Biggest example of modern football’s problem. 3 year multi-million pound deal for a complete has been to see out his days and earn a fortune! Fuckin waste of space!
Yes it was incredibly bad buisness no doubt about that.....
He has shown in the past what he could do mainly for the chavs, thats in the past
He is really taking the piss he plays as if he dont like football and cant really be bothered, annoys the fuck out of me
Totally against the move when it was muted, what incentive has the guy got, 3 year DEAL FFS
All comes back to Artetas poor management, he should not allow Willian to get away with this, in fact he praises him and plays him at every occasion he can
Think he might need at least a full season to get used to the premier league.
I don't think the useless c.unt could play in the Andorran premier league these days
Absolutely. Has to be one of the worst signings in the last 20 years - and he has some competition there!
As much as I really do not rate the likes of Maitland-Bendtner and Pillock, both have contributed more in any given 10 minutes on the pitch than Huff n Puff has in his entire time with us.

Just seeing the lazy uselessCUNT wearing an Arsenal top even in a pre-match warm up makes my Pisss Boil.

Arteta pushed hard to get him, he will keep playing him no matter how shit he plays
“What he’s doing at the moment, the way he’s training, the way he’s working, the way he’s willing to give everything to the team is what I demand,” Arteta said on Wednesday night.
“Whether he’s more successful or less successful in the game is another matter, it will come with the quality that he has but this is what I demand to every player.
“A full commitment and to put the passion and everything they have in every training session and when they have the opportunity to play and so far Willian has done that every single day.”
Asked if criticism of the midfielder, who three assists in 24 appearances this season, has been undeserved, Arteta added: “I don’t say it’s unfair because with Willy the expectation is really high in terms of the goals he can score.
“The assists he can create, you expect him to be in the starting lineup as well so it’s normal that people write things about him. We have to protect him, we have to support him as much as we can because he deserves it from the way he handles his profession and the way he is with us.”

He has been dreadful since he joined us, but there's no doubt he was a fucking decent player and a regular match winner for the chavs!
I know he's getting on but surely that can't account for such a deterioration.

I remember wrighty saying that, "with all due respect to the other clubs, a part of me was left behind when I left Arsenal and I was never the same player".
It is possible that the same is happening here ? Personally I just believe that his best days are gone, and more importantly the motivation is no longer there. Just get rid already
