If they are serious they should buy two and replace Macguire.

IMO a rubbish signing for Arsenal. Willian is dead set average, a grafter without much end product, the kind of guys you see at mid table clubs.

EXCLUSIVE: Sportsmail has been told that a deal in principle has been agreed for some time - and it will see the 32-year-old winger handsomely rewarded.

NO NO NO. It's not allowed to be counted that way.

So much money for an ageing average player, I really dont get this this for Arsenal. No re-sale value, he's not a world beater, he's in the twilight of his career and he's just gonna take minutes of younger players with scope for improvement. Not to mention, it's not like a top up, a push Arsenal over the line to win the league with a little experience type signing as they are way off it.
Just from all angles, I just dont get it. I dont get how it benefits the club at all.

We using the daily fail as a factual source now?
His agent is Kia. Not that hard to figure out.

Arsenal should have chased Benrahma, cheaper, younger and more upside.
If Willian isnt signed as depth then they're treading water.

Yeah a lot of apparently reliable peeps are saying its happening. Frank gets the LB he wants, i dont like it but i guess a least we are backing the manager.

Yeah im not sure why its such a shock. He was on similar money at Chelsea and being a free of course hes going to get a huge signing on fee too.
Plus there's the Kia factor and hes a parasite.

Ferdinand and Vidic, we’d then walk the league.
All for it if it means you miss out on Declan.

Nah, thats probably one for next summer anyway.All for it if it means you miss out on Declan.
But if we miss out on Havertz who knows.

What other sites?
Think this is around the mark going off a few reports.
Obviously he'll be earning a decent sign on fee as a free agent, but it's a bit misleading the way some papers have reported it. But overall I don't think wages of £150k or so is unreasonable for Willian. The third year of the contract probably is though.
It's a short-term play at experienced squad depth, in a market where the club doesn't have much to spend on transfer fees. It isn't a top up in a title contending sense, but it sort of is in a "try and get back in the top 4" sense.
Willian isn't s**t, and he isn't elite. And it's questionable to give him a 3 year deal. But he'll offer us a fair bit next season which is the point of it all IMO.
Yep.

Yeah actually checking back to football365 and ESPN their ‘report’ was Daily Mail.
Think we need to finish top 10 next season to have any chance of keeping him after that.
That said, we really need new owners, apparently we sold Ajeti for 4.5M, just to pay an installment on Haller's transfer so we wouldn't get reported to FIFA, shows how badly mismanaged we are....
