Willian

[drippin]

Thats what I meant. They would've solved our defensive issues, Gabriel won't

What do you mean? Because we can't get those two, we should buy no one (who is close to them or budget friendly with great potential)?

No we should but he's not as good as Arsenal fans think he is. He's not a world beater at all and like I said he is better than what we got

Defensively, is Gabriel better than Upamecano, D.Carlos, etc ?

Why you asking on here? 99% of this forum haven’t watched Gabriel, don’t know anything about him and aren’t in any position to make any sort of critique. This forum is absolutely clueless on Gabriel.

Which is normal because who has time or need to watch Lille regularly unless you are really crazy about the game.

If he was a world beater, he would be out of reach like those two.

He has one very good season under his belt and great potential qualities like speed & size & passing ability.

I don't understand your criticism at all here. What should Arsenal do?

I'm not one that judges by youtube comps as well so you have a point. Could be a hit or miss

Think he'll do great in Santi role

Has been consistent, has a good engine and also physicality for Chelsea in the league for years.

As with the Cedric signing, you already know what you’re getting, they’re not going to suddenly change who they’ve been as a player for years in the same league.

And everything I have seen from willian from seasons past, his skill set and experience is needed here for sure, very clever signing.

I think it is great how versatile Willian is. Wasn't he played on the right mostly because of Hazard?

Doing a Santi could be on the cards, great free addition.

@GDeep™ are you still here?

 

[Trilly]

Then we should forget the Coutinho rumors I guess..

Wer're getting both, Joga Bonito baby!

I've watched him quite a bit. Almost every game actually.

For me in the PL, only Laporte, VVD and maybe Gomez are better.

If true, then we're getting a good cb

 

[Uptown_Gooner]

Why did this turn into a Gabriel thread?

I might have lied

 

[MD3 Gunner]

I might have lied

Since you've got KT on your dp, I trust you

@OnlyOne has ushered in the era of lying on A-M. This is going to be an interesting few weeks.

I expect Willian to have a KDB-esque transition from the wing to CM. He's a very good ball Carrier, competent passer and an excellent dribbler. Better than anything we have in midfield for sure

I hope you mean LW Santi and not DLP Santi
