[@chinaldo10]

AlmightyStarfire to be fair, not the ones who stay very wide, favour carrying the ball more frequently, mainly cross the ball or cut inside and shoot. Wide playmakers tend to have more creativity and play more narrow and linkup with intricate passing and make the team tick (as well as having all the above winger traits in their locker). Think Rosicky, Hleb, Nasri, Pires, Hazard, Ribery etc ... whereas out and out wingers are more like Aaron Lennon, Giggs (prime), Robben, CR7 (at United) etc.

In addition, we have young talented players upfront (Saka Martinelli nketiah Nelson) who will surely lack game time if Willian arrives and don't forget his high wage...So I guess his arrival is useless if not Harmful !!

[@shaillalji6951]

We are most likely to play a 4 3 3 next season providing we get defensive recruitments. Therefore Willian will be an excellent back up to pepe and also as a left winger if we want to play auba through the middle. Also he could maybe switch to a attacking mid role as a player in front of a midfield duo of ceballos and xhaka. Again this depends on recruitment as we need to get ceballos on another loan or permenant deal. That's how i think he is gonna fit in.

Lacazette is reportingly leaving (I hope not) but.then we could lineup Willian - Auba - Pepe. That would frighten every defense in Europe.

@@danw1726 there is zero evidence that old players at this club help contribute to a perceptible increase in quality for the youth players. It's just one of those things people like to regurgitate to justify buying another old player.

[@ksligh4893]

He had a contract offer at Chelsea, he is free because Arsenal persuaded him to not a sign a new deal at Chelsea. He's taking a lower salary just to join Arsenal.

[@alwayshardbeinganarsenalfan]

Erwin Ferdinand not really. He wanted a three year deal but Chelsea only offered him a two year deal.

[@tokunbodaniel2243]

If Willian goes there, he's gonna fit there, but he's gonna be like David Luiz which means he's best days are gonna pass him like they way David Luiz days have pass. He's gonna regret leaving just like Coutinho regretting leaving Liverpool. We all saw it, when David Luiz went, he vowed to make Arsenal back in top 4, now look, his performance has been a disgrace, also Coutinho in Barca before moving to Bayern was the same. He gonna regret it, cuz He won't play much games, and he's gonna be like Hazard(his performance this season) next season. I can bet, at Arsenal, he won't be the same.If it hurts Arsenal fans, sorry, but I got to say the truth in my heart.

[@georgeuzeogbu3841]

Fuck you prick

[@abrahamgonzalez9393]

Finding my comment from a year ago an I was right, overpaid shit finished player coming here for retirement. But hey trust the process

[@faizlmujadidi8021]

How's trusting the process going?

[@mcomuonobunde-omuono1132]

Speaking in my capacity as an Arsenal diehard, I mighty love what I am seeing. The guy has a football motherboard in his head.

[@janarnesen3688]

Far off the level of Messi, but is it just me or does this guy play a little similar?

[@mrbossman6811]

He’s far off the level because he don’t score enough goals to be mentioned with the likes of Messi but yes dribbling ability is similar to Messi

[@LauraLasan69]

His play style similar to Iniesta not Messi. But not at the same level

[@guye94]

It’s his acceleration that I think you’re getting at, very nice turn of pace and direction

[@putragabe8654]

In recent years, Hazard and Willian have always been a frightening specter for the arsenal. I am grateful that arsenal can recruit Willian. Dribbles, penetrations and his shoot so powerful. Really good transfer. Good job arsenal.

[@elunico7973]

You gonna see a lot like this from Willian at Arsenal Just Wait..

[@AMNZ7]

Aged well

[@JordanHR15]

This is honestly gonna be great competition for Pepe and make him push to be better cause Willians work rate is amazing and he always wants to score

[@rahuljoshirahulmagic]

He doesn't have any end product. Why we are signing him is a big mystery. First cech Then luiz And now Willian. Looks like a retirement home for Chelsea players

[@mehraj2729]

As much as I hate your comment, I actually agree with it because how are we gonna improve when we play players who have peaked 2-3 years ago? The board is acting like we are Watford and nobody wants to come to us during every transfer from 2014

[@rahuljoshirahulmagic]

@@mehraj2729 exactly, we need Zaha type of players who are young and who have epl experience. Coutinho is also a great addition but willian is pointless.

