Cheeky. A fortnight after signing up for another year with Fulham, he’s off to chase the big bucks in the desert. With the Saudi transfer window dragging on deep into September, massive potential for more disruption like this. Hopefully we won’t get any heads turned a month into the season.

Yes lets hope there's no disruption at our expense.
What about Kate & the kids?

Having lots of young players leaves us more protected than some

Willian to FFCtv:
PSYCH!
Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
From a BHA point of view I'm quite glad he's not going to be lining up against us again. He absolutely tore us a new one at the Amex in a Chelsea shirt a few years ago, albeit he's obviously not the player he was back then, but he was really good at Fulham last season.
Surprised at this though. He came back to London from Brazil because of the madness and death threats he was getting over there, he and his family were happy and settled here. I guess the arab pension fund is hard to resist though, when you're at the fag end of your career.

Pretty pissed off about this - can only hope Fulham got a load of cash from the Saudis. Willian was one of our best players last season.

I've got a mate who supports Al Shabab in Saudi and seen some dark days because they're shithouse, but now he reckons Willian is taking to them to the big time. 100%.

If the ref worrier goes there as well, fulham are heading up that waterway with no means of propulsion
You need to keep Palhinha, come Sept 2nd.
Remember that game well. Unfortunately for us, Hazard was even better than Willian that day, probably the greatest individual performance I’ve seen at the Amex. Coutinho runs it close though!

With Saudi taking all the cream, it could make teams more beatable and could level the playing field a bit in the Premeir League.
It was really nothing.

They’re not taking all the cream though. So far, with regards to English teams, they’ve paid good money for players that either the clubs wanted to offload or old players.

They made enquiries and I’d read for more money but he decided to extend his stay in London at Fulham… until the Saudi pension fund came calling.

I see Klopp is complaining about Saudi window being open until mid-September and that UEFA needs to sort it out. Not fair when richer clubs poach your players…….

Yes indeed - which is in fact giving the UK rich clubs even more megabucks to spend - it will never even out
