Willian

[Mad 4 It]

Don't know much about the guy, but as the saying goes don't look a gift horse in the mouth

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Lots of people pointed out over the past couple of years that we needed width to give us a Plan B for when the tippytappy game wasn't working.

Forgetting that Navas probably is now Plan A...The long sought after "Plan B" depends on Navas alone. Milner has been great in preseason but what if Navas is out for a few games?

Maybe we may need another winger - just to cover for Navas. Doesn't matter if they are LW or RW cos we'll never play with both.

Why not?

I thought the club denied interest in Willian? Anzhi may claim that they received and rejected a bid, but that would be standard opportunism to draw out other bidders, no?

I just don't see teams like ours playing the traditional 442 with 2 wingers. It's history.

Or we could do something like this...
----------Dzeko-----------
Willian--Silva--Navas

With Jovetic and Nasri and Milner rotating with the "3" and Negredo/Aguero rotating with Dzeko (Aguero can play as second striker too). However I don't see us getting Willian so this is a nonstarter really.

 

[TonyM]

I too think its a Noahn-starter.

Why does it have to be 4-4-2?
Dortmund, Bayern, Real Madrid, United, Juventus and Barca all often play with 2 wingers

Why are people still discussing this when the club have denied any link?

I don't know :-)

I suppose its because we all badly want the club to go for him which would hopefully mean that Sinclair will move on and kick start his career elsewhere.

Coentrao for Kolorov and Pepe to replace Kolo Toure would be a perfect end to a dream window for me.
