Willian has long been a divisive player in the Chelsea fanbase. Some think of the Brazilian as inconsistent and wasteful, others see him as a creative wildcard essential to the team’s attacking play over the last few years.
This summer, he’s become divisive in a new way. With interest in him from top clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid, there’s been debate among fans over whether we should sell him.
The offers from Barcelona reportedly grew quite large, to the point that there was a growing clamour saying that we should take the money for a player who’s probably about to begin his decline, but it appears that our valuation of him was even higher.
Now the Brazilian is back in London ready to start preseason, and his latest quotes, carried by SportWitness here, claim that he’s happy at Chelsea.
So whatever you felt about the sale, and however you feel about Willian, it’s time to accept that he’s staying, and will likely play an important role this coming season.
