United thread 2017/18

[doobyedoobye]

Willian has never scored more than ten goals a season. Would be a weird one this.

TV cameras caught Jose having a word with him when he was about to come on as a substitute

Good. Another player that will be 30 by the start of next season. Give him a 5 year contract.

Mourinho rates Willian because he runs around a lot and does his defensive work. He's decent enough going forward, but signing him would basically sum up where their priorities lie. He'd be the new Park Ji-sung for them. Without the noodle endorsements, obviously.

Sad news Blues. Next season is wee Davey's last one at the rags.

Are they not extending his contract?

He's a wide right attacker, something they need hugely.

This has been floating around for at least a week, linked with a Martial swap.

That then allows them to quote a transfer fee of nil, as is currently in vogue for Sanchez' transfer.

Willian is the last thing United need. Yet another straight line running non creative workhorse. Their biggest problem is goals, Willian barely scores or assists.

He's got a 1 in 4 scoring record for the last 3 seasons, which isn't bad.

But he only plays 12 games a season ;-)

Yes, I was using every competition.
Cut off that early year, and 19 goals, 15 assists in 3 years. 105 matches, some of which will be subs - 1/5 goals, 1/7 assists. Not earth shattering, but not bad.

Fabregas in that time has 98 matches, 12 goals (no idea on assists), which is in line with Willian.
