PL proven shooter from distance, great presser off the ball like Mane, bench player who is content with his role, work rate, etc. I've always rated him. This would be an AMAZING move.
Proven shooter is completely different to a proven scorer. Unfortunately Willian is far from a proven goal scorer; his highest scoring league campaign is 8. He’s been in the league for 7 seasons now and his goal tally’s have been 4, 2, 5, 8, 6, 3 and 5. That’s shocking for such an attacking player who takes so many shots.
He’s far from creative too, his assist numbers are just as underwhelming.
I’d much rather keep Shaqiri than bring in Willian, who by the way, very happily rejected us in favour of Spurs before Chelsea swooped in for him.
He’s one of the most over rated players in the league IMO. He will have a 2-3 game spell where he gets a goal and a couple of assists but then for the next 15 games he will get 0. In fact before his goal and assist in their last game he managed 2 goals in 19 games...them 2 goals came in the same game. He only managed 3 assists then too.
Far better options out there than Willian, who will have turned 32 come next season.
