Willian Joins Arsenal

[BigPoppaPump]

Mikel buzzing with this signing, specifically wanted Willian and the board delivered.

Guess it's #ArtetaOut then.

 

[tap-in]

He’s a good player but not sure how much financial sense this makes.

Oh well, hope this works out.

£15.6m over 3 years makes financial sense to me. Its not like we've paid a fee for him!

 

[Makingtrax]

He has a lovely smile which is rare for men.

WTF?

 

[Riou]

WTF?

It's true though, so few like Willian and myself left anymore.

On AM free signings are as if they cost a fortune and will be judged as such.

Anyone saying they like this signing, and if Willian isn't a world-beater for Arsenal, will be ridiculed for eternity.

 

[Macho]

WTF?

It's kinda true tbh

Might be decent for us but a complete waste of money and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Bum Raul though so no shock, onto the next Kia player.

Might be decent, and if he's decent you won't be convinced? Weird.

 

[razörist]

Welcome!

 

[Jasard]

Can’t believe this actually happened. @Hunta will be rolling in his army bed ffs.

I'm always excited for him to return as he just explodes in to so many rants

 

[BigPoppaPump]

So anytime Chelsea players get old and washed but like living in London we give them asylum?

 

[berric]

Gonna judge his impact in our hunt for top 4 spot this year.

If we achieve it and he plays his part while also paving a way for youngsters to develop without spotlight, I'll deem him a success.

[boonthegoon]

And as usual gives the most boring template interview saying "big club, new project"

We all know you are here just for that 3 year contract + staying in London.

Ah well just hoping he has good season like his last with Chelsea.

 

[Impact]

Good signing. Provides quality, experience, depth and character to a squad going through a rebuild. A needed profile. Looking forward to seeing Willian play.

 

[drippin]

Why would Willian want an option for Arsenal to extend at that age?

Didn't make any sense to me. It's not him who can extend in that situation?

 

[dka1]

But I'm not talking about his ability, how could I be when I said he might be decent but then said he's a complete waste of money in the same sentence.

I'm talking about his age, potential decline, fit, and the fact that he's not the profile of player we should be going for if we're serious about rebuilding.

 

[say yes]

Shameful lack of gifs in this. Summary of what’s going through peoples minds.

Me:

Bum squad:

Usual suspects:

@Trilly, @OnlyOne , @rich 1990 and the rest of the Morris dancers:

The option would be for the club, I guess.

Arteta has talked how youth cannot be given too much responsibility so their development doesn't stunt.

Willian gives us instant EPL top 4 quality with free transfer, and is not on the way for next years to give more & more time for the youth.
