I can't see us signing Willian after signing Chadli. They both play in the same position/s pretty much. I know Willian is the better footballer, but surely would be stupid to buy two players who occupy the same position.
It would add strength and depth to the squad.

BREAKING: Anzhi gave Willian's agent permission to talk with other clubs & he'll no longer play for them again. #LFC linked [Спорт-Экспресс]

We have to sign this guy. The fact that Big Phil will be watching Little Paul and Sandro has to give us an edge. I know Scouse have Coutinho and Lucas, but they don't seem to be in his plans as much.

I think it is fairly clear AVB likes Willian, so i'd not be at all surprised to see us make a move for him. We're certainly looking to make a statement this summer.

Another thing to sway him is sandro paulinho and playing with bale. I think if we agree a fee we would be his first choice to be fair like you all say him and AVB are BFF.

So is he mainly a left-sided attacking then?

I'm guessing that means Bale would continue to play a more central free role with Willian on the left if he comes?

Although I was also under the impression from the last time we were linked that he could also play as the central VDV-type role?

No Willian is a floater but he predominantly starts on the left or in the middle but he drifts thats what would make us so dangerous with Bale AND Willian.

He is?

Did I miss this?


It is popularly thought on this board that in AVB likes inverted wingers with his preferred 4-3-3 system, so Bale's place will be on the right wing, cutting in to shoot with his left foot much like Hulk at Porto. I believe in the one friendly that Bale played this offseason, that was his position.

You must have. Bale is more of a goal threat from the right side as he is left footed and able to cut in from the right and take a shot on goal. He started there the last few games of last season.

For me, if Willian is to be bought he'd have to take up a central role. The wing forwards in a 4-3-3 need to be more direct and smash in more goals (and goal attempts) than Willian can offer. I think he'd be more suited to the role at the top of the middle 3 (behind the striker) creating through balls and passing into space for the front 3. Either way, just thinking about it is making me light headed.

he's going to choose liverplop over us??

was that from marca?????

:ROFLMAO:


Liverpool might be willing to pay more than us to get him... I really hope not because Sturridge-Coutinho-Suarez-Willian would be good for a lot of goals. Fortunately they'd still be shit everywhere else though.

I've got a feeling we changed target from Lamela to Willian if he is available..... just wonder if we can handle the salary.

Willian knows he made a mistake by joining Anzhi. I don't think he'll make the same mistake and join the Bindippers. His dream move would be us and AVB.
