Axel Witsel to be Mr. X?

78

ALEX WITSEL may become an AC Milan player soon.

Reports from Belgium are suggesting that Milan are in talks with Standard Liege for a possible transfer.

The 22-year-old, who scored 10 goals in 37 games last term, could arrive to strengthen the Rossoneri’s midfield following Andrea Pirlo’s recent switch to Juventus.

Cassano staying at Milan, insists agent

As, Mr.Allegri pointed out the description of “Mr.X”, Witsel fits perfectly as he has a lot of hair on his head and is exactly 1.83.

He is only 22 but would be a strong addition for the team, who is looking to compete in the Champions League more competetively.

I don’t think he’s Mr X. I think he’s a strong player who is primarily a defensive midfielder. And he’ll be low cost too.. I hear as low as 8 million. But i doubt he’ll be the big signing this summer… or that he’s even Mr X.

Regardless, he’ll be one great signing. He’s the best Belgian player out there up with Hazard. Maybe we’ll sign Hazard too… because he’ll want to play with Witsel. Just an idea.

Giancarlo

I dunno. I checked Witsel in recent photos… he doesn’t have much hair… at one point he had braids I think kinda like Sagna.

I don’t think its either one player or another. It’s certainly not Bale.

Skidney

Mr X could be Juan Vargas from Fiorentina.

milan for life

berlusconi said he’s be a champion.

pj

Galliani said today: that MR X, has blue eyes.

maldini

this is awesome news……. btw does anyone know when does the summer transfer market start?

Pato 7

I said that on the previous article

Ryan

if we get Hazard too….that would be awesome half of our midfield worries gone and AMF worry gone

derek

good player and would be a good purchase BUT when it comes to a “big coup” of the market or gift from berlusconi i dont think so, berlusconi loves big name players and a gift from him would be a big name player, plus he only fits part of the description, hes not robust

Giancarlo

Witsel is a robust player, but I agree. I don’t think it is him. I think however he would be an excellent addition to our squad. The successor to Van Bommel.

B&G want a big name signing…

Loser

Maybe Allegri did a joke about a player of 1.83 m tall.. Lets wait and see till its official ;)

Pato 7

This 1.83m is making a lot of controversy

panda warrior

everytime when i saw the news about someone who fits in our hair & height theory, i can’t stop laughing.XD

thiagosilva86

Witsel fits every description to a T , he will be a great addition to our squad let’s face it if you all think we can beat the likes of barca/man utd/madrid with van bommel starting in ucl think again won’t happen

rossonero23

Gattuso or Ambro should of left…Witsel could of been their replacement.
If we sign him, we’ll have 5 defensive mids…lol.

Giancarlo

It’s not certain if Gattuso is staying. There is talk that he may be considering offers from different countries. Witsel is more a replacement for Van Bommel.

ayish

VARGAS!

Giancarlo

Side note guys, Alberto Paloschi scored for the Italy U-21 Team in the Toulon tournament today. :) The U-21 won 2-0 against Ivory Coast. Traore was sent off lol.

Northwave

i think gattuso should go to make room for montolivo and we get witsel as an mvb understudy and buy schweinsteiger and hamsik and our midfield will be complete. also let cassano go and try to get matri for an ibra understudy as he wont be expensive

panda warrior

“Witsel fits perfectly as he has a lot of hair on his head and is exactly 1.83.”

LMAO!!!!why everyone’s looking at hair and height? This is so stupid to look for a player based on his hair and height…

He’s Mr. Z, after all maybe.

Ryan

Hmm…i’ll be saddened if Gattuso leaves..but all good things must end *sigh*….and ‘Van bommel successor’ sounds funny lol….he hasnt even had a full season with us

Giancarlo

Even though he’s only been here half a season, he’s cemented his spot in the starting line-up. I underestimated VB, and he’ll be here another season :)

And anyone watching Nigeria-Argentina? Nigeria is all over Argentina.. 4-0, two goals by Uche… and Taiwo is amazing from what I’m hearing. I can’t find a stream for it though. :(

Northwave

espn3.com has it

sherbini

this is not a gift for milan fans. i don’t think he is the surprise.

