Either he renews or leaves, as their owner Della Valle explained yesterday they want to avoid the same issue that happened with Montolivo. Developments are expected, with Milan waiting.

I'm very surprised that Chelsea has splashed the cash on a CB. I don't rate Cahill at all. Maybe it still happens...

Zenit make €30m offer for Mandzukic, according to Bild.

The thing is Fio don't want a repeat of Monty deal, so they're flocking to every club out there and offering the player. Thing is that Adem wants Milan and only Milan. Fio will eventually succumb to our 8m deal OR keep him for another year and we'll get him for free

What a beautiful lovestory SES

sports you never answered in the Liverpool section, are the rumours for Sahko and Liverpool true? Or is the media guessing? :X

Demi-God on his way to City :bow:

I have no doubt he will be huge for them, even if he isn't a starter. For me he was easily the best centre back in La Liga last year.

So who is Spurs' alternative for Willian ? Any names being mentioned ?

by McAgger Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:08 pm

I love when Chelsea make stupid signings like that :bow:

This means in about 6/12 months some very good players will be Pool players for very cheap :bow:

Brendan Rodgers has hinted that Willian's decision not to join Liverpool is related to money and not football.

The Anfield club were reported to have made the first approach for the Brazilian winger, but were gazumped by Tottenham before a late bid from Chelsea ensured Rodgers missed out on the former Shakhtar Donetsk man.

But while the Northern Irishman admitted that he was disappointed not to have signed the 25-year-old, he questioned the reasons behind the player's choice.
"It’s disappointing because this was a player who would have been perfect for us," Rodgers admitted. "It wasn’t a football [decision] and I don’t really want to go into it… that’s for us as a club really.

"The bottom line is he hasn’t come here for whatever reason and we move on.

"We identify the targets and then try and get the deal done financially. That’s how it was.

"The club has pushed financially as hard as they felt they could but it wasn’t to be."

Willian only signed for current club Anzhi Makhachkala in January but has now been made available for transfer after the Russian outfit moved to off-load some of their top earners.

Its not a football decision to reject a team who finished 7th last season and hasn't played in CL for nearly 5 years for a team who plays CL and has a chance to win the title?

Ok Laughing

Never understood that argument

It's about 'money' and not 'football'

No... going to a club in the CL offers better money AND football.

I'd love him to define a 'football decision'

Better chance of getting trophies? Chelsea
Better chance of playing in the CL? Chelsea
Better chance to IMPRESS on the big stage, and earn a NT call up? Chelsea.

Reminds me of the idiots that said Ba left to join Chelsea for money rofl

Yeah i'm sure it had nothing to do with that he wanted to join a team who were at the time CL holders and the opportunity to play with world class players Laughing

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:25 pm

Exactly. If he was picking between, say Milan and a rich Russian club, then people would have a point.

But when you move to a club for:

More money
CL football
Chance at winning trophies
Better chance of being recognised.
Finishing your career with a better legacy

Then people should just keep quiet instead of pretending that all of those factors except for 'Money' don't exist.
