It looks highly likely that we'll possibly sign Willian Borges da Silva in the summer. I saw the video (link below), and he looks really good, I've heard a few people say his inconsistent, not good enough, etc but however, if anything he'd be a good back up choice and only 23 so therefore, he hasn't hit his peak yet so still has time to develop. He can play on the left wing and is a proper winger who is pacey something we are missing, he runs at defenders so therefore, the defenders will definitely fear playing him and if we have a very good summer where we buy younger players that are hungry for success and creative then I'm sure Willian will flourish for us.

We've got a big match tonight as everyone knows against Benfica, I for one am exciting to watch Guitan as a lot of people said his a class player so therefore, would be good to see how he does tonight against us. If he does play good over the two legs then maybe, we might go after him but however, his preferred position is left wing same as Willian also Guitan prefers to go Manchester United as his spoken about how their a great club openly. Anyways, focusing on the match, I believe the right positive minded Chelsea will turn up simply because the old guard have won everything at Chelsea except the 'holy grail' the Champions League so therefore, they know this is their final opportunity to win the trophy so their will give it they best shot. An away goal is a must today.
My team for tonight:
Cech
Ivanovic
Terry
Luiz
Cole
Mikel
Lampard
Ramires
Mata
Kalou
Drogba.
- What do you lot make of Willian?
-Should we sign him?
-How are you feeling about tonight?
-What would be a good result?
-Will Guitan be a good acquisition?.
Willian Borges da Silva, Big match tonight

The two are on very different levels from what I have seen, and I'd expect Hazard will go for £35m+, which I am not sure he is worth. Willian certainly isn't worth the £20m+ touted, I think Lennon is a better player.
I agree that Willian is not on that level yet but in today's market i think £35m (Hazard's release clause) is a deal.
Who else could you get of that quality for less money?

I would prefer Willian's team mate Douglas Costa far more talented and a better player IMO.

Good point, but the fact is Hazard hasn't proven anything at a level above the French league. His progress wherever he ends up will be interesting.
But I suppose if Henderson and Carroll are going for £20m and £35m respectively, it does sound a steal

Willian isn't a 'proper' winger, his play is more like Anelka when he was good I think.

And Ramires just isn't a winger in my opinion, shouldn't be played there

Brana

Cahill
Luiz
Mikel
Ramires
Lampard
Sturridge
Drogba
Mata
Decent player. Better ecomonical opinion than Hazard. Is abit of a more dynamic Kalou, drifts in and out of games, frustratingly picks wrong passes but isn't afraid to take his marker one or shot at any presentable opportunity. Not exactly slow either.
In January i would of signed him, but having now found his feet i'd give Kakuta priority before signing another free spirited midfielder. Would sign him million times over before approaching Hazard at 35mil, ridiclous price tag.
Very positive
Win or score draw, even defeat by no more than a single goal wouldn't be a disaster
I've said for awhile that at some point Gaitan was gunna appear on our radar. We seem to be looking at Portugal as a good source of recruitment for our next team. He's likely to leave for an inflated price as many of Europe's elite are tracking him, so i wouldn't bother. But he's a good player.

In regards to Willian i think he will be a very good signing but i would prefer us to go for Lucas Moura, yes i understand he supposedly wants to go to Inter Milan but if they do not get into the CL which is looking very likely and we do he might just change his mind. If we can't get Moura then i would definetly like us to go for Willian especially if we can get him for about £20 million, especially after seeing him destroy Eboue i think a couple of years ago.
As for tonight i have got a very good feeling that we will win, i would go for this team tonight:
Cech
Ivanovich, Luiz, Terry, Cole
Ramires, Lampard
Sturridge, Mata, Torres
Drogba
Subs: Hilario, Cahill, Bertrand, Bosingwa, Essien, Malouda and Kalou.

If we play Drogba we might as well say bye bye to the champions league tonight. Torres must play
