Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

[GoldChelsea 7]

You think he will play ?

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Perhaps he does bring different quality to the team BUT like you said, it's crazy to have 6 quality players for 3 different positions. Gonna create a problem to manage and rotate them, even probably for Jose himself. You always likely need 1-2 players below that 'quality' level a bit to even things up and make it easier to keep everyone happy and manage them. And besides, purchasing Willian won't solve our immediate problem in the squad. Just merely reinforcing arguably our strongest area in the squad.

I already said, he doesn't have to keep everyone happy. Everyone will be given a fair chance, who ever good enough will start more often. If they don't like it they can always go.

Where not gonna splash 30 million for a bench warmer :s

[Toli 977]

so its official. mou has completely lost his mind. instead of signing a proper DM for 32 mil pounds we sign another winger. wtf is going on in his mind. we need someone who can add goals, Wililan is everything but a goalscorer and we need someone who can implement proper build-up play or atleast technique to our DM.

I know we'll play a lot of games this season but you speak it as though we'll just rotate them every game like it's easy to do that and keep them happy. They're all top quality players, young and want to be playing every game. They won't be happy if they end up finding themselves sitting on the bench more often than not.

I agree, we're really doing a Bayern/Madrid right now and stockpiling very good players - it's disgusting, but you can't argue the immense quality in those 2 squads

Welcome to Chelsea

A lot of you are underestimating Willian and by appealing to your emotions fail to see the bigger picture here. Hes an amazing player and im sure Jose can make it work,else why would he bother signing hip up in the first place? + Mata aint going nowhere, so stop worrying about that!

Judging by the last 2 games Mou has put chelsea to play style based on keeping the ball and slowly building up attacks from the middle. Having players like hazard and willian on the sides who are pacey, good dribblers,can take on opponents 1on1 and distribute some nice clever one-two passes is essential to this sort of tactic.

Hazard and Willian will absolutely tear up the league this year, I promise u that!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Mata is not leaving, he's only going to start at CAM now with a more capable "winger" on the wings.

Who knows - I just have a very bad feeling that he's off now for Rooney. Hopefully that's wrong but I really do not see the point in spending £30m on a player we really do not need. If Willian was going for around £15m then fair enough but such an excessive amount is ridiculous.

He got less than 20 goals but I understand what you are saying. I am not hating any Chelsea player. I can see beyond sentimental ideas that most of the fans on here share all the time. Sometime the best choice isn't the obvious or easy choice.

Let's say Oscar, Hazard and Willian all gonna have an amazing season, do we really gonna need Mata anymore? Don't forget when he was the star man in 11/12, NO BODY WAS AS CREATIVE AS HIM. Fuck me we had Malouda instead of Hazard and Yossi instead of Oscar. In 2012/13 there were those 2 but now we got Kevin and Schurrle, who are both great players so we don't need Mata as much anymore, we need Rooney or a top class striker leading the line because that is what we have been missing for quite some time now. And if it mean getting rid of Mata? So be it.

It's not sentiment at all, it's the fact that you're basically okay with us selling one of the best players in the world for no reason that's ridiculous.

Mata is still the most creative player in the squad whatever you may say. It's ridiculous to get rid of one of our top players and give him to our title rivals just to get Wayne, thus strengthening them because Mata is a better number 10 than Rooney.

I really hope this is not the case.

This is not FIFA.

Then they need to fight for it, no body should be guaranteed starter. This isn't Weder Bremen or Bayer Leverkusen, where they are the best player in their position in the team. If they don't want to sit on the bench then START performing on the pitch. I doubt Jose will bench anyone out of hate(unless that player really piss him off like Casillas) and if they don't like that? I repeat again the door is always open to go.

Speaking in his pre-match media conference on Friday afternoon, Jose Mourinho confirmed that Anzhi Makhachkala attacker Willian is a transfer target.

The Chelsea manager said the Brazilian is an additional target to Wayne Rooney and he also indicated he believes Willian's preference is to move to Stamford Bridge.

Looking ahead to Monday's visit to Manchester United, Mourinho gave the latest news on David Luiz's recovery from a hamstring problem.

'David Luiz is improving. He is training not yet with the group but training hard. If he is not available on Monday then we think he can be for the Bayern Munich game.'

Wow how is this going to work....Can't believe we've got him. That £30m could have been spent on Witsel, let that sink in for moment.

[Clevemayer 764]

Whom ever plays I still know it doesn't MATA, Mata will screw them all he is the maestro, sorry guys he destroyed the league and he was a force last season there've been calls for him to be the future captain and now when whom willian comes he will go? Fuck me...

anyway wilian will be a better squadplayer then moses but is he worth it? Moses cost us about 7 Million Pounds and Willian?

[Barbara 15,149]

Maybe, just maybe, we're going to take the Pep-Barcelona route and play without a proper striker...

we could have the false 9 with André for now, but I think Mourinho wants Eden to play there in the future - which seems a risky bet because he's very far from what I think requires to the position, but André can easily play as a false 9.

Let's wait and see. In Mou I trust - of course. And as any other human being he can make mistakes...

I share most of your feelings, but you are underestimating Willian.
