(Played 40, scored 7 in all comps this season) Don’t know who will agree, but I thought even in his first season here on loan, I thought the last couple of months his form went backwards after a great first three months. The lad has got talent, but there are certainly big question marks about his attitude. His second season on loan was basically a non event for the full time he was here.

Didn’t he have some awful stat in his second loan spell, like basically didn’t touch the ball once in a whole half of football or some shite like that. The previous season I saw him at SJP for the win against Southampton and he was awesome. Really good day that. Then saw him in the pre season against St Pats Athletic and he looked fat and unfit. People can make excuses for him, as mentioned above about a second loan spell hurting his feelings, but bollocks to that, he’s supposed to be a professional footballer. The minimum he could have done was show up to pre season in some sort of shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right back also, but if Ashley is still the owner nothing will happen as we know. I mentioned it in the match thread on Saturday but I’d go back for Choudhury to partner him. Think it’d be dynamic and they’d compliment each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Unfortunately i think joeyt is right, we're not signing him. The kids an absolute must if we could sign him, goals from midfield are natural to him like they were to Frank Lampard on what we've seen so far. You can't train that into someone, he just has it.

Bimpy474 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Bruce can do the good things and make good signings, that's not the issue really. As it's turn out he's a rather horrid person, putting the odd decent thing and his demeanour aside. Long term he's not good enough as a manager and that's what we base our argument (facts) on, he past record tells even the thickest of fools that.

Dr Jinx Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 The worst thing that could happen to him will be going back to Arsenal, being asked to do something totally different and losing all this confidence he’s built up. I've long believed that both managers and players are just suited to some clubs more than others. He fits in here, if there’s a chance to do this deal the club have to. Pay the 30 million. Cheap when you think about his goals potential over a full season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Just seen Willock's interview and he seemed to be swaying towards signing for us for the first time. The fans chanting for him to stay certainly seems to have affected his thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Seems a reasonable shout that another loan will be on the cards. Difficult to predict what sort of transfer budget we'll get this summer. The agenda is that we'll get nowt like we always do, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us spend competitively again (followed next season by the "what he's got to work with" rhetoric from the sofa mob), but Arsenal are surely gonna price us out? The lad's on fire and has his entire career in front of him. Might as well ask for daft money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Willock arguably as important to us as Wilson and Maxi - his goals in 6 of those played a part in earning 15 points i think. insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
