Willian

Gunner89

Has been doing the rounds for a while. Another Kia player-

[size=small]Arsenal were ready to give Chelsea forward Willian a £250,000-a-week contract before the coronavirus pandemic struck.[/size]

[size=small]It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal follow through with a deal for the 31-year-old Brazilian who becomes a free agent this summer because of the financial implications and current spotlight on the transfer set-up at the club.[/size]

[size=small]Free agents generally get bigger deals but Arsenal may struggle to hit that figure now.[/size]
[size=small]One expert believes contracts for run-of-the-mill free agents could drop by 50 per cent and even better ones like Willian, Jan Vertonghen and Adam Lallana could get 25 per cent less.[/size]
[size=small]Super agent Kia Joorabchian is of course Willian’s agent and no-one can deny he is having an increasing influence at Arsenal.[/size]
[size=small]However, the club have been quick to point out that the Iranian is not technical director Edu’s agent and never has been.[/size]

Fuck that, we've already got a similar player in Pepe. I can't imagine how shit our team would be if we had Willian and Pepe in the same frontline.

Klaus

250K per week 😆

Claudius

I will assume that this is just an attempt to rile up an already on-edge fan base.

No fuck off. Last thing we need is a 31 year old winger who was never top tier in the first place. We might as well just bring Walcott back, at least it'd be cheaper and he hasn't been at Chelsea for years.

Willian is good but that’s just daft money.

Wonder if we could get Mata? He’s old enough and not really first team material at one of our rivals

Probs stick with the Kia route mind so Willian and Coutinho it will be

Clrnc

Even at his peak, other than some freekicks he is so toothless.

MistaT

Would rather Mata, because we need some creativity....but no need for pensioners at this point

Gazza M

The press name drops kia in every article now. This dude is getting more press than he's had in years

And we already have Pepe for free kicks.

Another factor is that Chelsea, who face Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League the following weekend, do not want to lose Willian for nothing to a rival. Brinkmanship is the order of the day. Two years or three years? There is little room for manoeuvre and unless one side blink, the smart money is on Willian joining David Luiz in north London.

Also kia says he has offers from PL clubs

Klaus

Kia needs to fuck off and die. What good is a bloody pandemic if it spares people like this?

QuincyAbeyie

He sounds like a very good agent if you ask me. 😆

If we sign Willian someone needs to investigate Rauls accounts because there is no way any one would sign Willian to Arsenal at the moment for footballing reasons.

Gunner89

He's scored like 9 in the league and has another 7-8 assists.

That's a better return than any of our wide players.

Factor in his work rate.

Probably not worth a 3 year deal but he's not a bad option for 1-2 years.

Problem is, he wants a 3 year deal. If he is willing to settle for 2 years he would have signed the contract Chelsea offered him

Just stick that money into someone like Freakish if possible, or play Nelson if not possible.

I actually rate William, even now, but it would be a regressive move.

Claudius

Is Freakish Capi-speak for Grealish?

Captain

That's google autocorrect for Grealish!