Rico

i think i know who mr. x is!

it is keisuke honda, he is 183 and a champion!
and fly emirates wanted to buy him for milan last year, to creat new markts in asia and win new fans for ac milan!

i hope honda comes, he is a very good player

Reza

Hey do u have seen gareth bale introduce in wikipedia.it writes bale’s club is milan and number 3.see it

derek

wikipedia can be changed and editted by anyone who wants to, thats why it is not a reliable website

Fredrik

He is just small signing, But Excellent player… Like Boateng…

Fabregas and Pastore will be the big ones…

And asamoah will also come, And maybe Demba Ba or Lukaku !

derek

galliani added blue eyes to the list today, this reminds me of a description to find a criminal

Ali, SVK

Blue eyes fit Witsel, so we know our Mr. X the Left Midfielder. Now on to the next one – Scudetto gift from Silvio!

derek

i dont think this is who our mr x is, this is more of a good signing like last year with KPB, and i think he would be more of a replacement for van bommel, i still think there will be two big name players come in, berlusconi loves big name players and wants to add more

stef

i think mr x is bale he will be gr8 2 have

leonel

i have heard that witsel is a dirty player that always make fouls, we alredy have mexes and we want fore dirty players??

derek

the tackle he had on wasilewski was pretty gruesome, broke the guys leg, on the replay it appeared as if he was trying to stomp on the guys leg as the ball was no where close to where his foot was, but the injury definitely makes me cringe when you see it

Yehez Kiel

witsel is a bit like gattuso and van bommel and even flamini! he plays hard-ball! if ppl complain flamini plays like terrorist then why isnt witsel?

Giancarlo

Btw, I’m surprised I didn’t catch this error, but it’s Axel Witsel, not Alex Witsel.

derek

i was just gonna say that to, i didnt catch it at first

Kaká

Mr x is Pastore

rossonero23

hahha….Argentina’s C team…
Taiwo was excellent….particularly going forward.
lmao

Giancarlo

No, it was Argentina’s B team. But even if it was their A team, Nigeria still would have won. Nice try though!

rossonero23

LOL…..
The same Nigeria who lost to Argentina in the WC? The same Nigeria that finished last in the group?
Run along Giancarlo.:D:D

Giancarlo

To a dubious goal that was off-side? You’re a moron. I’ll just say that. Argentina struggled badly against Nigeria in the World Cup. Nigeria nearly equalised many times, and should have won that game. Get a clue little boy.

rossonero23

Predictability at it’s finest.:D
They’re lucky Messi’s finishing was poor…otherwise things would of gotten messy.
Go play with your toys dude.

vicnas

super eagles rock.

Mr.RaZa

Im not sure who Mr.X is because there ae too many names linked with milan. If i was to narrow it down, i would say it is Bale, Witsel, Schweinsteiger or Fabregas. I would choose fabregas out of this group, but he would probably go Barca and he’s not gonna be sold for less than 40mil. Schweinie is unlikely because he’s attached to Bayern, he wouldnt come for less than 30mil. Bale probably wouldnt come because Spurs wont sell for less than 40mil. But he might want to leave because spurs are in Europa league. Milan would get out-bid by… Read more »

milan

i swear some people are so dumb. im 150% positive when allegri gave that specific description he was being ironic, dont actually go out of your way to check peoples’ height etc.it was a joke!and i really think that witsel would be nothing more then a squad player, not because he’s bad but because of galliani’s own words.we want the CL NEXT YEAR. if we want to do that, wed likely have to beat barca, plus many other teams like chelsea madrid inter manchester will also be getting stronger for the same goal as us. if we wnat to win,… Read more »

TWF

some rumours that i heard are:
1. milan are tracking henrique lima and thiago ribiero, both are midfielders from cruzerio, brazil.
2. real madrid put gonzalo higuain on the sale list this summer for €15m.
3. barcelona are ready to make a summer bid for thiago silva for €25m + maxwell.
there are now news that milan will sign either witsel, bale, schweni or hazard.

derek

dont make me laugh, 25 million plus a left back we dont need, thats a joke!

