Willian | Signed for Chelsea

Having seen him quite a few times in the CL, I must say I'm very impressed, particularly last season.Very skilful, excellent speed and acceleration, vision and a powerful shot.

As I said earlier in the thread, I think he's the real deal.
 
If we sign him he will surprise a few. A couple were raving about him after last years champions league performances.. Where have you guys all gone.
 
do not want, im sure he's a good player but is he really any better than what we have? especially for the money quoted
 
Why isn't he called William? Wow another non typical Brazilian name. Let's have a property one...
 
God I hate Spurs, will there ever be a summer where they actually scout their own transfers?

Yeah, I'm sure the Brazilian international with 6 seasons in the Champions League who was transferred for 30 million earlier this year would've been completely unknown to them had it not been for you guys' interest.

I don't mean just Willian it's a recurrent theme every single year, hell it's not even the first time this summer!

lol at this tweet:



edit: Just checked and Spurs bid £25m for Carroll the window Liverpool bought him. Last year it was Dempsey and Sigurdsson, this year Mikhtaryan and now Willian.

What is your basis for this accusation? By all accounts, Willian wasn't for sale until recently due to the Anzhi owner having a meltdown.
So just because the media linked you to hm a week earlier than he was linked to Spurs, they have stolen him from you?

Where's your tinfoil hat?
 
Spurs also stole Gylfi and Dempsey from under the nose of Liverpool last summer.

Spurs have never had the remotest interest in Carroll and certainly didn't bid £25 for him never mind £25 million. Not did we pursue Mikhtaryan.

As for Willian, Spurs tried hard to sign him last summer when AVB first arrived, but lost out to the mega-money riches of Anzhi. AVB has long had a connection with - and interest in - Willian.

I don't agree with you often, but you're bang on here. You tried to sign him last year.

The very notion that Spurs would be stealing Liverpool targets is laughable. You're comfortably better than them, and unless your aim is to fall out of contention for the Champions League places, chasing Liverpool level players wouldn't be the aim.

Much like how United wouldn't chase players at Spurs level.




*snigger*
 
Is @willianborges88 his real Twitter? He just followed Paulinho, Sandro and a fake Rafael account after previously following Coutinho and Lucas.
 
I'm pretty sure they did, it was about 2 days before he signed for Liverpool, Spurs bid £18m but Newcastle wanted £25m then the dippers bid £35m

Spurs were linked with every striker in Spain around that time. I dont remember them being linked with Carroll

Will always raise a smile. Never not funny.
 
So he followed Lucas Leiva and Coutinho on twitter giving signs of a deal to Liverpool being imminent and having Liverpool fans wanking themselves silly - yet Spurs has become a serious destination for him now?

WUM of the year in the making. Please make this happen.
 
I think historically there has been a lot of suspicion around Spurs' transfer targets just being bought off the back of other interest. The more reliable of the Arsenal in the knows seem to all think that.

You could also argue that given Spurs/Arsenal/Liverpool are all around each other in the league, the kind of targets are inevitably going to be similar anyway.

He's enjoying this. :lol:
 
Pretty sure Rafael doesn't have twitter :lol:

Liverpool should be thankful, Dempsey is gone back to the US after a year and Coutinho is a level above Sigurdsson.
 
Why am I getting a text from a dipper saying he's in Manchester just been spotted at the airport....?
