Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You don't play 30M for a squad player, if he arrives he plays. And after watching him for Shaktar we have a tremendous player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Maybe, just maybe, we're going to take the Pep-Barcelona route and play without a proper striker...we could have the false 9 with André for now, but I think Mourinho wants Eden to play there in the future - which seems a risky bet because he's very far from what I think requires to the position, but André can easily play as a false 9.Let's wait and see. In Mou I trust - of course. And as any other human being he can make mistakes...in Mou you trust ? Well, count me in. Much better picture, I might add.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Really don't need him.That money could have been spent on acentral midfielder whowe so desperatly need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I share most of your feelings, but you are underestimating Willian.I'm not underestimating at all, I'm not calling Willian a bad player whatsoever, it's just that this signing is not needed whatsoever and that spending £30m on a player we don't need just doesn't make sense at all. I haven't discussed the player's ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOS 580 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He got less than 20 goals but I understand what you are saying. I am not hating any Chelsea player. I can see beyond sentimental ideas that most of the fans on here share all the time. Sometime the best choice isn't the obvious or easy choice.Let's say Oscar, Hazard and Willian all gonna have an amazing season, do we really gonna need Mata anymore? Don't forget when he was the star man in 11/12, NO BODY WAS AS CREATIVE AS HIM. Fuck me we had Malouda instead of Hazard and Yossi instead of Oscar. In 2012/13 there were those 2 but now we got Kevin and Schurrle, who are both great players so we don't need Mata as much anymore, we need Rooney or a top class striker leading the line because that is what we have been missing for quite some time now. And if it mean getting rid of Mata? So be it.what the heck man, you aint being funny anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Then they need to fight for it, no body should be guaranteed starter. This isn't Weder Bremen or Bayer Leverkusen, where they are the best player in their position in the team. If they don't want to sit on the bench then START performing on the pitch. I doubt Jose will bench anyone out of hate(unless that player really piss him off like Casillas) and if they don't like that? I repeat again the door is always open to go.Yeah but there will come a time after awhile where we'll see who is regarded as the 1st choice players in the starting XI and who is the 2nd. The 2nd ones won't be happy after some time. Moreover, most of these attacking players we have are still young. They need to play lots of games, but not all, to continue their growth and development as a player. Invariably, there will be some players being preferred more than others and some getting more game time than others, like it or not. OR even if they are to be rotated around like you're saying, it then won't bode well for everyone concern either because they won't get enough game time to make themselves better. It will only hinder their development.Anyway, that isn't the main point here. Like I said to Sheva, purchasing Willian won't solve our immediate problem in the squad. Just merely reinforcing arguably our strongest area in the squad. And it's incredibly frustrating to see us yet again not buying the players that will first and foremost fix those ongoing problem within the squad - a ST & DM - before getting anyone else. It just seems like we're over indulging ourselves with yet more attacking midfielders behind the ST.

Shakez 755 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 don't assume that the deal is done yet. think Chelsea will wait for 3rd Rooney bid before pulling the trigger on WillianDon't think so. Mourinho said he was an additional target to Wayne Rooney. Guess this means we'll hold out on reinforcing our DM position till the january transfer window. That's ok for me imo.

Milan 17,957 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 don't assume that the deal is done yet. think Chelsea will wait for 3rd Rooney bid before pulling the trigger on WillianWell if this is the case, then we act pretty arrogantly. We simply made Willian reject Spurs (so far) and if we land Rooney, he is off then? So he would turn to Spurs again? Wow, who knows if they still wanted him. Just one of the scenarios.

Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If we manage to get Rooney too, we will have no excuse if we struggle to score goals.

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The Chelsea manager said the Brazilian is an additional target to Wayne Rooney and he also indicated he believes Willian's preference is to move to Stamford Bridge.http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3434609/title/newsflash-mourinho-on-willian-and-david-luiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like we're over indulging ourselves with yet more attacking midfielders behind the ST.We saw Willian was available so we bought him, I don't think we planned this from the very beginning. He was one of those out of no where signing because of other club issues. ST is a must but who? All the top class have moved on or will cost a lot or are not for sale. Martinez, Rooney and Suarez are the 3 but we are unlikely to sign them so might as well go for a winger first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 why not bid the same amount for witsel or getting de rossi for 1/3 of it. just delusional what we are doing. or save the money and pay 20 m more for cavani or a proper striker. Hoped that Mou woud be intelligent enough to fix our main problems but instead we are signing players we dont need. great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he is definitely a 20mi+ player (especially when we bought Schurrle for 18mi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
