Vesper 30,185 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Willian speaks out on Chelsea future after fresh Barcelona transfer links https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/25/willian-speaks-chelsea-future-fresh-barcelona-transfer-links-10981642/ Willian has ruled out a return to Brazil in the summer, but was cagey over his Chelsea future amid fresh links to Barcelona. The attacker’s current deal expires at the end of the season and several top clubs in Europe, including Juventus and Barcelona, are keeping tabs on his situation, spotting a potential bargain. Brazilian giants Corinthians, where Willian began his career, are thought to be keen on bringing the 31-year-old home but he is intending to stay in Europe for the foreseeable future. Whether or not that will be at Stamford Bridge remains unclear. Willian insists there is a ‘market’ for him to remain in Europe, amid interest from some of the continent’s top clubs, but he stopped short of staying he will stay in west London. He told Esporte Interativo: ‘Of course when you talk about Corinthians, the club that launched me, I have a great affection. But honestly, I don’t think about returning to Brazil.’ snip  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 One goal, one "assist" (his pressing was the one that caused Burnley turnover). Good at retaining the ball, press well. As long as he is healthy, pretty much a guaranteed starter. OneMoSalah and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Then CHO and Pulisic out wide? Pretty much. I am glad that Pulisic had his hattrick but it mean you can't drop him.TammyCHO - Mount - PuliFrom start should be fun too watch though. We will lose even more control but it should be fun.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Willian will retain his place after his solid overall performance and his goal was well-taken. Their goalie dealt poorly with all those low shots tho. this shows just how much quality we have. CHO came in as undisputed starter, then Pulisic starts performing again and he is out of the first XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Tammy has not been good. Hopefully we spend big on a striker. Would love mbappe but that's hard to pull off. NikkiCFC and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,056 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 You can scratch mbappe from your list. 200m is the number for mbappe. They paid almost that for him before he even won the WC. Probably the most expensive player in the world right now.Kante is the only bargaining chip we have, but we need to stop kidding ourselves. Set that bar much lower.

He has a few odd games where he does not perform. It happens. Overall he has been a big plus for us. 1 goal away from double figures already. I agree on buying another striker but to supplement Tammy at this moment of time. If Tammy goes on a barren run for the next 20 games or so then yeah but right now, harsh to say we need a new starting striker. 1905didierblue, Johnnyeye and Strike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicco 927 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Funny how the afro cries in the media he wants to stay but I'm pretty sure he wants a wage dump with many years otherwise it would've been sorted by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon1991 233 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 There is ASBOLUTELY no way Mbappe is coming to Chelsea, get down to earth people...

If he's got his heart set on Madrid/Barca then I agree it would be a waste of time even trying. However if he sees England as a genuine option then we have to put our name in the hat and I think we would stand a better chance then people think.
