Tiwaz 539 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Maybe it could be a blessing in disguise then?For 30 million the last thing he needs is pressure, if we don't have much thought on him or any high expectations then we might end up loving the guy.I most certainly hope so, but with many people against the transfer. There still might be a lot of pressure on him to prove them wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Willian will only add healthy competition to the team. We should be delighted that we arent' heavily dependant on Mata's or Hazard's form. We can actually rotate without having to compromize for the result. And who says Willian isn't as good as Oscar, Mata or even Hazard? I'm sure so many people will be positively surprised when this guy gets going. For a change we have a player who has been wanting to join us for a long time.Very excited and even more so than I would be if we signed Rooney. I don't understand how some people here were against signing the likes of Cavani and Falcao while would take Rooney in a heartbeat. I think Eto'o would be a pefect addition to us, will be around just for the time Lukaku is starting to hit his physical peak. Wouldn't cost a fortune and wages would be on par if not lower than Rooney's - but we don't know exact numbers so I'm just speculating. Also - the fact that the club wants to sign someone and has the funds for it doesn't automatically mean we'll get the target we're after. This isn't football manager people.

Toli 977 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The questioning is only out of hand to those who think Mourinho is the absolute God and whatever he does is absolutely right..well he even bought Quaresma and this guy has won the award for the worst signing in Italy. so you know Mou does it right.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 AVB on signing Steaua Bucharest defender Vlad Chiriches for Spurs: "Maybe someone will steal him as well"HAHAHA What a little bitch....perfect for Spurs.One thing to lose your best player, but to lose his replacement before he's even signed - maybe we should be nice to AVB and offer him back his job editing videos of our opponents. Probably be a pay rise over what Levy's paying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azpinator 2,325 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 People are so dumb, its unbelievable!Cant you all see we are building a dinasty with Luiz, Ake, Willian and now it is time to hijack Fellaini?And Witsel, and Dante!! Get 'em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well .... Willian a blue! I am actually very, very happy with this and I only see it s an upgrade of the team, not threat. The only thing I fear for is that the board took this opportunity and will take the foot of the gas for some of the signings we really could use, especially in the pivot (Witsel as said above - Hurraaaaaaa ! )I can see Oscar dropping to pivot and KDB getting a more central role in turns with Mata (if he stays .... ugh) and Oscar. We have so much quality now that it is becoming scary. This is a good thing - Hazard and Willian on the wings will be something to watch out for. Add Oscar and KDB for build up and crosses and enter a young, enormous, built like a tank finisher such as Lukaku ... wow. So .... HAPPYps: just don't sell or loan KDB or Mata - that would be a huge boner killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 One thing I'm looking forward to is finding out what the actual transfer fee is. I doubt it's the 30m being reported.The transfer is starting to make sense to me the more I think about it. I think Mourinho, having spent more time with the players and played some games, has had a rethink and the line-ups/rotations he planned have had to be altered or even scrapped.Something has changed and I personally think it's to do with Mata's performance against Villa. He was obviously not fully fit but perhaps Mourinho saw something he doesn't like? Might sound extreme and it's just guesswork but I doubt Mata will feature at RW, he'll be competing for CAM with Oscar.De Bruyne/Willian - Oscar/Mata - Hazard/Schurrle Moses unfortunate to miss out after a strong pre-season. Or maybe he stays part of the AM rotation and Schurrle moves further forward. Will be very interesting to see how this works out.Listen to this: the club announced the deal before the work permit, because they know Willian wont get it right now. So they will loan him to Inter de Milao for one season. Next season the club sell Mata and bring Willian back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm gonna be honest - I've avoided this thread since our interest ramped up again and that's not because I'm against this signing. Personally I don't think it's massively necessary but I trust the club and I'll always support any player who wears the blue with pride.But there was a really nasty undercurrent that cropped up in the Schurrle transfer. People who didn't like him or were worried about him cutting into the playing time of other players were not just writing him off, but seemingly willing him to fail before he even kicked a ball. That isn't something I've ever seen before in this club's support, or many others either.So whilst I'm not the biggest fan of this transfer, I'm willing to suspend my own reservations and get behind someone who is undoubtably a fantastic talent. Welcome to the club Willian, and I hope you contribute to our golden future. Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
