Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Well, that's even better then. Hopefully he'll stop playing Oscar and (If he keeps) Mata out wide and we'll be a lot more dangerous instead of being rather predictable at times. If he is a genuine winger, i am 100% for this to happen. Still be gutted if Mata left though.

Willian is the type of player that can easily take on 2-3 defenders create something out of nothing like hazard. We need more of that, example from top teams in europe.

Bayern - robben, ribbery, gotze

Barca - messi, sanchez, neymar

Madrid - ronaldo, isco, dimaria

Chelsea - hazard........

I was and still am a big fan of Mata, but the more I think about it.. the more it's based on sentiment for the previous seasons, in which he was all we had. Literally, the only player who could dictate play and the guy we'd all look to..

Now we have options, Mata isn't a big fish in a small pond anymore.

Same situation with Essien after 2009, Drogba after 2010, Malouda after 2010...etc obviously no fan would want the best player previous season to leave but also forgot we have to think about long term and greater goods as well. Look at Spurs, obviously none of them want to sell Bale but if they sell him now, they could get Lamela, Wilian(before we jumped in) and the left over enough to buy Soldado+Capoune.

So that is 4 quality players for one.

And they already have paulinho.

Remember when mourinho was first in chelsea, we had 3 dribblers - robben, duff, joe cole(in his prime)

He always likes fast paced dribblers for his system to work.

We need to be the best. The best would be for us to have everyone.

Mata - Willian - Hazard

Rooney

Job done.

Would rather Oscar or de Bruyne play there, even if Willian was free (which he is far from). Think of the CM we could buy for close to 40 million.

Is it just me or has it been a really crazy transfer window in general with all the rooney/bale/mata/suarez/fabregas/ronaldo/benteke/willian/luiz transfer soaps? And apart from bale apparently very lttle has come from all these rumours (so far).

[francozola 2,040]

Don't see why this has to mean Mata is off to Utd.

Im just waiting for Jose's press conference now. Hopefully he will once again strongly reiterate that Juan isn't going to be sold.

Yep apart from Mata and Willian, none of them actually look likely to happen atm but it is not fabricated because we all know that they are true.

Rooney- wants to leave MU, we bid but MU doesn't sell-block

Bale- wants to join Madrid, Spurs want more than 100m, Madrid try to lower it but I think an agreement was reach-soon will be happebing

Mata- allegedly is disliked by Jose because he doesn't fit his style, being on the bench a lot for ''fitness issues'' and talk involves a swap with Rooney- on standby atm

Suarez- came out and made it clear wants to leave, Pool doesn't sell and now looks like staying-probably resolved until next summer

Fabregas-MU publicly made a bid, Barca said he wants to stay and he confirmed he did-put to bed

Ronaldo- having problem with new contract, rumor surfaces-not gonna happen at least in this summer

Benteke-handed in transfer request before changing his mind- sorted

Willian-we know what is happening...

Luiz- Barca bid, we doesn't want to sell-end for now

So apart from Ronaldo and Mata rumors, all of them were actually serious concrete interests

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

I think either Oscar or De Bruyne will play deeper if we sign Willian.not necessarily in the double pivot but not on the wing or #10. Mata can go back there.there's a chance Mata could leave I admit but Don't think it's the most likely outcome.

The fact we have shown interest in Willian, in no way means we will sign the kid. I personally dont think we need him and it will just cause a selection dilemma. There is no way he is any better than Juan. If Willian does make it to the Bridge he should be prepared to sit bench.

The hype in this thread is hilarious

Why would Willian come to Chelsea just to sit on the bench?

He could be a first team regular at Liverpool, Spurs or even United...

Its probably because of the Massive YELLOW BREAKING NEWS ticker haha!

Exactly, hence the confusion.

Exactly thats why he shouldn't come to the bridge.

If we are going to sign one more AM or winger, my first and only option would be Marco Reus.
