Likes the Wuropa cup though..16 appearances 6 goals. 5 appearances, 3 goals, 3 assists this year. Will serve him well here.

Complete the signing about 7, announce it as late as possible, make the fans grateful for getting someone in. Show picture of him in England Jersey for max effect. #RuleBrittania "he is obz cla$$." 4 caps for U21s. Best of luck to him. Hope he can live up to some of the potential.

Camera showed them talking at least once iirc.

look at what else is (not) happening its would be one of the bigger transfers of the day and that sums up this window tbh Playing up the drama of Maitland-Niles going to WBA. There is no drama. BUT THERE COULD BE.

Lee on the pulse? After SSN already confirmed he agreed to the loan. 5 minutes before Lee's post: Sky Sports' Keith Downie: "We have had a development in the last 10 minutes or so. An agreement is now in place for Joe Willock to come on loan from Arsenal at Newcastle for the remainder of the season. Arsenal this morning sanctioned the deal after Newcastle made the initial approach and then it was up to the player himself and whether he wanted to make the move."

Chowdery not coming. Just Willock if we can push it through according to Downie.

On SSN now. Loan to end of season. Wait: "Clubs will now attempt to push through this deal before tonight’s 11pm deadline."

SSN: MAITLAND-NILES SITUATION ‘FLUID’ Would like someone else to nick him from Fat Sam. Would be hilarious.

Bloody hell BBC. You are supposed to wait until 10:50pm. No we have to muddle around and pretend we are busy with other irons in the fire.

Just Willock it is then.. IF we get him over the line. SSN: Leicester are unlikely to pursue their interest in Nathanial Chalobah after Watford made it clear they didn’t want the 26-year-old to leave on loan.

Absolute bitterness there.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-willock-mikel-arteta-newcastle-19746389 Already suggesting he is coming as number 10 lol. Fuck you Miggy. Back to defensive wing where you are best. On the upside, Bruce doesn't do tactics so no guarantee where Willock would play. "its up to you lad, just go play"

Exactly why we will wait to announce willock until nearly deadline despite it probably already being done. Maybe that's a bit too optimistic and we get no one.

Slower than Dummett FYI Would think Martins was faster.

Nah just drawing it out as an excuse to why no-one else will come in.

Hayden is switching to play for Jamaica isn't he?

We want Choudhury, Leicester will let him go if they can get Chalobah, Watford will let him go if they can get a Longstaff. We are too confused to make anything happen and Bruce will blame the press and fans.

TBF we need a midfielder more than a defender. Good point He has turned down going to Southampton because he wants to play CM. Given his age and potential we should be approaching to sign him permanently. They were willing to sell in the summer. He fits the profile of players we "target", other than the fact we have to pay actual money for him. If the takeover wasn't bubbling away and the pandemic we would likely offer 8-10m to try and sign him imo. UPDATE: Moot point - SSN - Agreed loan deal with WBA, heading for medical.

Fuck sake, just let him go man. Blatantly only keeping him because we failed to bring in a LB.

Not sure the under-26 policy is as unmoveable as it once was. Carroll, Rose, Hendrick, Wilson - all over 26. 'Keep us up inexpensively' appears to be the only meaningful policy in all football operations. Above all it's Premiership experience they look at now, Bruce banged on about a lot. Guess we will see if carr is really back lol Yet he would probably be one of our best midfielders lol.

Especially when it's a loan. Doubt they care about the age. More how much the wage split it.

Next up. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9205879/Newcastle-trying-convince-Arsenal-let-Joe-Willock-loan.html If we are getting anyone from Arsenal I hope its Maitland-Niles. Higher upside and versatile to our needs. Thankfully just two days of nonsense left.

On the flipside this type of shitehawkery from Ashley and co. is exactly what gives hope in the Jones situation being exactly what it looks like. Good luck to Yedlin.

That's whisper gold.

Having watched him prior, we havent even scratched the surface with him. Might have broken him enough to never realise it but we haven't seen what he is fully capable for sure.
