[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

YESSSS!!!!!! willian! so we already agreed to complete it in the summer sooooo we'll finally sign him august 12th after unnecessary delay. next is jovetic and i think we would have the best dribbling team in epl and pace too which we have lacked since robben and duff.

i dont know about Europe but in the epl our attackers being.........................

WOULD BE MOSTEROUS! i dont know about kdb, i honestly hope but doubt he's gona stay. Torres good riddance and drogba can go to asia or mls.

Pretty sure he'll become a Chelsea player by next season.

[Thor 2,392]

With our success rate of buying proven players, it is probably better we've gone for something a bit unexplored and based on talent of what could be. In the EPL particularly, it's the smaller clubs that find most of the talents which are later scooped up by the bigger clubs. Might as well try and get a one up on the competition and get these young guys while they are still cheap.

I'm not overly thrilled about the signing as I don't think he has the potential of other similarly priced talents, but then again I'm not watching the league he plays in every day like I am the EPL. He could do a lot of things that aren't shown in his highlights that help his team win. So as long as he can come here and do that, I'll be happy.

Very strong links with him... I'd say 80% chance it's happening

hypothetical question; could we still lure willian without championsleague next season?

[Severinb 309]

Any news regarding his transfer to chelsea?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I hope we go for other players. We need top profile left wing, he is not.

Take Hazard or Lavezzi, but not this one. As backup, we take Hoilett and KDB. Problem solved. No need to get him.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Fuuuucckkk! I hope this isn't true. He is yet another overrated Brazillian. I bet he'll just be another Kalou. If we payed more than 20 million for him it is a massive fail on our Behalf! We need to go for World Class players.

Chelsea and hundreds of other clubs while not being in a Euopean competion have signed great players. Not having Champions League makes it harder to sign players, but it isn't the main attraction, if it was Aston Villa would have nabbed some great players when ther qualified for Europe a few years back.

[Severinb 309]

Wow what a game from him today played as a winger!

0:53 absolute class! Wonderful. His other assist vas very good also. I do wonder why he doesn't celebrate though.

Beautiful pass for goal, but Ukrainian league is not that difficult. Lukaku shined at anderlecht, now he struggles here. This guy isnt bad, but he is quite expensive. In better leagues you can find 20mio wingers. Andre Ayew for example. He scored 16 goals so far, more than Hazard.

Lukaku played in belgium for one and willian and shaktar did very well last season and this season in champions league if he can play at the highest level club football and do very well i say its a no brainer

I think Willian was just a January 'take it or leave it' offer. I don't imagine us going back for him, particularly because André isn't here now.

just watched few vids, turn of pace and ability to beat a player seems very good, we do need this! but other aspects of his position cant be seen in youtube vids! anyone who watches him or watched know if he is any good?????!!!?

hes a good player; but we should still pursue hazard and lavezzi before turning to willian. Thata being said willain at leftwing with hulk at would be amazing. I can see the two brazilians playing off each other very well(massive plus that they speak the same language).
