Not every signing like this will be like Minteh but one hit covers a lot of failures. Also £3m and on low wages, we could still be making money out of him if he has a breakout season.
We know Bruno and Tonali are good enough for this club. Willock has been struggling for form for two years now and is one of our few non-crucial assets that someone might actually buy. He wasn't the worst today but IMO once again did nothing to prove we should try to keep him.
I would be amazed if there isn't a bookie offering Newcastle top 5 yes or no. You could also offer people the chance to bet on us to make it at an exchange like Betfair.
Think it’s just self confidence and knowing exactly what to do tactically through good coaching. I don’t believe players can really improve any technical attributes in their late 20s.
