Willian

[truth_hurts]

Listen, he's better than what we got no doubt even if you add Saliba but he won't solve our defensive problems. Still think we're going to concede more than 40 again this season

A stabilised system, more mobile defenders and more midfield balance will help us defensively. Also, having mlre players who are comfortable on the ball like Willian should stop us giving it away so easily and being under pressure.

Make this one for Willian !

Says he’s 35 on his Wikipedia page too.

Do you have any evidence he’s not 35 @Highbury_2006 ?

Stop trolling.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

You are talking like you have seen him enough when you have seen him in one game. Get real.

I wish I knew whether it was Mislintat or not who turned down Soyoncu in favor of Sokratis

You mean he's 35?
Thought he was 32. This made me even more happy.

At least he brings an extra 3 year experience to our team.

Great stuff

I dont see the relevance in that question.

 

[Riou]

As soon as you pass your 32nd birthday, you are technically closer to 35 than to 32 (as you can't go back in time) it's just how it works people.

Soyuncu is as average a Defender as they come. I've seen him plenty if times this season and yet he's managed to look on the same level as Chambers/Holding

Because honestly someone like him would've been brilliant for us

Okay. Good to know.

He's 34 till he's 35

Yeah I don't see it with him either.. Maybe he's brilliant when I'm not watching him lol. From what I've seen though he would have annoyed me so much if he was our player.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

I think Soyuncu is quality, reminds me a bit of Kos.

But better in aerial duels

Lets hope you have seen him in more than one game.

I have all season

Good. Thats better than one game.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Good. Thats better than one game.

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

Dives in a lot, remember him getting embarrassed for our opening goal against them.

Had a good start to the season but was a liability after Christmas. Got shredded by City and Liverpool and never recovered.

Remember Danny Ings and Chris Wood mugging him off all game along when they lost both at home.

I'm very sure he is not, but those players are out of reach.

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