Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

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. ..

If Lukaku is loaned out and Torres/Ba being kept then we are gonna be trophy less this season.

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!

Jose didn't say we are done yet, I think we will still go for a ST. Eto'o maybe?

[Goemaere 131]

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

Must be fun for the youth. Already stacked positions being more stacked. lucky we always have some guys from the academy on the bench to keep them, oh wait we don't.

Yes, Jose did say we are still in for a ST but this whole pursuit of Willian just doesn't seem to make any sense at all!

They are not good enough anyway.

Maybe we are signing HIM AND A STRIKER? We are not limited on fund like Arsenal/Spurs you know... but yeah i agree if Willian come in and no striker then Jose might be wrong this time for once.

+ Striker and we Done.

If Willian is going to play out wide then I think we need him. Hazard is the only one who tries to get out wide and go past a defender, Schurrle probably can too.

[Strike 7,298]

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

after all that jose said about spending less, it'd be funny if chelsea go out and spent 50+ mil in the last week of the window.

not that i'm surprised though. Mourinho is a hypocrite sometimes

[Sheva. 5,373]

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.

We will eventually get a DM. Jose probably doesn't know how badly we need one yet, because it's the one position we have hardly been linked with any players. Lampard still being around doesn't help much.

[Goemaere 131]

Yeah who needs to develop his youth to top players. I can't name a single team who ever won a cup with more than 3 youth players in the XI.

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!

Of course he's going to be an upgrade on Moses, lol. Moses cost £7m, Willian will cost us £30m.

You don't spend £30m on a squad player either. So expect KDB and Oscar to be on the bench more often, especially if Mata stays.

Looks like AVB is still Mourinho's chief scout! hahahaha

Hahaha Ya! He changes his stance like the weather.

At any rate I'm excited... I don't think we need Willian but its pretty fun to mug off the Spurs.

If either Rooney or Eto'o come in we're set.

WOW, difference of opinion happens so quick. When it looked like he was signing for Spurs a few days ago some were like he is a good player while a big majority was like he was an overrated player but now he is likely to join us opinion changes quickly. Is going to be really interesting to see how our strongest trio will turn out to be. Rotation looks like the main thing I guess.

Problem is we already have more QUALITY at his position than at any other position. 30M is a significant investment even for us. It could have gone to other areas that actually NEEDED more QUALITY

Remember when we used to have Ryan Bertrand on the left wing? Oh boy, those days are way gone.

Well, at the academy...who is there to play for Chelsea ?

If you noticed for several years now, Chelsea predominantly buy young players & sends them out on loans. A very shrewed way, I might add.

This, it's ridicoules how much our players get overrated here.
