, but we are already short on attacking midfielders/Wingers for us to sell.

There was a point 2 or 3 seasons ago it seemed all we had or were buying was attacking midfielders now we are short, how did that even happen

 

We sold Mata, KDB, Shurrle and sent Salah on loan. That leaves us with just Oscar, Hazard, Willian and "Cuadrado". We can play Remy, Ramires and Fabregas out of position, but Fabregas for Oscar is the only option that wouldn't weaken us.

Probably Juventus.

 

That's dependent on Pogba leaving I believe.

 

Given that Barca are favourites to sign him but wouldn't be able to do so until January at the earliest (when he will undoubtedly be cup tied for the Champions League) is Witsel going to want to contend with Pogba, Khederia, Vidal and maybe even Pirlo for a starting place?
