Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

[Milan 17,878]

don't assume that the deal is done yet. think Chelsea will wait for 3rd Rooney bid before pulling the trigger on Willian

Well if this is the case, then we act pretty arrogantly. We simply made Willian reject Spurs (so far) and if we land Rooney, he is off then? So he would turn to Spurs again? Wow, who knows if they still wanted him. Just one of the scenarios.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

If we manage to get Rooney too, we will have no excuse if we struggle to score goals. This is becoming the most attacking/creative Chelsea squad for a long time

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.

Sandro just un followed Willian.

EVER.

Yeah but there will come a time after awhile where we'll see who is regarded as the 1st choice players in the starting XI and who is the 2nd. The 2nd ones won't be happy after some time.

Anyway, that isn't the main point here. Like I said to Sheva, purchasing Willian won't solve our immediate problem in the squad. Just merely reinforcing arguably our strongest area in the squad. And it's incredibly frustrating to see us yet again not buying the players that will first and foremost fix those ongoing problem within the squad - a ST & DM - before getting anyone else. It just seems like we're over indulging ourselves with yet more attacking midfielders behind the ST.

We saw Willian was available so we bought him, I don't think we planned this from the very beginning. He was one of those out of no where signing because of other club issues. ST is a must but who? All the top class have moved on or will cost a lot or are not for sale. Martinez, Rooney and Suarez are the 3 but we are unlikely to sign them so might as well go for a winger first.

why not bid the same amount for witsel or getting de rossi for 1/3 of it. just delusional what we are doing. or save the money and pay 20 m more for cavani or a proper striker. Hoped that Mou woud be intelligent enough to fix our main problems but instead we are signing players we dont need. great.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I'm not underestimating at all, I'm not calling Willian a bad player whatsoever, it's just that this signing is not needed whatsoever and that spending £30m on a player we don't need just doesn't make sense at all.

I haven't discussed the player's ability.

Yes and I agree, but when you say a 15mi would be more suited you are basically downgrading him...

No, he is not a 30mi player and no, we shouldnt be buying him. However, he is definitely a 20mi+ player (especially when we bought Schurrle for 18mi).

[Mouri_Matic 560]

EVER.

In history, yes I said it. Never have there been a time where we had this much attacking gifted players. Even at Mou's first spell we had a few great like Robben, Duff but NEVER EVER this much attacking force.

Oh god this is entertaining

"I think this would be the ideal situation to re-welcome Mourinho to the EPL with a public 35Mil bid for Mata if they get Willian. AVB knows Mourinho's games and he certainly can play that same game."

Lol, some of the guys are genuinely desperated there.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Does Manchester City want to swap Willian for Fernandinho?

[Pacquiao 1,834]

People who say Willian is not needed, its about Quality not Quantity it doesn't matter how many number 10's or wingers we have as long as the new signing/s add more quality to the squad that is a big positive. Willian is a massive upgrade on Moses so i am very happy with this potential deal!

[Goemaere 131]

Might be mourinho want's hazard as a 10? like at lille.

[bushman 2,043]

One thing I don´t get here. Chelsea sings a promising player & some of you are complaining ?

All the top class have moved on or will cost a lot or are not for sale. Martinez, Rooney and Suarez are the 3 but we are unlikely to sign them so might as well go for a winger first.

Why go for a winger or wide player when we don't really even need him at all?! That's the point! We already have 6 players for those 3 positions as it is. Rather than spending 30m+ on Willian, would rather see the club focus on their main effort and resources to get that top ST we need and also probably a DM first, not on some signing that we don't need at all or before improving other areas!

[dumps 284]

the thing I like about this is that we will rip the balls of spurs with this.

jose said he'd have to loan somebody out and assuming willian would be a striker I see either lukaku or ba being loaned. I personally hope ba would be loaned.

I dont think we need anotherstriker but as it looks like jose really wants one id be happy with willian. ..

[Pizy 18,537]

I imagine Hulk will be crying himself to sleep.

Wanted badly to come here from Porto but the price was outrageous so he settles for a move to Russia. Gets strongly linked again during the Confeds and publicly states that he's interested in coming here. Now we're gonna buy his compatriot who plays in a similar position.

Suicide watch for Hulk!

I really doubt that they are completely different players. Willian's acquisition is independent of Rooney... I'm having a feeling it will be Willian AND is Anzhi teammate Eto'o coming in
