Willian was dropped from today's game as well so that is a big sign that something is going on!
Why pay that much for him now, he will be in the last 12 months of his contract come the summer and will be much cheaper. I don't think he is the type of winger we need tbh. He plays more or less the same as Mata. We need a more direct player like Hazard.
Having a pact winger will stretch the play allowing our midfield more space, this will be a godsend for mata who could become truly devastating.
We need two attacking players tbh, Willian and someone else
He has pace, but from what i've seen is that he really uses it. Maybe a few dribbles with the ball and good through passes, but not a out and out winger, versatile though.
Has he got pace? We desperately need a good dribbler with pace.
As for Hazard, forget about him. He wants to go to Spain and Real Madrid are interested.
I can't seem to find a link for it but check on twitter and you'll find it there.
Yeah, we need two players but I think for now Willian is enough. Yeah, Willian is versatile as he can play left, right and behind striker. He is like a quicker Mata so would be good however, a lot of fans disagree.
Surely he'd have work permit issues
Any attacking player would do. This whole lacklustre performances has to stop!
Also a lot of fans disagree because of the Hazard stuff and think Willian is a significant step down
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. He will have work permit issues. It's not our fault, Hazard not leaving till summer but I think we will still try go for him in summer.
I don't understand though, Willian is like a quicker version of Mata, not at his level though but is only 23 so can improve as a player. If we sign him now and that £24 million will be nothing in two years time when his at the top playing if big players. A left winger is a must!
weird, since AVB said after the game that " we shouldnt be interested in players that are not available to play in all competitions, his answer came in response to rumors regading this particular player! and i would rather we pay an extra 7-8 m and get hazard, 2 years younger, no work permit issues, and amazing talent
The point is Hazard obviously doesn't want to come or Lille don't want to sell
I think if we don't sign a left winger, we could risk getting top four cause today we were poor. Mata needs to get moved to central position and we need a left winger which we haven't got, Malouda is c.r.a.p. Hazard will leave in the summer and I'm sure we will go after him.
Willian replace Malouda.
Hazard replace Kalou.
every player has a price, if we pay Lille the 30-35 they want they he is ours as simple as that, i would also suggest we offer them Malouda as a money plus player deal, this way Lille wont have to look for a replacement, we save money, and get rid of a moaning Malouda! we can add Kalou as a sweatner for free!
You have said willian is not on mata's level. Yet you want to pay £24M for him when we signed Mata for £23.5M.
I get that other clubs will look at our history and assume we will shell out over the top prices.
We have to change that image.
If Willian isn't worth £24M then we shouldn't pay that much for him, there are other players out there.
Only 24 Million lol. Football these days....
Sairex: Lille know in the summer, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal etc will come after him and they need him to get a champions league spot.
g13day: Yeah, Willian is good like a quicker version of Mata but not on his level. Willian is only 23 and in the long term will be a great signing so he'll be worth it.
Finally, yes ONLY 24 million as everyone is over-priced in jan.
I would be for a Willian signing but not over this 24 million. Any attacking player would be good but we don't have to massively overpay for one unless things really get desperate I.e. Deadline day
Yeah, we've made a bid of £24 million on the dot. I think we will wait until deadline day to try and sign Hazard but if that fails then Willian will do for £24 million.
I can't find a link for it now but if you go on twitter and put his name on the search, it will say.
