Why are Tottenham fans booing Chelsea star Willian? Transfer grudge explained (Image: GETTY)
And it was there belief that the Blues had only bagged him to prevent Andre Villas-Boas piecing together a team capable of challenging them.
The bad blood caused by Willian's transfer added to the ill-feeling which had built up after Chelsea had previously targeted Luka Modric.
And the fury has been maintained to this day with Willian bearing the brunt of it whenever he lines up against Tottenham.
Willian will no doubt hope to silence his critics by popping up with a goal as Chelsea seek to overcome their foes.
