and when he walks on a free, it is £65m down the shitter

add that to the £55m or so we lost on Hazard

and the £40plus million we lost on Cuntois

via non sales when we KNEW they were leaving

plus the almost £70m we shit away on Donkeywater (probably now around £60m due to his loan)

plus the £30m (or more) we lost not selling Alonso and Azpi in a timely fashion

and that's £250m in cash lost

shit adds up fast, a quarter of a billion quid fast

£250m gets you MBAPPE (or damn fucking close)

wouldnt surprise me at all if Roman was tapping that ass

Willian was average today but that's 10x better than Pulisic who has been absolutely tragic so far in the Premier League.

He's much better than Pulisic, and I say this as someone who loves Pulisic.

[Abreu03 292]

To say that the game of Willian was  "fantastic " only shows how mediocre this player is. No one really expects anything too much from him. Hahaha

Pulisic is a LOT better than him, and it's not a bit. Will finish the season with higher numbers even with 11 years less and being his debut in a new team and championship. There are people here who deserve the low current level of our wingers.

We will need him over the course of the season whether we care to admit it or not.

With Tammy looking like he's sown striker up, Mount as attacking midfield and Pulisic/Odoi on one wing we need an expierenced balance to them which is where Willian and Pedro will come in, hopefully the latter more than the former but both won't be able to play all the games.

He should be let go at the end of the season but for now he's very much needed in the squad.

[Vesper 28,820]

SELL THIS FRAUD IN JANUARY BEFORE HE WALKS ON A FREE IN THE SUMMER

I would rather see Barkley lumber around at winger (or the better options of Mount or CHO or RLC or the obvious one of Pedro) that this wuthless waste of roster space.

Marina should be in a jail cell if he walks on a free and we end up losing £65m in toto from her turning down that Barca offer last summer.

Alonso was quite good yesterday in HIS NATURAL (and only effective) position (wingback). Willian has no such excuse as he always is catered to position-wise.

What is wrong with fans on here ?

Well clearly most don't rate him anymore - me included. Still support him though since he's loyal to the club.

However, he should have been sold for 65 million or whatever the bid was. Losing him on a free considering how inflated the market is now is terrible business.

It's not like we had a back up lined up. Even if we got the 65mil bid (apparently), we would have had to put most of it on some winger. We will still get 2 good years out of him. 

He was really good yesterday. Did not one of his runs end up with Tammy scoring? Yes, his goal scoring leaves much to be desired, but to call him a fraud and keep on bringing up "how we lost 65mil" again is weird. I am using "again" but it's actually again and again and again and again.

He might not be ideal, but he is still our best winger currently.

Willian is a bad player and is awful more often than not. We all know this however his performance yesterday still tops anything Pulisic has done in the Premier League this season.

Pulisic is 20 years and will only get better

there is no comparison in terms of who any rational person would take

Pulisic by 10,000 miles

Pulisic is also a stand-up person

Willian is a fucking pronger who is pure poison

You know the bar has been set really low for Willian when people are comparing him with a 20-year-old who's new to English football and needs time to adjust to the demands here.

Willian's weaknesses are so easy to peg

he just doesn't get in dangerous positions enough and he is a game-slowing ball hog

[Vesper 28,820]

Arse were insane to buy William Saliba for £27m and then instantly loan him right back

I would have just let him learn on the job

there is almost no way he could possible, even at 18yo, that he would be as bad as Sokratis, Luiz and Mustafi

he is already a BIG lad too, it isn't like he has to bulk up and get that much stronger (which he will anyway)

1.93m and built already like a brick wall

Regarding selling Willian to Barcelona, until this transfer ban is over, we're in no position to trim our squad further, especially of experienced players. Forget the money, just for this season. Keeping hold of personnel has to be the priority for now.

[Nicco 927]

They paid 3 mil upfront for Saliba and rest after he comes in.
