The moment we all had been waiting for finally arrived as we had the opportunity yet again to witness the much-anticipated and ever-exciting premier league action. It is the start of a new season with a lot of excitements still to come. Arsenal kicked off the premier league season against newly promoted Fulham, a game that saw the Gunners breeze past Fulham to claim number 1 spot on the premier league table.
A pretty decent game for Arsenal who were clearly the better team. Willian who caused a lot of talking points when the reports broke out that he was set to join his fellow Brazillian and business partner Luiz at Arsenal, after rejecting a 2year contract extension at Chelsea as he was looking for a 3 year deal which Arsenal were ready and willing to offer him that.
After it was confirmed and made official that Willian was an Arsenal player, lots of talking points surfaced again whether he will be able to perform at Arsenal – well his performance earlier yesterday showed that he is more than capable of being one of the top players in this Arsenal team.
Against Fulham, we saw Willian get involved in 3 of Arsenal goals, bagging a hattrick of assist in his first game as a Gunner, a dream start for Willian as all eyes of the Chelsea fans will be on him to see how he performs throughout the season. As expected, talking points is currently flying around whether Chelsea made a big mistake to let Willian join Arsenal… For me, it is more of inbetween if you look at it at different angles.
Willian leaving Chelsea meant that Chelsea could sign younger and more exciting talents like Ziyech, Havertz etc. If Willian had stayed back, maybe Chelsea might not sign one of those players. On the other hand, Willian joining Arsenal will make Arsenal stronger and will add to the competition for the top 4 spots… Above all, I think Chelsea made the right decision, and with the signings they have made already, they will be a team to beat if they all click and gel together.
What do you think? – Do you think Chelsea made a big mistake to let Willian join Arsenal?
