Willian

Sell him for 60m but not to Man Utd.

No one is matching that if that rumour has the slightest bit of truth in it. Doubling our money is a no brainer

Things I've learned over the last few days: there are a lot of Chelsea fans who would be happy to get rid of Willian. Couldn't believe the replies earlier today when the official Chelsea Twitter account tweeted something about him. Even some here want to cash in without thinking about it.

Incredible. One of our most important players and will be next season as well.

I've never been one of Willian's biggest  fans, and for the right price I think he should be sold.

He simply doesn't offer enough going forward. No bite at all, and this season besides that 4 months spell when he was hitting FKs at will, the goals went missing, and Willian returned to his normal self. 

If reports are to be believed, Willian was already pretty upset (pre JM at ManU) Chelsea for not offering a contract extension already given how he performed this season. In an ideal World, we would keep Willian and he'd be a proper bench option, but I think it's clear he would never accept that role. 

The way I see it, we need to surround Hazard with other Top Top attacking talents, and that means serious upgrades on Oscar, Costa and Willian. In that order too, may I add.

If you look back on this thread, you would see I'm one of Willian's biggest supporters, even in his early days when people were on his back. However if he wants to go to ManU, it probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world as it would leave us with a ton of options for that right wing, either in the market or what we've already got youthwise (Musonda, etc.)

When is the best time to sell before they decline like Ivanovic? 

 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

We can't sign Koulibaly from Napoli and we are probably going to fall back on Rudiger.
Nevermind selling Willian of all people and think about replacing him with a player of higher quality. Not going to happen.
Which are these players of higher quality who would come?
And why would we make our already full hands, fuller with yet another position to fill in?
There's a black hole binary system orbiting around our defence and midfield before we can even think about other areas of the pitch.

Oscar would be easily replaced but who are we getting that's an upgrade on Willian without CL football?

United got Di Maria without CL football....

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Definitely that type of player that gives you mixed feelings whether he stays or goes. For £60m (even £50m) I'd say take the money and run. But if Conte decides to keep him then I'm fine with it. I do not agree with those who say that he's been in some terrific form this season. Did the donkey work as he usualy does between August and December, coupled with some free kicks, but other than that he's been pretty much rubbish for the past 5 months. Nowhere near a £60m player, but if anyone offers that sum, even if it's United, the club would be stupid not to jump on it.

I'm surprise the board haven't offer willian a new contract outta of all the players last season willian deserve a new deal

Dropping then eventually selling Juan was 100% the right decision by Jose, were he went wrong was that he picked the wrong replacement, it should have been De Bruyne.

Point taken and agreed with. Juan was never going to be the long-term n10 for this club, his limitations were inherently obvious.

True, but can you really see our now penny pinching board paying £60m or more on a single player like they did with Di Maria? Not sure I can.

We shall see. 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

This Di Maria to United is so overused and misleading.
-We're not United.
-I don't believe United was Di Maria's first choice.
-Real really wanted to get rid of Di Maria (as far as I remember)
-United happened to be the only ones willing to pay that sum at the time.
Selling Willian, or any player not named Mikel-Ivanovic is suicide. The squad is already thin with depth and quality.
