Chelsea Officially Signed Willian

sad to say but I think Spurs are making some good signings ,, I think they will HAVE to sell Bale to recoup some of the costs ..

only bright spot is Spurs could push the gooners out of 4th place

I'm always objective in my opinions. I saw him play against us, and thats it. Don't tell me you've watched a league game of him.

I'll believe you when I see him play in the Premier League.

I might be wrong, ofc. He actually seems to have pretty good stats.

I just think its a little too early to make such statements.

I did saw league games of him and Shaktar, like I already said. They were a pleasure to watch. People tend to not give the respect for players out of the top league in Europe, automatically, without even see them. I think he's a hugh talent with bad PR work done for him, same as Fernandinho. You already saw some quality from the latter...

Totally agree about their signings, Paulinho and Capoue are both excellent options in the middle of the park to go along with what they already had with Dembele and Sandro, who you could say were the best midfield pairing last season (when both were fit).

Chadli is another interesting player which gives them more options on the wing and Soldado is a proven goalscorer, he will get 15-20 goals minimum for Spurs. Can also see the likes of Sigurdsson improving from last year along with Holtby too so even if they lose Bale they will be stronger than last season. If they replace Bale with Willian as well then Levy, AVB and Baldini have done very very well in the transfer market. They could do with a CB though and if Arsenal don't spend then Spurs will probably push them out of the top 4.

Still Willian isn't needed here no more, we have enough attacking midfield players for the season. Hes a very good player but still I don't think hes better than Mata and Hazard.

The scary thing is if Spurs get Willian and keep Bale they will be big time title contenders if they aren't already! Fuck off Yidos!

They won't, they are signing Lamela and Willian to replace Bale.

Chadli and Willian on the wings. F*** that's actually very good.

I think Willian will play more centralized (a bit like Bale did), with Lennon, Chadli and/or Lamela as AVB's true winger options...

Soldado and Defoe make a very decent striker duo and they have amazing options on the pivot (or whatever you want to call it) with Paulinho and Capoue. Leaving them with some holes on the back, which is something Villas-Boas said will be taken care of if they find any good opportunities.

Nevertheless, they do look quite dangerous

I think Boas will be looking to get Lennon out of his starting XI if possible. Very limited player that has virtually nothing besides his pace.

Personally I also tended to like chadli when playing as an AM.

So weird. When we were linked with him, there were way more posts about how overrated he was and wasn't worth the money. Some people said he's not much better than Kalou lol.

I agree and I think they know that they cannot keep bale that is why they made all these signings

I actually think the deal is already sealed. With Lamela and Willian, they've spend more then 100m, which is a lot for Spurs.

If they sell Bale they won't be much better than last season imo. They will be better because of better depth but the talent in their starting XL won't be much better. Bale is so good and he is almost impossible to replace. Willian, Soldado, Chadli, Paulinho and so on a very good players but they are not worldclass like Bale. Bale is the type that scores a goal out of nothing when Spurs needs a goal. Soldado and Willian don't do that without the team helping them and these new players still have to replace good players like Lennon and Parker, so the question is how big the difference actually will be compared to last season if they sell Bale..

How have I stumbled onto the yids transfer section?...

Willian IMO is in the same level as Mata and Hazard. If they got him for more than Hazard? so what?
