So very strange that Barca are so enamoured by Willian. He's so clearly not top level anymore. If he was any other nationality than Brazilian I don't think they'd have a second look.

Because Willian scored a goal against them. 

Seems they are like us, buy players who score against us.

I don't care who or what they offer, just get rid of this emoji warrior. Even if they wanted US to pay £50m and give them Willian, why the fuck not. He's useless.

50m cash i'd take all day but Malcom + cash totalling 50m? even if they were to value Malcom around 35m..

Effectively we'd be left with a downgrade + 15m cash, I don't care that he is younger, for the near future, Malcom is not going to upgrade Willian and a move like this would knock us backwards. Janurary signings are too risky and like it or not, Willian is a big player for us.

Too much logic here, but I will put my finger in my ears and say:

Barcelona, Chelsea in most hilarious £50m part-exchange bid for Willian rumor

Performances are literally the only thing relevant in this discussion lol

A player that starts almost every game this season, is an important player in my opinion. Just because he has under performed in terms of goals/assists, does not mean he hasn't played a big role in the first half of the season.

Sure, he hasn't scored 40 goals but he is still a big part of the team every week, replacing him with someone who probably can't even speak English mid January is not something i'm getting excited about to be honest. As I said, if it was 50m cash then it's another story.

after 6 years willian barely speaks a word of English lol, weak argument. Especially considering Costa was a beast for us and couldnt speak a word of English...

Also, using your logic, anyone who plays regularly for a team is automatically important to the team... that's flawed logic imo. If we were to use that logic, we would never sell anyone from starting XI which is a silly notion...

Bottom line is that his performances have been horrible for a while and getting rid of him, in and of itself, would be beneficial to the team. Anyways that's just my opinion

Barcelona is my favorite club at the moment, Bayern definitely the one I hate the most.

I appreciate what Willian has given us over the years but I think it's plainly time to move on from him.  I don't see many more opportunities to sell him on that are going to be available to us.  He hasn't had a great season and he's only getting older.  Honestly I thought we'd missed our last chance last summer to sell him.

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Also, we'd be looking to sell him in the summer anyway.  He has 18 months left on his contract.  Selling him for anything and getting someone younger in (who has potential), is a plus.  There's a good chance that he's going to leave on a free any way.

[Clockwork 1,794]

Easy decision you sell, some of you are really overthinking this. Sell, he is 30, 18 month left on his contract, very little productivity getting out of him.

Off topic but it's nice to see a thread blowing up in a good way rather then yesterday when it was all gloom and doom on CHO.

More than happy to give him away for free TBH.

Just wait for the meltdown when we reject the bid again!

Yes, that's a distinct possibility.
