Willian on a free?

I saw on the BBC gossip page that we have made contact with Willian about the possibility of a free transfer this summer.

Obviously we would all much prefer Sancho, but if he isn't available this summer or moves elsewhere, would anyone consider Willian as a short term option? I think if Sancho stayed in Dortmund and was an option next summer than I'd take Willian for now, but if Sancho were to go elsewhere, I'd rather we looked at someone younger rather than a stop-gap.

We don’t need another squad player. We’re in desperate need of a right winger but if we don’t get who we want I don’t want us signing someone like Willian.

But these are the players in the squad that play on that side. We don’t need more squad players, is my point, and that’s what Bailey would be as he’s not a top player. Plus he’s been playing mainly on the left anyway.

We don’t need either of those players. And it we cannot get Sancho for another year we’ll be better served giving more game to Greenwood on the right.

We’d probably sign Grealish as well and look at changing shape a lot of the time as well as shifting him out there on occasion, I reckon.

I’ve a feeling we’ll get Sancho

This report came from some French site

So we can conclude it isn't happening. We'd end up sticking with what we have rather than get Willian in the scenario is Sancho coming next.

Do we reckon the £120m reported asking price will have shifted for Dortmund?

They hardly need to sell, do they?

I think he’ll go for less than that eventually.

Hasn’t he got 2 years on his contract? If they wait until next year it could really affect the price they get for him. I reckon £100m would do it for them, think they paid £8m or something

The reason I think we’ll get him is because no one else can either afford or willing be willing to cough up.

Really thought Chelsea would be in for him but with Ziyech and Werner in the bag I don’t see it.

There will probably be some easily attainable add ons to spread the cost.
