Oh well moving on. I don't think it's the end of the world if we don't get Willian and he goes to Chelsea as I think we have other options.
We have options on the wide spots with Chadli, Lennon and Townsend. If we get Lamela we will be even stronger there.
Without Willian we are a tad light down the middle with only Holtby and Siggy and we lack a little flair and creativity.
But there are other creative ACMs available like Adem Ljajic (reported €12m buy out clause), Christian Eriksen (reported 1 year left on contract) and Miralem Pjanic (might be difficult if we get Lamela as AS Roma probably will not need to sell any more players or reduce their wage bill any further) and all 3 are younger than Willian.
I think we need to get Lamela wrapped up and then move quickly on Ljajic, Eriksen or Pjanic (plus getting a CB, possibly a LB and getting Halilović wrapped up for next season).
