Willian

[sdotzdot]

This is quite a safe transfer but risky at the same time.

Not really ecstatic with it but if Auba re-signs our biggest worries absolutely lie in defence and midfield and we can’t sort out everything at once, so getting Willian in for the time being to bulk up our attack a bit with a good experienced player makes sense if we do the business in the other positions. Will hold my reservations until the window is up.

 

[GDeep™]

Do you think Auba is going to be keen on signing an extension if we’re signing players from Brentford?

Alongside, Partey, a top defender etc, why not? Benrahma is a French speaking baller too. I think he’s just waiting on the money anyway, if a top club really wanted him he would go no matter who we sign.

We can sign Messi and he’ll still leave if Real, Barca, Bayern, Juventus etc want him.

Kids like a 30 year old Azpilicueta and a 26 year old Rudiger...

Tomori started the season. Zouma is playing. What are you on about?

How is a 25 year old Zouma a kid ffs, he's been in England since 2014 too

Why is this getting less hate than Coutinho?

Despite Coutinho being talented, Willian is the more consistent player that doesnt waste numerous attacking plays through selfish play and poor final decison making.

Soon to be 26. He's the new Lingard.

I'd be happy with Willian. Been chelsea best player after Kovacic and Pulisic this season.

Never been World class but a very good, consistent PL winger. Yes he is 32 but he's coming off his highest scoring season with Chelsea, has a good engine and has stayed pretty injury free for most of his career.

Would probably be a better option at RB than Bellerin if needed as well.

 

[Football Manager]

William would be our best winger if he came here and is old enough not to get in the way of Martinelli, Saka or Nelson.

Straight swap for Mkhi would be good business. Willian and Pepe on the wing with Auba central would be excellent.

I'd even prefer Willian at AM to 2020 Özil.

Not saying he is bad. But he is very old.

He could be phenomenal for half a season/a whole season. But what after that? Are we going to pay wage again for a player that has past his peak?

Much preferred to invest in 23 years old player who has a higher re-selling value.

If we really have to sign him, go for a one year performance based deal plus extension.

 

[teamsoutheast]

Would those of you moaning about his age take David Silva short term?

 

[Beksl]

He averages 5 goals a season in the league with penalties, and he’s turning 32 soon, you’re acting like we’re signing a production machine.

And your point being?

 

[Beksl]

No grand goodbye, soon as he signs I’m done.

[say yes]

****s sake. France football are very reliable.

 

[Marjorie]

4 years for Cedric was bad enough,but Kia really would be taking us to the cleaners if he secures that

 

[balthazar]

had a peep at the Chelski forum, and most seem happy to let him go, especially if he demands a 3-year contract.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We didn't win fa cup qualified for Europe to offer Willian 3 + 1 deal Kia is not an Arsenal fan he evil

 

[balthazar]

up to 4 years? f...ing hell.
How do I get Kia to negotiate my next salary for me?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Very rich, too.

Yes all super agent are rich and c**ts and fat.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

In desperate need for a new fan letter - "We don't Kia, do you?"

 

[field442]

Best thing about this so far is this ****s meltdown.