[@mehraj2729]

@@rahuljoshirahulmagic nope you are wrong there, Zaha's 28 and not young but Coutinho seems like a good addition. Then again if Ceballos stays ,bringing Coutinho might be a bit too much midfielders which always leads to confusion in choosing the exact position of the 3 CM's

[@rahuljoshirahulmagic]

@@mehraj2729 zaha is 27 and still in his prime and he also loves Arsenal already. Further, with coutinho in the squad, coutinho can play no. 10, partey/xhaka as cdm and Ceballos as box to box midfielder, just like we once had ozil, coquelin and santi.

[@mehraj2729]

@@rahuljoshirahulmagic so if you don't play Xhaka in the league,you would have to play him in UEL/FA cup alongside Guendouzi and/or Torreira. We need to play atleast one attacking CM for us to flourish in cup matches,think long term. Also how are you gonna play 3 forwards and a no 10 together with only one CDM. CDM 's stop counter attacks and imagine playing only Partey at CDM. Our defence isn't good enough with one CDM,we need to play Xhaka alongside Partey and have one attacking CM which I would prefer to be Coutinho because he scores a lot of goals

[@Asaconstant]

Well I for one am glad his not going to be running at our defenders anymore, I always found his darting runs around the box a huge source of anxiety as he always manages to drag a few defends opening up space.

[@kcbeverywhere7364]

Maybe the worst signing of 2020/2021

[@lawrencesimmons5093]

Imo Chelsea's best and most consistent player of the past half dozen seasons; he has vision, skill, accuracy and positional sense few others possess. Smart buy. COYG.

[@ibrahimburka8330]

I just hope he doesn’t come in and think he’s gonna take pens off of auba..

[@ajnjaajn2816]

I don’t care who takes our pens as long as we score them

[@crazzyshaggy]

His stats might not be the most flattering but I think he will do a good job by holding the ball and provide channels for other players to run on..he suits the way arteta wants to play and comes free ..so looks good deal for us hopefully

[@maxistan2111]

he isn't the most talented winger but he does have a great work rate ie unlike pepe willian tracks back and helps the defence. However he is inconsistent and if he improves this he would be a top player!!

[@sahilnaveel4626]

Would've been excited if it was 4 years ago, not now. He's 32...

[@praveensekarc]

@Leman Russ agree he is 32 . Are you fine with vardy ? Some players reduce their age to play in under 18 exmaple he could be 20 and provide proof as 18. . In willian case his real age might be 32 thats why he is still performing. No need panic comparing with luiz. He always a liability even when he was in psg. Willian is a work horse and great free kick taker and sharp shooter

[@VJrodell]

Sounds like Arteta wants to play him in the middle so less running and more creativity. He'll be great for a couple of years. Hasn't had any big injuries - a slight hamstring last year and missed one game. He'll look better in Red!

[@ejiro241]

@@VJrodell Yea he will be perfect in the middle. I hope we use him in that role. I'm not sure we will get coutinho anymore.

[@tk-ayodeji7272]

David silva just left city at 34

[@dod608]

He can play atleast for 2 more years, deliver quality to the team then be sold to chinese clubs for millions after

[@prestoplay1508]

This guy is class, happy to have him at Arsenal

[@mandyhill3378]

Love the music. Football master mind, very hard worker. This is Mikels VISION OF ARSENAL cannot wait for the season to start Here we come AGAIN. BLESSINGS TO EACH AND EVERYONE.

[@rahulpm419]

I like willian.....player with a great attitude....he can be a idol for our young players......

[@akshatsharma5051]

He will be very handy in europa league games , we cannot play out first team everytime and also he would provide some experience in a young squad

[@questioneverything751]

The idea is to stretch the attack and isolate defenders . Pepe on right and William on the left will leave a lot of room for Auba to operate . Now we just need a number 10 to feed the top three. Then we play 2 central/holding midfielders
