Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

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.

Did Jose want Witsel? Nope!

[bababoom 4,478]

Cech (Schwarzer)

(Ivanovic) Azpilicueta - Luiz (Cahill) - Terry - Cole (Betrand)

Ramires (Van Ginkel) (Essien) (Mikel)

Oscar (Lampard)

(De Bruyne) Willian - (Oscar) Mata - Hazard (Schurrle)

Lukaku (Torres) (?)

Out - Moses, Ba.

In - Striker?

I'm still not sure about Oscar playing in midfield, it'll be pretty lightweight with him and Ramires, but they both have a lot of energy and this will help when we press the opposition (and judging from the last couple of games, Jose will want our players to do that).

[Tricky 301]

It would be one of the worst signings in recent history simply because of the fact that it makes no sense in terms of squad make up and because £32m for Willian is overpriced. He's a good player but we're absolutely stacked in the position he plays in so there's no point whatsoever, hence why it'd be a very bad signing.

I really can't believe people are happy this could be happening.

Can't say I'm happy with it, I'd rather spend half that and bring in DDR.

Sandro just un followed Willian.

LOL

Mou said he wanted a 22 man squad, that 23 players mate

[LegenTerry 272]

I will never understand policy of this club.This is so unnecessarily.In time where in two matches we scored 4 goals and none of them are from our strikers,we singing another midfielder?I think I don't need to list all our players who plays or can play on Willian position.

And I saw Roman on our last two matches does he really think we don't need striker or what ?

[bluesman2610 1,362]

I for one still think this is a poor move for us great for spurs.. I waited a whole season with marin and yossi .. waiting for KDB to come back moses did well last year and we now have andre.. on top of having mata oscar and hazard.. this is poor business by the board I feel

[Amblève. 4,995]

Gosh, can this idiot finally make up his mind?! He was about to sign with Liverpool, then the Spurs come knocking on his door and he rejects Liverpool, and when he's about to sign with them, we make a bid and he's not sure about where to go to again. Comedy at its best.

Hopefully he fucks off to Tottenham and these rumor finally shut up.

[BOSS 372]

Let's all laugh at spurs. Hahahahahahahaha

[Melanicus 5,208]

Went from Malouda, Kalou, Anelka, Marin, Moses to Schurrle, Hazard, Mata, Oscar, De Bruyne & Willian.

This is what I call improvement.

Ladies and gentlemen, say thank you to this man.

[IkE 267]

Our president is Russian dealing with another Caucasian team, will be an easy deal.

Very true, maybe Mikel is on his where also?

[Sheva. 5,373]

I really am not worried about anything lol. Mourinho is a new manager, he will want to make his signings. He will not see some players as sure starters, like previous managers did. He will see need much different than all of us, so while we were all happy with "Mazacar" last season, Mourinho might want a more direct player on the right. And while we want an out-and-out striker, Mourinho wants someone who can work beween the lines.

It's all very interesting, and you can bet everything will be sorted out. You don't turn into a great team with 1 transfer window, whoever we can't or don't get now, we will probably find a better option in January, or next summer.

Mou said he wanted a 22 man squad, that 23 players mate

Think he meant 22 outfield players.

[Rmpr 8,977]

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!

It seems totally unnecessary, but it does make a little bit of sense if Jose is thinking long term and has realized we dont have the width and work-rate he desires on the attacking end of the field...

We would have 5 top qualities creative AMs to rotate, we would piss the hell out of a rival and Mourinho/Roman would get their beloved media attention.

Now, that we should be spending those 30mil in a DM and ST, I have absolutely no doubt about it!

[Pacquiao 1,834]

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

how do you we wont? I think its almost certain that we will sign another Striker and who knows we may add either a CB or CDM before the end of the window.

Hopefully he fucks off to Tottenham and these rumor finally shut up.

Can you blame him though? I'd rather join Spurs than Liverpool, and Chelsea than Spurs. If Barcelona said they want him today, he will join them - he has no connections to any team, i bet he just wants to join a good team, get good money and win trophies.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'm confused. Didn't Jose say he wants a 22-man squad?

Keepers

Cech, Schwarzer

Defenders

Cole, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Bertrand, Kalas, Terry, Cahill, Luiz

Midfielders

Van Ginkel, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Mikel

Attackers

Mata, Hazard, Willian, DeBruyne, Oscar, Schurrle, Moses, Lukaku, Torres, Ba.

I count 25 players and still no striker, if I was guessing I'd say Moses and Kalas on loan and Ba and Mikel sold.
