Willian to Nottingham Forest transfer update sparks mixed response

Nottingham Forest supporters are split over whether they want the club to sign free agent Willian.

The Reds have reportedly submitted a "proposal" to the former Chelsea and Arsenal winger, who is looking for a new club after his contract at Forest expired earlier this summer. At 34, Willian can still perform in the Premier League and will have something to offer at Forest.

That's what many supporters are saying, while others are not so sure Willian would be the right man for the job. There are no guarantees that he will continue his form because of his age, while it's argued that better options are available to Forest. Below is a look at what supporters have been saying.

@TalkForest1 : Do not turn your noses up at Willian for a season you absolute clowns, some of this fan base seriously…

@barbios79 : Please we don't want Lingard 2.0 wasting money.

@Jimjamhell : Just because Willian played well for Fulham does not mean he will for Forest.

@james_harding20 : Think people are forgetting that this man dropped two of the best performances against us last season. The home game where we lost 2-3 he ripped us a new one. Similar in the away defeat, a game in which he also got goal of the month. I’d be a big, big fan of this.

@Nesto25 : Willian? Don’t get it. Would much rather Hudson-Odoi.

@ChrisRe51287081 : Surely he picks Fulham or Saudi money why would he come to Forest when he’s played a full season with Fulham and got top 10. Be a awesome signing for us though.

@McBrads95 : Even though he was good last season, there’s other players we could get for that left sided player.

@s_redmist : I have to say I wouldn't mind this. Let's keep the Brazilian revolution going shall we?

Do you think Forest should sign Willian? Let us know in the comments.
