Willian

[Essien19 1,415]

[Fulham Broadway 16,862]

Currently our most valuable asset. Could walk in as a starter in any team, a favourite at the Bridge and away, yet some on here saying 'he sucks'.

Unbelievable, only on TC

[nono 791]

Things could be worse I guess. Look at Arsenal.

[Persona 29]

If anyone deserves an extension after the dumpster fire that was last season, it's Willian.

[Fulham Broadway 16,862]

Must also be praised for his loyalty  -he chose to stay at a club with no CL football

[Special Juan 27,429]

Love the guy, also want him to kick on and add more to his game, under Conte I think he can.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

It would be incredible if he won't be in China in the next 2 years.

He can be sold for 60m€+ or be solid backup when Musonda/Boga return. Win-win.

His probably last season as a starter unless Conte giaccerinied him.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Instead of wondering how much we can get for him in China lets just be happy that he is a major key player in this team and offers a lot, unlike players like Oscar.

His work ethic and desire last season was immense. Conte wants workers and not shirkers....This lad won't shirk fuck all, he can also be moulded and this 4 year deal speaks volumes on how most fans see him and the club too.

Least of our worries, people like Djiliboji, Rahman, Oscar, Mikel and the 7 million loan players are more worrying.

Seems too long for a Brazilian.

I said that to the wife.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

 One of the few players I really like in this team. Hope he can make some steps further in his development also.

Big Willy Style!!!

 you know you need to give a haircut a few days/weeks before you judge it. It always looks shit at first!

[Unionjack 7,531]

Considering we must have had offers for him from teams in the CL I'm so happy hes still here. At one time I put him level par with Oscar but hes grown to be one of the 1st you would select anytime.

I think him and Bat Sushi will get on good both hating Spuds.

Near and Far - Willian

Quote

In the first of a new feature for the season ahead and to celebrate the four-year contract he signed yesterday, we ask Willian questions about his own country and about elsewhere in the world…

What characteristics define your country? First of all I love Brazil. It is my country and I think Brazil is special for football, for food and for me everything in Brazil is great. When I go to Brazil I always try to do barbeque, and I think when people go to Brazil they don’t want to come back.
Where’s your favourite place in your country? Sao Paulo. I live there as well. It is a big city so of course my house but I will say the whole of Sao Paulo for me.

Is there anywhere you would like to go in your country you’ve never been? One place is Fernando de Noronha. It is some beautiful islands, there is a beach and I hope in the next few years I will go there.

What sports are popular in Brazil, other than football? Of course the people they mostly like football first, but maybe basketball and volleyball as well, and not just beach volleyball, all types of volleyball. I am not so good at volleyball, I prefer basketball. 

Tell us something about football in your country we may not know. In Brazil, when you are young, maybe four or five years old, you start to play football in the street and everywhere, even inside the house. I think that is the difference from other countries, when you are born, people give a ball to you for the kid.

Where in the world would you like to go to where you’ve never been? I have been many places but maybe the Maldives. I think that is a very nice place.
What language would you like to speak?  I want to improve my English. I speak Portuguese and Russian and in English I am doing well but I want to improve.
When was the first time you left your country? When I was 15 I went to the USA to play football with my team Corinthians. It was good. The city was Portland.
Where do you see yourself maybe living when you finish playing football? I don’t know yet, maybe London, maybe Sao Paulo, maybe Miami. I have to choose.

It looks like he's missing something on his head.

I have been discussing lineups with a friend of mine and wanted more opinions on willian. Do we think he can play next to fabregas in a midfield 3 with kante and be able to provide enough cover? (The reason i have mahrez in the lineups is we were discussing his possible fit)

 

willian      fab          kante

Mahrez   Costa       Hazard

(Morata, bats, traore, whoever in mahrez place)

 

I personally hope we can develop to play 3 at the back eventually and look something like this

                  courtois

koulibaly          christensen           zouma

willian      kante       matic             kennedy

mahrez            costa                hazard

(Morata, bats, traore, whoever in mahrez place)
