I don’t think Edu & Arteta intended for Willian to play a massive role on the pitch.

More a case of Europa League, Cup games and the odd League game but generally being a role model for Martinelli, Saka, ESR, Willock, Reece, Pepe and Saka.

Could probably add Ceballos to that as well...people forget he’s still relatively young in his career and trying to bridge that gap so he can become a first team regular at a top club.

PS - I like the new signing...takes some pressure off ESR and Martinelli. Last thing either needs is another long spell out.

See out this season and we have two cracking experienced players to go to war with next season.

Saka too...he can come on for Saka during games...I don’t think Saka has an off switch...just 100% for 90 minutes. You need to protect players like that.