Giancarlo

We can’t sign Maxwell. And we won’t accept a 25 million bid. Milan turned down all offers, so Barcelona isn’t “ready” to do anything. Plus we extended his contract to 2016.

DOn’t you guys read the news or not?

Kelly

TWF, you are right about barca biding 25million euro plus maxwell, i also saw it but i laught. All i to is dat SILVA is not for sale. Even if they add messi plus 40million euro, which barca cant do. He is not for sale at any price. I trust galliani. Barca must be stupid to think of having silva. Well i know dat in football anything is possible, but not with SILVA. We can give dem bonera and antonini for dat price.

Giancarlo

We just renewed his contract to 2016 just a while ago. What is Barcelona thinking? I think it’s just a stupid news rumor.

pzacc

hey it is say that milan have an agreement with two cruzeiro miedfielders! henrique pacheco and tiago ribeiro

Giancarlo

Thiago Ribeiro is a forward. Henrique is a DM. Don’t need him. Tell me, how would we transfer for them? There is no agreement. They are non-EU. Henrique is just overrated anyways. There was a discussion but no agreement.

Yehez Kiel

i prefer thiago ribeiro.. very skilled player!

Giancarlo

Argentina only beat Nigeria in the world cup to an off-side goal. Of course, Rossonero23 won’t recognize that fact. What a liar. Nigeria was dominating in that match.

rossonero23

So dominating, yet, they finished last.
LMAO

Milan Fan

I know who Mr. X is!! Lucho Gonzalez!!

Height 1.85,
Born in Argentina,
Plays in the French League,
Thick dark hair,
Versatile midfield who can play on the left.

I’m not saying i like the deal, but it fits everything that allegri/galliani have said, no question!

Giancarlo

He’s like 35 years old. No thanks. And totally overrated.

If we’re going to get someone he’ll be under 28.

derek

come on man, you seriously cant believe that, he is never going to be anyones mr x y or z, let alone our mr x

aodac269

who is he ??

prasad chiplunkar

i hope he is vargas . . he is class!! . . swap cassano for vargas!!!

Ryan

Vargas is a defender/winger….his crosses and long passes are good and also can take free kicks…..but too bad we are not linked with him :(

Yehez Kiel

vargas isnt world class! it would be crazy to swap cassano for him! especially since we already have lots of fullbacks!

Rossoneri Diavoli

JOVETIC :)) 1m83 and good hair :)) I like it most :))

julian

all wat we ned now is a fantastic man at d midl plz Galiani do somtin bcos we ned champions leagu nex cz

flowchild

@ giancarlo it 4-1, i’m a nigerian i watched match,taiwo is awesome,ran their defence ragged,provided an assist.he is a good addition 4 d rossoneri.

Ryan

i hope he improves his defence too!!

Yehez Kiel

guys i just heard that milan have offered 30M and 2 players of these choice : merkel, paloschi, strasser and emanuelson!

Lonic

for wich player did they offer 30M and 2 players??

Yehez Kiel

not sure.. arsenal could pick 2 out of those 4 players

Jay Jay Okocha

Guys, Witsel used to play as defensive midfielder, now he plays central mid or LCM… for the belgian national team he played as AM or CM, He can play many position!

kostadin41

alex vitcel is not the mr x he is the new lm in milan for me the mr X is FABREGAS

Sameon

lol yeah same Milan offer at Arsenal For Fabregas 30 m + 2 player

Mr.RaZa

Milan Shouldn’t do that Fabregas Deal because i dont want the Milan youngsters to go to another club unless it’s for a loan or a co-ownership. Merkel, Paloschi, Emanuelson, Strasser are all good players and Milan shouldn’t sell any of them because Milan will need a deep squad for CL. Milan should sell some players but not these players.

gbengezy

i really like this guy a lot but he’s not the Mr X, the Mr x shud be Arsenal contract Rebel Samir Nasri, he would be ideal for us instead of spending so much on Cesc, he has a yr left on his contract so i think 18m-20m shud get him
