Canāt see him leaving. Will probably be like Ćzil, stuck here on big wages without being involved.
Yeah no way anyone will want him
By looking for bids meaning theyāre literally begging
A year on and still mind boggling to think we gave him a 200k/week contract. Has to be one of the worst deals weāve done recently.
āAllegedlyā
We had too many reports range his wages from 100k to 200k.
A Kia special
When you sign a player for free the consequence is that you offer him higher wages. The only issue with this deal was the length of the deal. I have no concerns with giving a player of his experience and quality the wage we did.
It hasnāt worked out for us but the signs were there that Willian is ultimately a good player and would bring a wealth of experience to the team.
The overarching issue here is the sheer volume of shit transfers weāve made over the last decade. All that does is unfortunately shine an even greater light on the poor ones we make now.
But signing a Brazilian international who was coming off a strong season for Chelsea on a free transfer wasnāt a bad deal. We just should maybe not have given him a 3 year but rather a 2 + 1
or 1+2 =)
Good post though and I agree with a lot of the sentiment.
Willian is mostly a 1 year bad signing in retrospect, but when we did the deal, a one year deal would have seemed really smart.
Getting stuck with another albatross for 2 more years is a F*ing shambles, particularly in the context of so much other bad business (the point you make).
It was a bad deal because he was blatantly coming here for a pay day and to stay in London.
Have to side eye any dude that takes that kind of deal because they know we aināt shit and are used to winning the biggest trophies but pony up anyways to a team so far on the slide itās no longer a joke.
Yeah. I think you can afford to take a bad deal like Willian every once in a while but when you look across the board you can say weāve made the following bad deals in the last 5-8 years (hindsight included in many of these deals);
Kolasinac
Ozil extension
Cech
Lacazette
Mustafi
New Xhaka extension
Runarsson
Mari
Saliba (because he will never play)
Pepe (love him but the Ā£72m price tag will likely never stop being an issue)
Torreira (good punt but hasnāt worked out and now we canāt sell him)
Perez (signed for Ā£20m, sold for peanuts)
There just so much shit to draw back on that any deal we make now that doesnāt work out is just magnified times 10 by the fans.
Bang on. I wasnāt a fan of the move but on paper it wasnāt bad business aside the length of the contract.
Not even worth counting down the days until his wage is off the books as you just know weāll do something as equally dumb giving out another ridiculous contract to someone else 
Weāll probably again sign someone on a high wage 3 year contract whoās clearly looking to join us as his retirement home and earn some decent money in the process
Iāve havenāt got issue with the punt but Edu got worked by Kia here. A 3 year deal was a rookie mistake and now a burden on the club.
Has he fukt out yet?
We already did. His name is Granit Xhaka.
This fucking guy
