Selling Willian for however much, signing no replacement and depening on an 18 year old who probably wont be here come the summer or even the end of the month and Pedro is stupid though. Surely I am not the only one who sees that? I know people dislike Willian but in terms of our squad depth it would be so stupid to just sell Willian. If Malcom comes in and hits the ground running okay fine but if he doesnt at first, which theres a big chance due to the lack of regular minutes hes had this season, are people going to turn on him like Sarri and Jorginho? 

what I posted of course relies on CHO staying on at least til summer... If that is in fact the case, CHO getting willian's minutes could make him reconsider leaving even!

I'm not against buying a replacement, but I'd love to see Willian go regardless (unless CHO leaves this january, then we need at least one)

They won't reject 50m and a player if true, no way.

It is not £50m plus Malcom

It is Malcom plus enough cash to equal a £50m valuation

lets say they rate Malcom at £30m, they would toss in £20m

I would take that in flash

they paid £37m for him, so that is £57m in summer 2018 market value

we all (well most) are freaking out over the board not taking £65m for William last summer from them

well, he is older now (hit the big 3-0) so IF we did this, I will NOT lose my mind over an £8m difference

and TBH, I can almost guarantee we would have paid EPL tax on that buy (plus our board is shit at lowering prices on buys), and paid £45m for Malcom if we bought him after we sold Willian to Barca last summer and then swooped for him

so its about equal all in all

Malcom and Pedro will be fine, plus CHO if he stays.

Like Morata for Higuain and Malcom for Willian, they cannot be any worse, i'm telling you.

True but my point is we need depth. Hazard, CHO, Pedro and Malcom is good for wings but people just want Willian out and no replacement in,  which considering Hazard and CHO will 75% likely be gone next season... and id we continue with Eden as a 9 still leaves us short.

Also we might have to be patient with Malcom. Look at the idiots turning on Jorginho already... 6 months in...

If we keep hazard and CHO and sign Malcolm and we already have Pulisic are attacking options are looking good for next season 😃😃 all we would need is a striker who can score

Forget the idiots, they don't represent anyone in the grand scheme of things.

We have no idea what will happen with anyone, football is far too unpredictable.

They won't reject 50m and a player if true, no way.

The way I'm understanding it is a deal worth 50 mil total. So maybe they value Malcom at 40 mil, and they are adding in another 10.

Bottle of vodka here.

Just glad to see links Willian away from us, even if not true, it still brings a smile to my face.

Can't understand why people are turning on Jorginho, those are just idiots. He is a complete midfielder; solid defensively, tremendous in build up, key to our ability to control possession. That is basically all you could ask for from the deepest player in your midfield. Our issue in midfield is creativity in the final third and goals. Those are much more the responsibility of the midfielders who are in much better position to create and score goals. 

[Special Juan 28,091]

When we get a forward who decides to move and work you will see the difference with Jorginho, the same with a RW in place of Willian.

Runs in behind are the key to breaking down these teams who sit deep. We don't have full backs or wingers doing it, with that example it's easy to read what we do.
