But he's not THAT in demand is he.
Just added Paulinho, Sandro and Rafael.
So much for twitter being an indicator.

6mLiverpool were very confident of landing Willian, but Spurs' bid has certainly complicated things.

6mLiverpool are now desperate to get the deal done, and have offered Willian big wages. We don't want to miss a third big target this summer.
Reds battle with Spurs for Willian

Anzhi Makhachkala attacking midfielder still target for Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool FC are locked in a battle with Tottenham for Brazilian winger Willian.
Both clubs have held talks with Anzhi Makhachkala and are willing to meet the Russian outfit’s asking price of around £28million.
Much now hinges on the Reds’ ability to agree personal terms with the 25-year-old and convince him that Anfield would be the ideal destination.
Willian is considering the rival offers and is expected to make a decision about his future in the next 48 hours.
Aly Cissokho is set to undergo a medical today ahead of completing his season-long loan move to Liverpool from Valencia.
The Reds have the option to sign the French left-back on a permanent basis for around £4million next summer.
The ECHO understands Liverpool have also renewed their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Tiago Ilori.
Rodgers was keen to wrap up a deal back in June but talks between the clubs broke down.
The Reds had a bid of around £3million rejected with Sporting demanding more than double that amount.
However, Ilori’s refusal to pen a new contract in Portugal has given Liverpool hope that a compromise fee can now be agreed for the 20-year-old.
The Reds were represented at Sporting’s game against Arouca yesterday and further discussions were held with the young defender’s representatives.
I detest that small football club.
I detest people that describe clubs as big or small.
It makes you sound about 8 years old
"@TonyBarretTimes: @weeredman1 The noises coming out of London are that Spurs are increasingly confident of signing him."
The more I read this thread, the more I hate spurs.
The more I read this the more I couldn't give a fuck about signing Willian.
Spurs will sign him and we'll go sign Kevin fucking Nolan!
IF we miss out on this guy, serious questions need to be asked on our negotiating tactics as we spend weeks talking to players, just for another club swooping in and taking our target in a matter of hours.
Dortmond did with that Miki fella and now its "appears" spurs are doing it with this guy.

We fuck about way too much with transfer targets. There's no doubt about it.
Err we never spoke to the Armenian. How do you know we've been speaking to this guy for weeks? Like most of us, you know sweet FA bout what's being said or done. So we really can't say we need to question ourselves.
Remind me what our league position was last year and what European competition we are in again Gary?
