From The Guardian.

I was kinda worried about the work permit. Glad it's all sorted out.

[bushman 2,043]

There is nothing to worry about work permits for footballers. It takes 15 minutes of formality & he is all set to play.

Signed, sealed & delivered. Let´s go Chelsea.

Not to mention we do need someone more threatening on the wings. Hazard atm doesn't want to dribble anyone, and is happy to play at a walking pace. KDB and co also just come back into the middle. So Willian will be a welcome change.

This.

Welcome willie :cfc:

Mourinho on Willian:

‘It is a crucial department for us. It is crucial because of the game we want to play and the intensity we want to have. We need alternatives and rotation and we need players to keep that intensity and that dynamic.'

‘In this moment it looks like we have a lot but when we get to September — and I am not talking October, November, December, January, I am talking about September — we have the Premier League, the Champions League, the Capital One Cup, a double national team fixture. When this time arrives, 22 players is not a big squad and when you can add more quality it is not a problem. It’s a solution. A problem is for the managers without enough quality in their team.’

Welcome willie :cfc:

Willie? Willy? I hope you surely know what that is

No matter what most of you guys here say, Willian is better than De Bruyne, Schurle, Moses..for me he is Hazard level, and has lot of experience in CL too...so I am glad he signed, and we have better squad with him...

[meetdoscar 335]

He has really developed as a footballer and I think we are signing him at the best time. He is definitely as good as hazard if not better in terms of dribbling and passing but certainly less endowed in shooting/scoring and is more experienced. He also has great presence on the pitch him and hazard at chelsea are too good to be true considering there's also mata, oscar...and co. Great addition

Welcome to the club Willian. Looking forward to having 2 great players playing together on each wing

[DanishBlue 426]

Well, I guess I have to wait until we play Everton.

Welcome!

He chose the number 21 shirt as a homage to his footballing idol Salomon Kalou.

[Shakez 755]

Welcome Willian, sucks we have to wait for 3 weeks to see him play.

[Namika 922]

ALL HAIL THE KING KALOU.

His prodigal son arrived.
