Ayioros 76 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 No that's deserved for Willian.  Pulisic and CHO are too young and need to prove, we will see next seasons wich deserved more between us. In the meantime Willian is a loyal soldier, and deserve respect even his performance was not so good.   BXL70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I don't really get all the outrage over shirt numbers. It's the players who make the number noteworthy/memorable, not the other way round. And if Hazard hadn't worn the No.10 shirt previously, would people even be feeling outraged over Willian taking it? Iggy Doonican, Stats and OneMoSalah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the captain of the Dog and Duck demanding the number 10 shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, these are the list of folks who wore that number at the club. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Dont see the outrage in all honesty. Its just a shirt number. Yeah fair enough number 10 is iconic in football history with the likes of Maradonna, Pele, Messi etc but still its just a number and in reality means bugger all as it doesnt make a player any better or any worse. Also as stated by someone else, if Hazard didnt wear it beforehand it really really wouldnt be half the issue I feel. And also, if fucking Yossi Benayoun could wear the number 10 for us why shouldn't Willian 🤣 Hes probably one of the most senior players in the squad in attacking areas, has been here for what 7 seasons, been a regular player throughout that time so I dont see why its really a massive issue or debate as if we have a genuine major contender for who should of taken it instead. Callum was obviously who many wanted to take it being a young English, homegrown academy player but he definitely still has work to do to get such a prestigious shirt number if you will, but again I honestly don't care who wears what number except for that time Cuadrado wanted the number 74 or whatever when we initially signed him.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Our squad is better with him in it that not. I don't agree he's been that bad at all. He's had bad games but who hasnt.The overreaction over the squad numbers is baffling to me to be honest.Who were people expecting to get it? CHO? Who has many years to get it....It's just a number.

God knows why they're still happy over keeping an average player. Could have gotten over 50 million (or whatever it was) for him last summer!
