Would've been the ideal Willian upgrade who could've taken our attack up a level. Here he could've been a nailed on starter playing every match and being an important piece. Instead he goes to sit on City's bench more often than not since they have Sterling and SanΓ© who are far too good to lose their spots. You think? Pep dropped Henry after a title winning season, i could see Mahrez taking Sterlings place pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they sell Willian they better sign a player who's at least as good as the Brazilian. And that's harder to pull off than most seem to think. Even if the worse comes to the fore on that score, Pedro is infinity times more suited to Sarriball than Willian. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I hope those that criticised Hazard for not wholeheartedly committing himself to the club keep that same energy for Willian. Β Dimitr and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β I didn't think there were that many, as he's rightfully waiting to see what direction the club are going in.The club should be shot of Willian the moment any of these rumours come to fruition.

Matic wasn't the reason either club finished in their respective positions.Our window closes on 9th August whilst La Liga is the end of August. There's multiple things to consider, so it isn't as cut and dry as you've tried to make out. Swiftly getting rid for a good price would be ideal.

Everyone who now for some unknown reason is saying how good Matic was for us and how we miss him blah blah blah should just remember the 16/17 season. 99% on here at one time or another was screaming Blue murder about him For not just 1 reason but for a list. Just go back if youve got some spare time and remind yourselves of just how bad his performances were. He had 1/2 or so of a good season since he came back. OK I Might give some of the problem may be we had Bane and Cahil at the same time but the 3 together was just a joke. I think Matic is a nice lad but if we had bought a better replacement (OR we do so this season - ummmmm) then he wont even be remembered, I dont mind that we sold HIM to Manure but no way I want them to get their filthy Manc hands on Willi.
