Fekir is more suited to the #10 role though 5 hours ago, eemanyooel said: Bailey Fekir and Pulisic are millions miles ahead of willian....go watch the world cup and see how average he is despite his technical proficiency...replacing willian this summer will be one of the most reasonable deal the club will ever pull...I struggle to imagine what he will contribute despite reported Sarri wanting him to stay....Selling Matic and Costa and replacing them with Bakayoko and Morata is not even the problem but the lack of quality injection hence while we end in 5th position...same scenario u want us to repeat this coming season again.. What a load of bullshit. If you were talking about replacing William with someone like Bale or even Douglas Costa I would agree, but you are coming up with Zaha, Pulisic, Bailey and Fakir...United and Barcelona are going after William, but Chelsea fans want to replace William with Zaha or unfinished products from Bundelisga. I don't see the logic of some people. Last season Matic and Costa were labelled as useless, and some people were even suggesting that Morata (the man who made Torres looks a bargain) was better than Costa.

This. William is a frustrating player. His WC display was a typical William in so many ways (when the game is tough, he usually just gets the ball and then passes it to a nearby player, or try something stupid without producing any real chance of goal), but the names people are throwing around to replace William is quite pathetic if you ask me. Sometimes I get the feeling people think real football is like playing video game, where you can get a 19/20 years old player with an overall of 79, then after a single season the kid already is a 88 rated player...or some of them are salty because he put some emojis in front of Conte in a instagram pic.

Willian starts for us,Brazil, and has Barcelona chasing him. Lets be honest Martial would get the Kalou treatment x2. Especially with the fans social media attention span now.

Why aren't Barcelona chasing him then? Mourinho was crying out for someone to take charge of his wing, and Martial refused to step up. Salah needed the time to come good, and KDB was never going to work with an egomaniac manager(and a goalkeeper which slept with his girlfriend). Martial has had it all laid out for him in manchester, and has not stepped up once. if we are giving people a run on potential, then we might as well use Musonda.

Weird that you say Martial didn't step up. He had 15 goals and 10 assists in the first half of last season (before Sanchez came in for them and basically took his spot). Plenty of Man U fans aren't happy with the purchase of Alexis, especially since it took Martial out of the team. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u stating that Willian is a better player hence we should keep him? I m confused!!! For me the thing with nobody is that there is always a chance of being somebody however the someone that we have is just bang average. I dont see what Barca saw in him, good for them if they could have pulled out something from Willian. However seem common sense prevailed for them along side our stupidity. The talent that Martial has is superb ... now whether he is able to take it to the next level or not is a risk that anyone will have to take. But he is surely a risk worth taking maybe not exactly like to like comparison to Willian but surely better than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Willian has averaged 8 goals per season (in ALL competitions) through this 4 years he was with us. Even less assists. And he is not even doing much else useful other than good dribbling here and there. He is easily replaceable, if you have anything in your head (not sure our board has) and if you start with finding replacement NOW. But, Barca went for better player and it's done now, Willy is staying. Opportunities like this are there for a grab. Not spending 200 millions on a players every year - THIS is what makes club big. Grabbing an opportunity, cause guess what - they will always come. And acting fast after that. Hell we could've easily said to Barca - "ok, he is yours, but just wait for us to find replacement". A lot of clubs do that. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
