Zola kinda blue 89 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I reckon 25 million will get him, he reminds me of Jesper the Gronk, speeedy, gets into great positions, except Willian can actually cross!I like the template we are following anyway - young (under 25) and not yet quite a star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just spoken to Shakhtar Donetsk chief. Rejected £16.6m (€20m) bid from Chelsea for Willian.From sky sports!!!AVB you liar So this can put to bed all that nonsense that AVB does not want to buy.Of course AVB knows our squad is shit, but he is not going to say so publicly ala Mancini style.I explained this to some people as to how AVB choose to act like this. Is just like SAF. They know they need to buy players, but they don't want to say that publicly and act like everything is normal.....

He isn't going to say we need to buy, our squad is awful for confidence reasons and keeping the dressing room together!I just hope he wasn't lying about only making two signings this transfer window seeing we could really do with Hazard for morale and obvious reasons!

Zola kinda blue 89 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The curse of Twitter strikes - who to believe?http://twitter.com/#!/MilliLeaks_Just to clarify. Shakhtar were not offered €20m for Willian today. They were asked last week if that figure was enough. No, was the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess some managers will be like that if they are planning long term, not just one or two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess some managers will be like that if they are planning long term, not just one or two years?Yea, i just hope he doesn't become to lackluster in showing power and strength when Roman allows him to dip his hand into the transfer market! Think getting a player like Hazard on top of this Will.i.an would show that we still mean big fucking business! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I would say that another bid will go in fairly shortly if shaktar are telling the truth about the first bid. A big distance tho between 16.5 mill and 25 (supposed acceptable price) mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've only watched him play three times so I may be mistaken, but I think he does not play on the wing, in which case I'm not sure he is the type of player we should be signing.

themightyblue 443 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Think we'll get Willian, but does anyone else get the feeling that he won't be our only signing this January? I still think they'll be another attacker coming in and by attacker i mean winger/CAM. Don't think Avb will exactly give up on the CL just yet and will try to bring in another option that could play in that competion because even if we sign willian, an injury or suspension to Mata or Sturridge in the CL will mean Malouda or Kalou coming in. Maybe there is something in that Munian story as we are currently in Spain and maybe Freddie Boswell is speaking some truth when he says we're watching Gaston Ramirez.

However, he can definitely play as a winger much more ably than Mata as he is quicker and has more tricks up his sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 BIG MISTAKE to sign him and not Hazard for almost the same price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 BIG MISTAKE to sign him and not Hazard for almost the same price!You think that if we could get Hazard for the same price, then we wouldn't get him? Obviously Hazard isn't available till Summer unless we pay stupid amounts now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look: Thanks mate, but I really don't like to rate players based youtube videos.Anyways, AVB must have seen something in him, I trust his signings.
