Chadli/Townsend/Eriksen as options from the left seems good to me. Think the right side has been more of a problem

I can see what you're saying, but I think a bigger difference is the managers' willingness to put the players on the pitch, rather than a big difference in the players' abilities

I want to see Lamela get more game time, and I think he needs to be played as far up the pitch as possible.
But from what I've seem of him, he seems very timid and weak. Clearly has quality though.

Pretty sure we were meant to be getting both and got only Eriksen.
So no bullet dodged, a good player lost if anything.

None of those players have been comfortable on that side, and none of them provide adequate defensive assistance. Eriksen has been able to overcome and contribute in the games in that role against weaker teams via sheer quality.

The only bit that grates me is that William signed for Chelsea over us because of Abramovich's doing his oligarch mate from Anzhi a favour to help him with their financial problems ( as well as taking Eto'o).
Eriksen has delivered far sooner than Willian, we paid less we and definitely got the better option.

Willian: 15 PL starts: 3 goals and 1 assist
Gylfi: 12 PL starts: 5 goals and 0 assists.
Chadli: 12 PL starts: 1 Goal and 3 assists
Eriksen: 18 PL starts: 6 goals and 6 assists
"Immense" is a strange word for a £30 million pound player that contributes at a poor rate, His goal+assist rate in the Ukrainian league was the same.

The fact that you've brought up stats which doesn't even begin to tell tell the full story of his all round contribution tell me that you haven't watched him at all.
Ask yourself this question, if a player who has similar stats every season, why has he commanded hefty transfer fees?

If I had changed the thread name to "Willian or Eriksen", people wouldn't have got their knickers in a twist.
As far as I was concerned, we were going to sign Willian, that failed so we signed Eriksen instead.
I'm not denying that Willian is a fantastic player, he clearly is. I'm just saying that if I buying Eriksen instead of Willian (if that were the case) seems like a good move at the moment.
I phrased it badly- I probably should not have put "Bullet Dodged"- My fault

Would have been very nice to have both, and both could have played in the same team.

I have been an Eriksen fan-boy since he was seventeen and said repeatedly on here that we really should sign him. His purchase was excellent value for money, with the likelihood that he will improve greatly at the Lane and the worst case scenario that we get 3 or 4 years out of him and then a mahoosive profit. In direct comparison to Willian, I feel he offers more end-product, too.
That said, Willian has certainly impressed me since he settled in, it certainly did humiliate our club the way Cheslea stole him from under our noses, it certainly upset AVB's apple-cart, and, to date, I have seen nothing to say we were either going to sign Eriksen or Willian (or, for that matter, Willian or Lamela). With that in mind, I really can't see the point in calling Willian a dodged bullet - unless, of course, it is to make us feel better for the way he helped those Chav ****s take the pure piss out of us again
