Really? You think Willian is better than HoltbyBergmattsson
No, I don't but I don't respect players that so blatantly choose money over ambition (i.e. Willian) and I'm more than pleased with Lewis.
Won't deny that Willian is class though.

You have proof Willian chose money over ambition? Looks like Šaxtar looked for the biggest transfer fee they could get, and only then did Willian get into the picture.No, I don't but I don't respect players that so blatantly choose money over ambition (i.e. Willian)
I though Anzhi triggered his release clause, no?Looks like Šaxtar looked for the biggest transfer fee they could get

As far as I've heard, Willian isn't on the sort of wages we could never hope to pay. Some places had it being fairly reasonable, if not unexpectedly low all things considered. The problem wasn't the money he wanted, it was what Shaktar wanted. Fair enough though, they should get what they think the player is worth.No, I don't but I don't respect players that so blatantly choose money over ambition (i.e. Willian) and I'm more than pleased with Lewis.

Just because Anzi Makachakalakakakakakakakakakakakakakaa offered 35 million quatloos for him doesn't mean this Will.I.an chap had to bow to Shaq Attack Dohnuts Demands and just go to Dagestan does it? If he really really wanted to turn down the Roubles and come and play for a sensible club in one of the proper leagues he could have held his nerve and waited for his contract to run down to a point where it was unsustainable.
That move was about nothing but money.

Russian site Sport-Ekspress quoted 2.5m€/yr, so that's about £50k/wk or so.As far as I've heard, Willian isn't on the sort of wages we could never hope to pay.
