Good news but nonetheless goodbye Will and good luck / god bless. Thanks for the memories, time has definitely come for us to part ways though, despite being incredibly frustrating and never really producing goals/assists consistently most of the time he still had some great seasons especially 2015-2016 and great games and worked very hard for the team, so thank you for the memories and the 7 years of service!
WILLIAN LETTER TO CHELSEA FANS
They were seven wonderful years. In August 2013 when I received the offer from Chelsea, I was convinced that this was where I had to play. Today I am certain that it was the best of decisions. There were so many happy times, some sad, there were trophies and it was always very intense.
.
.
Yet, beyond the trophies, I learnt a lot about myself. I developed a great deal, becoming a better player and a better person. With each training session, with each game, with every minute spent in the dressing room, I was always learning.
.
.
I am really grateful to the Chelsea fans for the affectionate way they welcomed me at Stamford Bridge and their support throughout my time at the club. There was also criticism, which is normal, what is important though is that both the affection and criticism drove me to always give my all in every training session, every game, to be constantly improving until my very last minute in a Chelsea shirt!
.
.
The time has now come to move on. I am certainly going to miss my teammates. I will miss all the staff at the club who’ve always treated me like a son and I will miss the fans. I leave with my head held high, safe in the knowledge that I won things here and always did my best in a Chelsea shirt!
.
.
My heartfelt thanks go out to all of you and God bless you!

A 3yr deal for someone his age is daft. Especially when he’s already someone that’s hot and cold

Good news, rather Willian play for them in the front 3 than one of Pepe/Auba/Laca, makes them weaker. Plus Willock/Maitland-Niles are arguably better and blocks them as well

Wow you really think Willock is a better player than William. You clearly don't watch us that often. As for AMN, he has played as a full back
