Willian | Signed for Chelsea

Well he's being consistent at least, he was at Shakhtar and then went to Anzhi even though Spurs and Chelsea were interested in him then. You can't really say the same for Thiago though.


It's more the comparison of a player joining a club for the money rather than the opportunity of first team football. Munich didn't need Thiago like Chelsea don't need Willian. It's bizarre, surely must mean Chelsea will let us have Mata... or is that wishful thinking? :angel:
 
We don't need Willian, nor do Chelsea.

Him going to Chelsea has no effect on us for me, if it means less games for Mata/Hazard/Oscar and Mourinho fails to keep those 3 happy then that's fine by me.

I completely agree, they can only play 11 players. If he went to Spurs though, he'd instantly be an upgrade on Lennon.
 
I'm not entirely sure why Chelsea are pissing away £30m on him.

Perhaps the Ronaldo deal was in place and maybe this is a conspiracy to scupper the Bale deal, which fecks up the Ronaldo deal seeing as we won't sell them Rooney.

You know what, I'm right this is definitely the case.


O.o, thats a conspiracy theory I like! Mention of Ronnie!
 
I'd be surprised if they're actually in for him. It's probably his agent trying to get more money from Spurs.

Also, if Chelsea were in for him, having him and Schurrle as subs is pretty decent.
 
Pleased with this. Won't improve Chelsea's first eleven as I rate Oscar, Mata and Hazard higher.

Stinks of a mata plus cash deal for Rooney.

Or


What about Mata to Barcelona and Fabregas to us? When the Fabregas rumours were swirling around it was said Barcelona wanted Mata as his replacement.

Mata to barca, Cesc to us and Rooney to Chelsea.

Pie in the schky but feck it I've eleven more days or so.

And to make it even more silly, Bale to Real and Ronnie to us.
 
Here's RickyHayward, you can imagine him absolutely pummelling those keys:

Sick of those Chelsea ****S, Abramovich comes along with disgusting amounts of money, taking a CL spot from us every year and now ****ing take Willian for us? I ****ing hate football and those filthy ****S

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Seems Willian has most of the top 6 after him. When I bumped this a week or so ago I never thought it would take off like this! Was just putting it out there that I think he's the real deal. This arms race is getting crazy.

I'm guessing Mata will be off. Hopefully to Barca and they then let us have Sex.
 
Chelsea's new lineup:
----------------------------Cech----------------------------
----------------------------Terry----------------------------
-Mata-Schurrle-DeBruyne-Ramires-Moses-Hazard-Oscar-Willian-
----------------------------Torres---------------------------

No room for Lampard, unfortunately.
 
I'd say Levy is loving this. He seems like the sort that would really take this sort of rejection well.
 
37m Euros for a player they don't really need. What the feck are Chelsea playing at?

Drop Terry for him, Lamps can play a deep lying play-maker.

Mourinho's back, what do you expect? They'll be buying him so Spurs can't have him, given Spurs were their competition for a lot of last season. Same for their interest in Rooney.

De Gea

Nani Valencia Kagawa Carrick Rooney Welbeck Young Zaha

Still take your point, would seem an odd transfer. Maybe he really doesn't rate Mata.

I'd play Vidic.
 
What a little cnut he is though, practically agrees everything with Spurs, even has a medical (which I believe costs money) and will obviously end up joining Chelsea if the rumours are true given the fact that they will pay him more.

He clearly wasnt keen on Spurs, hence looking at his options. Its not his fault that he's a very good player and Spurs without Bale might not even get into the champions league
 
Maybe Willian was impressed by what he saw at Stamford Bridge yesterday....Kevin Friend's performance and all that...
 
The reality is Chelsea wanted him years ago when AVB was there. He would always have had Chelsea on his mind when it was clear he was being sold like the rest of the players, wondering if they'd come back in for him... or having to settle for Spurs
 
This transfer has all the hallmarks of a Manchester City 2008-10 one. Preventing their rivals from signing a target even though they don't quite need them themselves. Ridiculous.

Has Garry Cook pitched up at Stamford Brudge this past week?
 
If Moses and Mikel are on their way maybe Mourinho feels he can shuffle people's positions around and get the likes of Oscar or Ramires to play a bit deeper, using Essien for the occasions when you really need a more defensive minded midfielder.

Would be incredibly surprised if he let any of Mata/Hazard/Oscar/De Bruyne go, much as I would love to see Mata here.
