#2 Willian – Tottenham
Not many Liverpool and Tottenham fans like this man for what he did to their clubs. However, fans of the latter should be much more agitated than the Reds. Willian Borges might have been one of Chelsea’s most consistent performers over the last few years, but he could very well have been playing in a Spurs shirt were it not for Roman Abramovic’s intervention.
After completing his medical at Tottenham Hotspur, all was set for the Brazilian to join Roberto Soldado and compatriot, Paulinho, at the White Hart Lane. As it turned out, Abramovich personally moved to call Anzhi – Willian’s then club – owner, Suleiman Kerimov, to strike a deal. Willian then became a Chelsea player, leaving Spurs completely outraged.
Of his move to Chelsea, Willian said: “I don’t know how I can explain that moment. But it was the best moment I think in my life when I signed with Chelsea because it was my dream to come here.”
He then revealed his reason to reject Spurs: “When I came I am very, very happy to play for Chelsea, to win titles here, so I am very, very happy… Yes, it was difficult. But I didn’t sign. When at the last moment Chelsea call me I say I’m sorry but I go to Chelsea, that’s my dream. I have to go there, I don’t care. I go there.”
That was pretty freaking brutal.
