Peace. 4,352 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Why are you saying it is a Roman's signing ? Maybe André wants this player, and it happens Roman is a friend of Shakhtar owner, thus he plays with his connections to get a fair price.

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 "We have received a bid from Chelsea for Willian valued at 20million euros, but he is not for sale," Palkin told Sky Sports News.Contradicting reports coming out. One one side we have Daily Fail and on the other SSN. I do hope these guys are as stern as Levy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Eriksen - 25-30m. Can't see him coming here though, read what his Dad said about us lol.* the fees are just rough guesses from the rumours i've read about these players.Barcelona rejected him too, but his dad kept his damn mouth shut about that. Ultimately it is Christian Eriksen's decision and not his father's and I won't write him off till something happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Lucas Moura, Lucas Ocampos, Eriksen, Shaquiri, Munian etcLucas and Eriksen are CAM by nature, not wingers.Ocampos is playing football in Argentina's second division, Willian/Hazard are playing CL football. Shaqiri is about to join Galatasaray, and Iker Muniain, whilst talented, is a 19year old winger who wants to stay in spain to join Barcelona.None of those you mentioned are realistic.

Spike 12,049 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 But we rejected him twice Well it depends on his character then. If he is the spiteful vengeful sort he will snub, but that is a very negative mindset to have. He should join the team where he can flourish the most. So no Real Madrid or Barcelona.He is still very young and should stay at Ajax for a year or two longer. Van Dar Vaart and Sneijder struggled at Real Madrid, so maybe he has some foresight.

Kojo 4,676 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't think we need a great winger, i think we could do with a hungry winger who would make an impact coming off the bench and was reliable at times, and of course would get his game, a winger who has trickery and can actually offer something rather than that garbage Malouda who does nothing on a wing. Like i've said i wouldn't mind Victor Moses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rising Sun 711 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 that video doesnt make me think too highly of this guy. looks more like a newcastle signing than a chelsea standard player. Could be wrong though. Hope this signing is not like the Meireles signing...a quick fix, and then your stuck with a player who is not good enough for your club.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 People are so dismissive... Demba Ba looked like a 'Newcastle signing' 12 months ago and now he is one of the best strikers in the EPL and worthy of a starting berth at any English team.

nono 791 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Honestly I hope this signing doesn't go through. It feels like we are replacing one Kalou with another. We already have too many mediocre players in the team. Adding more will not really help in the long term. Look how Meireles has turned out.

Look how Meireles has turned out.how do you know Willian truly is mediocre and has no potential? I am interested to see how you argue that. Drawing comparisons with Meireles will be void, every case is individual and they are as different players as they can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonPride1905 236 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 how do you know Willian truly is mediocre and has no potential? I am interested to see how you argue that. Drawing comparisons with Meireles will be void, every case is individual and they are as different players as they can be. You know it is because he is not proven right? I mean Hazard is worth every peny just because he is named by every f**ked up specialist that is "the Next BIG thing" yet Willian is just a side - show character. After that we gaze and wonder how Chikiriki(chicharito ) or Welbeck score everymatch, whilist Torres can't score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just so I can clear some things up, I'm going to state that there are three types of formation I see Willian fitting in with us...1)There's this idea, where Willian can play as an attacking midfielder, behind Torres, and with Sturridge and Mata either side... this is the one type of formation I'm hoping for in all fairness because in this formation, you have Romeu sitting deep to protect the back four, which he does really well.. give him credit, you've got Ramires being used as the box-to-box midfielder.. the one who engineers pace and speed.. and Willian is used as the provider for Torres, or to the wingers...2)This formation would also work well, but the only reason why I'm not in favour of it as opposed to the first formation, is because Willian is in place of Sturridge, and depending on how Willian performs for us, if AVB does indeed install him in that position, would push Sturridge down the pecking order... and, seeing as I'm a fan of Sturridge at the moment, I'm not too keen on this idea.. although Willian and Mata as wingers does seem pretty mouth watering if you consider the pace both of them have...3)This formation provides huge creativity as well... you have Willian dictating the creativity, and you have Mata and Sturridge as wingers, and Torres through the middle.. Lampard can come up and have a crack at goal also if he gets the chance.. though the reason I'm not in favour of this one either, is because... taking into account our poor defending while using the high-line tactic, this approach to a game clearly shows that our defence can be easily breached.. I seem to notice when we play games, Chelsea defend much better when they have a DM sitting back and protecting JT and Luiz/Ivanovic at the back... but the only reason this could prove me wrong, is because of the fact that Ramires is quick enough to get back if need be.----In conclusion, I'm in favour of the 1st formation simply because we are evenly balanced in midfield. You have Willian creating the play, a box-to-box midfielder in Ramires to act as either an extra man defensively or offensively, and you have a pacey DM in Romeu who can tackle hard and win the ball, and break up play!

Kieran. 6,317 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 All are interesting, but I think you're overrating Mata's pace a bit! I don't think he's fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
