I don't think that's the sense in which Maurizio meant it however, and it's not the way I meant it either. I, and Maurizio I think, meant it in terms of Willian's peak performance level, you mean it in the sense that his peak level can improve, that he can become better than he's ever been. I say again that I 100% agree with your position on that. In terms of his existing peak however Willian is below, way below, what we've seen from him at his best. I for one would dance in the streets if we regularly saw from Willian what we saw from him against Barca. Indeed we wouldn't be having this conversation about him. We'd either be unhappy that the club did not resist an even bigger offer from Barca, or we'd be worrying about how long Willian could maintain his level and fretting about how we were going to replace him when the time came. Whether Willian will ever recapture that form can be debated, but I think it's reasonable for the manager to allude to that level of expectation when talking about his potential. I agree with this summation, I just hope (for all our sakes) he can crank it up for the next 6 months, if not longer. Most evidence seems to point to this not happening. Let us hope I am wrong.

If it isn't then I'd be keen to know why. I am however always open to the reality that the club have more information than I do, and to the possibility that if I knew what they did, I might just agree with them.

OhForAGreavsie 6,127 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 ^^ Don't know who Graeme Baily is but, if that's the club's position, then it makes perfect sense to me. Vesper and xPetrCechx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'd personally love Chelsea to take the lead in any potential negotiations and make an offer for Coutinho that included Willian in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Sell him! RLC can act as the 4th winger for the rest of the season. If we buy Paredes/Barella then that will add extra depth to midfield in case RLC is playing out wide. More importantly, this would give CHO a proper opportunity to establish himself as a starting XI player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont expect much more out of our board TBH. I remember when Mou came back and there was the reports of the details in his contract stating he would have no powers what so ever in players coming or going.. We might as well castrate all managers, tie their hands behind them and change their title o coach. I would dearly love if we had a system where the scouts,DOF,manager had regular ,meetings and they all got on the same page to choose who,where,why we want new lads. I dont see it happening any time soon tho Most if not all clubs have the final say on transfers above the managers these days, the romance of managers having total control left with Fergie. As-long as players that are compatible to the manager's style of play and of the required quality are signed, i don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem comes when the board and manager disagree on the quality of said player and he spends his time on his arse warming the bench. There needs to be a neeting of minds!

Vesper 31,105 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 You all know I detest Willian BUT I HATE Barca and if they try to fob off a £35m deal (Malcom is worth £30m or so max atm, plus £5m cash) for a winger (Willian) they offered 65 MILLION QUID for 6 months back FUCK THEM  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
