Willian

Great little cameo there. Really hope he goes to the WC!

That first time pass to Neymar between two Chile players while running at full speed was amazing. My jaw dropped. If only Neymar didn't fail so hard it would have been a beautiful goal. Willian makes everything look so easy.

I was skeptical about this deal. 30mil on a position that didn't need strengthening. But it's nice to see him doing well.

Effortless play sometimes, makes things look easy.

I want him, mata and hazard to start a game so that we see if the creativity of our team gets a huge boost

I would be very curious of that combo for sure. Still, for all that creativity to unfold I do believe we need something extra in our pivot!

Just got done watching the rest of their game, wow, he's got the lot this fella. Majestic on and off the ball.

The thing that has impressed me the most isn't how well he goes forward, unlike the usual traditional flair players he does all the dirty work and he has a good attitude towards it unlike Hazard at the start of last season casually jogging back against Man United, Norwich and other teams when Cole was basically against 2 players at times. Sure you could say thats down to Jose's philosophy/style but I think its more down to the player if I'm honest, he does it a lot better than Hazard, Mata and Schurrle even though they all try to do it as well.

Like strike said, I was also quite skeptical and also worried about spending 30m on a player who had played so many years in Ukraine and one year in Russia, he seemed overrated when we first linked with him but hes not. If he can start scoring some goals and getting more assists, the money will have been very well spent. Thank fuck he didn't go to Spurs.

Hope he retains his spot come WC!

[Henrique 9,133]

He will be in WC next year, according to good sources.

I hope those aren't the same sources as the ones for our kits this season

My very first post was in this thread!

I remember being called by some stupid names (as I was new in here) for saying Willian was much better than Moses (we were linked with him at the time) but worse than Hazard and Oscar (the two players we had just signed).

Now what?

Not sure if he is worst than Oscar.

I think they are in different stages of their careers!

Willian is the finished product, while Oscar will still develop into the player he will ultimately become...

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Willian is a finished product at 25?

[DDA 9,690]

I read a trash article on how Spurs dodged a bullet not signing Willian.. it then went on to say that he hasn't assisted once sinse his arrival and that was when I realised a Spurs fan had written the article. I won't bother to post that shyte here because it isn't worth your time reading it.

I do expect a lot more from Willian but not this season. Next year he will have to prove he is worth the millions we paid for him. If he can do it this year then great but not really fussed and have seen some glimpses of the Willian from Shaktar.

Of course, 25 is exactly the age players reach their peak!
