I wasn't sure when we were first linked with Willian back under AVB, but after watching him play well against us twice I can see he's a brilliant player.

To anybody who is still sceptical ask you to think back to last season when Oscar, Hazard and Mata were played to exhaustion because Benayoun and Marin were the alternatives. Think of that time we played Bertrand at LW in a Champions League final. Now look at all the options we have. Absolutely amazing.

Call me crazy but i think Jose Mourinho bought Willian as a replacement for the man who started as a 'False 9' for us at Old Trafford....

I think that he wants to develop Schurrle into a striker perhaps. If he does see Schurrle as a striker then he'd need someone to fill in the gap in midfield that Andre left. Hence the signing of Willian

I think that secretly Jose was hoping against hope that Schurrle would prove to the world that he infact has the ability to be an out and out striker at Old Trafford. This didnt happen but I think thats the route he's taking.

As for all of our other strikers... well, he's given Torres a chance (which quite frankly i think is a waste of time); he's given Ba a chance but he's yet to give Romelu a chance. So i think that Torres and Ba should be out of the equation leaving you with 2 strikers (one of whom is still being developed), Schurrle and Lukaku.

Welcome to the club Willian :blue scalf:

I think this is an Eden Hazard on the Right Wing. They both have similar attributes. Low CoG, very good technically, very fast, tricky, flashy etc. Now put Mata at 10 rotating with Oscar. KDB rotates with Willian while Shurlle rotates with Hazard or CF.

Lukaku/Etoo/Torres

Hazard/Schurlle-----Mata/Oscar---------Willian/KDB

Lampard/MvG------------Ramires/Essien/Mikel

Cole/Ryan---Terry/Luiz---Cahill/IVA----Azp/Iva

Cech/Shwazer

We are good to go. and that is what we call DEPTH. Maybe we need one CB, cuz of Kalas' injury. But from that list, I can count 22 players (Including Kalas). exactly what Mou was asking. In other words, Ba and Moses are gone on load and sold respectively.

RVP and Henry were strikers that had capabilities to play up front.

Schurrle is a wide player that has capabilities to play out wide.

It really isn't the same.
