So that's him gone then. Bye bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Can't say I will miss him when he's gone. In the short term (first half of next season) I think the squad would still be better with Willian than without him, but it would be madness to give in to his demands and offer him a 3 year deal on super high wages just because there are some question marks on how fast Ziyech will settle in. No matter the circumstances Willian is not, nor has he ever been, worth the wages he's demanding and a 3 year deal would be ridiculous for a 32yo player.

on his day world class, But otherwise a decent squad member overall.

 

goodluck to him if hes off

[whats happening 1,660]

3 years late on this one

[LAM09 7,085]

No idea why the club is seemingly trying to pull out all the stops to keep him. Constantly been playing hardball, so just let him go.

Shame it's a number of years too late, though.

[Atomiswave 6,120]

He is 32, wants a 3 years deal, we fucking offer him 2 years which is too much in itself and he rejects it? Let him go

[Pulisicismydaddy 91]

Thank fuck, Boga, Benrahma anyone would do better than this guy.

[Nero 1,898]

[Rapkun 668]

I totally understand the decision not to offer him a 3 year deal especially considering his age but the disrespect towards him is unjustified. One of our best players this season and one of our most important players since his arrival.

End of an Era.

Arse fans are absolutely losing their minds over this. 😂

They all act like they're so above Willian even though he'd instantly be amongst their best players. Just like a lot of them were crying when we sold them Luiz and now they all love him.

[OhForAGreavsie 6,125]

Willian is a nice lad who, on his day, is utterly brilliant. There have rarely been enough of those days to keep the fans off his back, but he's given his best and, as well evidenced this year, he's worked hard. It's absolutely obvious why Frank likes him. Now it seems that he's off, he'll go with the thanks and best wishes of Chelsea fans.

Speaking personally, I'm embarrassed by the level of vitriol in some of the comments posted here. People decide for themselves how they want to support the club and its players. I can only say that the people posting the comments I'm referring to are choosing to do it differently to the way I'd prefer. I'd find more quality in one Willian dribble, at pace, through the midfield than in one hundred thousand such posts.

Just in case these comments lead anyone to misjudge my view of Willian. For many seasons I used to say that Willian is an OK footballer but that if we were to become the team we'd like to be, he would not get into the side. Once again therefore I find myself defending a player when I was previously among a minority criticising him. He's a Chelsea player, he's worn the shirt and made the best contribution he could to successful Chelsea sides. That will always earn him respect and affection from me. Just because I don't believe he's the player we need, does not mean I will react to him with an aggressively dismissive attitude. Never going to happen.

I am with you on this

and he may come back to haunt us if he goes to Spuds or Arse or even Manure

he is a prick for not taking the 2 years

[Special Juan 28,730]

The big picture is, the amount of wages it frees up, for a new and fresh signing.

Ideal.

Fickle as fuck them lot...he would start ahead of Pepe.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,186]

I think if he loves chelsea as much as he has claimed then he should settle for 2 years. Chelsea usually offer only 1 year to 30+ year old players and he wants 3 years, so 2 years is middle ground.

But I also don't fault him for looking for his last big pay check as his playing career is coming closer to an end. If so, then we are not that club for him.

Pretty sure the club broke their own policy when they also decided to give a 30-year-old+ Luiz two-year contract. 

The likes of Terry and Lampard must have spitted bloody...

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

very good player to be fair to him, just when hes bad, hes really bad. 

 

Think its the right time to part ways, but if he stays, i wouldnt complain either.  Seems all done to Arsenal, though

[milka 3,407]

234  Appearances  with 37 goals  as attacking player  for  7 seasons .

Pedro have  137 appearances with  30 goals wtf 

Salah have 73 goals from 2017 .

Mane 63 goals .

 

Its time to go  Willy boy .  Good average player but nothing more  with one really  good season .

[King Kante 1,643]

Willian is actually the exact type of player we need in the AM3 role from the bench next season as whilst he doesn't score/assist like he should, he is actually very good at keeping the ball, which would be very handy in a lot of matches where you want to take the sting out of games. However, 3 years on top dollar for a 32 year old AM is not wise. 2 years was a bit of a push, but 3 years is just too much. 

I reckon he will be good for Le Arse but if he picks up a bad injury not long after signing he could be Ozil Mk2.
