With the signing of Pedro now imminent many Chelsea fans will feel that they have got one over their great rivals Manchester United.
The North West club seemingly dragged their heels on the deal and Chelsea stole in with typical decisiveness to do the deal quickly and relatively quietly.
But we wonder what this means for Willian going forward?
We have already touched upon this subject and the response from many Chelsea fans is that Pedro will provide the goals that Willian doesn’t.
But there is also a big contingent of Chelsea fans who believe that the Brazilian is an underrated and extremely important member of the team.
We have to say that we are massive fans of his and, given the choice, we would pick him in the Chelsea XI ahead of Pedro.
Chelsea could of course play Hazard through the middle and play either Pedro or Willian on the left.
It seems likely at this point that it will initially be a case of either or with Pedro and Willian.
But we believe that pace is an ever more important quality in Premier League football and Willian – who signed for Chelsea for £32m – has far more of it than his Spanish peer.
So we would like to think that Willian could be shoe horned in there somewhere.
So, for our strongest XI, we are going to drop Oscar and give Hazard a try through the centre with Willian cutting in from the left onto his stronger foot, which may in turn improve his goal return.
Chelsea fans: let’s have your XIs with Pedro at the club

its hard time he learn to use hazard to get more goals, if he wants to compete wit messi n ronaldo. Costa should rest coz he doesn’t have d spirit of sportsmanship

I think playing oscar as number 10 would be a nice one then willian in for pedro in the second half then hazard at his normal position, fabregas and matic as d holding midfielders, baba, azpilicueta, cahill and terry completes the back 4 and we’re good to go.

Most of you guys are fools,I don’t know and can’t understand why you keep omitting Ivanovic in our backline,he is just as important.I can’t agree as well for the sale of Oscar and Willian.

the main problem of CFC is Fabregas is currently struggling for form..i think fabregas is a player we can’t relay on,too soft on the ball,poor in set pies,he make us feel the absence of lampard.. william shld replace fabregas in that double 4 position why oscar shld be given the role of no 10.. oscar is a talented with grt vision and also a future player,that we can relay and build the team on for years.i think we need a player like EVER BENEGA of sevila who can solve the problem of set pies in cfc,he is creative and strong on the ball as a cover up for oscar and willian … even the coach can be rotating willian and benega…Oscar shld be given the no 10 role permanent, by doing that he will discover himself and be a very good player for us…let pogba be,he is too expensive we don’t need him also falcao shld leave and be replace by Charlie Austin of QPR / Griezman of ATH MADRID or chicharito of man utd..ivanovic shld be rest for Azipicuta why baba shld take on left back…the money of pogba we can use it to get those play i list.. in which i believe they the kind of players we need and the suit our style of play….
first XI….coutious,baba,aziplicuta,Cahill, terry,matic,benega,hazard,pedro,Oscar,costa
SUB=Fabregas,willian,zouma,ivanovic,remy,Austin/Griezman/chicharito…. if hv this squad than we can conquer Europe and England

Comment:I like willian, he works hard but playing him as a number 10 wouldn’t be a good idea because of his goal return, we can ask a player like David silva to comment on that…so i choose oscar as the number 10, hazard and pedro on the wings and falcao as our n9, let’s give him a full chance ( Diego Costa wastes precious minutes on fights, he will get a red card someday in a very important match and will therefore penalise us and he isn’t better than falcao with the header, which is very crucial due to the fact that pedro is a crosser)
