Summer transfer thread 2012

[Shaggy]

BBC reporting Witsel cost Zenit £32m

£64m for him and Hulk (also £32m, obviously)

[Chazza]

Its an incredible amount of money for the pair particually Witsel who I think signed for Benfica for around 8m?

[Alex]

Belgium should be some team. Dembele, Witsel, Hazard and Fellani in Midfield from them. Vertonghen , Vermalen and Kompany at the back and Lukaku up front.

That's going to be a hell of a team at the World Cup.

I was just going to post something similar. Surely they must have a good chance next WC. Only problem is striker position, as it stands.

[Shaggy]

Mad that they didn't qualify for the Euros.

That lad the Bitters signed recently - Mirallas - is another.

There's also Dries Mertens.

[Fierce]

Umm, Meireles has gone to Fenerbahce?!

[Shaggy]

Another slightly strange one although he was clearly out of the picture at Chelsea.

Dirk & Raul back together

They have a good defence and midfield but they don't have a single good striker. Lukaku isn't upto the job so they struggle to score goals

[Liverpool]

belgium probably wont qualify for the WC tough group

[yamiedo]

I bet Newcastle have signed a number of bargains again. Bigirimana looked really good against Villa the other day. Their record with transfers is pretty phenomenal.

no wonder there chief scout is on more money than the players

[Alex]

There record recently has been good. But they have brought some whoppers in the past.

Belgium seem to me to be a team of great individuals but not a great team. They seem to have a fair few arrogant, massive egos in their team. Look how many of their playes come across as massive ******s:

- Hazard
- Fellaini
- Witzel
- Lukaku

There's probably more too. They are a bit like Holland in that respect.

Kompany...

[Lee]

Kompany seems sound from the interviews I've seen him give.
